Why do Cali niccas still feel it’s necessary to “warn” people that California is not “just beaches and sunshine “ ?

[BrothaZay]

Why is this their whole identity?

People from Texas don’t feel the need to warn ppl, it’s not cowboy boots and rodeos

New Orleans niccas don’t need to warn ppl it’s not just Mardi Gras and ponks

But LA especially feel the need to “warn” ppl that California has hoods and dangerous places. It’s corny and disingenuous, literally nobody who grew up in America thinks Cali is safe lmao

Nggas want you to hit the when you tell them where you're from on some instant fear and respect shyt.

"That ngga survived THERE?!?! I should listen to whatever he say cause he probably tough as hell!" Is what they imagine you'll react like when they say where they come from.

or when they move/visit another state and they remind you where they're from like 'im from east (insert city), we don't play that shyt'

Because dudes in the east coast always question how tough LA is because it “looks nice” so in response we let nikkas know it ain’t just that.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

A lot of people actually take pride in having a dangerous city rep like it's a point system. Like it doesn't factor in how they have to live. It's not a friendly warning it's really a brag

 

[O.T.I.S.]

This only applies to black men too…


No other race care about this shyt
