Why are wealthy / surburban black people seen as LESS black?

[Unknown Poster]

I grew up rich as the product of black immigrants (African & West Indian), had all of my education and college paid for, and I'm struggling as an adult been unemployed for long periods of time, discriminated against for jobs and housing, profiled by police, and been called a c00n, uncle tom, house nikka, oreo, etc....cause of a background I couldn't control.

at the age of 32 I'm surprised I haven't offed myself due to all the bullshyt everybody has thrown my way from racists to my own people.

-hood nikka

The media appropriation tactics involved changing the definition of the hood to mean something different than it actually is. So that people who couldn't truly relate could say that they were from the hood, or were "hood" in behavior.

Folk associate criminal activity with hood via racism. Meaning, it's a racist code-speak meant to label blacks as less than human. Being from the hood is simply environmental, and nothing else. The original term came from the south, which simply meant "white folks live there...and we live here".

The only requirements for a real hood is the demographic and nothing else. Both media hubs of the U.S (NY, California) are melting pots. Therefore, they changed the definition of the hood so they could fit in once the hood became a trendy subject.

We allow ourselves to be defined by our sub-culture because white supremacy characterizes whiteness as being wealthy, prosperous, and educated.
Of course the opposite of this is blackness- poverty, uneducated, hopeless.

All of which is utter bullshyt because historically we placed such a huge emphasis on learning that our ancestors died for it, and all blk towns like Blk Wall Street, Tulsa, Oklahoma and many other thriving black towns that were viciously and jealously attacked by whites in America is proof of how we've been turned from our legacy.

I'm genuinely confused. Don't know what your talking about half the way, but I'll bite.

Black people do live in the suburbs. California is proof of that. However, the majority of blacks do live in the hood. Economics and statistics (crime) have nothing to do with it. The only thing that matters is the demographics of said area.

don't get me wrong though after Micah Johnson and Gavin Long martyring themselves for their people/rebelling against the system i'm sure their are woke suburbanite and well off blacks just most likely fewer and farther between than usual

Y'all read this post again and let it really sink in. Again, this mentality is REAL and goes all the way back to the slave days when "educated" or "well-spoken" blacks were often accused of being "sellouts" and "uncle toms" BY OTHER SLAVES. As you can see, this mentality still exists today.

Educated blacks had no issue with Uncle Tom's Cabin when it first came out, because they were fighting against slavery and the book was one of the first that showed how jacked up slavery was, unless Frederick Douglass is considered a c00n now? It went from being hated by white Southern racist during the time of slavery to black Northerner in the 20th century. It didn't get a negative connotation forreal until James Baldwin came along saying Uncle Tom was "emasculated" among other thing and others followed suit. Truth is, I never understood how Uncle Tom ended up being used the way it is when:

-Uncle Tom was an upright man who was loved by the slave and didn't portray himself as better than anyone
-He was killed because he didn't snitch on a runaway

It is what it is.

like who

people that i know in my personal life,

the fact you think a black man can only be succesful if a white man allows him to be is pretty insane breh. your mentality has been corrupted.

 

[Beck.er.]

never understood this, to the point surburban is used against black people as if its an insult

The people who do this have a shyt definition of blackness.

along with a limited scope of black American diversity and deep ignorance of AA history.
