You have to define suburb .

A dude choosing the street life when he’s from Harper Woods or Highland park isn’t going to be called corny .

A dude choosing the street life when he was raised in Gross Pointe will.All are minutes away from Detroit

Some suburbs have bad conditions just like major cities do .

All that shyt is wack and deleterious to the community. People judge suburban kids more harshly because of common misconception that these hood dudes didn't have a choice or they are faking or the really stupid misconception that hood dudes are realer or tougher just because they are from the hood. It's soft dudes in every hood. It's dudes that come from good families in the hood. It's dudes that come from fukked up situations in the burbs. But again, it's all wack and all problematic and we need to stop celebrating this bullshyt with anyone regardless of where they are from.

More often than not, people are shaped by their environments. Although it is not always the case, as there are millions of examples of the opposite, the odds would suggest that a kid growing up in the hood would be more exposed to a life in the streets than they would be to witnessing certain activities in their neighborhood.

A kid growing up in suburbia likely wouldn't be exposed to such circumstances, so the pre-assumption is that they wouldn't fall into a life of crime Yet, history has shown that plenty of kids who grew up in suburbia with middle-class and/or wealthy backgrounds grew up to be adult criminals (white collar, blue collar, murderers, serial rapists, etc), committing some of the worst crimes society has ever seen.

Shyt, our current President, Donald Trump is an example of this. Grew up in wealth the moment he was out of the womb, but fast forward 5-6 decades later, and he got more felonies than anybody in the hood. Sure, he's President, but remove that title from his resume, by definition, he's nothing but a sheisty criminal, a convicted felon, to be exact. His upbringing didn't prevent that, so there's a lot more to it than someone's environment for why they may or may not engage in a life of crime.

Again, I feel like people who never lived in the hood a day in their life have an exaggerated and somewhat comical idea of what people are like and what actually goes on within, basically, they think it's just like what they see in TV shows, movies, music videos, or YouTube, etc, truth be told, most “hoods” are not violent, filled with criminals running around left and right, drugs, everywhere, etc, etc.

For example, Ice Cube touched on this perspective when he created Friday, partly because he wanted to change the perception that the hood was nothing but crime, gangs, and drugs, but rather just decent people living, laughing, and having a good time amongst themselves. It's not all misery and gloom.

Some of these suburbs be a less than 10 minute drive from the hood which is a big reason why I disagree. I also think if you live in the hood in a major city that no opportunity excuse they use is bs. A hood nicca in LA/Bay Area/Dallas/ATL/NYC has access to more things than a suburb kid in Missouri


I think its more of the local hood mindset that their parents/environment installed in them since birth that stagnates them no matter what city they’re in.

They can be in LA/ATL/Dallas/NYC but if they were raised by dusty ass hood, lazy, uneducated, wack ass parents who only taught them the local hood destructive mentality then the deck is stacked against them. They may end up on the block until they’re 54 then die of diabeetus if they even make it that long

Most people are products of their environment and victims of their circumstances (as if homelessness, pancreatic diseases, rates for lifelong PTSD aren’t indicative of the same circumstances that make brehs join gangs). If you’re not a fly on the wall in any of these households then who are you to categorize them as “good”. Finances shouldn’t be the metric used to judge how ethical the parenting a child received was. It should be based on their having or absence of healthy coping mechanisms, confidence, social skills, work ethic and emotional intelligence. You can’t account for any of that with money. If your parent or parents have that level of stability in spite of the cauldron of chaos cacs created the hood to be, then more likely than not you don’t see you see them as often as you should because of the need to work, that idle time is where fukkery thrives. Lastly, do you have any stats that show that people who bang tend to come from stable home environments, cause what the fukk is this stupid thread? You should work in a group home or juvenile detention facility, I promise that you don’t know what you’re talking about.​

I come from a great household in the hood, but I was never actively in the street. With that being said, being outside in the hood in general you are going to be around street guys. I had to learn street smarts for survival, and you can become a product of your environment by doing just that.

Because the suburbs is viewed as generally safe. The suburban kid is seen as having a better life.

And because people SEE it this way, they see the suburban kid's actions as wasting their parents' hard work and throwing away opportunities.

Kids in the hood are not seen as having come from good households therefore they have an "excuse" and are not called corny.

I thought that was pretty obviously why.
My coach literally said this shyt to us. I got an exemption cause he been to Shreveport and seen how I grew up. He called us, "Suburban Spoon Fed"

Zay you right. They chose that shyt on purpose. Hell, if you scared of the hood, join a sports team, study harder get good grades. There is never a reason to become a domestic terrorist.

Because people think having money is most dudes motivation for turning to the streets when the primary motivation of most street dudes is never wanting to work for white people.
