I have never seen anyone look down on smart kids in the black schools I went to.

I'm trying to figure out where you guys get this idea that black folks (black Americans to be exact) looked down or mocked extremely smart/book nerd kids in school because I never witnessed it. If anything what I seen was all the kids in school gave them props and complimented them on how intelligent they were,even the kids who gang banged or was in the streets gave them respect to the point were some were noticeably envying their continued success of getting good grade after good grade. Now I'm not trying to downplay anyone's experience, I'm just saying in my personal experience I haven't seen it.

Cuz its not true.

ive never seen someone looked down upon for being smart unless its some hating ass nikkas

i have seen smart people looked down upon for being goofys

I agree 100 percent. I’ve never seen anybody get beaten up or made fun of because they were smart. In fact I’ve seen them get praise by teachers and they made good money by helping other students cheat.

I agree OP, Smart kids werent looked down on where i went to school.

But, and i think this is what people are referring to, there were plenty kids who laughed at the idea of them themselves being smart or doing hw or studying, etc.

So yeah they didnt clown smart kids, but if u wanted to talk to them about certain subjects, they would be like... "fukk all that school shyt"

Now I did see this but it was usually because they didn't have the confidence in themselves to do the work so what they did was clown their selves to feel better

This thread is nonsense. Nerds get their asses whooped every day and in aevery demographic. Let’s not pretend we have some monopoly on uplifting smart kids.

Not heavily clowned, but I saw kids get teased for being in AP classes "with all the geeks".

Same thing with magnet/gifted programs.

If you were in the same classes as the "cool kids" but excelled, then nobody said anything. But once you started being in different classes, different programs, IB programs and s**t, that's when the slick comments came about.

 

[richaveli83]

I never saw it either or anyone clowning someone for "talking white." If they got clowned it was because they were lame or something having nothing to do with their intelligence.

 

[Roland Coltrane]

It definitely happened to me

 

[EBK String]

Because it's a white supramacist/c00n talking point

 

[MoveForward]

Neither have I, it's bullsh1t that socially awkward "smart" people made up to cope. I got bullied for being smart, totally ignoring the fact that they're creepy.

I have...and my nephew in 11th grade says its gotten worse

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

We got looked down on by our own people not because we were 'smart', but because the majority of our classmates were 'White'.

Im glad yall went to decent schools but this shyt didnt fly at my schools lol...

lets be real... nerds get clowned in every school. is it poor social skills? i went to both black, white schools. Rich and poor schools. its just a society thing i guess.

its probably a generation disconnect. i graduated this decade though

same thing wit talking white. yall keep swear nobody ever says it but i seen n1kkas get clowned for that all the time
