Hood mentality

[Blackout]

You have very idealistic view of things. I'm all for erasing ignorance but that means we need to change our schools and improve our families. Our only real option is the latter. On top of that you know how capitalism works. The Constitution was written with intention to keep us down. What we need is our own nation and we need to educate each other instead of pointing fingers

Call it what you want but getting rid of the hood mentality only benefits us lol.

Everybody didnt shyt on my thread. Some people agreed and some people didnt.

White supremacist talking points? Racist white people have no part in this specific topic or convo. They can go fukk themselves.

No matter what you say I want people to rise. Nothing you say can change that

They do subconsciously. This "hood mentality" you speak of wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for them

True, yet we can still try to resist what they forced on us.

Are you telling me you wont even try to resist having the hood mentality?

OP, you should look into Dr.Joy and post traumatic slave syndrome. her theory is pretty eye-opening and gave me a lot of clarity on what you find going on in any hood in america. sounds like you're trying to find answers, and these posters jumped down your throat.



WHAT IS P.T.S.S.?P.T.S.S. is a theory that explains the etiology of many of the adaptive survival behaviors in African American communities throughout the United States and the Diaspora. It is a condition that exists as a consequence of multigenerational oppression of Africans and their descendants resulting from centuries of chattel slavery. A form of slavery which was predicated on the belief that African Americans were inherently/genetically inferior to whites. This was then followed by institutionalized racism which continues to perpetuate injury.

Thus, resulting in M.A.P.:

• M: Multigenerational trauma together with continued oppression;
• A: Absence of opportunity to heal or access the benefits available in the society; leads to
• P: Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome.

Under such circumstances these are some of the predictable patterns of behavior that tend to occur:

KEY PATTERNS OF BEHAVIOR REFLECTIVE OF P.T.S.S.

Vacant Esteem
Insufficient development of what Dr. DeGruy refers to as primary esteem, along with feelings of hopelessness, depression and a general self destructive outlook.
Marked Propensity for Anger and Violence
Extreme feelings of suspicion perceived negative motivations of others. Violence against self, property and others, including the members of one’s own group, i.e. friends, relatives, or acquaintances.
Racist Socialization and (internalized racism)
Learned Helplessness, literacy deprivation, distorted self-concept, antipathy or aversion for the following:

• The members of ones own identified cultural/ethnic group,
• The mores and customs associated ones own identified cultural/ethnic heritage,
• The physical characteristics of ones own identified cultural/ethnic group.

Yet he wants to blame it on our slang for the word neighborhood. Whites demonized it so he does too

Well then you wont benefit the black community much if you wont try to resist the hood mentality.

Youll end up robbing from your own, youll end up killing your own cuz of colors, youll never want to start a black buisness and support your own and youll never want to build up black areas.

I feel sorry for you.

Blame? No

Im looking for a way for our people to rise.

i actually dont know if that's what he was saying. "hood mentality" can easily be substituted with "post traumatic slave syndrome" if you ask me.

Trust me breh I'm doing 100% more for the community than you. I'm raising a young black king and a young black queen to be contributing members to society

Then if your doing more for the community than me then you dont have the hood mentality and it looks like what I said flew right over your head.

He's not consciously saying it. Hood is just slang for our neigborhood. White people make you think that's negative cuz it's something we came up with.

That's what they always do

"White supremacist/Fox News talking points" is these cats go-to phrase when they disagree with anything.

 

[Insensitive]

Let's be real

"Hood mentality" is "Thug Culture" by another name.
IF you genuinely feel a large amount of Black people subscribe to this culture and aspire to it
then clearly you are no different than WN's and WS's who push this rhetoric.

I mean this is literally the same shyt that Trump was saying before he got in hot water with the mexicans.
