“Anybody Else Disturbed and Embarrassed at how Proudly Ratchet our Culture has Become?”

Yes. at least what is shown in the media. yesterday I was watching the awards show and seen a bearded sassy overweight black man twerking on stage.

black men are portrayed as sissys like him or hyper-violent, can’t help themselves dumbasses like Da Baby.

Thank God i don’t surround myself with degenerates like what’s shown on tv/social media

You got nothing to say about the overwhelming violence? The push for people to scam, deal and rob? To prove you’re not a “lame”? And how these entertainers are the de facto leaders of our community? Or about the prevalence of absent fatherhood?

And yes modern twerking is not classy, I don’t care how it tries to be spinned (Africans wiggled their booty in rituals so we must do it on a restaurant table )but we got bigger problems. At least no one got hurt at those awards like we used to see. Hell I bet a bunch of people got awards for rapping about playing target practice in neighborhoods. Some drill artist from some hood got an award for best new artist and now all the other kids think they gotta go on drills, cuz that’s what’s awarded.

There's literally a trending topic of a 44 year old multimillionaire clout chasing at O-Block yet your post is only singling out the women.

We're a direct reflection of each other. If we want to change our women's behavior then we have to change ourselves first.​

Mannnnn, this my issue with the coli nikkas.

Everytime we talk about how we dislike the ratchet side of the culture, nikkas only talk about twerkin ass, box braided, clawed fingernails, brushed baby haired, dino eyelashes, f u c k fukk nikka free ass black women.

But rarely do we discuss the 10 toes down, ready to slide then spin the block, popping 30s, i can't control my anger so i have to kill people, tats and selling drugs are my personality, dont worry bout whats in my cup mud drinking ass black men.

The whole CULTURE is fukked up, but OP out here singling out black women. We all dun goofed, lil nikka.

And on top of that we’ve insulated ourselves from any reasonable criticism under the guise of culture

The only glimmer of hope is that this is what the media chooses to promote but it isn’t all there is. There are millions of just regular decent black folks out there. We just don’t have a voice.

nikka u grew up in the crack era

Shut yo dumbass up didn't nobody know what that shyt was in the beginning...and even still wasn't everybody smoking it and there were still positive influences being promoted..

Because they don't want to hear us unless we fit into that little "culture box"​

Its sad to say but degeneracy sells and often pays, staying in school getting good grades dont get you the instant gratification that clout chasing gets you and alot of it is that demonic drill music if we are honest. I am not a fan of music advocating black people killing other blacks as the main theme. Its bs

Out of sight out of mind. I haven’t watched the BET Awards since 2014. All the popular ratchet shyt going on today I don’t see unless it gets posted on here. The black people around me aren’t on that ratchet shyt.

Wholeheartedly agree. I didn’t know the BET awards were on and was made aware because of here.

It's always been an element of ratchetness check out the "Rump Shaker" video below. That jawn came out in 92' , most of them women grandmothers now . I do appreciate the ratchets for what they provide to the community but they will always be bottom tier.

It's hard to maintain cultural standards when they can go online and find idiots to support whatever bs they do. Social media has removed the shame aspect of our culture.

 

[Buddy]

We probably shouldn’t carelessly embrace ‘nikka’ y’all…
That shyt is deeper than we’re willing to admit.

nikka shut up ​

The difference is…..people are publicly shytting onJackson. Especially grown men.

When women go act rachet in professional establishments the culture tries to shut the business down.

Honestly, BET shouldn't even remotely be the benchmark for measuring black culture. It's entertainment.

Yet the average black citizen would agree that it is the closest representative of it.

 

[Ziggiy]

Kendrick, Lupe Fiasco, and other rappers/entertainers are starting to publicly speak out about how destructive the culture had become. Its become beyond embarrassing
