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

   

The video wreaks of that looking down on others thing you touched on. After watching some of the other clips, I can see these videos were done in jest. But being that black people are some of the most oppressed humans in history, we don't need to be highlighting a bunch of stereotypes for ppl to kii at.

I didn't get TOO much of that honestly.

IDK but I feel like things just need to be discussed a bit more often so the gurs wouldn't get so offended all the time. If we claim to be so "woke" these days then why are we as a community still such a mess? Seems like the gurs would rather wallow in misery and off each other, stay divided and blame the government and honkies for our problems instead of coming together as a community to try and make some change. We all know things were put in place to keep blacks down and out of power in America, but alot of gurs seem to be satisfied with it.

 

It's hard to base a conversation off of what stereotypes exist between a group of people because stereotypes, while some do stem from what we see in reality, are never going to be completely true. The ppl in the videos are living proof of that. And that makes it seem like stereotypes aren't even a real, tangible issue. So there's nothing even to discuss or a problem to solve. Perception is the real issue.

this is a world issue
i have the right to speak regardless of race
it doesn't mean i can identify with a race
but it doesn't mean i can't be apart of the conversation
we all live together

Oh stfu, people arent allowed to speak like they are so knowledgeable of a particular group if they don't dwell within that group.  I wish a white person would try to tell me about some shit that's going on within the black community, gtfoh

vonc, I dragged you in that Ci thread btw

Ralf is so full of shit, plea

[Kurama]

Aww Ralf

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.

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.

Wow. You slay. 

This is the sole reason why many biracial white/Black people are quick to blend into the Black community and raise their fist as a Black person. Their exotic features are worshipped by Blacks, Blacks are quick to claim mixed people as "Black"....."Oh she Black. She just light skindeeded and got some good hurr.That's all. She still just BLACK. She one of us ya'll!!! representin!!!!!!! heyyy! "

Why wouldn't they want to hang among Black people? And claim Black and nothing else. They're just seen as tainted mutts by other side of their families usually.  And many of them are discarded or grow up in white communities where they're treated like cow shit. Many people don't understand how someone could hate their own race but they never take the time to consider these possibilities.
