www.6zeros.net Absolutely, it is word bait. She is acting no better than the so-called "journalists" that push opinions as fact and cause issues for everyone. They are just looking for money and clicks, they don't care what words mean.
Is she the problem for using the word or are y’all the problem for fixating on the word so much that you totally overlook the point?
Word bait is word bait. Even if it is used to push across a good message, it is done with the intent to go viral and there is a lot of self-centernessed in it. Maybe I am looking too deep but I have a hard time these days separating a cause or positive message from people with selfish intentions on social media.
Yes I agree. The term "hood" is a black term
Do you think "hood" and "ghetto" have different meanings? How would you describe Nas, is he street, city, or simply a black man? Just asking. I always felt a hood was an area and a ghetto was an living situation the culture that follows. What do you think?I agree with her and I wouldn’t associate hood and hip hop because A Tribe Called Quest ain’t hood, Nas ain’t hood, they are products of it but it doesn’t define them and their contribution to the art.
The problem is a lot of Black Americans associate hood and depravity with Blackness which inspired this article:
Culture - Your Definition of Blackness is Keeping You Mentally Trapped
By J. Marcase Is “Black” a race, a skin tone, a nationality, or a way of thinking? Like all arbitrary terms, each answer could be true or false depending on who you ask. More insidious, is what this word can mean to one on a subconscious level. To some, the word Black is synonymous with...
Now it being a corporate creation to me is a stretch. It wasn’t a creation of them, it was a byproduct of the the depravity we were forced into due to white supremacy. But the corporations saw it and packaged it up and sold it for profit.
Why did she use the term "hood"? It's a black term. Whose attention did she want?
Isn't this part of our culture though? Being locked out of the system leading to "hoods"?
The negative impact changed the culture in America and you can see the change in this through the music alone and the encouragement of living a "thug life" while promoting women to be objects. They destroyed the family system and sadly, this is the root of a lot of issues in America for black families. We need to empower our own and take back our culture.
Yes. I don't see why people are intellectualizing the conversation. I'm from the hood and we called it the hood, said "so and so is hood", and so I don't see why there is confusion now. We use that term ourselves.
No, I think they are the same. If you write out a couple sentences you can see that the words are interchangable.
Jews release this music though. If you're talking about anything other than the above the Jews ain't going to promote you.
I know. I got into arguments over this. I don't know what their agenda is but they clearly only care about money.
I agree the words are interchangeable. I may be thinking too hard, but I was taught that ghettos were created, like projects. I just was a hood as a black neighborhood, not really a dangerous or deprived place, well maybe a little. But you're right, they are interchangeable. I think ghetto is phasing out like projects did, at least where I'm from.
Has there ever been a group of men that didn't see women as objects? Not whole groups, but segments of all people see women that way.
I get it that why the balance between theoretical and real-world is important. Because theoretically and academically you're spot on but in real world usage there is no distinction.
A lot of women even objectify themselves so it's a lot larger than just men. It's likely the overarching culture.
I think individually women may have objectified themselves in the past, but I've never heard of a culture of women who do that until recently.
That is a fair point that needs to be addressed. I mean men are visual and are stimulated by a woman's appearance. There is nothing wrong with that but to be viewed as an object (and treated as such) is where things become a problem.
Yes I agree with you. You're always going to have a group of women who sell themselves, but those women will be 10 to 100 men who visit them in the brothels, now they are websites. Men have made it clear that they publicly enjoy and want this. But women should always be discreet about what we do, from our sex lives to our recipe books. It's just part of being a woman in my opinion. If you are okay being a sex worker, that's fine, and maybe a day laborer will be with you when you retire, and you have to be okay with that. But if you want more than the laborer, you can not behave that way.
If a woman wants to sell her body, she can you are right and that is her call but acting like you deserve the husband, the kids, and the house while doing it makes no sense. If you act like a hoe, you will end up getting treated like one. I don't hold that against men. That is on the women.
I feel that casual sex is for more mature single women. You have to learn have to navigate your culture and men before you can truly understand what you're getting into. You can be casual with one man for 5 years, or 5 men in 1 year. Each have their place. But young women do not know how to handle it the way an older woman can, when they are mature. I don't think casual sex is good for men or women in their formative years, but even less so for younger women.
For sure. I really do feel like for some people, casual commitment is the best road but not for most. Most women and most men need to feel desired and appreciated by one partner. I think you are right that these emotions and feelings don't happen until people hit their 30s which is somewhat of a bad thing for women. Like say a dude has his ish together and is 33 looking to marry. He is going to go for someone who is younger and able to provide children without struggle, he won't date around his age as women's fertility declines after the age of 30.
I know right, lol. I think hood culture is mix prob mostly black but a mix of other cultures. Corporate? They created hood culture???? Maybe profit from it but a lot of entities profit from it. Dude your worst than her for even signal boosting this stupidity. With all do respect.
Yeah I thought that was a major stretch. Corporations didn’t start hood culture at all.
Read the Destruction of Black Civilization by Chancellor Williams. Shit ain’t supernatural or extraterrestrial we fell off because we was slippin. We had everything and people saw it and came to conquer. No reign lasts forever was Rome toppled by aliens? Nah the Germans got they ass
We are not special. We are the global underclass and we have to be realistic as to why. Look at the Moors for example, did extraterrestrials have a hand in their defeat? No. In fighting, lack of unity, lack of an agenda made a way for their enemies to infiltrate and kill them off.
Yall need to come back to Earth.Yall sound like yall still sleep. If we are the same THEN WHY are we different colors with different hair textures.
While also minimizing any of their negatives. For instance, White people's drug usage dwarf Black Americans but look at how it's framed in the media. We're looked upon as the drug users and White people are looked upon as wholesome and pure.

You were mentioning that our fate was at the hands of something supernatural and that is what I was responding to. We are people just like everyone else we bleed just like everyone else and our Empire rose and fell like everyone else's.
