Cats in here will try to rationalize but i agree with you OP. I didn't move to the burbs til i was like 14 or 15 when my dad started making more dough, and i've been around some of those dudes, a lot of their mentalities are warped. They go around seeing other black men as enemies/targets, but not white men. For somebody who's supposed to be tough, it's amazing the stuff that 'thugs' let white men (and non black men) get away with. I've seen it with my own eyes firsthand. And fighting over blocks that you literally don't even own. It's nor 'your' block, it's not even 'his' block.
These nikkas mindsets are a big part of what's wrong in our communities. Even some of the dudes who don't bang think the same way as they do, have beef with other black men over some petty shyt, but scared to even raise their voice at a white man.
Way back in the day, some of the drug dealers would use their "earnings" to go legit, start a black business, etc. Well these nikkas nowadays don't do anything like that. They just take pics flashing the money and watches, clothes, etc on IG. They don't deserve any respect, they have no code, it used to be women and children were off limits, now that's gone out the window, they don't use their profits towards the community at all. They're not good for anything if we're being real.
