Yep. I'm from the hood and when our bus used to pick up the black kids who lived in the named subdivision areas,the hood girls used to pick on those girls calling them oreos . They couldn't help where they were born no more than we couldn't. They used to make fun of me b/c my mother put me in gifted and call me rich boy because our house was made of brick,,,,in the hood. I remember using baking soda for our armpits and brushing our teeth.
@@ominai1877I’ve been called an Oreo my whole life, the “hood” black girls would mock my voice & make fun of my music taste and hobbies. And I know I did nothing wrong because I would always try my hardest to be their friend. I even got called a white girl (im dark skinned so what? 😭) just for changing my hair from curly to straight blonde for two weeks. They say we aren’t a monolith but as soon as they meet a black person who isn’t a stereotype they bully you.
Reddit answer It's a half-serious meme suggesting that Beyonce has such a large and influential internet presence and has generated such a large subcultural following online that she might as well be said to own it. 😂 Yes pond in a world full of water
It's a gravity well. She escaped the crab bucket. Anyone who is self respecting moves out and all the shining lights of the community move out and no one has any good role models. The good people leave, the money leaves, the ambition leaves. Of course there are some outliers still in the hood trying their best, but most leave.
Please don’t think of me as a racist, but I’m really starting to believe that certain Black people not all but certain ones are of the mindset that if you’re black, you have to think alike you have to talk like you have to do everything alike and you have to support everything that is done and said within the black community, no matter how wrong or degenerate it is and that’s not good.
The second guy was so full of cognitive dissonance, spirit of confusion all on him, he couldn’t even finish his statement. “You reducing us to… to what you reduce us to” You mean seeing the majority for what it is? Is that the reducing? Also he was beyond proud to say how people don’t clock him as being from that area. I bet he worked hard and dreamed of a better life and got out. Now he feels some kind of guilt because the BC is always on some “don’t forget where you came from” nonsense. I’m not buying it.
@@ReeRee_DonitaYes Black men feel this way. Anybody can. I grew up in the hood, born and raised and I agree with her as well. It's funny this got the same exact reaction that White folks give us when we tell them racism is still a problem in America. But then again, accountability is a huge problem in America, in both Black and White communities
because you aren’t culturally black, just because you have dark skin does not make you black. thats why you feel uncomfortable because you are not socially black. its okay just know that you will never have anything in common with other black men
@@ALUCARDTWILLIGHTBLK men really try to gaslight women for speaking truth on them… that’s the same thing yall said about the women R Kelly Graped… it only make yall look barbaric to try to make fun of women being SA… but you’re a BLK guy so I know you lack comprehension of how making post like this makes all women of all races who read it scared of BLK men and avoid yall … I’m sure you’ll be crying racism when the stats reflect BLK men aren’t being chosen by any women because you take any moment to attack women even if she’s already a victim you attack her for speaking on her trauma… sick sick dude
@@milliontimesover2180 I said that because not every black person is from the hood, the hood doesn’t only have black people, and there are black people that live in other areas wannabe chalk chimp
@@milliontimesover2180 I said that because not everyone in the hood is a hood person, not every hood person comes from the hood, and while it’s majority black hood mfs can come in all races. That was the point. And if your first thought in thinking of “hood people” as a black person what does that say about you?
Correct me if I'm wrong but "being a hood person" doesn't necessarily mean black right? Plenty of hoods with all races but these black folks think its just about them
Thats because they want to claim it to feel hurt. You realize later that none of these people complaining are actually in the true "Hood" as one of the guys pointed out: once you leave, you never want to go back. You know when you are in it and you would agree.
In this day and age, any victimhood you can claim means power. You don't need to actually be victimized, as long as you can claim any victimhood status in the public's eyes.
A hood person doesn't mean black. Merriam-Webster describes a hood person as a violent, brutal person who is often in an organized gang. The type of people who will brazenly try to rob/attack somebody in broad daylight, walk around with their pants hanging off their butts, proclaims that they are gangsters, flash off guns, money, and drugs on social media, and having little to no empathy of others like breaking in/stealing from others, taking another person's life disregarding the repercussions and other forms of crime. Unlike that one lady assumed, there is a difference between a person who was born/raised/lived in the hood and somebody who is a hood person. Nobody is in control of where they are born or raised, so they may be born in the hood doesn't define them. Somebody who is a hood person chooses to live that life and embrace it disregarding how dangerous and negative it is.
@@valtaep1ece796 That made 0 sense. They aren’t strippers that you throw dollars at to make em give you more attention. I don’t know how you came to this conclusion but you need to work on your critical thinking skills. For general relativity: You want to “fund” the police (when we already do.. duh?) however you aren’t ready for the conversation of holding them to a higher standard and punishing them more severely if they abuse their power against citizens protected under the constitution.
According to demographics the black American population is decreasing solely because of VIOLENCE. It was originally 12% but went down to 10.2% over a course of 10 years. In 50 years where will ya'll be?!?
Nice pfp, Blood blockade the best anime also even tho I as a black guy I never grew up in the hood thankfully I still feel uncomfortable around those areas
Same. White & grew up in the hood as a minority. As a kid, I assumed the random aggression and straight-up bullying I experienced was due to me being white. The older I got, the more I realized hood-minded people were always aggressive to everyone. I actually got neither more nor less bullied because of being white. Hood people gonna target anyone they think they can get away with targeting.
@R34S0N3R I'm Dominican and grew up in the Bronx in the 80s and 90s. Most people had no manners, were incredibly jealous of anyone richer, smarter or lighter skin to the point of violence, and were easily offended and overly aggressive. It was terrifying and I say that with no exagerration. When I finally moved into a white suburbs in 11th grade, it was shocking to me how nice the kids there were. They all wanted to be my friend.
@@lisettes.9598 Wow, and thats coming from a Dominican too, to think that a lot of us have got that American dream and always seem to go to NY exclusively. They make it seem like if they move out they'll be immediately rich. Thank you for your perspective man, couldn't have gotten that scope myself
Yall know exactly what she means. I been black many moons. I wouldn't feel worried around leon if i saw him. But we all know black people and "hood" people aint the same people.
Not sure about that. After watching black people's content for some years, black community is like government support criminal family, they will go after you and your finger(like Japanese mafia) for betraying them, leaving them in black&white world, escaping into colorful one. Well, or it's just media in effect, and civilized black people aren't using socials, while hoods people constantly using it As an foreigner, it's really hard today to say what black people actually are, like there nothing that's unites them
That trailer park comment was absolutely perfect. "Trailer Trash" is our version and we do our best to avoid those people. Even people that live in the trailer park don't like "Trailer trash" either.
Lived in a trailer park, and the hood, you aren't wrong. It only takes a few bad apples to make an area unsuitable for general living, and absolutely unacceptable to raise a family in.
Right 🤯🤯🤯🤯 Like it’s an unwritten sin for us to call each other out on our bad behavior and get called “sellout”, “Uncle Tom” or the dreaded “bed wench” for doing so. I’m sick and tired of it!
I agree with this wholeheartedly. I’m a nerdy black dude and I always felt this way. They be aggressive for no damn reason and always looking at you like you’re crazy 🤦🏽♂️
Not to mention the second hand embarrassment of being around a hood person and you don’t know what’s gonna come out of their mouth or how some people conduct themselves in public that draws unwanted attention.
“It’s easy to tell who the criminal is cause we have a mask on while we’re stealing your car” Seems like an oxymoron my dude. Also couldn’t help but noticed his use of ‘we’ as if he associates with and participates in that sh*t😐
She means people who embrace urban culture; especially, urban, thug culture. If you act like a thug, then you can't be surprised when people treat you like one. Same with anything else.
Man ima just say it like this, Jesse Jackson said “There is nothing more painful to me than to walk down the street and hear footsteps, then turn around and see somebody white and feel relieved.” He walked those statements back but spoke his truth. We gotta do better.
My black coworker told me today that he was sick of living in the hood. He lives in Paterson NJ and he told me that just a day ago someone was killed on his street. He thinks the hood mentality is bullshit and wants nothing to do with it. Also that one guy was right about trailer parks. I saw one of the few trailer parks in my area and there's no way in hell I'd walk in there.
As a latina who grew up in the hood and the projects, the biggest thing I saw that broke my heart was the way black moms treated their kids there. There was a group of kids who saw me, a 10-11 year old as their mother because I played with them, taught them basic hygiene and helped them be kids. My heart still breaks over what happened to these young black, neglected children.
I'm afro Latina but mostly raised from the spanish side. I would talk to my friends as kids the things they would tell me their parents did to them was so cruel. But some people will always find an excuse for it and won't admit it's messed up sadly.
I’m from the hood. I was so happy to move out. Now I can walk around with my kids and dogs without worry. No1 is out looking for trouble. Every1 I walk past waves and says hi. I mean every1.
I am a BK woman who attended an HBCU, and lived in a predominately BK neighborhood, and I am very uncomfortable around 'hood' people. Why? I have ZERO things in common with them. However, I LOVE being around other BK people who are NOT "Hood."
Not everyone from the hood is a criminal, but the likelihood is greater. As someone from the hood, at least I can admit it. I never hear gunshots in the suburbs. That was the music I feel asleep to in San Bernardino.
I once seen a guy running down the street, get hit by a car, and then get up and laugh, ive lived in a few hoods, I’ve been in trailer parks with pickups flipped by drunk people, now I take care of a very small farm in the country and I enjoy it so much better, there’s lots of ways to get out the hood that are affordable if you really want to.
lets say you are at, not a party, but like a weekend cookout/hangout get together in any hood and there are 15 people there.......there is a 100 percent one person there is a full time "hustler", which even if that just means gambling and retail drug sales, is still a criminal. Furthermore, you will find at least one person that either has a body on them or someone in their immediate family has a body on them
@24framedavinci39 wait, I'm white though. Blacks have told me all my life I don't live in a ghetto when my high school was 40% Hispanic, %35 black, and %5 were white? The other 25% were.....not from America or Africa nor were European. Balkan states Russian. Asians outnumbered us. I STILL HEAR gunshots on a daily. But noooo, only blacks are minorities and are aware of da hood.
..and I hate that so many Black people can't own that. Bernie Madoff ain't out car jacking, murdering children, or going in local Targets and CVSs with duffle bags...:👀. Sure, WE are Black but there's a LOT of Black people giving a straight PASS to criminality. Stop the madness. Being poor doesn't give a pass to be a criminal. White people aren't in the "hood" causing Black people to carjack and murder peoples children. White people and elections ain't affecting US on a daily basis.
Absolutely agree. I make this distinction with being Gay and being a homosexual. 1 is a lifestyle, the other is something you can't really control (Preference, palce of birth etc)
@@Elvewizzy. I think a clearer way to explain might be being gay/homosexual vs. being "part of the gay/LGBTQ/etc community." One only says you like dick, the other comes with a lot of baggage.
As the daughter of a super paranoid mom from the hood, of course women would be nervous around those types of people. My mom throughout her life has been robbed twice, shot at, and stabbed. This type of stuff only happens constantly in bad neighborhoods.
Hardly the same. You wouldn’t worry about getting shot from stray bullets or bullets being shot into your home. Nor would you worry about carjackings. Not the same.
@@Catherine-u8l You obviously haven't lived in certain trailer parks in Tennessee, right near the Georgia border, then. Meth is a helluva drug. XD LOL (And for context, black guy here but lived in the middle of the meth highway on I-75 for YEARS. BEEN to Dalton where the best glass was made. BEEN to the trailer parks where stickups happened in...and were fought off by armed folk the other way. It was wild.)
I'm from Philly 'THE HOOD' and I don't hang out with hood people. I'm cool with people from the hood like me! I don't mess with hood people - the ones shooting and killing each other, the dope boys, the girls who wear pajamas and walk around with flip-flops, the ones with the bottoms of their feet black, the hood people who will fight if you sneeze too loud. I could go on. The difference between me, my family, and friends who LIVE IN THE HOOD but still work hard every day, have birthday parties with no fights, and can cook for one another is trust and love. I'm a nail tech, and my best friend is a nurse, but we still live in the hood. However, we are not hood.
I agree with her. I didn’t grow up in the hood and felt like I was missing a part of my identity since I wasn’t around many black people besides my fam so I tried to befriend people who grew in different environments but I found that we didn’t have the same way of approaching shit. And when I tried to talk to “hood dudes”, I just couldn’t see myself being with a man who didn’t move thru life logically.
If anyone is upset then they fit the image of what people talk about 100%. If you see a large group of black people (kids or adults) who are very loud in a gas station, a walgreens, or a small restaurant late at night just buy whatever in your hand and just leave. It's not racist when you are concerned about your safety and going back home alive.
She has to make that false disclaimer to cushion the impact of the angry mob. Didn't work completely but it would have been much worse if she didn't say that part.
They knew what she meant She meant the people who are overly aggressive, attack people & bully folks It’s literally a jungle, & only the strong survive It’s levels to it 💯 Sis said it best in the gold bonnet 📍
Born in the hood, raised in the suburbs. There was a small complex where the majority of black residents lived and the kids from that development _chose_ to be ghetto, violent and aggressive. Didn't matter that they were getting the same good education and opportunities that the yt kids were getting, to them, _this_ was the very definition of blackness and they felt they had to stick to it to a 't'. That said, as a grown woman, far removed from my school days, those kids are now raising these kids who dislike anything ghetto. I'm seeing it in my own family. I don't know if that's karma, but I'm sure glad to see us waking up.
They have childhood issues from their parents that they're scared to address so they put it on the past and long-dead people that don't look like them. Easier than breaking the cycle.
I lived in Baltimore, its part of the religion. Its ingrained before they are even born. Doesn't matter if they have ever hardly met or interacted with white people. Or that their city is one of the most corrupt in the country, it is all they talk about all.day.long. The obsession gets creepy. Look at how much power she gives white people over them, don't even have to be in the same town but we can use voodoo and affect their behavior. Based on nothing but assumptions that they think they know how we view ourselves and each other because Europeans are all the same flavor, don't you know? Europeans are evil for fighting each other over there, but everyone showed up at the same time and are holding hands here. But then Asians get the same treatment and the violence against them is rising also, was also the worst Judeophobia I have encountered. They can't even get along with Africans. But despite the 4th highest education spending in the country, Baltimore can't even read, and was just busted for fudging numbers. With such a bad education system, you can be convinced of anything. They still have schools without AC and have to close on extreme heat days. There are those who really try to improve things, take care of their communities, and implement change. But when there is such rampant corruption and apathy in the city. And the gangbangers are really scary, it is a Sisophylian effort. Baltimore didn't lose its industry, it brings in more money than ever, there is no reason to be that way except the rampant corruption in their government, it is really sad. That is why Maryland politicians are some of the slimiest in the country and remember that when you see them shamelessly virtue signaling on the news. When the state was re-building their headquarters in Baltimore, they were sued for not using black contractors by people who were trying to provide jobs in Baltimore, instead they moved the headquarters to Annapolis. But the Democrats are entrenched and unless someone can get them out, nothing will change. Look at historical film foitage of Baltimore from 1900s, it was a beautiful city. I have heard old timers talk about how nice it used to be.
That man who brought up the trailer park, he's right. And any black person who's also lived in a trailer park knows too, with added fear that they're the only black person - the same fear I had being one of the only white kids in the hood. 🤷
Third dude was exactly right, trailer Park here, I'm a white dude we had good Christians, to low down thugs , druggies etc, when you get out the park you never want to go back. Also I get what the OP saying, you can feel the difference in hanging with normal people or with some fools running the street, in or out the park especially if you were in the life at some point. It's being SMART and SAFE, watch your ass in the rough parts of your town that's all
As a black woman myself I agree. I didn’t grow up exposed to people like that so I tend to get nervous and feel more vulnerable knowing they’re in the same area as me
I live in the hood (with other blacks, Hispanics and a few whites) and hate feeling unsafe, unhappy and not being able to order food or have packages delivered there. I don't like the aggressive people who walk up and down the street. My husband and I would love to move away into a house but it's too expensive right now. I have a degree and am very articulate but am just the victim of circumstance. Being different and exuding intelligence as a black person was seen as negative and associated with whiteness but only to blacks who choose to be ignorant. Hood is also a mentality like they said in the video, and I don't like people who are aggressive and could potentially cause me harm. For the people who were offended: If it doesn't apply let it fly.
She’s 10000% right and the people triggered are putting their hands over their eyes and pretending they don’t see the problem and choosing to be hurt over truth
As a black woman from the hood who moved out, I’ve realized I’m uncomfortable around hood people too. You are not alone. I went through enough trauma living there. There were amazing people there who I still talk to and visit once in a while but they don’t have the hood mentality and that’s the difference. I remember being bullied for being smart, speaking proper English, etc etc etc. I remember hearing gunshots late at night . Seeing blood on the sidewalks when going to school. I remember my house being almost broken into when my grandma and I were alone inside. So no. I am not comfortable around hood people.
A black friend once complained about the suburb of Detroit where he was living, "This place is getting too ghetto." BTW, the original ghettos were in Europe, where Jews were restricted to living. In Venice, Italy in the 1500 Jews were forced to live near the iron foundry, ferroghetto in Italian. It's interesting how the Italian word for foundry now means a place where black folks live.
The guy said if you're in the hood and you minding your business, hood people would leave you alone--that's a damn lie, its plenty of times I was going about my day and minding my business and I got robbed, things thrown at me, I witness shoot outs etc I been out the hood since the late 90s and I'm never going back.
People always say things like that. I've seen comments from people saying they lived in Detroit, Baltimore etc and it's not as bad as it seems just mind your business. Bs!!! And they always say people in the hood look out for each other...yeah maybe at times but don't give people the impression they should trust people in the hood
Hood people have nothing to live for and if they see people who has inspirations and who is succeeding in life, they will try to bring you down on their level. As I mentioned before, I lived hood free since the early 2000s and I'm never going back because I have no reason to....If you go to the hood, you're going to see the same people doing the same thing which is nothing..its not a race thing because I been to other hoods and its the same
Sigh I can't even get a 2nd date or call back cuh im lame. In school, got a whip, pay for dates, my own space, but I'm lame 😢 it's a cruel world. I gave up on dating and just working on me. See them in ten years when it'll be too. Late 😒
Reminds me of the black Jamaican vacation property owner who said she would no longer rent to black Americans and promptly got dumped on for it. Rather then getting mad at people for speaking the truth I think people should get mad at the people who makes these unfortunate truths.
I'm Caribbean and I 100% side with that Jamaican lady. This is the reason why Caribbean and Africans prefer to distance ourselves from black Americans cause alot have this mentality AND this their "black culture" the one true version of being black and I had countless black Americans try to force via shaming and gaslighting (like in this video) to force me to believe in their dogma, to praise degeneracy and self destruction. It's like a cult. My mother is in her 70s and said this is how they were in her day. There is reason Caribbean ppl are warned before going to the states. Unfortunately I gave black Americans with this thinking the benefit of the doubt and got shamed. Never again
You forgot Paterson NJ. I’m from Hackensack, and I briefly moved to both Paterson NJ and Harlem NY. Paterson was far worse. There would be regular shootings in Harlem for sure, but TYPICALLY (not always), no one bothered you unless you were involved in something. Paterson people are absolute nut cases who will start attacking you out of absolutely nowhere. Seriously. As soon as they sense that you’re not from there, they will try to jump you.
I lived in South Florida and lived in Baltimore. I hate living in certain areas cuz you can't have shit. You can't have too many people visit your place cuz you don't know if they're gonna get robbed. The list goes on. These folks are talking straight out of their asses
Ghetto is a way of being, acting, speaking, and behavior. I live in a mostly Latino city and there’s plenty of ghetto 🗑️ here. I live in the middle of it and am always strapped bc of that.
This reminded me, years ago husband and I went to Jersey for his friends funeral and after we went out to eat and drink with group of his old coworkers and on way back to hotel he got lost and we ended up in Camden. It’s like 11:30 on a Friday night, seemed like everyone who lived on block was standing out on the sidewalks hanging out and they’re all staring at us as we slowly drive by, we were like only car driving down this street. We stop at stop sign or red light and group of 7-10 guys (not gonna lie, looking a little intimidating) come up to our car and knock on window. He rolls it down and they’re like “do you guys need some help?” (Or can we help you, something along those lines.) Husband tells them what happened and they nicely give us detailed directions and tell us to be safe and be more careful next time. Fun times 😂 but we were much more careful after that.
She's only saying what many, many black people would agree with. I'm black and all my black relatives who are good loyal Democrats and hate Trump and were walking in the Black Lives Matter marches in their white neighborhoods wouldn't dream of living around "hood" black people. For myself, I wouldn't say in general I'm nervous and anxious as much as disgusted and depressed.
it's about aspirational character attributes: nobody is born "hood", they choose to participate in a particular method of social expression and that often comes packaged with a value system as well. can you choose a la carte and affect the mannerisms of a group without espousing or living the value system? absolutely. is it common for those things to go together for many people? also absolutely.
Oh, gwad, why are these people in their feelings. She said what she said; she's uncomfortable; it's not an attack. Take accountability for the toxicity that is the "hood."
No one wants to live in a place where children are shooting eachother, windows get busted for living on the wrong street, or seeing ppl get beaten bloody then try to get in ur back door screaming for help. These are real examples from coworkers that were ex gang members that now make real money the legit way and moved into safer neighborhoods.
I live in the hood in Brooklyn. They're right that not everyone here is a 'hood person' but there's a reason these places are the way they are and on the first really nice day here in the city, the inhabitants are proving why this woman feels uncomfortable around the people who live in these types of places. Black friends who live outside the hood refuse to come visit because they KNOW where I live and what that means!
I'm glad people are starting to wake up. I remember being ostracized by everyone I met in the Bronx because I was well-spoken (aka acting white), and I valued my grades over everything else. I'm grateful I was able to come to this understanding at a young age and distance myself entirely from the ghetto culture.
The guy isn’t wrong about white people having a fear of the trailer park. I lived across from the trailer park when I was growing up and sow shit that’s completely normal for the trailer park community.
Try being from the trailer park and white. They get treated like that too with the same of assumptions. Drugs, fights, etc. There are some of the most giving sweet people living in the trailer park.
Yeah, definitely. There is a difference between being trailer trash and living in a trailer park. One deals drugs and steals your shit and the other one is simply living not as fortunate. Its the same thing for black people.
I love that the people that *no one* would ever classify as “hood” are the ones getting offended. You can be from the hood and not “hood”. Everyone knows whats being said. They’re making the choice to be offended.
