This is going to be long- hear me out. You have a great point however On a deeper level what outside observers (YT ppl) often misunderstand about hood culture is that it is not a set of superficial lifestyle choices, aesthetic preferences, or "bad decisions." It is a deeply entrenched survival architecture designed to navigate multi generational, structural abandonment. When you are born into or trapped in this environment, "just pulling away" isn't a matter of willpower; it requires dismantling your entire framework for safety, identity, and economic survival. When the state does not guarantee your safety, the community must create its own governance. What YT ppl judge as "street codes" (like the rules against talking to law enforcement) are actually informal legal systems. In a vacuum of institutional protection, safety is maintained through a collective code of conduct and local accountability. Leaving that code behind means stripping yourself of your only protection. In the regular world, career mobility relies on resumes, degrees, and professional networks. ..In the hood, survival relies on social capital built through loyalty, presence, and reputation. If you cannot get a bank loan, your safety net is the neighbor who watches your kids or the person who lends you $50 for groceries. If you decide to "pull away" to pursue a mainstream path, you are often forced to sever these ties. To the community, leaving can look like a rejection or a betrayal of the collective survival pact. If your mainstream gamble fails, you could return to find your local social safety net entirely gone. Living in an environment with constant undercurrents of volatility, financial scarcity, and physical danger keeps the nervous system in a state of chronic hypervigilance (trauma response). Neurologically, when the brain is locked in survival mode, it prioritizes immediate, short term outcomes over long term planning. Asking someone in this environment to "just go to college" or "save for a down payment" is asking them to invest in a distant, hypothetical future while their immediate environment requires 100% of their cognitive energy just to make it through the week safely.

I think both sides are right. You are correct about what you said, but also you never had that type of lifestyle to be in the mindset to even think like that in the first place. That’s why there’s a disconnect, because you could never truly be in our shoes

@sharen mud: She needs to talk about how Nixon and Reagan flooded our neighborhoods with drugs. Talk about how the hood was government designed. Through white supremacy, red lining, banking, housing and employment discrimination. I love when white people talk about the black struggle. But they don’t talk about what created it. Don’t let these white people fool you.

I’m glad you’re speaking about it because everyone being mad at you is spreading it like wildfire in the very community that needs to hear it. Thank you. This is how you use your privilege to start a conversation

You are correct! I have thoughts on how this surveillance state/ internet ish is influencing people’s behavior. May I make a suggestion. Type all of that in a teleprompter app (CapCut has one built into their mobile app) so you don’t have to look down or away at the sheet.

Some subjects everyone isn’t equipped to speak on. I think that’s the point. All content does not have to be spoken on by every single individual. I really think the plot was missed and that was the point of majority of the comments.

It’s nothing he past! Red lining still exists today. Why there’s food deserts in the black communities. Under funded public schools. The elimination of DEI caused the lost of 300,00 black women and men jobs. The discrimination of the health system. Black people are not stagnant. White people are stagnant with their same old racism.

Atp they just want an issue with you regardless of who the “messenger” is. The facts remain the same that nobody deserves to 💀 in that way.
