I am a black woman from Chicago. I get what both sides of the argument. However, the greatest amount of harm I have survived has been at the hands of "hood" -people. That is not to say that I have not been harmed by any other demographic. In my experience, I have been harmed financially, physically, spiritually, and mentally the most by my skin-folk. Also, the odds of enduring random or unintentional acts of harm go up significantly while in the space of those who live with a hood mentality. The ability to consistantly take things too far is really the epicanter of my concern/fear. Even the smallest infraction even by mistake can lead to devistating outcomes.

This is a VERY dangerous conversation. If every Black person here was politically astute then I wouldn't classify this as dangerous, but because people are just giving their opinions, they are signing onto and promoting things they MIGHT NOT intend to do. This is a very dangerous conversation to have in THIS particular PUBLIC square. AND please learn the difference between the words HOOD, GHETTOS and HOOLUM. Thank you Dumebi Lea for putting this together in the manner you did.

You should be having this conversation with the hip hop community. All they do is perpetuate black people in the hood as bad and none of them are white, so I don’t know where this term white washing even comes from.. and this not an opinion.. it’s a fact.. all u got to do is turn on the tv.. snoop dogg crip walking at the Super Bowl tribute to hip hop and excellence in black culture.. sexy red twerking at the Grammys rapping about her booty hole getting awards, Gucci mane hollering he good rich, jeezy, 21 savage rapping about killing people.. it ain’t white washing, it’s hip hop washing get it correct.

Honestly i agree most with the observation where I think the problem isn't necessarily "hood people/culture" but a lack of self awareness and an inability to code-switch in different environments. I have a different experience because I live in the suburbs and people assume "I act white" but the reality is that my city is majority black AND middle class; that detail goes over both black AND white people's heads. A lot of "hood culture/mentality" is a survival response to injustice and violence so when you aren't in a dangerous environment AND have your economic means met then you can, well, chill. You don't have to be super defensive, rude, or off-putting and when you are in contexts outside of the hood, people in turn are going to perceive that type of behavior as a threat. Mostly everybody in my neighbor, regardless of race, keeps to themselves and maintain the homes and neighborhoods they worked hard to get into, which involves respecting other people's space and liberties. I don't have to worry about big groups of people hanging around at corners, loose dangerous dogs, abandoned dilapidated buildings, noise and litter pollution, or violent activity. People are basically just allowed to exsist in mundanity. And yes, there is a phenomenon of "take someone out of the hood but can't take the hood out of them" and that along with classism definitely continues to be an issue in my city (the closer you get to the border of the major city, it gets, shall we say, "jankier"; i admittedly live closer to the central-north area thats bordering an upper class white city). But I also understand that this is not a reality for many black people in America as a result of decades of housing segregation, so the majority of middle class suburban areas are predominantly white and associated with "whiteness" while most urban communities - which were formally redlined and received little to no federal funding - are predominantly black and have a litany of economic and social issues that are now associated almost entirely with black people. If you're black and live in a predominantly white suburb then you'll probably stick out like a sore thumb and will subjected to more microaggresions or such outright racial profiling no matter if you're making as much as or more than your white neighbors.

How do you even come in proximity to "hood/ghetto" people if you're not from there? As a person who can code switch, I never had to interact with certain cultures if I don't live in low income areas. Furthermore, I never had a problem living in low income neighborhoods because what I've learned is there are more people working hard to provide and make a better life for their families and less people making trouble. I've learned that the majority of people in these "ghetto" areas are more caring and helpful than the people that live in the suburbs, so I would say your fear is very whitewashed because it seems like you only know what you hear or see on TV. I used to date a man raised in an upper middle class family when I was younger. He used to have these weird paranoid beliefs when he used to come to my house because I lived in the city and not even a hood part of the city just lower middle class. This dude used to bring his assault rifles with him because he was so afraid of thugs and used to get all hyped and make up weird non existent situations about what could possibly happen in those streets. I had to break up with him because his imagination was too active and dangerous for me. IJS

I also have white friends that are like family that talk about their ghetto family (just like any other group). So when I hear hood I think of a look, dress, language and mentality.

I feel the people who get angry at the woman saying whitewashed are getting triggered by that and aren't listening to what she means. Just because we don't like the term "whitewashed" does NOT mean she is wrong. Some of us were born and raised in the suburbs surrounded by more white people than we might want to admit. That we might not see or be around large groups of other black people for months until a family reunion or major holiday. I know I am not alone in feeling uncomfortable around other black people simply because I am not around them everyday like some are. That we may lack the skills to code switch convincingly and not make fools of ourselves because we don't know the latest slang or dance moves. That we don't fit in and it bothers us. So we overcompensate to look hard or be "better" and end up getting our feelings hurt or hurting those of others. To make matters worse, we also have yo deal with the white people around us assuming we are ghetto or hood JUST because we are black. Even though we live in the same neighborhood, we get slapped with labels and accusations simply by being melanated. I had the cops called on me in the fifth grade because one of my classmates asked me yo come over after school to see this necklace her grandmother had given her, which she strangely couldn't find when I went over. She almost immediately asked me to leave and not an hour after I was home, the cops showed up at my door asking about this butterfly necklace. Yeah, she lost it or something and literally blamed me, the only black kid in school. Because ofcourse I stole it, I'm black. I won't lie and say their irrational fear can't be beneficial, I had avoided several fights by using their prejudice against them. And got the more racist ones to leave me alone after choking one out. Still shocked I didn't get expelled. I'm just lucky a unit principal heard what he said. Don't get so upset at the word whitewashed, because those people exist. I exist. And it isn't fun for us. It is walking a tightrope of judgement with no net and not everyone deals well with the pressure.

I think there's a lot of truth in your comment and that it takes a lot to be honest about your experience like that on any of these apps where people love to tear other people down for their truths. Personally, I'm not a whitewashed black person but I've been accused of it for not liking hood culture. I lived in the hood until age 16, every school I went to was predominantly black, the college I went to had a large black population, to this day I mainly live around black people and people of color because it's my preference, I am genuinely more comfortable around black people than other groups of people, HOWEVER I don't care for many aspects of hood culture. In conversations like these I do think there is an ability for people like you to assess and question if your lack of experience with a certain group of people has left you biased against them, how it feels to be associated with behaviors that you personally don't exhibit, and many more nuances. However, for people like me who are very well aligned with our blackness and the black community being called whitewashed is a slap in the face. Especially, when one of the largest undertones of this conversation is the idea that hoodness and poverty culture are synonymous with blackness. Every race of people on this planet has an impoverished class that culturally behaves differently than their middle and upper classes and typically those middle and upper classes do not care for the actions and behaviors of that poverty class, including the black community, but for some reason we're not allowed to say it.

If you are scared of criminality then say so. If you are scared of unstable, wild ass people then say so, but to be 'scared' of people who happen to live in a certain location is crazy! It's like saying I'm scared of Black people from America, or Brazil, or Congolese people, or Haitians, when it's quite obvious that even in a part of the city that is labeled the hood, there are individuals living there. It's giving 'i'm one of the good black people ' so I'm better than others. Location doesn't determine who a person is. It's their choices and actions, and their genuine person. I'm scared of criminality, and violence, people who use certain drugs, and those with violent mental illness, and the homeless criminals and drug users,(who majority are white) but I still understand that these are human beings.

To be honest, as a person who grew up in the hood, I moved out of it when I was very small and I turned out pretty well. Smart, educated and have a bright future ahead of me, I would not say that all people from the hood are dangerous, because that's sadly, where I ended up not because I was dangerous, not because I was, you know, crazy it's because I had nowhere else to go, we had nowhere else to go, not all people from the hood are like that, but what really irks my soul about the hood as a person who used to live in, there is, I hate it how gangs were not shunned and they were not ashamed. I feel like gangs are so normalized in the hood that that is exactly where that stereotype comes from it's because gangs are often normalized way too much and it sucked it sucked like hell, seeing. And this was my experience, it's Sept like hell, seeing pictures of people all the time on poles with Teddy bears flowers that's when I knew I had to get the hell up outta there and pretty much all of my family the topic on being ghetto is that to be honest, if you are funny in a ghetto way, you know, I wouldn't mind, but some ghetto people are extremely rude. I'm talking about Latinos, white people Indians, whatever type of ghetto type you want to name, because it's not just black people that are get out, everybody is ghetto and their lifetime, and I hate the rudeness that's normalized with that language, I don't like the thinking you're above everybody, and that is what ghetto people seem to think. Most of the time is that they're above everybody they're not nice most of the time there very disrespectful and have no class I'm not whitewashed for saying this because. Like I said, I mentioned all types of races that can be a part of this category, cause I've witnessed it myself, and I'm going through it myself right now but I am not whitewashed for stating that people are sometimes dangerous, there, not all, but there is also a lot of them that are dangerous

All people have areas where the people don't take care of the aesthetics of that area, not clean, litter All over the place, dog mess. It is not a poor people thing but it is associated with poverty and or blackness. All aspects of American culture is watched across the world. Black American culture/areas, have been portrayed as violent, dirty, drug infested and poverty stricken. Sadly poorer areas do tend to have more people who don't care about themselves or their surroundings, after all you have have some life drive to push. Black people are not the only ones with these surroundings or people but ghetto/hood has now become synonymous with black people, you say ghetto/hood, people automatically think black. Black people have tried to push back by saying things like I'm glad I'm from the ghetto/hood, there was plenty of love and life lessons. What they are really saying is life was rough, tough but exciting , raw, not so heavily cushioned. People don't need an excuse to attempt to abuse black people, or to destroy us, they will find one. We need to remember we are not the only ones with these spaces and any one in these spaces may have justifiable fear.

I went to NYC in the 90's from London and went to the projects in Brooklyn and I have never been so scared around black people in my life same experience in 2006 in downtown Los Angeles and Compton some of these area are very extremely dangerous. It's just the reality I can never feel comfortable in that kind of environment, but that does NOT mean I hate black people in the hood.

Not all blacks are the same. We have different backgrounds and we don’t all listen to or like the same things. Some of us have never lived in the projects or been on food stamps and neither have we gone to the same schools. Many of us will never find ourselves in those neighborhoods because it has a high crime rate, the people are loud and ignorant and most people don’t like that. So that doesn’t take away from being black at all.

I think this is a case of semantics. It’s hood vs hoodlum. Being afraid of hoodlums is not the same as fearing hood people (those living in the hood). The latter would incorporate a large degree of prejudicial thinking that everyone from the hood is a hoodlum. I think the intent was a discussion of hoodlums. “Hood” is a shortened version of neighborhood. Hoodlum has no association with the word neighborhood. It referred to some Irish hooligans.

People aren't offended by the calling out of the negativity of our people. The reality is a large portion of black familes were raised and or still live in areas considered the hood or ghetto. That is a hard thing to face for some of our people we see it within our own families. Your neighborhood is not your personality. I have family in the hood and the burbs I love them both. I have lived in both and at the end of the day Im afraid of dangerous people. Unfornately they're everywhere with many different personalities. Just say it makes you feel better to other yourself from your insecurities that you see in others and go. 🙏🏾

I was raised on a tropical island and very far removed from the “hood”, so my dialect is reflective of that. I speak very proper English and my socialization has nothing to do with the stereotypical “hood culture”. I’ve been told by black people that I’m not “black enough” because how I speak and carry myself. What is there to be comfortable with? I don’t feel comfortable with people who value emotion over logic. Period. If that’s you and you live in the hood…so be it. If that’s you and you and you love in the suburbs…so be it. Like is drawn to like. I like emotionally intelligent people who value the autonomy of others and believe in letting people live their lives. I don’t care about your melanin level. The “hood” or “ghetto” is an environment I want nothing to do with. I value my life as i have built it. I don’t have to accept other ways of living simply because of a commonality of melanin. I don’t have to accept all aspects of black culture just because I’m black.

It's sad that the young man is proud of being able to code switch. It's like he doesn't realize the fact that we do it is to be more palatable to other races due to possible negative judgement if we don't. I want us to feel we can always be our authentic selves in any setting. Not feeling like we have to prove we aren't "one of the bad ones". Even with a suit, tie, degrees and credentials we still aren't seen as equals. It's exhausting to feel the need to constantly change to be accepted when there is little guarantee that you will.

I think since folks in the hood are already dealing with being impoverished and often put in desperate situations, they think this criticism of them is a form of punching down, but it is what it is! Poverty breeds crime, no mater what race you are. But since we’re speaking specifically about the hood/poor Black communities, there’s truth to these concerns. The gang violence, crime, and violence are all rooted in poverty, a lack of education, and general ignorance. And simply calling that out for what it is is NOT anti-Black. It’s just an uncomfortable truth, but a truth nonetheless. And Black people not wanting to hold themselves accountable for these truths simply because they don’t want to deal with it is unacceptable. You don’t get to escape criticism or face accountability just because you’re Black and poor. Period.

The created a negative stigma related to the hood and I had to unlearn it as I learned about our history and these systems exist as they do. You can't be woke with your eyes closed. Eliminating bias is most important. Eliminating ego. And realizing the only difference between you and the other person are your experiences. Now I fucks in the hood😂😂

These very oppressors would call out the terms whytee or yt as racist if not for our power to subdue them through the yt sense of guilt, which certainly helps us all.

My family ,neighborhood and the people in it help mold a resilient, empathetic individual that contributes to society and work a career that makes a difference in people lives. They're afraid of criminals who are black who happen to be a product of their environment, as well. Its so much nuance to this conversation. And these vague think pieces (exception of a few) are revealing the state of black people.

I thought she had a good time with me and my fam. I was so HURT! Cause she was my ONLY FRIEND in school! She just stopped talking to me! Years later around the time when FB first came out, she found me and apologized, and wanted to be friends again. I said... no. I was me and she didnt accept me like accepted her!

It’s all an optics thing. What it looks like vs what it is. The attempt to distance or separate one’s self from behaviors that are attributed to one’s own race by stereotypes originally intended to create and enforce biases, while also using rhetoric that affirm said stereotypical behaviors is insane. The ones arguing “I don’t see how it’s whitewashed” are the “I’m black, but I’m not that black” as if there is a difference in the eyes of those whom have already decided your guilt by proximity. Intellectually we all know that crime is not inherent to the black community, but there are those who will imply it with statements such as “I’m afraid to be around hood black people” and then assume we know that hood means criminal. We’re aware that black people are not a monolith, and that we do have differing interests, opinions, hobbies, and ideals, however, the foundational issue we all face is that we live in a world where they will shoot first and attempt to destroy our character in the media to avoid accountability for killing one of the “good ones”. There is no explaining that you are an Ivy League graduate, or Oprah in the face of racism. The is no distinguishing who you are before judgement is passed. All of your attempts to distance your self from any form of blackness mean nothing in the grand scheme of things, because like JZ said “house 🥷, Field 🥷, rich 🥷, poor 🥷, STILL 🥷

The English language is very verbose. We have a ton of ways to use “words” specific to a person or group of people without generalizing a person or group of people and sounding racist. Example: the hood is just short for neighborhood. People in a neighborhood have people that they are afraid of in that neighborhood. Such people as: gang members, crackheads, folks with mental issues that never had them addressed, police and even people in one’s family; uncle, cousin, brother, sister, cousin, mom or dad. If you say who you’re afraid of, instead of delegating it to an entire community, you’d sound better in your debate/argument, is what many are saying in this video as it relates to how to communicate a point. Just saying “hood/ghetto people” leaves the floor open to anyone which is the same brush stroke used by conservatives and racists.
