Being Weird and Black Doesn’t Mean You’re Interested in Being White

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

If they are growing up around a majority of blacks who tell them they are into white boy shyt, the idea of black people being in to "non-traditionally" black things doesn't even cross their mind.

The ironic thing is, it's other black people who are telling them that black people don't like what they like.

Why would they then be inspired to find other black people with similar hobbies when it was black people telling them only white people like those hobbies in the first place?

Because this usually happens when they are kids, and they can’t grasp the concept that the black people in their immediate surroundings aren’t the only black people in the world.

I feel like we’re the only group of people who will write off most of our own because of bad experiences. I say this as a kid who was kinda nerdy, but still hung out with the popular kids because of my appearance once I got to high school and started working out. I still listen to Sting, and Josh Groban, and get told I’m not black because I don’t like potato salad.

Some of these black people who have white circles tend to allow their white friends to say racist things, then they feel internalized racism.

As a nikka I say this,

People just want to stereotype themselves when they think they can find Acceptance in it as the cool thing when in reality looking back lot of these cats are lame as hell for being small-minded.

Don't get it twisted because if we as a people always been trying to see are selves collectively instead of individually. Through it, there has been moral decay amongst ourselves as a culture. In my opinion though there has been many proud brother & Sisters that have repped for us proudly too many of us go "this nikka famous I gotta shine like that/out-do that nikka" thinking that were rebelling against current standards when really you're just conforming to them.

That's why I said be careful what you would entertain your mind into.
If you are of the same ethnic origin as I then you will clearly understand this problem from our point of view as melanated people of the African continent and diaspora.

Everywhere we go we try to emulate the greatness of ourselves without checking ourselves on all the fowl shyt that people of our race who have been magnified to a standard seem as acceptable.

We all cant be Ramsey unless you willing to face Moses consequences get what I'm saying?
I always hated it when other nikkaz from the street try to pass themselves off as big bad gangsters knowing they mama still whoop their ass when they get home. Like real shyt, if we celebrated organic attitudes us as black people cultivating "originality and weirdness" then you will see that we have tricked our selves to be lesser in order to pursue being greater (fitting in/selling out/c00ning)

I think I've discussed this topic enough, but it's 2019 and folks are more accepting now than they were before. The black folks that are still on that shyt are still in the past, and probably made their whole identity othering themselves from the whole black populus. They have to address their own self hate, and wondering why folks look at em different.

None of this is really a big deal as people make it out to be.

Basically. Frail ass people want everybody to accept them when that’s just not realistic. Be happy being you or do like someone else said and blend in.

As far as the article we have to be realistic if you’re into something that’s going to put you around majority people of a different race chances are their ways are going to rub off on you most times. People overall want to fit in so they start acting like those they are around a lot.

Young black children being socially ostracized isnt a big deal?

nikkas always going for the emotional hoe babble tactics. Too many of you men move like bytches smfh.

Because this usually happens when they are kids, and they can’t grasp the concept that the black people in their immediate surroundings aren’t the only black people in the world.

The same can be said about the people they grew up around.

If black people in their neighborhoods didn't allow them that freedom to be into whatever they wanted, it would make sense that they would uphold the same stereotypes about what is acceptably "black" and what is "white".

"If I'm into white boy shyt I need to find white boys to hang out with"

It's a paradox of black people putting black people in a box while claiming to not what to be put in a box.

“Weird” is subjective, but a lot of these kind of black people are simply nerds who aren’t attractive, and have bad social skills. White people who like anime and cosplay aren’t exactly the most popular people in their circles either. The black nerds aren’t usually friends with other nerds, so to say that black people don’t like her just because of her interests sound like a cop out to hang with white people, and by white people, I mean white nerds. So it appears they accept her more. When was the last time you saw an attractive and charismatic black person hanging out with white nerds?

Are white nerds winning Homecoming Queen?


I rest my case.

All you have to do is see the average pictures of people who faithfully attend them comic con things to know what the real deal is looks wise. Them folks not only weird but normally unattractive and that’s just a bad combination period. They know what time it is because people usually hang with people on their level but they want more and they know the chances of that happening are slim so they start whining.

Calling yourself weird and black and just code for I prefer non black dikk/ p*ssy

So you have to be cool and attractive to hang out with black people?

Do you guys not see how you're only proving that very point?

Such a strange problem. No other black group of people talks about this.

The only point I’m proving is that people get emotional like bytches and then can’t read with understanding. Not a mother fukking thing I posted said or implied said you had to be cool and attractive to hang around black people. Get out your fukking feelings. Matter of fact my post doesn’t even mention race stupid

Ehh, I understand being teased for liking certain things as a kid in middle/high school, especially if you grew up in the 80s/90s. Thing is, once you hit college age it’s generally considered normal to be into nerdy stuff and those “lunch table” cliques start to dissipate. As long as you weren’t actually weird or otherwise had awful social skills, didn’t shower, etc. you could mingle with people who had different hobbies.

It seems weird that people hold grudges gr when they were kids, especially as full grown adults where they’re likely more successful than the “jocks” that made fun of them at this point lol. It’s even weirder in 2019 where being black and nerdy is extremely mainstream.

This was me in HS. Be witty and no one cares what you're into.

Also what pen and paper system were you running?

I made up my own system which I guess was similar to DnD. It was nothing fancy. I had to do a lot of drawing though. Drew every single level, item, and enemy.

We weren't allowed to use dice in school. So what I did was take a pencil and wrote a number on each of the six sides.

It rolled pretty well and teachers didn't know what was going on. We also gambled with that lol

Edit: also the game was more boardgame like. So when you rolled you had to take that number of steps and basically had to clear the level before getting to the boss. The mechanics weren't that deep because I was in like 6th-7th grade. I had 2 of these RPGs running. A GTA inspired one and a Star Wars/LOTR inspired one.

I don’t really wonder why they are written. Honestly wish these people would just kill themselves and stop bytching. I see you’re one of these ugly nerds so you feel attacked. I still meant what I said sorry
