Alot of these are pretty valid honestly.   

Some of the questions were valid, some of them sound like shit bougie black people bring up to try and distance themselves from other black people.

fvvvv

Anybody that isn't seen as stereotypically black growing up in the black community is automatically labeled bougie though. We probably would be.   

!!!

A lot of black people who get labeled as bougie usually have some internalized resentment from being rejected by other black people in their own communities.

maybe
but not from what I've seen
if anything, people perceive successful black friends/family in a different way and place them in that "bougie" area. not the other way around.

the terms ghetto and bougie
are horrible

[throwintheTAL]

I called them bougie based off their mannerisms and voices

I can't really blame Timothy for being "bougie" after growing up in a predominately black school system and being outcasted by his community because he liked soccer instead of basketball, preferred rock to hip hop and wore vests and suits instead of jordans/baggy mess.

Alot of people carry that into their adulthood subconsciously.

I won't blame Keisha for being "ghetto" either for being shipped off to private school her whole life not and being able to relate to all the diversity and being outcasted because she grew up and was only exposed to a certain black culture.

People are just different

then you'll be disgusted to know I think Kenya is the queen of bougie.

But she's bougie by my definition. It really shouldn't affect you.

but why the term bougie or ghetto
why not just a person, who happens to be black, living life?

The video is definitely valid. Some questions may be ehhh but alot were on point.  I feel like black people are harder on black people than anybody else sometimes. It aint always about socioeconomic, opportunities, blah blah blah. A girl wont perm her hair and alot would swear she's mother earth,  india arie or some shit.  That monolithic comment,  alot of black people voted for obama just on the strength of him being black and definitely at other black people for voting any other way.  I don't think ud hear too many white, asian, WHATEVER give intelligence this negative connotation and use it in a way to question their whiteness
Im sure they aren't saying with the video that this shit is true for every black person ever, but it happens enough that it warrants discussing DEFINITELY

IDK hun but that's why I used quotation marks.

The bigger question is why these are seen as negative traits. Bougie is debatable but why is ghetto always seen as a bad thing?[/color]

It can go both ways.

From my experience, I've seen some black people taunt and antagonize other black people who are "different" or "alternative". That can lead to bitterness, embarrassment, and wanting to disassociate yourself for feeling rejected by those within your own race.  These people weren't necessarily wealthy either, just working class folk who were perceived as different.

Not that their internalized resentment is the right way to go about things.

But that's the problem

Blacks are so quick to KI and CACKLE at everybody else but let a black gur question something in the black community and they get easily offended. They're quick to dismiss it.
