This hit me a few years ago.
The black people we knew all our lives are damn near aged out and extinct.
Late 70s/ very early 80s was the last time uncut American nikkas was born on this planet.
Went to a house party in the hood tonight.

Did you die?
This thread is 
It's somebody doing fent right this second who has lived through doing it 1000 times. And I hate to say it but this will be their day.
Regardless of economic status or location, I usually don't go to parties/gatherings/whatever if I am not close with the hosts, at a minimum, like an invited and welcome guest,
too much like high school parties if it's not like that. Especially shyt like after parties, no men want more men in their house at 3:00 AM.
but I'll roll almost wherever if those qualifications are met.

So a black person must feel "sad," and "lonely" because they've never been to the "hood"? I've never been to the "hood" either. Does that make me "sad," and "lonely"? Am I disconnected from the "black community"? What are you even saying?! Black people live all over. Everywhere. And the black experience is any experience being had by a black person. I think OP's question is valid, because not everyone grows up in that type of environment and might feel a bit "out of place" while at a house party in the "hood." I know I would. I'd also feel "out of place" at a hoedown in the mountains of West Virginia surrounded by hillbilly whites. You have to do a better job of not being so narrow minded when talking about the black "community."

Nope.
The question isn’t valid because it relies on a series of assumptions posited by white supremacists about the locales inhabited by Black Americans, these stereotypes and fabrications were designed specifically to lessen the image, dignity and life prospects of all Blacks. Asking if the Chinese restaurant down the street might have served me General Tso Kitten is offensive to all Chinese people, not just the ones who sell ribs.
The Yale Chinaman who never mixed an egg noodle in his life would be just as offended.
Referring to the incubators of our culture, the communal tradition as the “lions den” reflects a profound disconnect, not because all Black people live in the hood, but because the neighborhood is where the cultural tenets of African American life were formed, refined and expressed, which is why Baldwin Hills isn’t the Mecca for Blacks, but Harlem is, why our dances come from hood parties, the kind that Dr King would shoot pool at.
To feel out of place in historically Black neighbor hoods doing historically Blqck shyt (which has zero to do with crime) is to be separated, sad and lonely as is constantly expressed on this site.

Do you have a source for the above statement? Also, perhaps the particular "hood" OP was in was a hotbed for crime. Ultimately, people should be where they feel comfortable and around people who they feel comfortable being around. What is sad is pretending to be someone you're not, and doing things you don't want to do to appear more "authentically black."
drill music i can let slide but yeah that sagging skinny jeans im def in the wrong crowd

Do I have a source for where Black culture comes from?
From where Black people live.
So, anywhere that is historically Black, is where Black culture comes from.
Unless several people got shot previously at the same venue and same party, branding an entire block/district/region as a “den [of lions] “ is just incorrect, ham handed and logically unsound.
That was actually my point..If you feel that being around Black people in a historically Black area is somehow dangerous to your life, then that is sad and lonely and I fear for the future of our people if that is the current mindset amongst New Blacks.

OP is getting clowned for being cultureless swine (which he probably is) but there is no question summer time house parties claim lives consistently every year

There is no one black culture/experience. Black people can create anywhere. It doesn't have to be in a "historically black" environment. Also, you can't try to make "the hood" out to be this kind of black cultural source while, at the same time, divorcing it from the very real crime patterns that exist in a lot of these poverty stricken neighborhoods. You can't take the good without the bad. Whatever "culture" is being created in these "hoods" is probably the result of both. Its not sad being who you are, and, if who you are is a person who feels more comfortable around people of a similar background then there is nothing sad about that. Its actually very normal. You must allow black people to simply exist both inside, and outside, of your preconceived notions of who we all should be. Again, there is no one black experience. If you are black, and you are experiencing life...that is the black experience. Accept that reality and embrace it.
