What exactly makes Russell Wilson a “square”?

[93 til]

Who is equating not being a square with being hood?

There are plenty of Black folks that came up above middle class that dont portray the thug life but also have strong black identity and a charismatic personality. seems like your the one with some interesting ideas about what people consider a square to be

You just proved my point

I'm just tryna figure out how is he a square when 99% of guys would switch places with him in a heartbeat

 

[AuntAnniesPretzels]

The older I get the less I care about hip hop/hood culture

Who gives a f*ck what these hoodrat females and their simps think?

You can get ran through by the men you like and squares will stick to women (of any race) who like that

just because your wealthy and nikkas would trade thier lives with you and square shyt and all dont mean you not a square. MFs would also change lives with someone who is HIV positive if they was worth 100 Ms

yall think having money, clout or a woman that look a certain way means you cant simultaneously be a square and im done discussing it

 

[NoirDynosaur]

Life is too short to care about external labels

 

[True Darkseid]

Probably because he smiles a lot.
I smile a lot and brehs always thought of me as a square for it.

Be happy, brehs.

He's doesn't act he's going to be on the 10 o'clock news and he's not wearing a dashiki scamming people for money for a "school"

Nobody called him a “square” before he got with Ciara. And its simply because people saw her thotting it up and acting all “G” with Future while getting her “glamorous” on with Russ.

That ain’t got shyt to do with Russ though. Maybe Ciara was tired of portraying that image once she had a kid and realized Future wasn’t gonna change so she switched it up. So what? People can change.

Um, dude was called a square and corny soon as he stepped on the scene for the hawks. Him and rg3 with their white wives were called all sorts of square, corny, swagless, etc. especially compared to cam and kaep who were on the scene around that time too

 

[Black Steph Curry]

Black community is filled with a lot of bitter, fatherless haters who've been trained to emulate the worst dregs of black society and malign those who're actually positive and constructive members.

Because he doesn’t fit many stereotypes, if you’re outside the box as a black man or woman you’re considered a square

because someone white told someone black that carrying yourself like all black people used to carry themselves up from the 1870s through the 1970s is "acting white". code language for "square"

You don't know how black ppl acted back then so u can shut tht shyt up.

He’s not a square

But since he’s responsible, faithful, honorable and got with a woman with a kid who dated ton of rappers before him he’s a square...

Black people love dysfunction and not function in their lives...

Salute to Russell and fukk them low life crumbs

Here go tha misfits and they projection....

No one gaf if tha retardedly strong 13 year old nikka in tha 5th grade strong armed yo yu gi oh cards from you when you were a kid...

You get no props for making an honest woman out of a ho tht saw you as her 'saving grace' and ran 'I'm saved' game on you.

Even if you are Russell Wilson.


That says more about his lack of self esteem/naivete than anything. He couldn't do his due diligence and make an honest woman out of a woman with a respectable past?

The nikka is a multimillionaire. He can take your chick if he want to bruh.

Means nothing.

Drake can do whatever Russell Wilson can regarding women 2 times over.

Does tht mean he's tha 2nd coming of tha mack?

Or do broke hoes looking for a come up simply tolerate him because of his money and clout?

We see how he does with women on his level ala Rih rih & jorja Smith. (Spoiler: they call him creepy)

It ain't beyond anyone's imagination to envision tht tha caliber of women these two jokers would pull if they had regular money and status would be ordinary af.
They would have to settle for tha pretty hoe turned single mother by a bad boy, and we see russ doing just tht. (since he's famous he gets tha celeb equivalent of tha round tha way hoe in ciara)
But because they have money and fame i guess that's supposed to turn them into somebody tht they're not.

That's why celebrity worship is dangerous.

I'll end my rant with this: you can be as eclectic as you wanna be. Just know your role and have tha self respect/experience to refrain from allowing women of questionable reputation to run game on you and you won't be labeled a sucka like Russell Wilson is.

 

[LurkMoar]

Wifing up a thot is his only mistake, but he recovered well considering his first girl was a hideous cac





And i already know where this thread is trying to go but russ is no different from most religious brothas, probably votes republican too with his square ass.

There’s a lot of White people in here that are using this opportunity to shyt on Black people under the guise of “highlighting a magnetism to ignorance” in the Black community. As you know, you can be clean cut, well spoken, not hood BUT be African American culturally. You can also be all of the above and not be a square. Russell Wilson is all of the above BUT White American culturally and that’s why he gets flack IMO. He says shyt that gives one the impression that he knows absolutely nothing about Black American culture, history or experience. He seems to be forged in the same ecology as a middle class white American and sees life through their lens and not through the lens of a Black person. These are all assumptions and IDGAF but it’s the reason why I don’t want to raise my kids around too many White people. Because your kids may not develop a Black identity which will cause them confusion when they face racism.

 

[Turk]

People been calling Russ a square way before he got with Ciara, hell some of his OWN TEAMMATES questioned this man's blackness

Some of y'all are being willingly oblivious

Reports: Some teammates think QB Russell Wilson isn't black enough

 

[Blankthawtz]

these 2 gentlemen are a great example of love conquering all...

 

[Deuterion]

Here’s two separate videos of Black men speaking proper English and dressed in a manner inoffensive to White America. One of them is deemed corny and the other isn’t...





Starts at 0:55.

It clearly can’t be cuz of vocabulary and dress because once again they both dress and talk inoffensively to mainstream white American culture. The difference is that Malcolm X’s cadence of speech, tone of voice, and content is consistent with a intelligent African American male. Russell Wilson’s cadence of speech, tone of voice, and content is consistent with an intelligent middle class Anglo American, PERIOD.

Black Americans don’t knock him cuz he dresses well and speaks properly or else they would hate Brother Malcolm. They knock him cuz he sounds like his name is Cody and makes the same mistakes Cody would make if trying to venture into Black America...wifing the first sexy Black chick he finds even though she been ran through by the whole block. He don’t know any better, he from the ‘burbs.

Russell isn't a square..

TG3 onthe other hand...

Everything about RG3 scream cornball square..

Brehs just say Russ is a square because he is religious and wifed up a single mom ..

 

[Eternally Jaded]

Russell was called a square cuz he carried himself like a square.

Check the photo below

That nikka looks like he's about to pick up his kids from the boyscouts.

His jeans, his shirt, his shoes.

That was him before Ciara draped him.

This is him after.

Totally different carriage on dude.

There's nothing wrong with someone being a square if that's their truth, but lets not be obtuse n act bewildered about why the nikka was labeled square.

Anyone bringing up baby mama drama, ratchetness and other dysfunction needs to examine why they went there.
