I've grown up in some of the worst sections of Oakland there is. You can't tell me nothing about nikkas, I know my people very well. I'm just like you, if someone seen me walking up the street at night they would probably be scared until I started talking to them. I resemble something most people in general fear. I've walked past cars and seen people lock their doors or parked somewhere and hear people turn on their car alarms.
I can't be mad at that because the night before a nikka that looked like me just ran in a 7-11 and made everyone lay down. It is what it is, I understand the fear. nikkas got mad at DJ Mustard for saying he wants to get enough money to move where nikkas can't go, I understood just what he meant.
Cuban didn't invent that stereotype he's just citing it to make a point. That's a real actual common stereotype that a black male in a baggy hoodie is a potential threat to white people.Nah fam..I understand what he is trying to say. I actually agree with it to an extent. My problem is how "low" his stereotype is for black people go. Why does the white guy have to be an extreme case for him to afraid?
He is exposing what most white people feel. They are inherently afraid of black people...period...If they do not know you..they at first meeting are afraid of what you might do...how can you be cool with that? Who are they to judge me..
Imagine how they would feel if black people said when they see a white person they automatically feel they are racist...White people would go nuts
I rather a man be honest with me about his view of other race than pretending that kumbaya sentiment exist between us.They're applauding him for being honest about having prejudices and bigoted views....... It's like people who give props to hoes who have admitted to being hoes.
this is kind of why I dont get the outrage.
If people cant speak openly...how does anyone expect things to change? Every time someone says something certain groups dont agree w/ they become vilified. He clearly said we all have our prejudices....why pretend like we dont?
I dont know where yall are from...but in the fall/spring a black hoodie w/ baggy jeans is the uniform of cats doing dirt.
so you look at an avatar online and make a snap judgment about the person that has it but have the nerve to condemn a man making a statement about people including himself making snap judgments?
the analogy is this you walk down the street and see something you've been taught to fear or actually do fear do you take precautions to protect yourself or put yourself in a position to flee? i used an unfamiliar pit bull off it's chain because it's something many people have been taught to be leery of and it transcends that of the racial example. a black person would look at it and a white person would look at it and have similar thoughts. i also used a pit bull because I've had unfamiliar ones run up to me in a playful manor wanting to be petted and played with. pit bulls are dogs that get bad raps, despite the stereotype that surrounds them they're all not vicious attack dogs but people fear them anyway.
in other words it's something people look at and make a hasty generalization about and that generalization may be right and it may be wrong. the generalization is made out of ignorance and it's made out of fear. the analogy is perfect.
Most of these cats on here are white and if they are black, never experienced conflict in their life....So they aint gon understand where you coming from
Its real in these streets...but my only gripe is that the nikkas who get money, need to stay and invest in the hood as opposing to wanna go lay next to white folks for the sake of braggin.....
But that's been our mental illness for the last 100 years or so....what can you do.....
U think Cuban is out there walking in the hood tho? Has his rich ass ever stepped out of the suburbs? He's lived his whole life as a millionaire what the fukk does Cuban know about niccas in hoodies....yet he's still conditioned to look at them as a threat same as every other upper class white person. That's the whole problem
Most of the cats on here with the pseudo militant spill don't stay in the hood either......And I bet you, if they were strolling through the hood late at night and saw some "energetic" young nikkas in hoodies, they would be extra precautious too...
Everybody has been conditioned to be as such.....
Better than being a fronting ass ho. :kobeshrug:They're applauding him for being honest about having prejudices and bigoted views....... It's like people who give props to hoes who have admitted to being hoes.
If you say something is wrong with what was said but aren't actually able to articulate what was wrong with it then it's pretty clear even though you don't like what was said there is no fault. This isn't an intellectual debate it's a bunch of people having an emotional reaction to something they found offensive.You just typed up a bunch of bullshyt
