It's a whole lotta hating ass shyt in here and most of it are from Richmonders who don't realize how good they got it. One thing about Virginia, muhfukkas will shyt on our own harder than anybody from outside. I lived in Nova (Woodbridge/Fairfax), Central VA (Richmond/Tri-Cities), and The Beach...
That "VA is wack" is some hating ass shyt you find from Virginians in all VA metros
...
Virginia is one of the dopest states period, easy Top 10 shyt, it shyts on Maryland easy, and Richmond is a special, special city. Some of yall ain't really been nowhere and you can tell when yall shyt on VA, I'm bout to set the record straight though...
It is beautiful based on what I saw. Also, felt like it had a lot of history. That’s one of the places I wouldn’t mind moving to. I feel a bit of a connection to it since my grandfather came to Philly as a young man from Virginia.
I'll try to keep this brief because I've already mentioned the following on here in the past. But Virginia is maybe the most historic state in The Union, and if you're BLACK and even somewhat in tune with our history here in the US, Virginia is probably the single most significant state to black history and black culture in America...
Our journey on this stolen land that we didn't ask to be brought to started here. The vast majority of cultural blackness in the US has its roots in Virginia, from how we celebrate (family reunions), to how we worship (Christian denominations), to how we eat (soul food), the list keeps going. This is all facts...
Virginia is fukking hallowed ground and maybe my perception is shaped in part by being a well-traveled transplant, but I'm proud to call myself a Virginian, even if an adopted son. It ain't perfect, but it's a special territory if your blackness is rooted in America---->at least it should be...
This isn’t true at all.
You’re just looking at it through the lens of a native.
I get it, I’m from VA too.
But Richmond has grown a helluva lot over the last 20 years.
Especially since the 80s.
It was hell on Earth back then.
Bruh anyone saying Rich hasn't grown since the 80s or 90s is exposing themselves...
Richmond is historically one of the most dangerous sizable cities in the nation, anyone who talks about cities being historical war zones in this country and omit Richmond just ain't in the know. What Baltimore is today is basically what Richmond was until like 2006...
People who think Rich has hot areas now have no idea what it was like 15+ years ago, going back to the 60s. All this shyt I'm saying is easily researchable. You used to be playing with your life to go almost anywhere in Richmond unknown---->somebody said The Ward is garbage today
. I know what muhfukkas woulda said if they woulda seen it the way it was when I first seen it in the early 00s...
Richmond's rise from being LITERALLY one of the most violent cities in America to what it is today are a testament to the growth the city has had that some people in here swear it hasn't
...
Richmond is wack
Nova>VA beach/the tidewater region>>>>Richmond
Man hell nah...
See the problem with Nova is you gotta talk about it as one place because there isn't a single city in Nova fukking with Richmond. As a collective sure, bit then you're comparing a region of 3 million people that's essentially suburban DC, to just one city that's the most unique city in Virginia...
Tidewater is pretty generic to me, I fick with it but the only city that's really popping to me is Virginia Beach. Rich and VB are the two best cities in VA, everybody else comes after, but thats how cats do, compare the whole 7-0 or 7-5 to Richmond because as a CITY Richmond is spanking anyone...
This ain't even hyperbolic, anyone who has traveled when people hear "Virginia", Richmond is the first city people think of, Richmond has the most urban character, Richmond has the most cache...
All my homies used to work there. Used to sneak in the nggas that dropped out … Saturday morning runs almost every week would end on a disputed call.
