Stop basing your "community" or your "people" based on color. Your community and "people" should be people that have similar beliefs, goals and ambitions. Not because they look like you.

I got that too, the talking white thing. Why is it striving and speaking well - being white. What an insult!

@@mistermr.6938 thing is, people do both at the same time. People want to be around others with the same ideas and beliefs and behaviors. And the easiest identifiers are physical and visible. “Acting white” just means that you don’t act the way that people I want to be around do. Moreover, you act the way the “other” group does. If your color is very important to you, and your culture is important to you, then those lines become blurred.

As a teacher of 13/14 year old kids, I see blacks being meaner to each other than whites would ever dream of being. All races have bullies- but the successful black students are bullied by blacks who hate school and hate society norms. I’m old but we didn’t do that - why are we going backwards? I know it’s not “cool” to do well in school- but it’s really hard for my black students 😢 They are strong and will succeed- their white friendships and blacks with similar beliefs will support them.

@@valmuniz6222 I'm White. My sister was a teacher, for about 30 years, in an Inner-City Neighborhood (Grades 2 - 4). Back in 1993, I remember her saying some Students would shame other students who were doing their work, & trying to succeed. They'd scold them with the phrase, "What? You trying to be White?" I was shocked!! I had no idea how difficult it was, for Inner City students who wanted to "succeed". I realized they had to be really STRONG, to continue on the path to success, because they had so many people who were trying to tear them down.

She is.

@@cbogolo not a female. You had to have a center crease or you weren't sharp in the 70s.

Not always. But yea usually it’s a dude making a deal for his benefit. Most don’t tho cuz I end up underground. But even just a Witnesses agree to testify is also deemed a snitch. And puts they life at risk. It’s not just about being involved. Cops already know they won’t get any info at all from neighborhood. Bc everyone knows- u don’t talk to cops. It’s ingrained into the dna at this point. Siding on the side of the criminal will forever keep this shit alive.

They alll got snitch wrong sadly

I think how the word is being used in that culture is a snitch is anyone who talks to the police or other authority figure and gives out information about a crime/ something someone shouldn't have done.

@@backtoasimplelife I think you're right. I just think there is a difference. And that difference matters.

I call them punk's or vermin. Too many so called 'thugs' consider the term as flattery 🙄

bingo

My dad was like that too. He taught us absolutely no hats on at the dinner table. Now my boys do not wear hats at the dinner table they immediately take them off when they sit down.

Just stopping thru to say 850 STAND UP! (born & raised in both Montclair & Crescent Lake) Anyway, big ups to your pops and to you... your dad sounds like he was a great man, a guy I'd like to meet.

Anywhere there are people trying to do well for themselves, there are people nearby wishing they wouldn't.

In VT I was always accused of being a rich snob just because I dressed half way decent. I just was a shy poor kid that knew how find treasures at the thrift store. I tried to tell them where to find the good stuff but they were too good for the thrift store. Some people...

My mom did the same thing and worked herself like a DOG! She works harder than 2 men half her age still 🤣 but anyway, she struggled with depression BADLY, and they didn't do a lot of medication for depression back then, nor could we have afforded it if they did. So she had to figure out how to cope and still function to be there for us kids. She would wake up, make her bed, get dressed and ready for her day, do something with her hair and use a bit of makeup and perfume. Then she'd clean up the house so that she "didn't get dragged down by the mess." That's how she battled it. She didn't always feel like it, and people judged her as snobby and some even called her a whore because she was always "made up," but she felt better about herself when she looked good and THAT kept her from sinking in her depression. She gave me the same advice when I was horribly depressed and she'd call for progress updates 😂 not to ask how I felt, because she said that always made her feel worse, buy she'd ask if I did my hair, makeup, made my bed.. to take my mind to a productive place rather than the rut I was in. It probably saved me.

@@libertybell8852 Your Mom was a smart lady. And in her darkest time, passed on her values and experience to you, to help you. Probably the most important thing she did for you. 💖

@@ruthsaunders9507 Exactly. Me too

Hollywood did that! Started back in the 80’s

hell the word Thug is from Thuggee in India which were not very nice guys lol

Lefty society? You genuinely believe that people on the right do not propagate these same negative stereotypes? When good ole boys see a black man jogging, assume he must be a criminal running from a crime and shoot him dead in the street: what exactly do you think is going on?

They live in Victimhood. They have to make Everything about they are the Victim when in Truth they be the Attacker They be Scamming and they just can't Stop Scamming it is the Criminal Mind Set and when they are Caught it's Racism it's Everything and Anything and Anyone but them the Criminal doing Felony Crime and Attacking Law Obeying Citizens and they need Something to justify there Felony Criminal Attack many Times on White Woman and Many of Times the Attacker is a Black Teenage Convicted Felon that is Doing the Attack on the White Woman and that is a Fact of Todays World in these Democrat Areas thanks to Democrats Soft on Felony Crime. and there is Many White Woman and Men that want to be and have Children with a Black Person just so they can Show Everyone how Non-Racist they are for Nothing Says I'm not a Racist as White Woman Giving birth to Black Kids or a White Man having a Black Woman Give Birth to his White Kids and it all Go's Wrong when the Criminals come Knocking and there are Lots of Criminals/Underage Criminals in Democrat areas so you don't have to Wait very long. just Saying Careful who you have in your Life and who you have around your home and Children and don't do something so Stupid so Show anyone your not a Racist for if anyone Thinks your a Racist That's there Problem for they will Always think your a Racist No matter What you do and they will only end up Taking you for Everything you have. Just Saying put Good Law obeying Citizens in your life Race and Color Don't matter What they Stand for and What there About Means much Much Much more. People who have Felony Convictions and been in Prison and are or was Criminals/Underage Criminals is not what you want in your Life no matter if there Family or not or your partners Family don't have them around and in your or your Children's lives it will be only Trouble for you and your Children. I'm just Saying Don't live that high risk Lifestyle for Bad Things happen to People who do live that high Risk Lifestyle

Ask yourself this: Was it black culture that pushed "thug life" down the population's throat, like it was something to look up to?

It was the 90s, which caused much OF black culture to go DOWNHILL C DELORES TUCKER tried to warn us 😔😵

That “black” music from mid last century was fire. Great stuff.

I was just coming to say the same thing. I'm old enough to remember the huge impact that black musicians had on the early years of rock music. Little Richard, the Supremes, the early days of the Jackson Family when MJ was a little kid, Earth Wind and Fire. I could go on and on. Rap music had the potential to become something akin to bardic poetry and I am sad that the early potential was perverted in the 'gansta' culture

@@karladenton5034 i friggin love Earth Wind and Fire. They came to my town but the tickets sold out before I could go.

@@karladenton5034 Completely agree. I’m 26, but I started working in nursing homes around 7 years ago and the music that my black residents would request really opened my eyes to the shift in black music

What people call black culture is really hand me down red neck/cracker culture. We “adopted” their culture because we lived with them during and after slavery. If you look up how southern white people were described it’s a one for one comparison to how Black people today are described.

The why are Hispanic men the second most criminals after black men? Do you think bonnets are worse than criminals Hispanics?

Everyone is good, so the whole trashing on "white people" has to stop by everyone as well. Its not normal or nice behaviour and seeing people who are also half white and half black repeating stuff like this about their own families for a handout and favouritism, I wouldnt say this is a great part of this culture. There is one thing to give praise but for a family or culture to succeed you need to call out your own bullsh1t as well. Noone is just beautiful or amazing just because they are black and this goes the same for any "community" and the excessive praise for a skin colour or sexuality needs to calm down

Thanks for sharing and same with my Latino brothers and sisters, I love you all just the same.🖤❤🤎

Loved your comment so true, ( visual language) that’s a perfect way of looking at it thank you. Big wave from Australia 👋

No this hasn’t nothing to do with when you’re young . Excuses. You’re part of the problem..

Black culture created jazz and blues, two very American inventions, they influenced rock music and other genres. Original rap music from the 80s genuinely expressed the black experience. However there were many opportunists who cashed in on black anger, the whole thug life and gangsta culture being cool, meanwhile those pushing the songs, lyrics and attitudes got rich while black on black crime stats rose. You’re right about the tribal attitudes, promoted by the far left through constant BS terms such as racism, white supremacy etc. Play on their inferiority complex and innate victimhood to exploit them. Look at the political spectrum to see who wants to exploit blacks politically, luckily it looks like more and more ‘minorities’ are waking up to the manipulation and saying ‘no more!’.

African Americans and people from the islands ( Jamaica, Trinidad, west india ) have 2 different cultures Don't lump them together

@@ralphpal what?? I never brought up people from the islands and I certainly wasn't lumping anyone together. That is literally the entire point of my post, that we should not be lumping people together. That there is no single way to be black or express yourself as a black person. I was simply discussing my friend's experience as a way to illustrate that point. And I clearly said that not everyone does that to him and many people in the black community treat him no differently and praise his successes. I suppose I could have put the caveat that we live in America, but I thought that was a given, as the video was discussing being black in the U.S. I am not pretending to know even the first thing about the black community in other areas of the globe. But I'm not disparaging anyone from a particular part of the world, nor am I generalizing all black people from all countries. I only dislike the people, of ANY race and from any nation, who try to dictate to others how they should behave or present themselves simply because of their race.

You wrote a whole book about your friend. If you care about black people, fight racism.

It’s class/- socioeconomic. It takes hours to do a black womens haur, a bonnet makes it so that she saves money and takes her hair down for work and other events. But we don’t care, right?
