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

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. :comeon:

Yeah, sad shyt that it still going down like that.

I went to a majority black high school, were they bussed in kids from surrounding harsher areas (along with people on section 8) and outside of the usual teasing, it was nothing that was like being tarred and feathered you're making it out to be.

Even IN those same circles of black kids into anime, skateboarding, rock, theater, people joked on each other. Even in the goddamn Honors and AP classes kids teased each other. Because they're KIDS. Children, especially teenagers, are petty short-sighted, immature ass people. To act like this occurs greatly/only within black people is extremely disingenuous.

Maybe if you had some courage back then, to like and accept who you are, maybe even humble yourself, you still wouldn't be bottled with rage about shyt that happened when you were 16.

:whoa: i see you drowning in your emotions over there bruh, let me clarify some stuff for you

1) we went to different high schools, plus i went to high school in the late 90's if you went ot high school last decade it may be different
2) where did you get that i'm filled with rage? nikka i didn't get bullied or anything and I'm still friends with people from high school to this day, we all grew up together from when we were kids:mjlol:. your dumbass needs to just read what people type and quit trying to create little movies and shyt in your head....

3) you are obsessed with this "TEASING" shyt. those articles (which you refuse to acknowledge :sas1:) don't talk about just teasing, they're talking about the CULTURE or not picking up books and learning shyt AT ALL which is what i'm talking about and what this post is about...

again, if you went to school with zack, screech, and AC slater then fine - but most of the dudes i went to school with went to prison, dead, or still in the streets, just how it was fam. it's just a different culture

It's funny how you just debunked your own anecdotal evidence within your post.

Also funny how you bring up stapled white characters as if to dismiss the fact I went to a majority black school. Very telling of your person.

:mjlol: i went to an ALL black school my dude. we had ONE white cat in my graduating class and a few white underclassmen behind me...that was it. no hispanics, no indians, no asian-americans.

and why are you ignoring those articles I posted? the thread we're in is asking why do we shyt on our innovators and genius's? those articles are very relevant to the discussion...

Oh, so now we're nitpicking? Ok, that totally makes my statements invalid, since you're setting these guidelines in regards to discussion.

Funny how you keep relying on said articles which basically says: I can't articulate fukk all on a topic, so here's some people who can.

Also, where is this notion coming from that just because someone is a "genius" or innovator that they deserve unanimous gratitude and approval by default?

you're overthinking your arguments now...people post links to articles to support their stances

i posted those links not for you, but for people suggesting that the OP's argument and people co-signing were in the minority...the articles featured by national outlets proves otherwise whether you choose to read them or not.

and if you personally want to pat a genius or innovator on the back or not is up to you. the argument was and still is, that culturally we don't put our innovators and genius anywhere - perfect example is that most black people are just now learning who Ben Carson is, even though i've seen him in Jet/Ebony Magazine so many times in my life it's not even funny...

but to most of us he's a nobody. think about it...how many prominent african americans do you know that's not a public figure? middle easterners know who their innovators are, silicon valley is filled with rock stars outside of the black community, but to us they're just "nerd ass mufukkas"

just keep it real, who are you trying to be PC for on the internet? we don't know you bruh.

Where is this notion that I'm trying to be politically correct?

And I never denied the fact that intelligence or education isn't lacking in support , but to make it like it's solely a black thing, collective, is extremely dishonest.

I just give up on this forum. As well received as ive been on here i dont fit in anywhere here. I'm grew up outside of the typical black experience and basically feel like ive been shunned and outcasted completely. Even at the age of 31.

Its just time to say peace and let this account go. I came here to be around like minded black folks and say whats up and try to make peace and spread goodwill ofcourse someone like myself cant do that without being called a c00n and uncle tom. Im never going to post here or on any other black website or forum ever again. Same hivemind and groupthink. Its sad.

:bryan: Be this clueless at 31.....:deadmanny:

nah it's not.

being nerdy and goofy looking has always been something that got clowned (it's starting to be different now though) but that's sociology.

dressing, acting, and looking goofy and nerdy is one thing - laughing at and poking fun at someone just because they KNOW shyt is pretty much exclusive to the black community - i've read that it's like this among latino's but i don't know any of them so i'm not sure on that.

there's a huge difference there.

Because if you build a brand on representing yourself as one thing and it's later determined that you're another thing, it's not good for business.

Rick Ross wasn't exposed because he had a job and people were mad about it, it was because of his fantastical coke raps that weren't rooted in reality.


I agree. But what I am getting at is what type of environment is he functioning in that made it necessary to even be lying in the first place?

Generalizing is necessary, but it is a bytch - no, not all black people shun genius and innovation, but too large of a section does.

imo

When does Rick Ross ever pretend to be stupid? Have you heard Black Dollar? Mastermind?


I can't tell you that Ross saying he was a drug dealer instead of a co was him pretending to be stupid because I know a few very smart drug dealers.

Outside of the occasional party, I never really followed Ross. Ignored him after that CO shyt. :manny:
