I have never seen anyone look down on smart kids in the black schools I went to.

That's essentially my story.

I fought some, stabbed a nikka with a pencil once, got suspended for fighting once. But I was comfortable enough with my people that those negative experiences didn't change the way I thought of them.

My reaction wasn't to stereotype my whole race and forswear them forever. :beli:

fukking c00ns. Yeah, I said it. And fukk Obama and John McWhorter. :rudy:
Just to correct you... Obama can’t be a c00n, cause honestly he’s not even black. John MecWhorter certainly gives off that c00n vibe. I fukk with Glenn Loury though...

I was that dude that got straight A's, but no one really thought I was "smart" until they were in the same class with me.

Hung out with brehs that either played football, got high all day or both. It was just assumed I was a knucklehead. By middle school, a couple of (rich) brehs figured out I was smart and paid me to do their homework. I would purposely make sure they got B or B+ grades so it wouldn't look suspicious. Got cash, FUBU jerseys and 2 FOSSIL watches. Being a nerd paid well.
I’m the exact opposite of you. Never got high, didn’t play hs sports and hell would freeze over before I did someone else’s work.... hell no...

Yeah, I def grew up with it. In my experience, you'd get made fun of for:
  • Having super nerdy interests (games, comics, etc.)
  • Not speaking using slang (my parents didn't play that)
  • Listening to different types of music (again my parents weren't fans of hip-hop)
  • Wasn't really into any sports at the time
While I got along with most kids my age, I definitely got ribbed on stuff like that. As I got older I noticed that those social divides start to lessen up and you see more overlap.



Yeah at this point being black and nerdy is ridiculously mainstream. 90's were a different era :ld:

Haha did you get triggered?
thanks for proving my point. :mjlol:

"them nikkas in gen pop hated me" :mjcry:

you saw other black people as some kind of felons, but got the nerve to act like people didn't like you for educational purposes. You're smug. Like i said, being smart isn't looked down upon, some of yall just had stank ass attitudes.

Lmao, who said people didn’t like me let alone hate?:mjlol: I said you get clowned for being smart. I was still banging ni66@z little sisters... The hate didn’t work. I had no serious issues as I hinted to earlier cause I’m too self assured. And just to be clear I was in gen pop majority of my career just not during my time in magnet. Specials were still with regular school kids. I had to go to lunch and do recess, play pick em mess em up all that. I’m only using gen pop in hindsight cause it just occurred to me. I wouldn’t have even had that conception as a kid.

I started in public school specifically bc my mother didn't want me to turn out like you. No disrespect, but... sir, you sound like a c00n. :francis:

I went to school with the 'best' rich preppy white folks and I'd prefer my kids around honest people. The effects of placing young black kids in the dog-eat-dog, Cruel Intentions world of the most exclusive independent schools has not been widely studied (that I know of), but, as one who survived mentally intact, it wasn't easy. Those who are still normal have been cynical, distrustful of wp, and somewhat woke from the beginning. The lost ones sound like you. :francis:

Oh yes he can.

(See what I did there. :pachaha:) If you're a foreigner and/ or biracial who cloaks yourself, not in some amorphous "black culture", but AA culture specifically, you've opened yourself up to being judged on AA standards.

If you viewed other black people as "general pop" like they were felons or something then, i'm not buying the "i was too smart" shyt. Maybe you carried yourself the wrong way and people with street smarts picked up on it.

I don't think he meant it as if they were like felons but when you go to a school like that and get sectioned off from other kids, it can make people feel some type of way.

If you're "too smart" for regular classes the teachers want you to stfu and make sure you don't alienate the other kids in the classrooms..which were big af back then, like 20-30 kids. Once they get sick of you, you get the 'privilege' of going to smaller classrooms with with harder work, more expectations and if you're broke and from the hood, you're now getting looked down on by a different set of kids. You leave there, or go to lunch with the "normal" kids and they know you go to GT classes, they think nikkas is in there, they mad because they think you're getting candy and winning ribbons or some shyt :laugh:

You entitled to your opinion. I personally disagree.

I'm trying to put my future seeds on the path to victory by whatever means necessary. We are a conquered people. I'm trying to raise conquerors so putting them in a cruel intentions environment is a good training ground. To overcome they gonna have to do some cruel intentions and gully shyt. It teaches the lesson that power is everything and if you don't have it your just food out here.

No you can't.

Putting your kids in a majority white school means you don't want them in a majority black school.

Which is c00ning on here. I.e. I'm a uncle ruckus.

It is what it is.

I just hate the anti-intellectual streak in the black community. A group that for the most part doesn't produce our own weapons, food, or economic opportunity the main ones talking about over throwing white supremacy.

And when you point this out nikkas got 1001 reasons why they can't do the above. All this pro black shyt you seeing now is a front. Give it till 2025.

Kids had backwards priorities. They knew all the song lyrics, but not the algebra formulas in middle school and I wasn’t about that. I stopped listening to all music cause I thought it was a distraction until I switched school type for essentially high school and realized even smart kids listened to music and still knew they school work.

You needed Tommy, polo, fubu, nautica. My folks had me at 40 so they said you only need clean clothes without holes in them and other families can’t pay bills. Plus grown men take kids clothes so you don’t need any Jordan’s in the streets.

I never let anyone openly cheat cause I worked hard in middle school. I thought academics was suppose to be competitive so...

So yeah...it was definetly possible to get clowned in all black schools late 90s and early 2000s. And even picked on. If you were on some go to school for the education it was rough at times...not acting up plus all I mentioned above.
