It was something of a family affair, but some brothers girlfriends brothers wife's sister type shyt.

At least half old heads like myself, but about couple dozen young adults.

It just hit me right now several hours later that I was seriously in the lion's den.

House parties are where shyt pops off on the reg.

Any you Brehs go to hood house parties? I didn't have any problems. Are house parties unfairly stigmatized? Was it dumb of me?

My mama goes to church in the hood. Mostly old heads like herself, but about a couple dozen young adults.

It must be so sad and lonely to be distinctly seperate from your own people..

Like I don’t even know how I would function if I didn’t have any connection to the Black community.

I would be like a blank slate, devoid of anything that makes me...me. And I no longer live in the hood and work with 70% whites.

This thread is weird but 40%+ of this site feels that way and wouldn’t say aloud.

I hope things can change one day or idk man, I really feel sometimes like me and the generation directly behind me might be the last Blacks ever in America. Like I really feel that way when I see these threads.

Are our days numbered?

Like what really and truly happens if threads like this represent 30-50% of our community in a few decades??

Im down for the struggle and fight it daily but…idk sometimes I just wonder if I’m not wasting time

If I see sagging skinny jeans and drill music is playing, im out.

Other than that, the VAST MAJORITY of people in the hood are just regular people trying to get by like everyone else.

Unfortunately, "the hood" has been demonized to the point where the good folk are lumped in with the bad apples. Everybody in "the hood" is a shooter , drugdealer and gangbanger according to rap music.

Don't be naive tho, yes keep ya head on a swivel but as long as you're linking with like-minded people you should be good.
