Just because you’re born Black doesn’t make you one of us…?

I understand when people mention “acting White” and “acting Black.” Stereotypes and culture go hand in hand. Not everything about one’s culture may be perfect, but it is what makes a certain group of people who they are. It’s an identity. Just because you’re born Black doesn’t necessarily make you one of us.. Just like being born male and being over the age of 18 doesn’t necessarily make one a man… You’re a man when you have become responsible and made your own way in life, and can provide for/take care of yourself ( and others ).

Out of the Blacks I have seen on this website, less than 10% of you would honestly fit into a Black setting. In fact, a lot of you on here would be treated worse than most Whites in a Black setting. Black people don’t call things ‘ghetto.’ Black people like to have fun. We talk in slang. We like hip hop and R&B. Our women are renown for their curvaceous figures ( and mega booties ). We like to smoke weed. We’re aggressive people, as a result of oppressive conditions. Money is the be-all that ends all to us, because most of us didn’t come from any. We’re street smart, because, let’s face it.. coming from a Black neighborhood, you have to be. It’s how we’re raised. Image means a lot to us, because we’re so used to not having sh t. We like big rims. Looks sexy. We prefer sneakers ( even the chicks ). Especially J’s. If you have never rocked a pair of J’s, you simply cannot call yourself Black. I’m sorry. If you have to question this, you’re White. Simple as that. We have all gotten into a couple of scuffles growing up. It happens. We’re Black, and we deal with adversity. Dealing with adversity, it’s fight or flight mode. Besides, being Black is tough, so there’s that perpetual chip… Couple other things like drinking koolaid, eating collard greens, and yes.. even stealing. Lol. I’m Black, and I know all of us steal. It’s in our blood. If I ever respond to a White person saying this, it’s only to intimidate them, not because they’re being racist or lying. just for the lulz. There are just certain things we, as Black people, go through together.. and are able to connect on the shared experiences.

Stop acting like Black stereotypes are a bad thing. That’s our culture. Culture is where stereotypes stem from. Russians and Irish people drink. A lot. Is it a stereotype? Yes. Is it also true? Yes. Are they ashamed? Hell no. So, why should you be ashamed for any Black stereotype, good or bad? Be proud of who you are and your culture. Take the bad with the good. Are most Black people loud and obnoxious? Hell yeah. Are Black people physically superior, and make for the greatest athletes? Sh t yea.
If you don’t follow the traditions of a certain culture, then how can you claim a piece of it? You might have been born Black, but you certainly wouldn’t fit into a Black setting.. Hypothetically speaking, if a “Black” man joined a neo-nazi movement.. Yeah, his skin is Black.. but, seriously…
If you face ostracism from your own ethnic group, you’re said ethnicity by complexion only.. Example: Obama is embraced by the entire African American community, but Michael Steele ( Republican Chairman aka Uncle Tom ) is totally rejected by the Black community. Why? Let’s be honest. He’s an uncle tom, a**-kissing coon playing for the wrong team, and he talks like he’s a White guy from Kansas…

What do you think about this article on hyphy?

What’s up with this Hyphy Movement? I hear the question more and more frequently, yet didn’t stop to think about it until just the other day. Therefore, I want to shed some light for the rest of the folks out there wondering why they keep hearing the word ‘hyphy’. The word ‘hyphy’ means, in essence, exactly what it sounds like, hyper, crazy, and wild.

Walking through the popular dance club ’Itz’ to the beat of E-40’s “U and Dat”, I approached one of the locals, and asked him if he knew what he was dancing to. “. . .uh, I think it‘s Crunk…”, is all he could breathlessly yell above the din before continuing on with his animated dancing.

Let me just explain. hyphy is not crunk, but it is the Bay Area idea of what Crunk should be. Moreover, I have to say that after listening to the album that began the mainstream dedication, “My Ghetto Report Card”, I agree. Full of energetic, blatant sexuality, and the lack of that southern need to scream nonsense repetitively, hyphy seems like the perfect antidote to crunk.

The word ‘hyphy’ is said to be coined by none other than Keak Da Sneak, first being used in 1998 on the album ‘Sneakacydal’. As a child, Keak had an ability of coming up with interesting words that somehow fit into daily vocabulary. However, Keak’s usage of the word did not begin to take effect on the hip-hop world until late 2000, waiting even longer to seep into mainstream America. As always, it seems, we can accredit the Bay Area once again for bringing around a change in society.

Some say that this culture phase will not stand the test of time, but it seems as though it already has. Even though hyphy is sweeping the world, many are still loyal to crunk. When the next new thing comes on the scene, many will still prefer hyphy. It’s safe to say that hyphy will grow and evolve with us, changing just as much as we do. Like it or not, hyphy is here to stay.

One Bay area resident mentioned that last time he remembered hyphy was just a dance. “The next morning, I woke up, and there it was – more than a dance, it was a lifestyle”. The hyphy lifestyle is about ‘going dumb’, or ‘riding the yellow bus’, and that doesn’t mean revering ignorance, it means celebrating life. Dancing, stunting, and flambosting, are all important elements of today’s hyphy nation. If you need me to explain that to you, then maybe you really just don’t get it.

That’s what’s up with this hyphy movement. Next time you hear something about it, maybe you will be able to explain it better than your own teenager. Just remember to explain the way it feels. It’s not necessary to use dictionary English words. Be free, and be creative, after all, that’s hyphy.
