Cameras and the hood, just don't go together very well
Old fashion photography type cameras and 'da hood', just don't go together to well, if people see you with a old fashion photography type camera, they either think
1. You're a cop
2. A tourist
3. a nark, snitch
And that's about it.
Unless wearing a geeky shirt and tie, with badge on it that says 'The press', they'll think you're up to no good.
Also, if taking pics in general, I find it best to be on a bike, can get way better shots.
If in a car, always having cars behind you and not always good place to park.
On a bike you can capture very cool off the road pictures that you can't if in a vehicle.

Baseball park
City funded baseball parks in every city and town.
Most people visit such parks to play recreational sports, sporting leagues, church leagues, ect.
But where I live, it's not so much 'hood', but many Afro-American youth transverse through the park, or hang out there at night, and you can always tell, cause the next day, or week, litter everywhere.
Everyone else goes there to play sports, the Afro American youth, meaning under the age of 25, I guess go to the baseball park to toss litter everywhere, bottles, blunt wrappers, you name it.
And again, the surrounding neighborhood has homes, decent homes, but habitated by mainly Afro American community, cool, but why the gdm litter all the time?
I mean even when not living in the hood, why the litter??
I mean to just drop litter on a clean, freshly cut grass field, and see nothing wrong with that is odd to me.
Somethings missing in the brains of anyone who does that.

I mean everyone litters from time to time, tosses stuff out the window, but hood minded folks are the only class of people who seem to be OK with littering like right in their own environment, right where they walk, what kind of people are OK with stepping over trash in their own path and seeing nothing wrong with that?
And would 'you', want anyone with such a mentality moving into your neighborhood?...regardless of color, some Hill Billies do the same.
So it's not about color, it's about culture, mindset and mentality.
Even acting 'ghetto' is now a culture, when you think about it, cause most people who act ghetto or hood, when you think about it, it's not like they're living a impoverished life, so hood, or ghetto, really has become more of a culture or mindset rather than a fiscal reality that makes people act a certain way.
There are plenty of poor people who don't act ghetto or hood.

The hood is always so the same
Went out today, yesterday, into a few retail stores in the hood, discount clothing stores, a dollar store, and the people you see in them always the same.
Fat, over weight and atf.
And it's always females you see stumbling or waddling around in the isles, buying stuff just to buy stuff.
I'd have to be either younger or on viagra to be aroused by what I see in those stores, it's just not my vibe, that jumbo size, inflatable raft type of thighs, woman, with odd off color dagger like fingernails and all....that's just not my style.
One the other hand I did visit a non hood part of the city, as I was handing out promos, and on this side, it was clean, the females actually looked like females, were petite, young and pretty.
You could tell they just ate a better diet of food.
Not sure what hood women eat that makes them always look so heavy and swollen.
Even the males, in the not hood section of the city, just looked softer, almost 'cute'.
It was refreshing to be out of the hood for a while and see other parts of the community doing well.

I wonder if living around rural hill Billie's is as annoying as it is living around urban black folks, at least the kind who are loud.
In fairness, not all urban blacks are annoying to live around, not a joy, but not annoying either, it's just a certain element within the black hood areas that drive everyone insane, including probably other black folks.

The day, if it ever comes, where I don't have to live 100 miles from the nearest urban bred person, is the day I'll feel like I'm in heaven.
No thump thump music, no liter, just peace and quiet.
That, and anyone with a dog that barks at night.

Also, people in the hood are cheap, paranoid and don't buy anything from each other, as in if have a small business, they won't support you.
But they sure love flocking to Dollar stores and Walmarts and buying stuff from China and or Asians.

When you live in or around ghetto areas, you get to see first hand how people end up when they're mothers or parents didn't have plans for them in this world.
You drive up and down the street and see walking up and down the sidewalk just dead souled looking individuals, like day time zombies or something.
Usually males, just stumbling along on the sidewalk, with no apparent plan or aim in life other than just being here.
It's one of the most unmotivational things to have to observe daily on way to work.

I will say this about the hood and hood areas.
Black women really don't have a very good or broad selection of men to date.
Everywhere I go in the hood, women shop alone, dine alone, do everything alone or with other women, but you never see couples, black couples, just out together, shopping together, like I saw when I grew up.
It's almost like a non soxual Lesbian thing going on between black women in da hood, who do to the absencce of good solid mature men, are forced to lean upon one another for all support.
Seems men in da hood are needed but only while in bed.
Most males in da hood are just shaky, jitterous, mean, sumicious, and other inverted traits.
I'm talking older men over the age of 25.
Of course the younger males act immature, but you'd expect the older men to have matured and grown up once over the age of 25 or even 35....not always so in da hood.
So again, I do kind of feel sorry for women in da hood, who really do lack 'decent man selection' where they live and dwell.

Not all people of color dwell in, or have a 'hood' mentality

I'm not even sure if having a father in the hood matters anymore, as far as influencing youth to do better.
I mean if the father is from the hood, acts hood, than he himself won't know how to be a good parent.
I think women in the hood simply have to date outside the hood, if want to break that hood cycle.
But that's easier said than done, cause if all one knows is the hood, hood culture, hood people, than to them that's the Universe of life.

Comedians like Tracey Morgan really help keep the moral, and self image of 'blacks' downI mean in this video Tracy Morgan usage of the word 'ngga', in reference to himself and other males of color, has to be at least 200 times or more. To me it's a weakness and a sickness to always refer to self as derivative of derogatory term used by dominant class to refer to 'said' subject as being subhuman. ( In the past the n_gg_r term was used overtly by society, now it's used covertly, in private none public conversation by 'whites', 'hispanics', and even Asians) It's as if two classes of blacks struggle to distinquish themselves.. One class tries tirelessly to over come past issues, and to rise up and define self in honorable way with no link to oppressive colonial past. The other class is represented by the Tracy Morgan mentality, n-gga this, n-gga that ect. This class has such a damaged sense of self, that their only sense of self comes from self hate and loathing projected upon self by other such damaged souls. And this self hate is some how legitimized through pop culture many times, as in black comedians using the n-gga term even more than rappers, and of course rappers themselves who indulge in that lingo. No other race of men on the planet refer to themselves, define self, as derogatory term capturer's once used on them. View AttachmentIt's a sickness, a mental disorder, for one to always want to define self as 'dirt'. Even when free, to still want to refer to self, and others perceived as self as 'dirt', is nothing short of brain damage, or mental disorder, and explains much in the hood these days. The most anti black racist you'll find on all the planet exists in the urban hoods of U.S. And people like Tracy Morgan totally demonstrate how many in the hood define self, and others like self. I find it sick, and see the self destructive behavior it translates into. The above post is a 'blast from the past'...does it still apply? |
