It's not your fault you can't get Black women, blame your parents. [Black Men]

[Larry Lambo]

Can't co-sign this fukkery.

As a man you have to figure sh*t out. That's what we do. Everything ain't gonna be handed to you on a silver platter.

Some dudes will grow up in a hood environment that "game" will be taught at an early age and they can excel, but education and financial literacy aren't taught.

Some dudes will grow in a middle class environment that education and business savvy is taught, but swagger and "mouthpiece" are not stressed.

A few will grow up in environments that both are taught, and a few will grow up in environments where neither is taught.

Regardless, it doesn't matter. You are in control of your own destiny, and regardless of what is being taught to you, you seek knowledge and learn things on your own.

Damn, ni**as want to be spoonfed sh*t and it don't work like that.

That was my thread lol. People called me all types of names.

smart girl, bet they feel dumb now huh?

...

Um...no the argument is Black men who watch too much White media...will become Whitewashed...and less Black...you attacked Black men's Blackness.

Like your argument is similar to the argument that if straight kids watch gay shyt on TV...they'll turn gay.

LOL you just a dumb motherfukking troll that repeatedly make dumb fukking arguments...

that's what you're taking from the argument and I have no control over that so we'll agree to disagree.

Black people are Black whether they're raised in an all Black environment or if they're adopted into a white family where they're the only Black person present. The difference is that the Black person raised in an all white household will have a more difficult time communicate and connecting with Black people who were raised in a traditional Black environment, it doesn't suggest that the person is "less Black".

This is definitely an American HOOD thing.

Why are the awkward black couples not coupling....that is the question.

Cause awkward people hate themselves, so why would they look for that in a mate?

 

[Neuromancer]

to suggest that because women have an easier time getting sex means there's an imbalance is also suggesting that everyone is entitled to sex equally.

Well men aren't entitled to shyt except death. Isn't that right?

 

[CinnaSlim]

smart girl, bet they feel dumb now huh?

Im just bad at explaining things lol. @Matt504 is so eloquent

 

[AquaCityBoy]

It wouldn't be a day on The Coli without @Matt504 saying some dumb shyt for daps and plat threads.

 

[全能の神]

It definitely counts but I think that just leads to the insecurity they have later on in life. They don't know how to socialize with black people unless it's family. When they get older they realize they are out of touch with their own people

Good point I see what you mean especially knowing a lot of black people like this

it's not difficult, send your child to a predominately white school and if you live in a predominately Black neighborhood, keep your kids inside and let them play videos games and surf the internet.

There's no way to determine how many parents do this without taking a survey.

Ok I see what you're saying now but both black men and women can turn out like that, not just men.

Because in America, the Black middle class and lower class live on top of each other.

 

[BigMan]

this is interesting.

no one, male or female, is entitled to anything, doesn't stop them from believing they are.

1. believing oneself to be inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment.

I agree, I'm just trying to scale back on speaking on behalf of Black women because their voices on their experience should be prioritized.

 

[Poitier]

The more I think about it....schools with sizable black populations across all income demographics is where middle class blacks formatively either learn to attract/repel other black folks.

 

[EndDomination]

Yall acting like black women are some newly discovered species

Just fukking talk to one and if they reject you, move on, its not that deep

It's deeper than that. I've noticed it as well, there are vocal cadences shared by people who grew up in Black communities, especially lower-class Black communities, speech patterns, references, "signifyin" in a specific way.
This has already been noted before in Black academia.
It doesn't mean you can't pull a Black woman as a Black man, it just means there are social constructions that may create a chasm between you two, if you grew up in different environments.
I was in and out, so I have the comfort in both, but you can't pretend it isn't somewhat noticeable.
@Matt504
Good thread concept. 5* dap
