i'm not from the suburbs as my family and i lived a lower class lifestyle almost my entire life. but i can relate to the whole suburban black man having his manhood questioned. i'm 20 years old and lived in inner-city cincinnati yet i do not fit the discription of a thug. i never had money and i always been studious but yet my black manhood was always questioned.

i feel you. and when you reach your goals you will find out that racism and the hardships that inner city black men only claim to have is happening to all black men then you have won. like i said many black men confuse the black elite or upper class to that of black who just made it to the burbs and the middle class.

well- we only question black people's manhood when they move to the burbs'

No other group of men break thier necks to move close to the people who raped them.

thier manhood should be questioned.

raped who? please. the inner city rapes blacks more. How many black men live by the code of the streets that was taught to them by some rap song? huh? who controls rap. black men? stop with all that bullshit.

@ 215workhard --your "people" in the hood will fuck you over faster then you would know, in fact that is exactly why the hood stays exactly where it's at. A mass of uneducated, undisciplined fools with no self-esteem that constantly pull each other down like crabs in a barrel. The funniest part is not that you are backwards in itself but the fact that you truely do not get how backwards you are.

The thing dat pisses me off & is funny as hell is dat y is it dat black ppl from the hood especially males hate on black males born in the surburbs cuz they "not black enough" or "not a real nigga" but as soon as the hood niggas gets money, where do they run to? THE SUBURBS!!! LOL...or ...a dude from the hood who is smart & moves outta the hood is a "sellout" cuz he dont give back but a dude who is from the hood who is athletic and goes pro & dont give back is still a hero & role model like wtf

Pink elephant and others. The new era of enlightenment is upon us. We are able to convey ideas and attain knowledge via the Internet similarly to the rally's/ protest of the previous decade.

The fact that we have the opportunity to do so is utter greatness.

I complete feel you on this one. I had to pay my own way threw school. Only my dad worked. I'm always questioned just because i speak correctly and don't have my pants saggin. As black people we need to be united and stop challenging blackness based on class. That just keeps us divided.

When you really think about it both groups probably have more in common than not. Both classes have to receive a paycheck from somewhere rather than make it for themselves and both groups are often one paycheck away from total destitution.

Being middle class is a bit overhyped as far as I'm concerned. I want to be a part of the merchant class, making my own money & creating my own destiny.
