Is It Still Cool to be From Tha Hood?

[DIMES]

I look down on nikkas from the hood for the most part. That shyt ain't cool. It's sad cuz most nikkas I've talked to from the hood are all quitters and lazy. Talk to them for a few months and then they drop out.

shyt is sad af. It's funny tho I'm middle class even tho my family came from nothing. So I look down on hood nikkas until they give reason not too. It's not like I haven't met smart hood nikkas it's just that most are hella ignoran.

:kanye shrug:

I sound mad harsh in my post but it's what I feel tho. I also hated the fact my homie Jamal from the hood stole shot all the time. He talked about it like a accomplishment.... shyt made me so irritated

i don't think i've ever called anyone a c00n on here before but go fukk yourself, dude. nikkas like you have made me sick since I was a child. I came from nothing...hell...i have nothing but I present myself in what I consider a decent manner. Not to please anybody but my damn self. I get mistaken for middle class motherfukkers like you and it makes me sick. You feel sorry for us? Save it. Talkin about people like they're savages. You have never lived that life so you have no right to judge let alone look down. Furthermore,

c00n.

Born and raised in Northwood projects graduated to juvie then to prison. I love evry nikka from my hood and if I could change how I came up I probably wouldnt. BUT being gangsta aint cool and having to come up in poverty aint either. fukk the struggle i want my kids to never have to worry about anything that ever stressed me. Im glad i had it hard im 100 because of that but my mind set from being raised how i was raised just aint right and ill be the furst to admit it.

Well the hood isn't glorified like it was in the 90s...the burbs hipster and stake culture is the new cool thing

I just hope young blk kids realize that the hood really don't have too b that way. It can b better than the burbs...the ppl have the power

The struggle is beautiful, its like the yin and yang...endure the struggle and it'll reward u...ppl that get things handed to them eventually have to go through a struggle and it eat them alive...these cacs occupy wall street because they know that day is coming and they aren't mentally strong enough to endure inequality

it was never cool to be poor. ever. When I was young, i used to have kids in worse situations try to make me feel bad because i didn't live in the projects...even though my family was still struggling. it's basically contempt for the world. people put on each other personally. people's perception of the hood fukks me up and that's why most of the time i don't even get into it with people (white or black). i enjoy people's perception of me until some shyt pops off and my ghetto side kicks in. There's a time and a place to use street smarts. Most folks be thinking on a lower level, though.

i agree. me and my friends were on some fake proud ignorant yes we're from the ghetto thing, but it sucked ass and we knew it. everyone looked at you as trash, either mistrusting or feeling sorry or looking down on us. lots of drugs abuse, lots of violence, broken families, broken dreams, lots of people who given up on theirselves, concentrated in a small space. but it was not all bad, just more than it should be for kids growing up
