Not every nikka has low self esteem. Not every sista is a hood rat.... I honestly think that the media, and social structure play a big role on how we view ourselves. Add the fact that the majority of us don't have a clue about our real history, and here we are in lost in 2013.

The black forum you are looking for is this, http://www.tiredblackman.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?fid=1

They will answer your question with no troll or bs, straight to it, I just found out about that forum last night.

I also suggest you post this in HL to get the feedback you deserve.
I will check it out. The threads on the first page look Tommy Sotomayor friendly which makes me skeptical. Im not tryna read a bunch of nikkas talk down on black women but I will have to explore more to see what the site is really about.

Yes, but in general all black people do.

We are still in the post slavery stages in which black people are seeking acknowledge from whites and based their happiness on how theyre accepted by them. To a point that we imitate standards of beauty, wealth and materialism. We talk down to each other from a white point of view, we sell each other out for them, we even kill each other for them.
This is why you have shows like scandal getting huge ratings from black women just off the strength the lead actress is black and have a white man. This is why you have black men degrading themselves trying to get a piece of a american pie aka blonde hair blue eyed white girl,

Still Im not even mad, it took 100s of years to break us down as a people, its gonna take 1000 years for us to be whole again.

Think of us as a glass vase, in a instant it can shatter upon impact but it won't be in an instant to put ourselves back together
:salute: dont give up the fight to restore our people minds and spirits

how you can have a big ego and low self esteem?

you smart dumb nikkas never cease to amaze me

This is definition of narcissism. The Ego and the Self are two different things. Your self is the reality of who you are and what you do. Your ego is the space between you and the world..

Narcissism is having a huge ego, but inside you don't really have anything going for yourself. Your confidence is based on the perception of yourself as seen by others. True confidence and self-esteem is one valuing oneself.

I dont think its a black thing as much as its a poor people thing

People who have nothing put way more stock in how they are perceived and the status that comes from that

In a lot of cases that mentality can linger even after a poor person makes it... my pops grew up in a shanty town, made it big in America and blew it all because he put his ego/status before his career/finances. He is still stuck in his village, emotionally

nikkas need to wake the fukk up... obviously you can't lose yourself or sacrifice who you are... but at the same time you can't let that shyt come ahead of handling your business

People (not just black people but Americans in general) are more concerned with LOOKING successful than BEING successful...

Yes. We have extreme "fake it til you make it" syndrome. It doesn't just apply to wealth but to self-love, as well.
