I know that I can't be the only person who has noticed what seems to be a "trend" of topic among black people our age. It seems like black people, mainly dudes, are always braggin about who comes from the roughest neighborhood or went to the roughest school, and they will diss somebody who may be from a nicer neighborhood. I see this a lot at FAMU and probably every other school I know about. For example, people from NY will be arguin about somethin and then one will be like "you don't know anyway, you are from the burbs, I live in the middle of the hood" and I hear it a lot from people from L.A. It's people from Carson, which is a nice suburb in my opinion, who will always compare their "hood" to other cities and talk about how hard the people in their hood are and all else.
How long has it been better to be raised in a bad neighborhood? Where I grew up is somethin between good and bad, it isn't Watts but damn sure ain't Beverly Hills. But if I was from a nice suburb, I would definitely not be ashamed of it, and if I was from a bad hood, i definitely wouldn't go around braggin about it like it makes me hard just because I was from a hard hood. Are people actin like this because thas the same thing the rappers do?

Ain't no need for me to be "hood" and prove myself.
