this all depends on where you are. In Mexico, for example, narcos definitely have as much or substantially more power than the government or an attorney. Mexico’s government captured El Chapo’s son and released him within a few hours because of the negative response from his goons. Mafia infiltration is so bad in southern Italy that many local governments have been completely disbanded. A lot of Eastern Europe/Russia are mafia states where you do not sniff power without street affiliation. Obviously, these are examples at the highest level but never forget, on a macro economic level, that there is no money like drug money and even the ‘squarest’ people willingly get into bed by way of bribes, extortion or flat out intimidation because of the power associated with large scale drug traffickers.

There are squares in the street. Being square is a matter of mindset and mannerisms.
Yeah I lived in Italy so I know what you mean but there’s nothing like that in the US. If there’s any fringe group that has power in US government offices its the white supremacists which aint really what I would compare to the cartels or mafia.
Street dudes are the biggest c00ns on the planet if you ever see them in a situation where they are around white folks consistently.
It's many reason why people get called a square.
russ is called a sqaure because he not from the hood and has a clean cut image.
In light of recent(and obvious) events, I'm seeing alot of black women on social media throwing their "support" behind corny and "square" nikkas. How about black women try to actually respect a "square" nikka first before you try to get with one smh lol.
Financially speaking,but obviously not to women if you have to campaign. Never seen tall,handsome,charismatic black men have to campaign for these "attributes" to be valued.
Not championing being unsuccesful at all,just saying be careful what you champion to your women if you aint the champion.
Im only telling you the black mans future in America. The black woman is currently being programmed to value wealth,careers,business ownership over looks(genetics),a black mans aura(passionate,cool),character,spirituality.
Black men pushing this Kevin Samuel styled rhetoric dont even realize they rigging the game against themselves.once you downplay those things what does it matter what color of man they choose?
Granted hood nikkas havent programmed women into valuing positive attributes in black men either. But at least they wasnt playing right into the white mans agenda/wheelhouse giving him home court advantage#TwoSidesOfTheSameCoin
All women are programed to want the same thing.
You guys gotta stop with this afrocentic that really is american idea of what africa is mindset

To be fair, just because you aren't sneaking guns into airports doesn't mean you're a square. A lot of white dudes at the apex of finance, business, law, medicine are some of the most aggressive, cold blooded a$$holes you'll ever meet. And yes they fukk hoes and cop cars...
As a successful square I certainly remember being passed up by chicks in HS and early college. But I can also acknowledge I was a fukking lame. Didn't talk much, dressed like shyt, didn't stand out at all. I'm not gonna blame women for ignoring Young Piff. The woman in the video wanted to avoid the topic but it's true: money is the equalizer. It doesn't matter if you're square when you're doing errands in your BMW and obviously look like you "do something." I'm almost in my mid 30s and still have 18-21 year old chicks looking at me when I'm out, solely because of what I do. Now imagine that times 10,000 as an NFL QB. Of course money played a role.
There's a half life on the street/thug shyt IMO. You can run through all the hoes but once you get too old you look like a fukking clown. Black dudes in their 30s can often look much younger, meaning thugs avoid hitting that wall for awhile but eventually it comes. Eventually you're the old guy in the club trying to dress younger but fukking the fit up. Eventually you're the old guy without a passport, living in a meh apartment, working a meh job. There's always gonna be a thick 30 year old woman out there still chasing bad boys but your pool shrinks. Meanwhile that square dude is still doing what he wants, with who he wants..
These 30-40s year old guys in business/law/etc roll into work parties all the time with some dime college student. I'm telling you...

Malcolm x was a street dude. Huey Newton was a street dude. Stokley Carmichael was a street dude. Plenty of other examples of black men who dabbled in the streets who are not c00ns.

Isn't it crazy how a population of black people look down on you if you're a law abiding citizen

Women seek power. Black men are pigeon
If your argument was black men in the corporate world, yeah. But business owning black men within black communities is a W for black female hypergamy
