Black culture being synonymous with "ghetto"

[JLova]

Have yall noticed this? If you asked a non-black what black culture was...what do you think would be their response? Pretty sure you'd be ready to knuckle up.

I don't like the term "ghetto" because it seems to be yet another code word created by whites to sh1t on blacks. Just like "thug" is the new "n1gger".

If it's not a part of white culture, it's considered "ghetto".

It's perfectly fine to stereotype all blacks as having the same culture BUT DON'T YOU DARE say all whites have the same culture! White people are vastly different

What's the difference between blacks? We all look the same and all have the same culture, obviously. Nuances don't matter. ****** culture is ****** culture.

Spoiler

Sad thing is plenty of CACs think that way

This. But it's annoying how hard some try to define you. The thing is, some don't even know how stupid they sound...the word is so ingrained in our culture, I don't think it'll go away. These are the little examples of conditioning being detrimental to blacks that whites don't seem to understand when the topic of inequality comes up.

Lets not even talk about the ones who treat a law abiding, educated, articulate black as some sort of anomaly. "Oh, you're one of the good ones" LOL

Yall did it to yourselves promoting and bragging about it for the last 2 decades so no need to get worked up over it.

Look at 90% of black icons esp in music and they still always need to remind everyone there from the hood

I can't even count the number of times a CAC has told me "you're not like the other blacks" or "why aren't you like the rest of them"? . I don't even know what to tell these fools.

Hell...

I've even had CACs come up to me and try to tell me that I'm white like they are because I speak proper English (for the most part), wear my pants at their appropriate height, and am at least somewhat intelligent.

Do these Willy Lynch-ass CACs think that divide and conquer bullshyt's gonna work on a nikka like me? Please. I see through that shyt like casper

black people embrace and perpetuate "hood culture". bottom line. if suddenly, using your brain to it's fullest potential became the new swag, then we will see perceptions change. but as long as worldstarhiphop.com and cell phone cameras are around, we will ALL be looked at as ghetto savages, regardless of your education/socio-economic status. for the most part, we are portrayed in the media as uneducated, criminal, oversexed, violent, government assistance recipents. but unfortunately, we do it to ourselves most of the time. if there were very few instances of hoodrat behavior, there would be nothing for white people to talk about.

damn....i'm on my and larry elder shyt right now , but unfortunately, it's true. until we change, perceptions will stay the same.

The sheer ignorance is ridiculous. But I'll either respond with something just as ignorant or make them look dumb. Depends on my mood.

There was a whiteboy I went to HS with that used to say "nikka" all the damn time. I don't even say that shyt myself, so it kinda irked me that he used that shyt so freely. Anyway, I told him to tone that shyt down one day, and his reply was: "You're not proud of your culture, you should take pride in that word, blah, blah, blah, blah..." He used to hang with a lot of ignorant fukkers who just let that shyt slide. He's in prison for life now, 1st degree murder.

You should be proud of that. What's wrong with speaking properly and dressing the right way?

Such a stupid argument. That's like saying that black people are fully justified in hating white people since it's all reactionary. I mean you have spent centuries committing crimes against humanity right?

sad...

just call them trailer or euro trash...honky...which other culture do you have buddy, thats what you wanna recognize? "hoodness" / supposed negativity?

obama? will smith? oprah? rich professional blacks? etc? aint make strides?

ok kkklown trash.

and on the real...even the hood culture gotta be checked...the culture and subculture has been exported globally...so there is a source of such perspective...and the overadulation of whiteness is sickening...stop giving them credit...make your own / partner or building...they aint bigging you up that much...on some regular tip...

Same way "Trailer Trash" and others isn't said for blacks, go take your righteous ass somewhere.
