funny ass thread

You'd be foolish to think that a ? would be harmless because his parents had a lil money. After you start 'thuggin' for a while (lets say they started like at 10), that ? becomes you. All that hiphop and ? . Regardless if you got money or not
If you really think if you have to be in poverty to be hard, go ride through Riverdale, GA. It's gotten out of hand over there, last I heard
/thread
Same about Sacramento, California.
You would think that ? is soft because of the nice houses and ? but people really do get shot all the time.
People came from Oakland, LA, all those hoods and moved to Sacramento.
It's getting really out of hand. -
Middle class thugs= wannabes

The problem is that due to a lack of role models and pervasive images in the media, "thuggish" behavior is vastly connected with the idea/identity of being a Black male in America (believing this is how a black man is "supposed" to act). . I've known ? who lived great and got everything they ever wanted or needed, and still wanted to indulge in street ? like selling drugs and carrying a strap (in an area where murders and robberies hardly ever happen).
This is really why black women are leaving black men behind.
Is you ask me, I find this very alarming. I mean I'm pretty sure many of these parents went through hell to get where they are, but their kids aren't taking advantage of what they have. How will the black race ever progress?
And does anybody want to tell me that rap has nothing to do with the idea that if you're a black male you have to be hard? That is why I reject rap. As far as I am concerned, I have an obligation to my race to do so. -
These type of niccas are a disgrace to humanity.

people will do whater to fit in or be percieved as cool.. trappin and banging is cool so....

The real thugs are the rich educated ones

Thugs aren't all poor/dumb/illiterate... That's a stereotype. Many of the Crip and Blood sets in L.A. are in middle class neighborhoods but the ? are wild as fucc. Maybe because it's a culture out here in opposed to it being a fad/trend elsewhere but middle class thugs can be some of the most evil muthafuccaz you could come across. They can come off just as hard or even harder than lower class/poor/illiterate thugs

I can see why that might be true. Because they are middle class, they face skepticism about how hard they really are. And so they have to go above and beyond to show that they really are thuggish, whereas others might be able to depend more on the reputation of their hood.
The problem is that these dudes shouldn't have bought into the idea that being hard is a good thing in the first place. That's a product of a history of oppression. -

Sadly, most will. That's why we urgently need to change what is considered 'cool'. -
pure foolishness.....
nobody saying just because a dude is middle class or from the burbs, he's automatically soft
it's just real thugs do it cause they have to, not because it's cool
no matter how much "you get down", you still won't have the same experience and intestinal fortitude as a poor ? if you never knew what it was like to miss a meal, or to have to choose life or death in a situation
this is why people got the def of thug twisted, because now it's a fad
I remember when females wouldn't want anything seriously with you because you were thuggin, all they would give is ?
now chicks are getting into relationships with thugs, and middle class ? want to be bloods and crips instead doctors and lawyers
I used to be envious of middle class mofos growing up, now it's like they want to struggle on purpose just to seem certified SMH -
lol i dont think its to be cool i see it more about money why work for a week and make 400 when u can make it in a night

What you're doing here is reinforcing the idea that being a 'real ? ' (in the sense of being hard) is a good thing. That just has the effect of making middle class dudes want to be 'real ? ', with predictably bad results for blacks.
We need to forget about that foolishness and start promoting what is the truth, which is that there is nothing wrong with being a '? ? '. -

IDK about advocating to be a "? ? " per se, but we def got to ? the hypermasculinity BS out
that ? is killing Black males more than anything else SMH -

to me a real ? aint a thug, its just a person thats true to themselves, i would call Obama a real ? but he probably would like to be called a real african. i wouldnt want to be a ? ? , i wouldnt want to be a ? . -

Last year a pregnant woman got killed in front of her moms house by Tiny Raskals.
There's shootings and drug dealing all over the 916 I seen it with my own eyes.
Alot of ? happens in middle-class neighborhoods, you got Gutta, Zilla, NHGC, SSL, TRG, GBC, OPB, FAB, and more all in Sacramento and these ? put in work.
It's nowhere near the suburbs.
And i'm just talking about the city of Sacramento not the county.
Like AJ said it really doesn't matter where you are because there are thugs everywhere.
So don't be so quick to underestimate people. -

However you personally define 'real ? ' is beside the point. (Though I must say that some people will say they define it one way, but don't really use it that way.) The main point is that there is this pervasive idea that if you're a black male you have to be hard.This isn't helping blacks. -

? should start thinking for themselves. if you grow up middle class, what the ? you got to be hard for? I can understand why ? in the hood hard but thats just because you got to be or that ? gonna eat you alive.
