Black ppl do NOT clown other blk ppl for getting good grades or having a clean record. Let’s stop this myth

[Kasgoinjail]

I was praised by black peers and family for being a high achiever in school.

I remember being at my homie crib getting drunk/high playing cards video games way back and it’s 8-10 dudes over there

nikkas started their cook county jail stories about fighting co’s and other gangs etc and takin food and sneaking contraband in.I was silent(cuz I’ve never been to jail) and them nikkas were like you never been locked up? tryin to glorify being incarcerated

Lol @ bragging about that shyt

And people think that you are "soft" for never engaging in that lifestyle.

Im talking about the Wack 100/ Maino type dudes who still think it's 1993 and you had to earn stripes through irrational struggle.

Their Generation, which is Gen X, that was normal way of thinking a few decades ago. A lot of them never grew out of that era and are traumatized of those events, similar to Vietnam War Veterans.

yes but thats only because "sounding educated" is the same as "sounding white" to dumb people.

No it is not. Hell, white people clown you for “sounding white”. They’re not clowning you for communicating well but for speaking like a stiff along with the inflection of your voice.

You dudes are revealing more about yourselves in this thread

Exactly… most black adults and young people don’t care about what Maino, Wack, and Jim Jones thinks when it comes to serious topics or culture in general

why are you going to extremes breh, this is a discussion lol

anyway to answer your question, in high school I saw plenty of Black kids not apply themselves academically to fit in. On God.

I also saw too many Black people get roasted for their clothes going all the way back to elementary school, even though not everyone can afford to wear daily name brands

I've seen Black males and females my whole life get told they "talk white" simply for being articulate

so there u go breh

The clothes and the "talking white" shyt is true, that definitely happens

Being clowned for being smart and getting good grades not so much And I say this as someone who was bullied heavily until high school. It was mostly about me being passive, soft-spoken and shy in a rough neighborhood

I’m in New Orleans bro. I’m telling you how it was in the 90s early 2000s. Again it’s not like that no more.

You had to play dumb. Girls as early at 6-7 grade wanted nikkaz wit money and if you was to smart.

“Look at this lame ass nikka, always the first one turning in his homework” ect.

I didn’t get clown or didn’t clown people. I was doing lil shyt in the streets so I had a lil money and my parents brought be nice clothes,

But yea I knew plenty of dudes who would dumb them selves down in order not to get clowned and shyt on

NY was worse back in the 90s and early 00s when everyone wanted to be the 4th member of the LOX. Cats literally getting locked up, in handcuffs with a smile on their faces, knowing that the hoes will be on them and the "real nikkas" will give them props. Mental slavery on a whole nother level. It literally didn't calm down until after 2004.

Cats made it a whole priority to cop bootleg CDs of upcoming albums and memorize it word to word, to have the edge on everyone else

In New Orleans people did when we grew up. Dudes would act dumber to fit in.

They figure they would be accepted and like more by those around them. Worrying about what others (on a lesser level) may think of them. Cheating themselves to make others feel more comfortable. Truth is, they STILL won't like you regardless.

The lions don't care about the opinions of the sheep. Take pride in the so-called arrogance.

 

[WesCrook]

I agree with this, I went to school in the inner city for at least half of my grade school years and I do feel that this is largely a myth.


I was always praised for being smart and on the straight and narrow. If anything I feel like it attracted the hood chicks cuz it was refreshing to them that I wasn't on that time most nikkas was on. Even to this day when I go back to the area these females be eyeing like crazy, I never struggled attracting hood chicks as a smart, square dude.

A lot of women like to be enlightened.

Cheat code to attracting women, when it's your turn to talk, flex your intellect on something that you are very knowledgeable about. Whether it's your profession or something that interests you and her (no sports).

Her:

This is definitely one of the biggest lies I’ve ever heard. Socially awkward dweebs get teased across every ethnic group but smart people that get good grades are usually among the most popular people. My boy is a pharmacist, always got good grades, didn’t get into trouble, and he was the HC King.

I was a hell raiser that got horrible grades in the 9th and 10th grade and people avoided me. That was the case for most of the guys that I ran with at that time too. When I got my act together, the chicks start gravitating towards me, I made more friends, and the coaches encouraged me to play sports.

Most black kids regardless of background had the mutual understanding that we didn't wanna bring no bad report cards home because we had parents that would embarrass us and come to the school and whoop our ass. But maybe it's just me

Also it's competitive in school sometimes. When teachers would hand you back your graded tests, nikkas would go around and be asking what grade you got and try to see if they got a higher score than you. Ain't nothing like when you had the highest score, be sitting like in class

Ironically this when the dumb nikkas that failed got made fun of

Yes they do, especially towards black men. If you don’t fit a certain image within the community than people will mock you, called you lame and treat you like an outcast.

Black men in particular get clowned all the time (usually by other black men ironically) for being short, nerdy, introverted, polite, religious, not being promiscuous and etc. I’ve seen it happen many times during and even after high school. What in the world makes anyone think being educated and clean will be an exception?

None of what you named is for being smart
