Do Middle Class Black Men have a Group Identity?

[Busted_Toes]

Street Nikkas, Religious Nikkas, Sport Nikkas all have a Group identity..

"I'm Christian"

"I'm 57 Hoover"

"I'm Hebrew Israelite"

"I'm Piru"

"Ima hooper"

etc..

Middle Class Black men just abandon the hood and PAWG; or cosplay together in Suits. There isn't really a Group of young professional Black men that appeal to the youth. Streets is recruiting everyday, so many young nikkas lost because they haven't got any identity outside of their neigborhood.

I was thinking maybe a Frat but that shyt is not appealing, just looks homosexual.

Oh lawd. You're not about to suggest an acronym are you?

If they're cosplaying? What should black men normally dress like?

NEW Blacks

Isn't that to do with dating?

I saw it floating around a few times so I’m not sure. I thought it was to do with your saying: black men who are politically and socially homeless. But again, I could be misinterpreting it.

At least to me, if you don’t fulfil the narrow archetypes that are put on straight black men, you end up being in a weird gray area. So I see where you’re coming from.

I grew up in what would be considered middle class. A large portion of other middle class black males I knew purposely chose to be "in the streets". Subconsciously they felt that would make them more "black".

This thread makes no sense.
For some reason people here act like Middle class black men are all nikka nerds/Carlton Banks.
A middle class black man can be/do anything he wants.

i'm not saying they can't. I'm saying it would benefit, if there is a group identity that appeals to the youth.

Yeah, I’ve seen this play out in real time. This is what happens when there’s a lack of black male leadership. We’ve allowed intersectionality to co-opt the dysfunction in the black community.

You can’t be for black rights if you’re not: pro-LGBT, pro-trans, pro-immigration, pro-feminism. They’ve co-opted our civil rights and use our deaths and discrimination as a Trojan horse. Just look at BLM as a prime example.

You’re not black if you don’t vote for Biden. You’re a c00n if you don’t vote at all. It’s “Misogynoir” if you don’t bootlick these twitter birds. You’re homophobic if you don’t embrace gay black caricatures.

If you’re a straight black male that only cares about black people, it’s a waste of time because almost everyone has been compromised to get crumbs from the table. We’re not allowed to have an identity without being defined by everyone else but ourselves.

We’re the only group who are told how to think, vote and act.

The appeal of being a middle class black man should be getting money and staying out of jail. We can’t have a group identity because we all have different careers, hobbies and interests.
