How do people type shit like that out without realizing the insanely awful implications?

Because the victims of gangs are poor untalented people that don't provide any entertainment for them.

privileged white suburbanites who romanticize everything because they've been coddled their entire lives and think that's how the world actually is.

I'm not sure what's worse, coddlers, or the coddled.

Either way, mayocide when?

What about toddlers

distant third

“Gangs are another level of brotherhood!”

“Oh man, that criminal did something bad. The people in prison are going to tear him up for that, they hate people like that.”

Thanks for the input, Todd from New Hampshire. Your perspective as the only child in a $200,000+ household from a wealthy neighborhood is truly insightful.

that posts is filled with braindead people

This is what happens when white ppl are allowed to use the computer after watching one gangsta movie from the 90s

Boyz in the Hood should have never been available for Whites.

Maybe I’m wrong but isn’t it illegal to sell a Tyler Perry movie to a white person?

more of a "don't ask, don't tell" sort of policy

going to tyler perry movies in theatres as a wh*te is a good bit

i saw the movie "first sunday" in a predominantly black theatre near my house and it was awesome

Someone said in that thread “that’s why it’s a terrible movie” completely disregarding the fact it’s held in high regard by almost all black people. Like ffs John Singleton directed rap videos and grew up in the hood, he wasn’t some idiot who didn’t know what he was talking about.

Thats the fucking joke, moron. It is a great movie that accurately depicts life around the ghetto and gangs.

Menace II Society is what us real wiggas got hot to

No joke when I marathoned the wire a few years ago I started thinking and dreaming in ebonics, good show btw

In every single metric The Wire is not a good show. It's simply not. I am sick and tired of people pretending it is. It's not even the best show on HBO.

Shut up randy

"The Wire is best show on tv, except season 2 and season 5, which is practically half the show! Trust me, snails pace shows are actually good!" pfffttt

Everyone knows it was the pollack season that was unwatchable, the rest were fine

Let me guess you’re also the person that when asked says “Baltimore is my favorite character in The Wire”. The Wire stinks.

Since I'm a hardass gangsta (white from a quiet suburb) obviously Chris partlow is my favorite character since he's the one I most identify with

"I like the 2 dimensional violent black man." Again The Wire stinks. Only white people like it because it breeds their racist desires.

I really didn't think the sarcasm could be more apparent but here we are

"I-I was being sarcastic"

You're one dim motherficker randy, cause that's what years of meth abuse does to a man

man

yikes sweaty, cool it with the literal genocide of trans people

Pollack season was the best one. People didn't like it because boring ass white people doing mundane jobs broke the outlaw fantasy

People didn't like it because boring ass white people doing mundane jobs broke the outlaw fantasy

homie if I wanted to watch boring ass white people doing mundane jobs i could just look around my office

And thats why dumb fags don't like season 2.

Ive only seen season 1 and two but I enjoyed two.

Season two is the best season actually

I’m ok with people sucking Wire dick so long as they acknowledge that Breaking Bad dick is tastier.

I have never seen that show ranked lower than #2 on any all-time lists. The only show you can argue is better is The Sopranos. If you don't like The Wire, you might just be retarded.

A third of Americans also voted for tRump so like I give a heck about how people rank The Wire.

The Sopranos blows it away, Mad Men is way more consistent, Rome is better... I could go on and on. It was good af at the time but it's the most overrated show ever.

Whats the best HBO show?

Game of Thrones if you exclude the last few episodes is strongest by far.

retarded. I would have accepted Big Love or Real Sex but GoT is horrible.

GoT was great until they deviated from the source material.

The Leftovers is the best

I sure do like that james blake song

What about Los Espookys

Galaxy brain take: Six Feet Under

That mouth ain't for talking Randy

Tranny opinion is instantly disregarded.

Murder is a harsh reality in many places pro athletes grow up. You equating that with racism or police brutality is totally disingenuous. Gang affiliations happen usually due to survival or a lack of options. Nobody has to become a cop or join the kkk under the same circumstances. And you know this.

People actually believe this. There exists people that unironically think that you have to join a gang to survive

There's some truth to it. Gangs are basically MLMs that may use threat of violence to drive recruitment in neighborhoods that are immersed in gang culture. It's insane that he's writing about it in passive voice, though.

Hard to say whether I would want fat rednecks pushing DoTerra or the bloods in my neighborhood

Do you want to be able to lace pressed xan bars with fent and commit mayocide? Or would you rather help enrich our secretary of education?

Basketball American scams are much more based, but the attrition is what gets you, not the crippling debt.

None of that was written in the passive voice.

Gangs are basically MLMs

except you get paid a lot better at MLM for the same amount of time. plus its not like you have better shit to do at 9

Unironically read a book

Maybe I'm being a little bit nitpicky here, but I'm astounded that anyone believes the KKK is an organization that exists today. How long does it take to adapt to the post-1950s reality where the FBI destroyed the KKK? How many people on Reddit were alive back then? How many of these people's parents were even alive back then?

Nerdy mayos in drama complaining about nerdy mayos in r/nba

Thats what reddit is. Mayo autists making fun of each other. Did this just occur to you?

welcome to reddit, it fucking blows

We're all fucking autists down here

Yea I’ve seen plenty of times where said gang sees potential and keeps the person out of the streets

Hahah holy fuck. Yes, the crips major concern to keep kinds off the streets

Let’s forget all the black athletes who’ve never been able to make it out of the hood because of their ties to gangs from when they were young.

LeBron, KD, and Kawhi are all from poverty and aren’t gang bangers. Best players in the league.

Most players are from upper middle class families. The narrative of the good NBA player is basically dead

Yeah Antoine Walker doesn’t even play anymore.

There are some but yeah money makes it easier to succeed more at 5

thats because the level of play was a lot higher. Dennis Rodman didn't even touch a basketball until after high school. and 7 years later he was in the NBA.

Now they start scouting kids in middle school and most players are 2nd or 3rd gen professional basketball players.

LeBron, KD, and Kawhi are all from poverty

and once they hit middle school they were enrolled into private schools in the rich part of the city with apartments paid for by the school for their parents to live in.

fuck Donald Trump was just as poor at 13 as they were.

Maybe that is true but it kinds of kills the idea that gangs are needed to protect them, no? LeBron grew up in a gang infested neighborhood and he and his friends never banged and are all rich now. KD's mom worked overtime to keep him out of trouble. Kawhi is the whitest black guy of all time and by the way according to Ryen Russillo his uncle is super educated in finance and is helping him out. These guys are all ridiculously wealthy now, speak perfect English, and aren't ghetto at all. The idea these guys needed to have gangs is ridiculous. They are just really smart guys that are crushing it now. Black people are able to become wealthy without dem programs. The idea a black person from a bad neighborhood needs to bang is fucking offensively stupid. Black people are smart too and these 3 guys prove it.

but it kinds of kills the idea that gangs are needed to protect them

exactly

Bruh, when you come up in bad neighborhoods you GOTTA put respect on the gangs. They provide community support, brotherhood, throw cookouts ect for the young bucks. I know this first hand cause I've been living in Oakland for the last two years after I got a product manager position at Pandora.

bruh 👏👌🍆💦💦

I've seen Boyz n the Hood AND Menace to Society.

Can confirm.

this comment captures the essence of the /r/nba hivemind perfectly

Hood niggas killed my dad and brothers, but they cooked me a hot dog last summer so it's cool.

Reddit wh*tes pretending to be darkies

I remember the first shooting I responded to. Three kids who were local bloods got shot by someone from a rival gang who they didn't even know. I had to treat a 16 year old who had been shot multiple times in his chest as he's telling me to go fuck myself cause I'm a cop. He died before the ambulance even got there, another one passed away at the hospital and the sole survivor is now homeless and addicted to heroin. But someone on Reddit said gangs are actually good for the community so what would I know?

I had to treat a 16 year old who had been shot multiple times in his chest as he's telling me to go fuck myself cause I'm a cop.

Balls though.

Fucking love this kid.

As a necrophile AND a paedophile, I must say I quite agree.

I doubt he was able to speak very much with a gaping chest wound and likely collapsed lungs.

This is the most true story ever written.

its belongs on AITA

Nice fan fiction retard. Take your pol boomer posting elsewhere

in college i worked in the indigent ER in a 58% black city and this story is 100% believable

really makes u think how you seem to have had every job under the sun 🤔🤔🤔🤔

i have had 4 different jobs in my life, two of them being "real" jobs. yes all 4 jobs were very different from each other.

i hope being a shill was one of them, the thought of you doing this all for free is one too depressing to bear

what exactly would i be shilling if i was being paid to shill? you just sound retarded.

you know who

no i actually don't

im retarded

It's cause you're a silly boogalee. I'm retarded too tho so I can't judge

This is a quote from lil Wayne right.

Interestingly enough, Lil Wayne was saved by a white NOPD officer when he was like 13 and accidentally shot himself in the chest. And then like 20 years later the same cop got fired for calling some inmate the n-word.

I think we can all look back and wish there was a gang that helped nurture our potential.

i posted this first reeee

In a gang AMA

How is babby formed?

Keanu Reeves?

The Keanu Reeves circlejerk really needs to stop.

I'm just a very wholesome guy who beats children

Yang gang doesn't count

Why are you so dumb

no u

This is the time of year where /r/nba has their annual "Out Mayo's-LARPing-as-Boyz-n'da-Hood" competition with /r/BlackPeopleTwitter. Nothing to see here, disregard everything and move along.

Gangs are good because they keep the black population in check

If I’ve learned anything from Killer Mike’s Netflix show it’s that basketball American gangs just have bad branding. That’s why you need Crip cola.

Thread is the reason we unironically need a mayo genocide
