Why is this such a precedent in the black community, where if you're labeled as "corny," you're not taken seriously? And then slum slaves who've been in shootouts and other ghetto activity get more respect?
Are we doomed? Let's discuss

Is this secretly about Ci becoming Whitewashed and corny a bit

ddddd ok this makes sense now
BTW no one has respected Ci even since B.I when she got outsold 1st week by Keri twice in a row
This has nothing to do with Ci. This is something that I saw happening constantly, especially while going to a predominantly black school, which, thank God, I never have to do again

this is more about the thought process of blacks who compute anything outside of hood behavior as corny or lame.
It's a topic closely related to hyper-masculinity, but not one that is brought up enough

Intelligence is such a turn on for me.
Like huge turn on.
Strong sense of responsibility and leadership.
Ambition.
Key things I look for in a man - aside from the initial physical attraction.
I'm very careful of who I associate myself with. Too much going on right now for me to be playing stupid games.
since Ciara was brought up, this reminds me of thousands of niggas that tried to discredit Russell for being a "corny" and believed Future was a better fit for Ci because he's not corny, a real recognizes real type a nigga :dead:

I definitely know what you mean, Talisa. I grew up around it. Thankfully, I didn't turn out like any of those toxic turds.
because it is toxicity in the end
I see so many black people putting on thicker, southern accents that are so obviously false. The challenge to not come off as corny is running rampant in the black community. Why don't we encourage each other to be ourselves more?
Yeah this is about ci
Tal is pissed.. that video did a number
Eh
I mean, a so called ?hood person? could be considered corny tbh
Every thing you said is so true. You have to be retarded not to get this.
Black people are LATE

oh okay!
Well I get what you mean-- I guess I definitely fall more into that category over a HOOD mess
Although I click and get along with the hood gworls I don't particularly act like that

I think w/ Ci its a two-part discussion
I think that definitely falls into what you were talking about though In some senses because the hood definitely loves future lolz
But overall I think that for Ci, many girls just didn't seem to see how Russell and Ci would "click" because she was a....hood girl..at first.
So w/ Future it made sense --outside of him being a fuck nigga
I couldn't wrap my head around Ci and Russell's connection at first, until I saw that she became a Valley Girl
Quote from: Two Spirit on October 23, 2018, 09:07:50 AM
Only real criteria for a one night stand mess is the physical attraction and "swag".
Am mean, let's be real. Hood niggas are sexy.
But you gotta really dig deep for husband material. A (reasonably lengthy) checklist comes out and you really evaluate someone for filth.
Very true.
Although for me, Dave East is "bring him home to Momma" material :justabit:
This is a good point.
This could even extend past 'corniness'. Black people tend to ostracize or look down on other blacks who aren't 'black' enough.
I read an interesting Twitter thread about creativity/nerdiness in brown Asian girls; how it's acceptable for girls in their culture to be intelligent enough to get good grades but still be girly and feminine, while if a girl is too creative or too much of a nerd, it's a bad thing.
It all just boils down to people being close-minded.
Well, what do we consider "corny"?
Cause to me, Rocstar (LAHH) is corny AF and he's "hood.
Also I think that a big part of it is we as society view being "black" as having a certain bit of "soul"/"sass"/and "swag" that other races just simply don't have.
From being able to dance
Being raised in the Black church & the "extraness" that comes with that etc..
So when we see someone who's "out of the norm" or away from the stereotype, many gorls will give a (http://i64.tinypic.com/2rhphqr.jpg) kinda mess to those anomalies that stick out
:dead:
Quote from: Two Spirit on October 23, 2018, 10:55:11 AM
There are plenty of "hood" men out there who are great people and are very intelligent.
I never let a certain accent, or "swag" , define how good of a person someone is. That's simply a result of their environment in most cases.
But there's only but so far the hood tea will take someone - unless you're gunning for a rap career. It has to be toned down at some point for success in corporate America. You have to play the game.
If by a certain age someone hasn't realized that, it's probably best that we keep our interaction short and sweet.

Doesn't mean they're a bad person, just means that we may have different outlooks.
!!!!!!!
But sis my inner HOODLUM wants to creep on OUT a bit :plzstop:
I told my Mom this weekend I either want a small face or neck tattoo and she looked at me like I had lost my mind sdddddddd
I'm the ONLY person in my entire fam with a tattoo mess dddd
I just LOVE tats sssss
but then I think about maintaining my career and pushing it further and I realize how hard it would be to do so while having a certain image that may turn heads

At my core, I'm honestly hood as fuck. Get me angry enough and it comes right on out.
That sassy fag from Southside Jamaica Queens will let you have it. Real quick.
So there's nothing wrong with loving where you come from and embracing that.
I love reppin' the hood. It's taught me a lot of things.
So this isn't me sitting here trying to bash hood people. I'm from the hood.
Hmmmmm
I?m more country than hood tbh.

That's exactly how I feel.
I think a feeling of superiority might have something to do with it. If you're a (for lack of a better phrase) hood black person and you come across a well mannered, "model citizen" black person, you're probably going to feel threatened or feel like you're less than them intellectually. Which will in turn resort to you calling them corny in an effort to belittle them and make yourself feel like you came out on top.
This was an excellent read

she's been valley for a long time so I never thought her and Future made sense. Because, to her core, she's more posh than not. She was 8 when she moved to Atlanta so that hood girl persona was never fully engrained in her.

A child that has travelled a lot within the formal operational stage of their life will find it hard to have an engrained personality. Our surroundings greatly affect our view of the world. Ci's kept changing because she was an army brat so it makes sense that she has a personality of her own that is sometimes not identifiable.
That also explains why she repped Atlanta so hard. That was the 1st place that probably felt like home

I completely see the point Talisa is making and completely agree with it. As someone that's attracted to the "nerdy" type and has a complete distaste for anything "hood" I totally relate. But I'm curious about something...
Is this in any way related to why you said in the other thread that you're bound to end up with someone white?

I'm sure other races deal with this. It can become as broad as "cool ppl vs. lames" but I don't see it inhibiting the growth of other races like I see it happening with my own people.
I've seen a number of black ppl get discouraged from not fitting into the cool category, so much so that they'll give up on their dreams or positions, because of those now ingrained feelings of inadequacy

It was sexual assault actually. My masculine spirit touched my feminine spirit very intimately without permission :stressed:
To me, corny and weird used to be something to scoff at but now it?s a thing people embrace about themselves.
Growing up, l wasnt a popular guy. L was considered weird too because l was always off to myself with my walkman. As l got older, personality wise i grew of course but yeah. I do get a lot of the points made in here.
To me, now it?s cool to be weird versus how ?cool? it was to be a street boy when l was growing up
Hdhdhjd
I prefer corny guys. They?re mire fun and relaxed and not trying to give an image 24/7.
