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

[Black Haven]

Not heavily clowned, but I saw kids get teased for being in AP classes "with all the geeks".

Same thing with magnet/gifted programs.

If you were in the same classes as the "cool kids" but excelled, then nobody said anything. But once you started being in different classes, different programs, IB programs and s**t, that's when the slick comments came about.

Its interesting that you say that because if you were in AP, honors, or student council then 9 times out of 10 you would be one of the most popular kids (especially if you was attractive) in the schools I attended

I can only speak for myself but i was a straight A student, honor role, all that ish

I never got clowned for being smart.

But i think i was somewhat insulated for being a 3 sport athlete. Had i not played sports would my experience have been different??

Maybe but honestly i dont think so. The people who got clowned were just socially weird. Wasnt about GPA

At the HS I went to the AP classes were hard as f**k, required a ton of study, and football/basketball players were advised not to take them.

There was only a couple "popular" girls in the AP classes, and neither of them were as known as the s**t compared to the gen pop. They just were the coolest of the bunch in those courses.

Some of the popular kids in regular courses did fairly well, tho. My senior year I scaled back the difficulty, and saw that.

This thread is nonsense. Nerds get their asses whooped every day and in aevery demographic. Let’s not pretend we have some monopoly on uplifting smart kids.

Gotta disagree breh, smart kids are smart, a valuable commodity in any school setting . nerds are annoying af and those got dealt with especially them cac ones.

How do I know? Cuz I was a smart nikka and never had no issues. Matter of fact I was popular in all circles and never had problems getting girls neither

 

[UncleTomFord15]

I just graduated hs in the past few years, and I can say alot of nikkas looked down on black people who didn't act a certain way.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Well it wasn’t like the movies and shyt

Everyone would know you smart af but no one would really care but bum hoes that wanted to cheat off your shyt.

When u got older you would tutor people who actually gave a fukk

But my generation at least, being smart af was pretty cool

Pretty much my experience as well

Like I had nerdy moments (comics, technology, etc)., but I didn’t give af about a lot and actually dropped out of Hs twice

I definitely wasn’t an annoying geek... most of the time I was suspended in HS (ISS)... but still passed every class with like an A/B (even got an A in summer school for Algebra 2... I never showed up to first period all year)



I was also playing football/hooping/lifting/boxing

I think it depends on the income level of the school. And not every nerd is smart. Someone may be lame, or have bad social skills, and get picked on. Some kids could be popular athletes, and get good grades.

They got it from Fresh Prince, when he said that he had to carry his books home in a pizza box, so he wouldn't get beat up.


I too have never seen this happen.

 

[frankster]

Back in the 80.s and 90's it was called "Acting white" to be so label was to be exposed to jeering, taunting, ribbings and digs or in today parlance roasting,slams or negging - throwing shade etc.. from their peers

 

[315]

Me either, i'm guessing a lot of nikkas that complain about that or how they got teased for being into "nerd" shyt were just sensitive.

 

[Freedman]

Biggest regret of my life so far is not maximizing my academic potential because I wanted to be the class clown to fit in with the other kids. I made a 31 on the ACT twice but had like a 2.5 GPA. Hell my senior year I made 3 Fs in English 4 because I flat out didnt do any work and just acted an ass all class period

 

[bourgeoisie tall freak]

the only black school i went to was the hbcu....at that point people actually liked or at least pretended to when they asked to "collaborate" with me during tests and projects lmao

but at that point we are at the age where there is no "cool kid" peer pressure bs

 

[Citi Trends]

Most of the popular/cool kids in my school were the most excelling

If you got grades people wanted to be around you to at least cheat.

Basically this, besides the income part...that don't matter.

Smart kids adapt, if u around a certain set theres just some things them nikkas don't need to know if we aren't on that level. They don't need to know a nikka read Spiderman and can play a mean game of chess...breh what

Nerds don't have that trait, they awkward all the time I'm sorry but even the smart kids gonna pick on you

Both aren't the same.
