On the flipside...people from the hood will diss a suburban dude because from their POV (key word their) he didnt experience any struggles and had everything given to him.
Theyll say things like he's white washed, has no street smarts, is spoiled, snobby, etc. It goes both ways breh

. People in the black community glorify being hood and shun those who came up a bit easier. Probably the reason you cant take the hood out of a nikka even if you take him out the hood. He doesnt wanna be seen has a suburban p*ssy but a tough hood nikka rather.
shyt I know a dude..childhood friend who moved to the suburbs from one of Toronto's hoods around age 10. Dude got shot just down the block from my parents house in the suburbs weeks ago off some foolery. The trouble was certainly avoidable based on stories I heard.
Yea unfortunately, to survive in the hood, you usually have to be either extremely street smart, or play the part that gets you the least L's. I remember being called a whiteboy for such things
as using "solemn" in a sentence and the first time I busted out a skateboard. I am not worried about it now, though, cause I think deep down, some people feel it is a threat
to their blackness to embrace such things. I was always confident about my identity so I never had that conversation with myself, but trust me when I say if everybody COULD leave the hood,
most would. Unfortunately, when you are in it, you are a bit player at the mercy of a shytty environment.
What is another issue is well-to-do blacks going back to the hood to get some sense of authenticity. I lost a couple homies off that shyt. Most people aren't about that life, and better still,
most don't *want* to be. It is imperative we find ways to get cash flowing into those neighborhoods, cause I don't know about the rest of the country, but her in Chicago, hoods
get leveled instead of fixed. Those people get displaced, hence our Southside being fukked up. Gentrification I have no problem with, though my old neighborhood looks NOTHING like
it did when I grew up, but I also don't see the pushers, the gang bangers, the prostitutes I used to. Unfortunately, for the rich developers to come in, people who
grew up rough lose their homes and get thrown into another area with people who don't want them there.

Thank GOD my mom wasn't on that hood shyt.
Saved me a lot of grief.
