This is gonna be super long but I think it's important.
To your question, the children/forthcoming generation that makeup that background oftentimes struggle with
Linguistics. There was a lengthy conversation in here about Ebonics/AAVE/Pidgin/whatever. The majority of Black people that don't grow up around other Black people or Black influences don't understand why Black people choose to articulate themselves in a dialect that fuses African syntax into the overarching linguistic strutcture (English). Language is one of the foundational aspects of a people's culture. If only they spoke with proper grammar, it's really not that hard. If a person can't relate to you simply off how you're speaking, there's an immediate disconnect. You see that on TheColi aswell.
Etiquette/ tradition. It may seem trivial, but the vast majority of Black black cultural groupings (AA, WI, Carib etc.) are part of what's called a high-context culture, very interpretive and many things go unsaid out of a shared sense of experience/understanding, there was a thread not too long ago on here that went several pages about "the nod" among Black men as a sign of mutual understanding. It goes alot deeper than that, but you get the drift
If you are a Black Man and another Black Man gives you "The Nod" in these streets...
Thought. Ideas like Pan-Africanism and Black nationalism are the cornerstone of Black thought, group economics, generational wealth and allat good shyt yall talk about on some level derives from one of these schools of thought. Once you lose your sense of thought focused on Black issues on the backdrop of Black culture, you take up the inverse.. You become a cac in Blackface.
Music. Relatively straight-forward, there was a thread on here a few days ago about 21 Savage rapping about the hardships of living in The Hood and how external forces play a dominant role in it's continued stagnation.. This is literally the cornerstone of Hip Hop.. The poster did not understand that and attributed it to his relationship with Amber Rose softening him up.. this is a fundamental misunderstanding of Black culture, Black discourse and Black music. This is what I mean when I say the broader Black community becomes abstract to some nikkas. They know alot of our people are living in the struggle, but realistically they've never seen that and have trouble comprehending the extent to which these circumstances perpetuate themselves against our own efforts.. The white man will fill in the Blanks for that and you get Black people who parrot white conservative talking points and simply tell black people to "pull themselves up by the bootstraps!". Our problems don't exist to someone who doesn't know/understand them.
Music II this is more trivial. A suburbreh who grew up listening to Coldplay and My Chemical Romance will have a harder time understanding how they derive from art-forms our people created. We are the most musically gifted people on the planet.
There's MUCH more but this all plays into how a Black person comes to view others and themselves.. Communal living, nontraditional families, matrilineal society, these are all historical elements of Black American (And African ppl in general tbh) culture that shape our views on contemporary issues like Birth control, women's rights, sex, media, everything really.. This is our culture, it's not something to look down upon, and it doesn't mean you're ghetto or live in The Hood.
When you see this ideological shift that essentially parrots a White conservative agenda (I wonder why), you see nikkas on TheColi who didn't grow up around other Black people saying they would like to BOMB other Black men who they feel are a deviant strain of our people (I like how we said 70% of blacks are above the poverty line and forgot that means more than a quarter of us aren't
).
tired of writing now.
Yup. Rap music has put more dollars into Black hands than any other form of entertainment and put our issues (Many of which have been discussed in the song) on the forefront. Not to mention it's probably saved more Black lives than any hospital u can imagine lol. Like Jay Z, who's also from Bedstuy.
It's ironic that you cut the actual song out and just included the behind-the-scenes shyt. The dudes in the video are in an actual incubator of Black culture speaking and living a reality of that, because you don't like/understand it, doesn't mean that it's not uplifting. After all, Hip Hop is about living your truth, being yourself on the backdrop of the Dominant society's campaign against you.
I don't speak in absolutes. The majority of 'affluent' Black people come from The Hood anywayWhat is authentic black culture that affluent black people don't know about?

I’m not mad at you at all. You corny fake internet gangsta. I’m mad your dumb ass said you in the streets pushing work right now and that you from the hood when you live in fukking Orlando. You can’t even scratch your ass while being black in Orlando without having police stop you, much less moving work you clown.
The only believable thing you said is that you knew people pimping washed up old white women with no teeth, because those freakishly nasty looking hoes are the norm at 7-11 at night time.
Your gangsta online fantasies are sad. You not even man enough to post a video or photo of yourself but you in the streets...
Clown shyt
you ain’t nothing but a suburb palm tree winter park living cac

I made a thread about that. The black collective mindset, nikkahs complained.
Black People are Actually "Black"

You know how that go.
That's because Suburbrehs are huge on the idea that Black identity = Lack of independent thought. Those the type nikkas who say shyt like
You know, when you call yourself an AFRICAN American you're seperating yourself from everyone else!
Why does it have to be BLACK Lives Matter, why not just ALL lives matter?

You made it clear there's no 'our' to the community, lol. You glad you don't live near these types.. fukk them and the women who birthed them, right? You just said fukk every piece of the Black community.
If you can't identify with the root causes of our continued issues, then about 40% of our people are left in the cold, that means the young dudes who are in the community wreaking havoc aswell as the oldhead pizzaman that's gettin vic'd. That's why I said you nikkas honestly don't care about Black people, so stop acting like you do.
That cycle will perpetuate itself over and over and cacs will eat off of it, just like they've been doing in various forms for the last 400 years.
This is the continuity of freedmen saying "lol fukk them ignorant nigras still on them plantations down south". I'll say it AGAIN.. 'Black People' are an abstract body to you nikkas lol. It's like something you're acutely aware of, but really don't have a vested interest in.
