Hood mentality

[Blackout]

That makes no sense. How can everybody have a negative mentality but the area not be negative?

I clearly said in an earlier post that not everybody in the hood has the hood mentality

I don't like repeating myself

 

[ridedolo]

Cuz it's lowkey self hate

are there willfully ignorant people in the hood? should this mentality be ostracized or praised?

 

[Insensitive]

I am describing a specific mentality

A stance, I feel is childish and lacking in context.

I'm sure you know the different between a mentality and a physical place.

If THAT'S what you get from my posts, clearly it's not me that's lacking in reading ability.

What makes them wrong is that they give racist whites a pass and I don't. They dont want black people to rise and I want my people to rise. They blame harmless clothing when I blame counterproductive behaviors.

So it's okay to say and think the same things as "Racist whites" as long as you make sure to specify you
care about black people ?

If you can't see the difference between me and them then your intelligence is lacking

My intelligence isn't lacking.
What's unfortunately lacking is your ability to be critical of yourself and the things you state on here.

I more than likely love myself and my people more than you.

Your post is you trying desperately to make me like racist whites. Its reaching hard.

Think the same thing as racist whites? We are not the same. They believe that 2+2=4 and you do too so that makes you the same as them?

I stated it clearly which is why many posters unlike you responded properly so I didnt have to repeat myself like Im doing now.

Willful ignorance should be ostracized. But the word hood is a part of our culture. Our experience is different that everybody else's. Some peoples hoods are completely different than mine but whether we grew up poor, or middle if you grew up in a Black neighborhood you are gonna have similar experiences that no other ethnic group in this country has. That's the hood. If you live in a all black neighborhood that's your hood that doesn't mean you live in the ghetto

Semantics lol

I told you already I dont care much about terms. I care about the negative behaviors going away.

lol so it's his use of the word hood that bothered you. got it. sounds like we all agree, you just seem to have special relationship to the word hood.

 

[Blackout]

You know its true

Basically lol

This thread is still going

I think everyone is in agreement but the argument is purely over semantics. I am tired as heck and falling asleep but I see it clearly. How do you all not see that everyone is in agreement?

There are willfully ignorant people everywhere, abhorrent behavior isn't something to tolerate
but naming a mentality after a place pretty plainly attaches those negative views to the people who live there.
True, the hood here is a slang term for neighborhood but we know that "Hood" is pretty much a synonym for
"Ghetto" and that's how it's being used in this thread.

And by "Ghetto" we mean not just a low income area but a set of behavior's and world views that are attached
to living in that low income area and to make sure we have very little room to think it could be something else the
OP made sure to let us know he's directing this thread at Black People he even specified that several times afterwards.

I mean @7Revo has pretty plainly painted "The hood" as a place where people rob & kill others and aspire to nothing.

And if my post isn't clear enough, it's not the word that bothers me.
It's the idea that these issues spring up simply because people don't want to do better.
It implies that for all intents and purposes things are equal, the only problem is "hood minded" (black) people just aren't taking advantage of their situation because *insert right wing talking point here*

Your post is you trying desperatly to make me like racist whites. Its reaching hard.

I stated it clearly which is why many posters unlike you responded properly so I didnt have to repeat myself like Im doing now.

It wasn't "many posters", it's the same posters who toe the line and insinuate that some sort of nefarious street culture is
damaging African Americans. It's a view that implies that there is nothing else impacting these neighborhoods and the people therein.

I mean you're getting dapped up by a dude who attributes these problems to "Hip Hop Culture" while you're calling it "Hood mentality"
what's funny is Trump calls it a "Lack of spirit" and Geraldo calls it "Thug culture".
The naming changes but the rhetoric stays the same anyone with a pair of eyes can see this.

You should be worried about semantics becuz they are what bodied your thread from the start.
Plus the fact that your music example was from a nikka whose a multi millionaire
who hasn't lived in the hood in years and recorded that song long after he got to that status.


You should've put something from Death Certificate. Or was that too hood

Did you think a thread title like I'm Sick Of Ignorant Black People was too harsh or was that title already took by @PhonZhi


For real tho you coulda just bumped one of his threads
