"If you not from the hood you didnt have it hard, even if you black"-Lil Boosie

[BrothaZay]

lmao no black person is immune to racist police, rich poor, or broke. the same pretty much goes for Mexicans. but I can assure you white people hate black people even more if they're successful.

Being hated>>>>>Being killed

I didn't grow up hard

He is telling the truth. As someone from the suburbs, I can agree.

To deny it is the equivalent of a light skinned girl saying she has it just as hard as or harder than a darker skinned girl. Yes we all go through struggles, but some of us are going through something more and that can't be ignored because it means something too and has to be taken into account when we consider each other.

Acknowledging that, in love, is not an issue. Stating your own privilege is not an issue and is actually the start of solving the problem.

So yeah. I agree with him and take that into account with my beliefs and purpose, because that's the role of the middle class, and especially middle class blacks. To see evaluate our position in society and use that to help others.

Yeah, we are all here to help each other, which is why middle class blacks have to knowledge their privilege as well.

And just as it pertains to whites and men, privilege does not necessarily mean you will be successful, but it def helps.

Not going to fool myself into thinking my family's money, friendships, networks, educational background, free time vs. work, etc. didn't help out there.

This is one avenue to solving the problem. Give young people in the hood hope that there is a way out. Create a pipeline of higher education and show that kids can be whatever they want.

To your point of black privilege in the middle class... Please know that does not exist. It was handed to or passed down. It was achieved through hard work. We cannot compare black middle class (or upper class) to white middle class. It's two separate journeys.

breh you keep avoiding the point,

most killings in the hood are black on black

in the burbs police are still killing people of colour, people going to school in the burbs still getting attacked.

people in the burbs dont have it harder than people in the hood. stop arguing with me about this

most of the problems people in the hood have are self inflicted, black people harming other black people.

people in the burbs getting attacked by everyone around them.

I cant feel sorry for black people when its self inflicted.

I really wish you understood what "western" means

By Western I mean Western European inspired cultures. Which would include Australia.
