So why are hood black people seen as blacker than all others?

[Neuromancer]

I don't get it. It's as if the purest form of blackness is poverty and possibly violence. And if you're not from that you're less than. It makes me think that there is an inferiority complex at play..


Also I don't are if I'm called a c00n. If you have contributed to the destruction of your own people you're more of a c00n.

I call hood nikkas a lot of things, pure is not one of them.

 

[DrX]

hood nikkas are actually some of the biggest c00ns there are...they be the main ones that turn to carlton banks in a job interview or when the cops roll up...

everybody is full of shyt in this world, hood nikkas included, everybody is playing a role, everybody

 

[TEH]

c00ns can come from any level of income ... and to answer your question ... the idea that poverty is more authentic is not exclusive to us ...

Because to survive and grew up/be from the hood means there's a level of survival tactics you have and you're fearless to an extent.

Blacks pride being tough/strong/survival.
Resilience. Being able to live through out all the obstacles and sometimes overcome being from the hood/obtaining wealth or fame coming from the trenches.

Because deep down people have internalized blackness as representing poverty but at the same time alot of our culture in america comes from that state so anything that doesn't remind another black person of that experience seems foreign and non-black

 

[DrX]

really hood nikkas are tools of white supremacy...they love white daddy...they hate pro blackness, black upliftment and kill blacks....they're seen as the leaders...the hustlers, killers, pimps are seen as the leaders, and theyre the biggest tools of the white man....u think that nikka fat ass rick ross care about kids in the prison system? naw , as long as he gets money, p*ssy and a bowl of greasy ass chicken wings every night, hes happy....and hes the guy the kids aspire to be

Peep how some folks turn their misfortunes into a pissing contest, "Black" and "Poor" are synonyms to a lot of people hence why you have dudes thinking they're blacker and can relate more to the Black experience than some bourgeois Black man cause they didn't grow up rich.

Reminds me of that episode of fresh prince where carlton is refused admission in the black frat even though he did everything right cause he wasnt black enough. Bashed for being successful. Look at that other middle class thread. Nothing but Pure stupidity

yea its one thing to be in poverty... but its a whole nother thing to glorify it...

thats another thing that got passed down to us by the baby boomers

cause we wasnt glorifying poverty before the 50s and 60s.. not like this

we didnt have children n not have a community for them to contribute to when they grew up..

we didnt do hard drugs like that or murder each other over bullshyt

just peep how homicide rate went thru the ROOF in the 60s...

its been slowly coming back down to normal in the 2000s..

we gotta recognize its gonna take us at least 5 generations to undo the damage they did...

if u a millenial then ur only 2 generations removed from the beast..

I believe it's because they feel they've probably struggled more than a black person who was raised in the middle or upper class who potentially could've struggled just as much them just to a different degree.

A combination of internalized hatred and a Backwards mentality some blacks have. We are the only group that bashes you for being successful. Look at that other middle class thread. Nothing but Pure stupidity

I see this statement come up a lot but I don't think that's the case, it's just how media or social media would make it seem. Like the coli for example would have you think this is a thing as much as they'd make you think that blacks have to slap their girl to assert dominance or make over 100k a year to keep her around lol

But now we're saying you're more or less of something because of what you were born into.
