Is this “we are not a monolith” talk code for “I am one of the good ones”?

[Detroit Wave]

Yea u right op. nikkas be lowkey tryna distance themselves from black folk in any way possible

 

[BmoreGorilla]

You got the formula for getting these coli daps


I'll respect it

It ain’t about daps tho. It’s an honest question. For example. This is a hip hop and sports site yet we got people on here who hate both. Like what even attracted them to the site?

 

[George's Dilemma]

I feel you. But when one of the first responses in the thread is to distance themself it’s very telling

What thread are we talking about?

 

[BmoreGorilla]

Is Monolith a nice way to say Stereotype?

Maybe. Maybe not

 

[NoMoreWhiteWoman2020]

It seems like that sometimes. Every time I see someone say that on here its due to them being into some shyt that most black folks ain’t into. Nothing wrong with having certain hobbies or interests. But to me it seems like when they say that they are trying to separate themselves from the rest of us. As if they are above the “typical” black folk shyt

I can’t be the only one

I usually say that shyt when I hear people generalizing about black folks, like black folks dont get depression, black folks dont etc... naw, speak for yourself and stop projecting and speaking for others.

Another pseudo-smart bell hooks sounding ass quote that white people and "woke folks" take out of context.

I was referring to this post

Maybe some of us don't want to be associated with hoodrats and deadbeats, similar to white folks not wanting to be associated with rednecks and white trash


Let's have some standard for ourselves

“Let’s have some standard”

An atmosphere with plentiful black people would be my first guess. There is a lot of complexity to human action and emotion

Yea I get it. We definitely aren’t a monolith but I feel like most posters don’t have the same intentions as you when they say it

Usually means not every black person will get sympathy when xy or z occurs.

What's x y and z? Who knows
I'm goin to guess it's for the under 1 percent of black people who commit serious crimes

Or just means I vote for my wallet....less social programs more take home money.....

Edit

But damn could also mean they aren't on the pro black tip. Pro me tip.

Could be all or a combination

Comes with the territory of being a nerd or nerd adjacent . Meaning that the people who say that have been told by non black folk that they are better in some way, and they stupidly take that shyt to heart.

Little do them nikkas know tho

Let's have some standard for ourselves

But these poor black people are more likely to be victimized by white supremacy and when they are, will you appropriate their pain to feel like a victim from your cushy lifestyle or are you going to be happy that some black trash is gone? I feel like a lot of you like to pick and choose what parts of the black experience you want like you want to be apart of black excellence and you want the pain even if neither applies to you. I have no problem with you separating yourself if you were never with us to begin but don't appropriate their pain and struggles to feel like a victim if you do.

I get that we all have different thoughts and we’re our own individuals. Ain’t nothing wrong that. However we know most people ain’t using it in that context

Then we got threads like this

'Nikka Nerd' Is A Divisive Term AGAINST The Black Community

 

[Standing on business]
