Hood mentality

[feelosofer]

They both negative to me how most really use it but I will say you can tell by how its used and the person using it which one it is though

Yea I think self-perception plays heavily into how these words are used, also I suppose context too plays a role. I just saw it as a positive but ghetto to me was seen as a negative.

Son, I can't even tell you what "'Hood Mentality" is - and i'm "'hood" born and bred...
...matter of fact, I come from a "'hood" right next to Ice Cube's.
The reason why I can't is because I know that there isn't a mental attitude
that everyone from the 'hood carries.

Can you tell me what the "'Hood Mentality" is?

Where did I say that everybody in the hood had this attitude? Dont put words in my mouth.

Did you even listen to the song?

I listened to the song when it came out years ago...

Okay - so you didn't "say" everybody in the hood had this attitude. Okay.
...but you did say if we got rid of this "mentality" then we would progress. You said that, right?

But did you really listen to it or just skimmed through it?

Yes, I did say that.

If we get rid of that mentality then we would take a big step toward making progress.

Okay - so how come we haven't been making much "progress"?
Are you of the mind that enough people in the "'hood" have this "mentality"?


Did YOU really listen to this song?
As I recall, at the end doesn't he ask "where you gonna move to"?
Is he a propononent of staying in the hood to make it a community, like you said earlier in here?

We havent made much progress because of the actions of racist whites combined with the actions of c00ns and those with the hood mentality.

Yes I did listen and posted what in the song I agreed with.

Did you not read my first post in the OP?

Finish what?

I said my word all in this thread and what in the song I agreed with.

Too much of our people have this mentality and are holding us back.

The black areas could be much nicer if we built it up instead of destroying it or moving out.

It isnt complex.

Hood Resume - Amethyst

I've lived in the hood before on my own(bomb as place, cheap AF), craziest dude in the hood told everyone I WAS HIS GIRL... (Dis nikka been arrested over 200 times! #StopItSlime) None of the crackheads bothered me though because they believed his crazy azz...

After my neighborhood started getting crazy, I moved to the burbs.


----


I may or may not have acquired a required govt document from some "hood" peeples...

I may or may not get my hair "did" in the hood (BTW it's a weave free zone- my hairdresser refuses to do them)...

I may or may not roll through hood spaces and places all willy nilly. I'm not out chea flexin and flossin...

So I can roll up into the hottest spot in the "hood" (one of the corner stores), dap up my peeples and roll out.

I may or may not use to go to the bootleggers and/or rent parties...

People instinctively recognize a fake crab azz muhfucca.

You cannot go into the hood with that mentality... That shyt will get you GOT.

I was raised to respect people. So the winos and junkies in my hood growing up were PEOPLE to me. I understood that people can take a path in life because of their own pain.

If I'm mentoring kids and they live in the projects, OF COURSE, I'll pick them up, drop them off.

You cannot help people and look down on them and their circumstances.

Real talk, it's people living on the streets.

Even if people aren't living fabulous, at least they have a roof over their heads.

Does anybody in this thread actually live in "the hood" or acquaint with "hood" people?

Nah, he said that's what it is. So I guess he's right and the rest of us hood folks are just talking outta our ass.

Please allow me to reintroduce myself

I'm living in the hood right now on my own working a blue collar job in refinery construction doing hard labor around a bunch of men who did more dirt than you could ever do in your lifetime.

So if you or anybody want to call me out on my name get your facts straight

 

[Blackout]

I wonder if they're really even Black. I think they're plants from someplace else

Come to Texas and meet me miss.

We can roll through my area and if you are unemployed I can hook you up with a job in the refinery so you can see how real men work.

 

[DPresidential]

simple: its glorified as being synonymous with being black

You see it here on the coli all the time. "suburban nikka" is frequently used as an insult

This.
