Why does it seem like genius and innovation is respected everywhere but...

[Wild self]

It happens quite often. Alot of young black males especially are burdened with the pressure to appear extra masculine, athletic and "swagged out". Like i said in my very 1st post, this is a subject nobody wants to acknowledge. You can deny this all you want. Its not helping anything

Truth. Even posters in this thread shyt on non stereotypical black people.

@1984 is basically @*L*E*G*A*C*Y part dos, nikkas love a pity party, then when it's not well received they throw a tantrum and bytch.

Edit: I thought this nikka was done with this site

As if this is something new.

Wasn't 50 clowning Nas a decade ago for spending his free time reading books while they were together on tour instead of partying and and "getting bytches"? Weren't people on Hip Hop forums mocking Nas when his brother said in some documentary that he used to make his own comic books when he was a kid? Weren't the majority of attacks throughout Nas' career basically that he wasn't "street" enough?

Which is better, being a creative genius or selling drugs and killing people? For every Nas in the world there are 10 thousand Jungles.

Even in the Stillmatic/ God Son era, people shyt on Nas for being a grown man and being "preachy" with black power and knowledge of self.

The hood and the street is where black folks creative impulses originate. Consider how black dialect keeps American English dynamic. Much of what constitutes American culture (her largest export) comes from black folks in the hood and on the street

I dont disagree. I'm just saying it is a bad thing. You don't want your most creative minds living up in places where you're just as likely to be murdered. Good for swag culture but not prosperity.

everybody giving the "i didn't have this experience" bullshyt i'm giving the did you go to MAJORITY black schools or ALL black schools?

i went to a ghetto ass 98% black high school with all the usual symptoms - teen pregnancy everywhere, low attendance rates, gang banging classmates getting locked up and killed every other week - almost everybody finished with a GED etc etc..

it was so bad that the teachers just gave up...they let people smoke and gamble in some classes, it was crazy.

so that "NERD" shyt didn't fly...i'm not just talking about getting good grades. i'm talking:

^^^ that type shyt didn't fly. if you were a super nerd that was all into film, art, culture, education, reading and shyt?

you would've gotten roasted into oblivion.

and even for whatever reason you're trying to turn this into a "this just a few nikkas" type thing then explain this (these are all articles form 2014 BTW):

Why limit ourselves? There are plenty of black folk that ain't ignorant or from The hood or broke, but get shytted on for having a functional family unit. Stop limiting black folk on an income or thinking level.

But you shytting on the hood as if functional moral people don't live there

 

[LadySimone]

First of all...anybody who knows me...whether on here...or in real life..knows im far from a c00n..
.

Ya know what? After this thread im just gonna have to disappear from this forum once again...

I'm not talking about you but the responses. Smug and arrogant

Most black chicks would say Neil tyson is a corny nikka and let random loser smash em raw.

But you shytting on the hood as if functional moral people don't live there

But the functional, rational minded people who live in the hood like a Lupe Fiasco or a Kendrick Lamar don't get as much respect as a Lil Booster or a Gucci Mane. That's a problem.

 

[CrimsonTider]

Umm....how do i respond to this?

Do you see me bashing black people? Do you see me resorting to broad stokes of a brush to describe black people? No. Just that the thread and it's subjects at hand refer to black people. And while i know and am very well aware that there are many of us that are cultured, intelligent, creative, etc ( i have worked with such people pleasurably) i am very well aware that talents outside of athletics and entertainment dont get the necessary praise it should from fellow black folks.

Which is the issue. How does it feel to get props for something from other races but not your own? Ive been there...its hurts.

Everything about a minority group is marginalized especially there accomplishments... We don't need a thread on that.

This threads main point is to shyt on black peoples because you c00ns think other blacks don't appreciate black peoples successes

 

[Data-Hawk]

we as a community need to start big upping this man

As a beacon of black male(man) intellectualism. While at the same time maintaining culturally appropriate black swag.

Hes the goat "i can make science look cool" public figure

Yup. If I wasn't on my phone, I would post pictures of when he was younger... Lol

nikka

nikka is that all you got from that? getting "made fun of?"

nikka at my high school if you weren't about the streets, hoes, weed, sports etc etc..stay to yourself or pretend you're into that shyt.

like I SAID ABOVE, if you were into CULTURE. ART. FILM. keep that shyt to yourself.

shyts deeper than "getting clowned", they weren't having that rise above the ghetto shyt...

now, if you cats went to BAYSIDE HIGH, that's another story, but my high school was deep in the heart of the fukking ghetto, i've NEVER seen or heard of anybody cheering nikkas on for being nerds or doing great scholarly shyt..I'm even inclined to say that shyt is a bold faced lie.
