Whats considered Nerdy in the black community? Cuz I don't fukking know

[TL15]

Isn't that just all people?
Or at least at school when you would see people ridiculed for that it wasn't just black people (though there were black bullies) it was white people, and mexicans, and asians etc.
What makes the mentality different with black people?
Or am I just misunderstanding your post?

Well I was mainly just trying to bring black examples up to speak to the thread. I don't, however, think that all people have the same crab in a barrel mentality that we do. I think whites overall are more willing to help/defend other whites than blacks, we tend to be more judgmental of our own than other cultures (just from my observation overall. I know many of us are very supportive). When I look at stereotypes of Asian Americans, it is not "corny" to be smart/intelligent/hard working etc. Whereas in our community there are large pockets of people where those traits make you a "lame"

To speak to your point about bullies, kids are dumb. I was more talking about adults than high school, etc. Even in high school though, in our culture we have "roasting sessions" and things like that where the whole purpose is to belittle each other. Not saying I didn't do it, but it seems more engrained in blacks than other races.

But do you like hoodrats tho?

Just to fukk.

But I also turn off some "real" black women because I'm light skinned and think that I'm on that sellout bullshyt.

Seriously

They think that I'm on some #newblack nonsense because I'm light skinned. A black breh that is 6 feet tall is 'average' and I ain't on that super swag bullshyt.

They said I changed after college lol

I don't think being a nerd automatically means that someone is socially awkward. There are nerds who have good social skills. A nerd to me is someone who is interested in things that someone would not expect someone to be into. It's about stereotyping. A young black person who's into things like video games, anime, science etc.. could be considered a nerd.

Someone who stays inside a lot and doesn't care about social interaction can be considered a nerd.
Someone who doesn't care much about their appearance and looking cool or always cares about dressing neatly could be considered a nerd. The ranges vary because of how quick some are to judge.

Sad a lot of black folk hate their own due to "lower" social skill

Nerdy in the black community = regular person in every other community

The black people are the only people who have swag

Every other people are inherently corny.

Blacks are literally selling swag and its a multi billion dollar industry in itself.



It's a dimension we have that no other race does, I see it as a positive

We know this but the thread is asking what is nerdy to the black community and sadly, it is being socially awkward or having no swag. I'm into anime, video games, etc. but I also like to go out, party, and love fashion so when people hear me say something like "I can't wait to go to C2E2" they hit me with the "" cuz they think nerds are supposed to be socially awkward, weird dressing, depressed loners with little to no social life outside of anime, video games, etc.

That's because those activities are usually done by those who are socially awkward (due to their little to no outside social interaction).


There's plenty of brehs into science or video games. But if you can carry yourself with a bit of charisma in a social gathering, you're getting p*ssy regardless of how many hours you played COD last night.

I mean I'm not going to put my own women in competition with the women of other races. That's corny and kinda c00nish

Get mad at black women because you're a dorky donkey-laughing lame brehs.

Spoiler

im not saying you I'm just saying, being swagless is a valid complaint. You ever met a doofy female?

Breh I have plenty of swag and will definitely end up wifing an ebony goddess.

Just sayin, the definition of nerd in the black community is laughable.
