pretty sure he was being sarcastic while cosigning you :skip:
O.
there are some areas that make sense for black people to live. Places with houses.

But if you have to work across the damn city for work there are only so many black communities in each major city in america. We not deep like that.

Having children is also requires specan attention. The neighborhood isn't a village any.ore it's every man for himself

:dead: at me receiving a neg for making a thread

probably because you made this quote up

i dont think anyone should stay in severely crime ridden areas. but black folks got this problem where many of us measure success by living around whites.

when cacs choose to upgrade their quality of life, they're moving into white neighborhoods. when blacks choose to upgrade their quality of life, they're moving into white neighborhoods.

but brehs still choose to ignore importance of establishing your own. rather run up under what whites have established for themselves
It makes sense but you can't upgrade a housing project. Houses yes. That makes sense but if the raggedy ass nikkas are making land owners uncomfortable people are going to leave their own neighbirhoods

:what: I did? I posted the video where he called dude a hoe for not staying. And majority of black folk don't own shyt in the "hood" , so fix up someone else's apartment or project?

Let another man tell you where to live brehs

this. fukk that piece of shyt umar johnson and anyone else that thinks theyve got a right to tell black men what they can and cannot do.

That a real black man should stay in the ghetto even if his severely crime ridden?

Black men are the only men in the world that are expected to put up with bullshyt and not have better for themselves.

The answer no. a black man doesnt have to stay in a high crime area. They should stay where the fukk they want to stay and where they can afford.

I tried to stick it out in the "hood" for years after I could have bought a place in a nicer neighborhood.
Even tho I couldn't really let my kids be outside on their own, or leave the block ever, myself and my neighbors on my block were sticking together and trying to hold it down.

It eventually got to a point where I just couldn't hang anymore, little teenage a$$holes decided they'd just start breaking in the crib in the middle of the day when I was at work and I wanted to put my daughter in a better school, so I bailed 4 years ago. Honestly at first it felt kinda sell-out-ish, but my kids go to good schools now, and I can let them be outside without worrying about strays ( not even exaggerating).

So it's not fcuk the hood, cause it's were I'm from, and I got love and fond memories, but ultimately I just wanted my kids to not have to deal with the mess I had to.

Dudes don't hear you though, my son is the exact reason I moved out of Baltimore. nikkas standing outside all hours of the night, loud music til 3am , shootouts on the "playground", fiends walking around barefoot , neighborhoods beefing with each other, cars broken into. But I guess people are suppose to stay there to receive daps on the coli. If I didn't have a kid, I wouldn't care as much because I know most of the people in my surrounding area, but even then, nikkas will hate on you quickly. My moms use to always say when you bring something expensive into your house "TV, new Computer" etc. Cover it up when bringing it into the house. Can't even do good things for the community because when the neighborhood church setup a Carnival for kids/teens, nikkas start shooting up the place....

Son safety > Coli rep.
