Or back in the 90s and early 00s, people were legit getting at people for being in low crime rate areas and not in hot zones of people getting robbed/killed.

This is the problem with the hood culture being our primary representatives.
People starting to take pride in being poor and struggling. Even the children of wealthy rappers and athletes wanna pretend they grew up poor.

The good thing however is, people underestimate how many middle to upper class black people there actually are. There is a community there. The majority of black people aren't impoverished. I suggest she ignore the loud voices of the few. and focus on the entire black audience. She'll get love from the rest of us.

Oldheads want it to still be the 90s, acting like Pac or DMX, acting a whole fool, skipping classes, doing random bids, loving in extreme poverty as the proper example of black folks. Like, if you grew up in a house with your 2 biological parents, you somehow "coddled" and "soft"
