Is it wrong to be proud to be from the HOOD?

[LA Fisher]

@The Don can you answer this please?

Plain and simple the hood is not the place to be and if you're there you should be working to get up outta there. What positives are in the hood....riddle me that

I don't think there is anything wrong with being proud of where you come from even if it's the hood; however, there is an issue if you are proud of being complacent and stuck there.

If the hood was a mostly black neighborhood then why wouldn't a young black man wanna stay around and be of use to his people?

It's not wrong to be proud of your hood. It's wrong if that pride causes you to kill other black males from other hoods

I see people who are proud to be from trailer parks. Why can't folks be proud of the"hood". A lot of hard working people in the hood.

Black people have been conditioned to hate everything about ourselves in this country.
Whether its our neighborhood, looks, hair etc..
Can't be proud to be from the hood.
Our natural hair is nappy and ugly and needs to be cut or straightened to look presentable.
Big butts are ugly, flat asses are beauty.
Big lips make you look dumb.
Dark skin is unnattractive, need to bleach your skin to appeal to the masses or be pretty.
Rap isnt real music, its just a bunch of thugs sayin "yo yo bytch" or "i fuccced ur mama" on a loud beat

It depends on the type of hood. The hood I grew up in was predominantly black, people owned their homes…it simply wasn't the best neighborhood in town.

However, if you're talking about public housing…that's suppose to be temporary.

I see a lot of black people shyt on hiphop when they wanna appeal to cacs.

 

[Maddmike]

Because only cacs can be proud of where they are from. They demonize our places of birth, leaders, culture, women, and of course us.
