Why is being a lame or square considered an insult?

That part!

I love a lot of aspects about black culture but I have to say....sometimes we glorify shyt that we shouldn't.

Being cool and having swag is great...but unless that's getting u paid or u gaining wealth from that....then it isn't important as we make it. We should glorify more shyt that would make our positions in thus country and world better than being lower on the totem pole.

A white man can be wack and square as fuk and still pull mad women....us black men can't unless we a provider or tricking
. Also, when blacks get white people....many times we have to pay a preference or divestor/swirling tax. We need to work together to gain a better position as a collective....and treat each other better and stop harming and killing each other and putting our people down.
:wow:

:jbhmm: what is this?
It's an online saying but there been situations where black men and black women have to pay a preference tax.

When we have to date white women who are unattractive to average at best. When a lot of black athletes like Scottie Pippen date non black golddiggers like Larsa Pippin and have to give half his retirement to her....he paying a preference tax. Rachel from the Bachelorette have to pay her cac ex a "preference/swirling" tax because she who is a lawyer and her dad was a federal judge (I believe)...didn't force her cac to sign a prenump. She wanted to flex that white man but she paying $10k alimony every month. Those are examples of paying a "preference tax." Money just going out our community. Many black athletes marry white women and that money gonna leave our community.

Sometimes we put non blacks on a pedestal and we have to pay that "preference/swirling/divestor tax."

Look up on YouTube about divestor tax...and u will see many videos.

When we date interracially...we need to do it out of genuine love or meet organically (like at school, work, etc) and not because of self hatred, frustration towards our own race, or wanting to flex. We also put each other down way too much and other races see that. Not a good look. I know other races do it too but we do it way too much IMO.

The first bolded sentence is a myth. The second happens to black athletes/entertainers no matter what color the woman is.

They're pulling average-cute women. But I can assure you that L7 white men are NOT pulling bad white women.

And L7 Black & Latino men can get women. It's just that we want the coldest women out there, and they ain't going for those types. It is what it is :manny:

Being robbed of your lineage, enslaved for generations and being unable to participate in generational wealth entirely during that time period, then getting placed in poor areas that were mostly inescapable due to deeply ingrained systemic racism and policies that are meant to keep you down, while your community is being torn apart by drugs being pumped into it and the subsequent crime that follows...could warp your priorities a bit. Being a hustler, star athlete or entertainer are the main ways out so you prioritize certain qualities:yeshrug:

I've seen corny, dusty, lame and even financially struggling white men pull baddies of their own race and especially Asian, black and Hispanic women. It happens quite often.

It wouldn't happen much with black men with the aforementioned attributes.

It is what it is. I ain't mad at all...most purpose driven men aren't mad. But sometimes we need to call out the bullshyt, toxicity, double standards, foolishness, etc.

It's a stereotype that black men mess with the leftovers of the white community but some truth to that.

Also, I would like to see money and wealth stay in our community instead of Tyrone and Keisha giving it to Becky and Brad. Marrying a non black means money leaving our community.

It's nothing to be mad about but sometimes u gotta point out the bullshyt, toxicity, etc.

And as a black man..I wanna see more examples of black love but more importantly black wealth and for our demographic to be viewed higher as a collective. As a collective, we are looked at as one of the worst groups of men when it comes to our statistics regarding unemployment, absentee fathers, STDs, making broken homes, etc.

It's boring
That's a misconception. That's a projection. Nothing is boring about being square people just lump anything they don't like into that category then make it to be so and it continues to misinform the impressionable young boys and girls. Being square and being boring or corny are not synonymous. Square people got money and go on vacations and do shyt that doesn't put them in a box. All my square friends for dope careers and love to have fun. It should only be kids still thinking like this
