It's crazy how folks try to make being from the suburbs sound like a bad thing.

[MajorVitaman]

And somewhere on the internet, there's a cac lurker whose face is beet red from laughter from the black-on-back bashing in this thread

yeup

We divide ourselves over the dumbest shyt.

"I grew up in the burbs, I'm better than those nikkas over there"

"You ain't real nikka, I'm out here in the belly of the beast"

Spoiler

at the end of the day we all still nikkas and white folks control all our daily bread

Cacs steady off our petty infighting

A lot of ignorance coming from both sides of the fence in all honesty

Just because they grew up in the "burbs" doesn't mean they don't have their own set of problems and their own adversity to overcome. Only difference between the hood and the burbs is economics.

economics play a large part in peoples' lives though. Man I never said there's not adversity in the burbs, it's that society norms generally portray that growing up in the hood can expose you to more of life's hardships. like someone alluded to earlier, living paycheck to paycheck in a nice neighborhood with a good upbringing can be stressful, but imo it's self-inflicted and not systemic as in real poverty, living in a bad situation where basic fundamental needs are hard to get.

Economics is a huge part in this scenario because basically everything revolves around money. It's why most crime occurs, and why most marriages fail.

Tokenized nikkas in the burbs don't face systematic oppression brehs

Its funny you make that assumption because its that same line of thinking that makes suburban nikkas think they're above everyone else and so easy to finesse.

i didn't say that they don't face oppression, i'm referring to an earlier post about bein in nice neighborhood but struggling there cuz they living paycheck to paycheck. That's self-inflicted.

I'm not naive enough to think nobody experiences adversity. Racism knows no limits, no boundaries. I'm talking about real systemic poverty, from the housing to access to fundamental needs like good food, water, schools, etc. That scale of poor economics alone breeds the type of behavior like crime and resentment that makes up the feeling of a person who lives in a nice neighborhood with a good upbringing cannot relate to someone who has lived in the hood and has firsthand experience of real society-influenced hardships.

Like I said, the hood is a whole different animal. It breeds a lot of resentment cause you become angry that it's supposed to be a system of racism but you've got black kids in good schools who can afford quality shyt. Their parents have good jobs, can afford to take them nice places. When you're a kid, you hate on the other kids rather than the system. Those in the suburbs still face systemic barriers, in a way us hood kids didn't have to face white people 24/7 so we had it better. We lived with our people. A lot of suburban kids had to deal with their white neighbors calling the police on them going to their own property, locking car doors once they walked by, etc.

I lived in both. Suburb nikkas 75% c00n, 10% overcompensation (conscious), 15% overcompensation (wannabe hood).
What you're saying about hood kids doesn't really apply to black cities...only white cities with no black "nice" neighborhoods.
Totally different dynamic and reasoning.
There are also "city well to do" black people...who don't garner resentment from hood folks. Rare to you, maybe where you're from...but not to me.

No, they think the dudes they grew up with are real friends...until they reach my age and final transitions occur.
That real live racist comes out.

 

[Indiglow Meta (R$G)]

You can think what you want really.

As I said before, my parents were working class, we weren't exactly poor, but things weren't great either. And as ol girl said, we had to deal with racism full bore, from the school system to life in general. I have two assault charges stemming from racist cacs breh, shyt's not that easy

working class =/= truly suburban.
A real live suburbreh usually has military or upper caste immigrant parents from a 3rd world area.
Y'all were just broke tryna keep up with the joneses and live improved.

You don't have anything good to say about a black person from the suburbs..but you're not resentful. Ok

Hardship sees no color.

 

[Wild self]

Suburban blacks get hate because people have made struggle the only black story.
Hell a lot of suburban brothers get caught up based on the idea they can't be a real black man without a story of struggle.

Facts.

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

quick question defines the difference between a suburb and a hood nikka, i feel like i might fall at the inbetween spot

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Growing up around other middle/upper middle class kids is apparently a bad thing



Living in an absolutely safe neighborhood is apparently a bad thing



Not growing up fighting in the streets over petty bullshyt is a bad thing



Living in a house with a stable, good income is a bad thing



Going to one of the best schools in the state is a bad thing





I'm not tryna shyt on lower class folks, but let's be real yo


What part of this is bad?

that's not what actually happens though


what happens is, these suburbs kids try to ACT like they from the hood


i was born in philly, then moved to the DMV... let me tell you what these 500k house living nikkas would try and pull


call their neighborhood "the hood"

go out and sell drugs when their parents gave them everything



fukk off and fukk up those good schools by trying to be bad asses everyday




dress like they straight out the trap, complete with a diddy bop and the latest in jail fashion



talk like they been through the struggle



talk like they have zero education unless it was to the teacher, police or their parents




spend time, gas and money to drive to DC so they could get into some fukkery so they can come back and say "maaaan i be in dc all day yo"




get into fist fights and act like they hard



ride around with guns to bust in the air so they can be the toughest nikka in the burbs




get in beef with real killas and call the police

No, because my peoples aren't poor and I navigate freely through anywhere.
Resentment and jealousy are for women.
A disdain and distaste due to personal experience isn't that. You can think it is.
Suburb nikkas overcompensate. Hood nikkas are on their minds way more than the other way around.
Why? Hood is where the aesthetic comes from, not disconnected lames.
You're lame. I'm not.
