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

[The Don]

Theres plently of positive people in the hood.
Not everyone in the hood acts like O Dog and Chief Keef

I never said there werent positive people in the hood I just asked why would you be brag about being from there

I don't think most people brag about it...but many of us are stuck there for the time being so we just have to accept it

 

[The Don]

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?

Breh you're not making sense

there are black neighborhoods that aint in the HOOD hood.

be real, nikkas only glorify the grimey hoods, and it's not from some being 'this my heritage shyt'. I can see if you look back on it like "that's my story, that's where I started" but that sentiment ain't reality. Most folks just be like "You from [X]? Yall soft, don't shyt pop off around there blah blah blah" and brag about their hood. Let's not act like people don't get clowned from being from not in fukked up places, even if they have lots of black folks. PG county the first place that comes to mind

i go back and forth on pride and shame being from where i am. sometimes i feel like it makes me a superhuman, other times i feel like a total dirt bag. the human condition is a bytch.

Why would you feel like a dirt bag

 

[BelowTheMasonDixon]

It's incredibly stupid.

 

[Falcons258]

If you're from the hood, that means your parents are ain't shyt fukkboys.

Why would you feel like a dirt bag

You get around certain social circles and you feel a way. It's like when Tony soprano went to Cooze's golf club.

some would say being from the hood, becoming sucessful and not coming back is part of the problem
