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

My only problem with the burbs is that its boring as shyt and you can't find loose squares.

But I don't think less of nikkas from the burbs. I know real killas from the burbs and I know nerdy type dudes that live in the city.

It's funny to me. A lot of people on this site claim to be pro-black and want to empower black people economically and help living situations....yet shyt on the black people in those places.

I'm not shytting on them


I'm shytting on the folks who act like the suburbs is a bad place

I just think it's an issue of being able to relate. If you grew up in a nice neighborhood and had a good upbringing, chances are you haven't experienced a lot of adversity both personal and systemic. Adversity can play a large part in defining ones self. To grow up in a bad situation exposes a lot of adversity, doesn't make you ignorant of others' struggles because you know firsthand what they are and how it can change people.

Your comment is so ironic because it's so ethnocentric, itself. You could say the exact same thing about people from the hood--that they're ignorant of everything outside of their own social mileu. Your comment also implies that people who live in the suburbs face no adversity when nothing could be further from the truth. Some people out here are living paycheck to paycheck.

The suburbs are horrible though. I grew up with my parents in Laurelton Queens and now I live with my roommate in Fresh Meadows Queens; And honestly I feel like I'm losing my mind out here. The suburbs are not as good as OP is letting on.

My best friends are from either Jamaica avenue or they're from Pomonok projects.

You could say that. I'm not saying it's right or wrong but that's how society in general perceives each situation imo.

Sure people living in suburbs can experience adversity. Paycheck to paycheck living in a nice neighborhood is self inflicted though. To me it's not on the level of real poverty.

There's a reason why most people don't want to live in the hood, why they'd rather move or live in a nice neighborhood especially if you got a family.

people from the suburbs have sex with dogs

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.

There's plenty of hoods in the burbs tho. In Baltimore there's some suburban areas that are worse than areas of the city. Growing up I used to be jealous of my cousins who grew up in the burbs

 

[Will Ross]

It's clearly jealousy

Look another insecure burb nikka thread

Full of misrepresentations and lies about the hood

If anything, Ive seen more insecure threads/posts in here bashing the burbs if anything. nikkas even going so far as saying the burbs are a cac place Thats basically equating poverty to blackness, and also seems like theres a pinch if jealousy there too like people from the burbs should feel bad they were raised in better environments

 

[DrX]

Burbs are cool.....I live in a suburb now...on the city line...its quiet

I think the problem is, when you move to predominantly white suburbs
