Should the blacc community stop using "suburb nikka" as an insult?

[DPresidential]

nikka, stop.

No need for the face.

LAWD...

HARSH GAME OUT HERE FOLKS...move to another type of neighborhood and the hard Rs come out.
I've actually heard old hood black folks act like this too but they're the ones that left the deep country south for the city a long time ago.

Keeping up with the Joneses kinda took his soul. We did live in East Flatbush in the 90s so I don't blame him, but he let it get all the way to his head.

We need more quality black suburbs.

Fixed.

Many of the “black burbs” are turning into cess pools as gentrification increases and old, and white suburb inhabitants become more transient, choosing to rent or sell to capitalize on a hot market.

As a surburbreh (in the south) in a white neighborhood I'd say most of this is legitimately made up from hood brehs fear of being looked down on by people with more money/more fortunate situation.. I don't really know the type of dude that you mention but I know they exist because I've ran into them on the police force

What I know is...

Hood brehs stay comparing us to white people because we grew up safer /more privileged or whatever. c00n =/= suburban

Problem with that is we're still not white...
but really the problem is guys worring about what other people do that have nothing to do with them



and that they have to separate themselves from any group of people who have a different perspective than they do, even their own race



But just because people have a different perspective doesn't mean they can't have something to offer. We still came from the same slaveships nikka.




Who doesn't


The fact that is important enough to you is simple things like are responsible for cutting people off who otherwise have a lot to offer

I actually like the black valley girl accent btw. It's cute to me

I used to fukk a lot of those black valley girls, they're just like white jawns to me, the mixed ones are the worst and ultra weird minded. They sure like to pay for things tho... don't know if it's like that now.
I haven't been single for a long time. I'm also speaking on a different era, as I'm sure gentrification has changed dynamics around quite a bit.
Either way, I notice the nikkas reflecting sentiment on here the most grew up in those spaces...and LOL at homie who talked about "walking to get groceries/loudness".
Breh, there are nice, quiet black neighborhoods with minimal noise, hella space, and everything you desire in most cities...

@BmoreGorilla funny thing is Maryland has the most rich black people and there's old black money in Bmore, Philly, and DC...they ain't worried about or studying some HoCo/MoCo type individual, because those people could live with black folks in a black area on the same/higher level and CHOOSE not to.
I'm in a neighborhood with hella black people in a country that's 2% black.
What's their real reasoning and source of "pride"?
My wealthy cousins from DC have DC accents...and there are "black valley girls" our age living that waitress life. These are not outliers.

Well respected correction

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

I can't help but fathom why we are the only race(im 12.5% white so not me) who does this then get mad when suburb nikkas(Michael Jordan, Kobe) don't speak or care about inner city blacc issues

its not that they don't speak on the issues. its more about the c00nish chit that they've said instead.

and then when the kitchen gets too hot, they'll turn around and pump-fake for image purposes, like theyre some black ambassadors.

and why is kobe getting these special sitdowns speaking on black issues all of a sudden?? hes had 2 already this month. i'd imagine that theres already a backlash for this?? and if so, is that what inspired this thread??

I'm from the city. Did 12 years in the Army and moved back home. Love being around my people I grew up around but schools had fallen off due to more money being geared toward charter and private schools. Found a good school in the burbs and the area is 85% black. shyt had me smiling from ear to ear. Still go back to the hood almost every weekend to chop it up with my folks and that good Sunday cooking.

 

[BmoreGorilla]

Ok, that's great. I'm just saying different people have different tastes in living environment. I didn't mean to associate inner city with rundown, but I prefer a single family home, with a decent amount of space between the neighbor's home, large backyard, and a downtown area with all the businesses, not living right next to the barbershop, or the restaurant, or the the auto mechanic. I want my quiet domestic life, not filled with customers and folks talking and shyt outiside my door. I like getting into the car, and driving to the supermarket, not walking, and carrying bags ten blocks. I want more suburban areas which are predominantly black, so any kids I have can be around their own people, support black businesses, and we can vote to get our own people in local office.

So I am 100% on board with black people not running to white neighborhoods when we get money, but it's not always about living around the white folks, it's about a certain living structure. I'm not into the city life.

I feel you but I live in the city and still have to drive to do most things. I mean I can walk down the block if I want some weed or liquor or something but I have to drive to do most things. Idk what city your from but Baltimore has plenty of black neighborhoods like Forest Park with big single family homes and yards. My neighborhood is a decent middle class neighborhood. It has its share of fukkery but what neighborhood doesn’t? Thing is the suburbs weren’t designed for us. They were built strictly to accomodate white veterans from WW2. There’s some old historically black neighborhoods here in the burbs but when they were established after slavery it wasn’t even the burbs yet it was still the country. I guess there’s just a difference coming from a mostly black city of this size. There’s a diversity of black people in the city that most cities don’t have

 

[CrushedGroove]

Inner city property is like a gold mine right now. They trying to force people from 3rd Ward to move out the small little area that hasn't been gentrified but there's been a coalition started to keep the neighborhood together. A lot of culture from Houston was born from the wards. I'm sure the same can be said for most cities. I love living where I live but I also love where I'm from.

Yup. For black peole this area is very diverse economically. If you’re a black person with money who doesn’t live around black with money it’s becuz you actively chose not too. The could’ve copped that $400,000 house in Randallstown instead of Hunt Valley but living around whites is more appealing. These are the type brehs that are a problem

The area you moved to is cool...now if it was inaccessible and around 90% white...and you bragged about it.
Then it would be a problem...that's who most of us are speaking on.
Somebody brought up a neighborhood with good space and houses, and I lived in a black neighborhood like that...IN THE CITY. Grew up in one.

AS a suburb nikka

the biggest difference I see between suburb and hood nikkas is how quickly a hood nikka is to start hating on somebody else

From that perspective, your post makes total sense

I don't know what you mean by the social issues thing, but it's rarely people in the hood making changes out here, so I don't know where else it could be coming from. Other than white people.

You’re right about the hating thing, i came from a 2 parent dual income home, but a lot didn’t. So they’re definitely gonna hate on “bel-air” black folks.

And what I mean by social issues is that most of us see both sides where people on the outside looking in see just the “oppression” side

I’ll catch hell for saying this but y’all suburb cats don’t see the real shyt - classmates murdered before graduation over nothing, dead bodies in the alley, prostitution, crack dealers being treated like kings; and not a white face in sight.

I’m not a fan of Kevin gates but he was spot on here:
