Why Are Black Males So Over Confident?

[rapbeats]

What gives us the audacity of having such delusions of grandeur? Why does every rapper think his album is gonna give Thriller a run for it's money?

Spoiler

Why do so many broke and fat n1ggas feel that it's their destiny to only date 10's?


I have a cousin that played 2 months of Jr. college back in '96... And every day until 2012 he swore he was gonna get an invitation to the D-League, get a 10-day contract from an NBA franchise and impress the GM so much that he would sign a multi-milly deal and move all of our family out of the hood...


He finally gave up on his hoop dreams at 35 to become a stand up comedian..Now he calls me all the time saying he's gonna be the next Chris Rock/Eddie Murphy hybrid and promises to pay my kids college tuition one day from his blockbuster spoils..

I can go on and on...Everytime I sit in the barber chair, every cookout, house party, social gathering are littered with n1ggas with the same mentality..And it's not phony confidence.. THEY REALLY BELIEVE IT.. I just sit their trying to hide the look on my face while giving words of encouragement...

My white friends are far more practical (while ironically accomplishing much more) Their most lofty goals are "One day I hope I can pay my mortgage off and get a time share near Orlando"


WTF is wrong with us?



Is this a good or a bad thing?

slavery bruh.
it has warped our mind. pure and simple. we have been the gum on the bottom of whites shoes forever. so the best thing we can hope to do is skip over all the basic stuff in life and become diddy. we dont see regular black folks winning in a small situation like having a good job, paying a mortgage, etc. we see d.dealers, rappers, ball players. the good job dudes are not from the the ghetto they are USUALLY from the burbs. black burbs talk the same stuff white burbs talk, "i hope to one day pay off my mortgage and own a time share in orlando."

hood whites are starting to think like hood blacks as well. WHY? because of eminem and these other new breed white guy/chick rappers.

see a white person's hood discussion would go like such "man, when i get it together, i'm going to work at the mills and make good money, maybe me an my girl can get a house or something"

still on that regular talk. thats because what they use to see is their parents and people that look like them that live where they live, working in those mills/factories ,etc. now that the factories/mills are all but gone. and now that they have eminem and the other white rappers to look up to(they didnt have this before). now they wanna be rappers too.

Its all about who you are raised around and what you see. most of us dont see nothing special in close proximity. so we shoot for the stars(lebron, Ross, etc.)

the curse of the hood being so dangerous and just looking like crap is that you run your few good ones away when they blow up. even if blowing up means they get a decent paying job. they usually move out the hood to get away from the madness. by doing this, they leave no NORMAL blueprint on how to get money realistically (not in some rapper superstar way).

nikka fukk ya lil ignore list lol

You're a rerun. Boring poster. Not even worth me using gifs on.

 

[Jamal514]

Because they are promoted for hypermasculinity, big dikks, and swag. That confidence goes away when the convo goes to employment, education and having money and economic power though.

This nikka going for the jugular

 

[cleanface coney]

lololololol im bout to clock out my good office job and hit the hood

keep ya head up real nikkas

we blowing da loudz over here...good strong pack have ya chest tingling lololol

lame nikkas nikkas be quiet

 

[Sierra Mist]

Why are black men so sensitive? Does it come from being raised by single mothers? Is it because you feel less of a man? is it from a history of having your manhood checked, being called 3/5ths of a man, not owning businesses, not being able to provide your women a cushy lifestyle like white men do for their women, not having economic power in your communities let alone the WORLD, being the only men who rely on another race of men to provide them an education and employment opportunities? Swag is just a method of overcompensation due to not having resources and economic power.

Sorry but swag doesn't pay the bills nor build legacies, generational wealth, communities, and feed your kids.

I mean if nikkas were really doing the damn thing why would they get offended by something I say on here?

 

[Ain't That Something]

How about not telling nikkas a damn thing and let people do what the fukk they want to do.

I don't understand what the fukk this thread is about.

"nikkas are trying to do shyt I dont think they could/should do and I don't know what to do about it"

How bout unlike you I put actions where my mouth is and actually have mentored lil nikkas. How bout unlike you I wanna see my people succeed at more than just athletic and entertainment. How bout unlike you I gibe a damn bout black man and not hoe culture which you support

Def downplaying how young white boys approach life. Don't hear no whites my way aiming as low as just being able to afford a mortgage.

Most young males are ambitious and cocky period regardless of race.

Lol @ a white male with decent looks and personality talkin bout he just wanna settle down in a lower middle class home and be able to pay the bills.

 

[Lavish]

T/S sounding like a CAC more everyday

Def downplaying how young white boys approach life. Don't hear no whites my way aiming as low as just being able to afford a mortgage.

The ones I'm around are concerned with school then pay off debt/find a well paid job then trying to save/buy a house/condo


Honestly, you're a product of your environment. This type of stuff isn't as black and white as we make it.

 

[Tom Foolery]

Nothing wrong with being confident. Now being delusional is a different story.

 

[Will Ross]

outside of coli? not much.(outside of family) i can speak on the attitudes i see on here and in a lot of younger black males in general tho..

We have to be this way Because everyone tells us we ain't shyt.

 

[Malik]

Again breh ain't nobody saying that shyt either.

Hopes and dreams an accomplishment that does not make. What are they doing to actively achieve said hopes and dreams. What step are you putting into place to make it happen.

I can say I wish I was swoll and buff all I want but if my ass stay on the couch and watch T.V. that does not mean I'm gone magically wake up swoll one day. You nikkas done watch to many disney movies. You can wish upon a star all you want but unless there is work, a feasible plan with oulines on how to accomplish your goals you gone wake up 30 something with nothing in ya name blaming all the ills of the world on society and the white man

You got to realize some nikkas not really about nothing. I love my homies but, I had to fall back from them. They are the typical "I want it all but, I dont want to put in work" type cats. Two of my boys (its 6 of us) was still rapping. We was like 22 then. At this point, I was in college and they was still home and I was like, yo......if you really gonna do it, do it. One of my boys was garbage but, the other one had real potential. He sounded like a mash of J. Cole/Drake but, was still his own artist. I sat all five of them down and was like we should all push our boy, on some Dame & Biggs Rocafella shyt. I had a couple thousand stacked to get us going, I knew what it took to get videos on WorldStar/Youtube, how much it cost to get featured on DatPiff, how to design websites. I created a whole business plan in my head for my boy, comparing the early grassroots movement of alot different cats (Mac Miller, Logic, Wiz for example). I could handle the business tip. one of my boys had experience in mixing/mastering and had thousands of dollars in quality sounding studio equipment, my boy's homie actually does music videos for Philly artists (Neef, Peedi Crack and a few others) and another one of my boys produced beats. I told my boy flat out......if you was serious about this rapping thing, Id pour my money into, we'd all get behind him and if the response was good, we'd go from there


I realized he was all talk Til this day he still perfecting the album he's been working on since we were 18. We 24-25 now And the wack one (still my boy tho), he dropped out college and though he dropped a few mixtapes, you can't find none of his shyt anywhere online He tries to sell them on Bandcamp & in the city like a fukkin dweeb I dont have to heart to tell this kid if he was halfway serious about anything, he'd have 100s of songs/videos for free on Youtube, atleast 3-5 mixtapes for free on DatPiff (I mean shyt, its only $400 to be featured on there) and ponied up the $2,000 or so it takes to place a video on WorldStar


I learned in life......alot of people talk about what they want but, they too scared to go after it. I used to be like that too then I woke up one day and realized eventhough I was still in my early 20s, I had the same habit and if I aint break it, I'd end up like that 35 year old dude with regrets. Eventually you got to stop talkin about what you want and start doing it Whatever you want to do in life, start small and keep going

 

[Captain Crunch]

Because dudes are insecure deep down, just look at this forum for example, no matter what the topic you post about like half the nikkas on here break out them to try and top the next man.

Posting this from my billion dollar condo on the beach, get on my level

 

[MikeBrownsJob]

black men everywhere young, old, whatever yo lane is....

when you walk in that room hold yo head high
when you walk in that office hold yo head high

they dont like dat.....

But that's faux confidence. Should measure your success by the amount of haters or the unflattering reactions you get. That's another discussion but your whole post speaks of the parent/child relationship between whites and blacks.

 

[Reality]

1. too many dreamers, not enough schemers
-too many dudes don't take their dreams seriously enough to hustle hard or smart enough about them. too many wanna-be rappers who don't realize how saturated that market is, and how networked and/or diligent they'll have to be to get exposure. only prodigies get put on w/ little to no effort.


2. too many dudes dreaming about the wrong things
-as someone who has friends on Wall Street and who went to a "target" school where banking/PE etc are "in reach" for people, i can tell you that a lot of these waspy white kids have the same mentality as chief keef or two chainz, but w/ a different set of experiences/things they've been exposed to. a lot of our unenlightened, hyper-aggressive thugs never get the chance to meet their highest potential as corporate thugs on Wall Street. there are a number of reasons for this.
