See this the thing bout when you lived in a certain condition because you have too and not had a choice. We make the best of the shyt because it all we know so alot of times things that see like it's all good and fun but, when you get older(if fortunate) you reflect alot of what I thought was all good and fun was just dumb and could've ended wrong. You talk bout lived? What you call living my dude? Selling crack cause you poor and "thinking" that's the only means cause you weren't taught better? What's living? Cause you mom's on welfare get food stamps and don't by food but rather sell them shyts too make money? Or is living seeing a close friend gunned down for a fake gold chain that a nikka thought was real? I got plenty of shyt I can tell you bout. In MY hood we go through shyt because that's what we born in. Yeah I had plenty good times no doubt but alot of the " fun" came with danger I never knew was present til I thought about it when I was older. For every positive there's a negative. When you hear someone talking bout the hood it's usually in the light of the negative. Guess somebody that has no idea about that life come and ask me is Turo and S.claiborne a nice place to live, I should say yeah it's great you'll have a blast! fukk outta here.

I lived on both, hood majority of the time.
The burbs have an
and curious wannabe undercurrent that is exacerbated now due to gentrification.Part of "the hood" IS the suburbs.
Problem is these clowns who grew up in predominantly white areas using their parents choices like an ego booster.
You can smell the smug arrogance a mile away.
PS: not jealous, there's a such thing as "well to do" hood so to speak.
It's kinda funny, too.
City folks with money look down on that credit-card semi struggle life, too.
Leave the hood to live in opiate crisis ground zero, brehs. Oil slicks and cac trash with vouchers.

Some faq used "toxic"
Oh god here we go with the high horse shyt
What’s wrong with praising where we come from? If you ain’t from the hood this question doesn’t apply to you
Even if you are from the hood not every Black person had the same experiences. If people have told that nikka once they have told him 50 times; not all African Americans that grew up in the hood had the same experiences. In fact growing up in the hood is no different than growing up in the suburbs or country, because not everybody in the burbs and country had it good.
I am convinced that OP and many other people are confusing shyt that they read about or see on videos with the actual experiences of most African Americans. Most African Americans grew up in families were the parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts all worked jobs. They taught their kids how to work. Didn't no damn music influence people. People were influenced by their parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts who were all Black.
That dude keeps doing the most.

nikka I'll fukk yo mama. You better chill.
You confusing ratchet moafukkas with regular Black people.
You have clearly never met regular Black people, because if you did then you wouldn't even be making these stupid threads. Regular Black Americans have not been brainwashed about a damn thing. They are always striving to do better and to make their kids do better. Regular Black people want and strive for better jobs, better houses, better neighborhoods, better schools, etc. The shyt ain't easy to get, but they in it to win it.
I don't know what ratchet people be doing , because like most Black people with sense I try to limit my time around them; because I don't need any bullshyt drama in my life. Mind you now I am related to ratchet people just like most Black people are, but ain't nobody trying to spend no time around they asses with they bullshyt.
I don't know about that the nikkas I know who are in jail or got killed. Weren't trying to be down that was the environment they grew up in.philmonroe

Dis nikka always talkin down, but never gives a definitive solution.
He just bitter
@PhonZhi
It’s 2018 nikka, make threads about solutions.
Even if OP is from the hood, he never had to hide 8balls in his socks. He never had to go against the grain (law) just to make ends meet. nikka don’t know what it feels like to be down bad, put in work, and enjoy the fruits of your labor/sacrifices. OP the type of nikka to talk down on his own kind to opps(cacs at his job).
“Glorification of the hood,” is just nikkaz pissed at their environment, beating the odds, and saying, “I’m doing better than they said I would.”
The only thing I get from this nikka, is that he feels like everybody (entertainers, rappers, dboys, etc) should raise the kids instead of their parents (but he never speaks on the education system in America).
I feel OP frustration, but he gotta do more than posting that blackface bullshyt. We all know shyt fukked up. What’s the root of the problem tho? That’s where you start. If OP really tryna make a change, I’ll support...nikka I’m in Atlanta. He all passionate on da internet, but in real life I guarantee you he quiet as a mouse.
