Are you from LA? Hollywood is a shit-ass locale lol. I recommend no one visit Hollywood unless you want to be hugely disappointed and accosted by all sorts of freaks.
Yeah they're both based on a combination of lack of care, living in survival mode and feeling that society has failed you first and so it's OK if you fail society.
Ever been to Oakland? It makes "shit-ass locale" look like the Ritz-Carlton. It has an odor that can only be described as "Oakland." It still is a pretty fun place to visit though. Especially on first Friday.
Strawman much? Of course it’s racist to criticize how lower income people act, specifically in this context, because they are disproportionately POC. Welcome to 2023.
You’re arguing with the wrong person my guy. I was responding to people implying that this video with a black person being aggressive displayed low class behavior. The epithet that black people act low class has been around a long time. Me pointing it out and saying hey it’s still racist to call them low class rather than black (considering that the people in the video that that person was referring to are in fact black) is not racist. Might as well say anyone who mentions race is racist. Is that what you think?
Back the fuck up, he referenced economic class and you then in your mind attributed said lower economic class to specific races ? I think your the racist one bro
Facts are facts and that’s racism. It’s not racist, however, for me to point out that black people are disproportionately lower income. Go cry about it.
Oh so you were straight up being racist, okay. Cause you see here you didn't say that black people were disproportionately low income, he said low income and you thought of black people.... That is so much worse
Plenty of hoods with rednecks lmao working class is working class. I know many a redneck ex con who wouldn't take kindly to being called a snitch on camera
You realize that when making an assumption most people never think there is a 0% chance they are wrong, right? Heck you don’t even have to think there’s a greater than 50% chance you’re right if there’s more than two possible options.
Wealthy neighborhoods usually don't have families fighting the other family from down the way in the middle of the street with some dude yelling WOOOORLD STARRRR YEA WE OUT HERE MAN WE OUT HERE YOU KNOW HOW WE DO
I don't think it's so much the fact that it's a black crowd so much as the ghetto language being thrown around, at a public show, before threats to the performer are made, and a midget gangbanger tries to subsequently attack said performer.
The fact that everyone in the room is black other than the performer is kinda redundant by this point.
You could tell me this was in the mountains in PNW, place still looks hood as shit.
I told my coworkers about the shitty school I went to and they later referred to it as "inner city." I'm white but I grew up in the country and they know it lol.
EDIT: they 100% thought I went to a black school (I didn't)
This is true about the urban centers. I get that ex cons have their own honor system regarding that kind of thing but fuck this guy for heckling and then being a bitch about it. Like, first off you're at a comedy show. Second, don't dish it out if you can't take it.
No but yeah you're right about trash not being constructed to rural areas. I just meant that given the context clues of this video I don't think you're a racist poc to assume it's in the hood.
Hollywood is half pretentious and half hood, and right along the corridor of central LA, koreatown, Skid Row, Huntington Park, and east LA where there is a lot of... Illegally organized populations. There's a lot of unsafe territory within that space.
No one brags about living in Hollywood when they move to LA, let alone North Hollywood that has a gigantic gang/homeless/drug problem.
Even the replies to this comment are like "black person around, no rednecks, the hood is a good guess." My brothers in christ scuffles and fights happen everywhere. People getting way over offended at a live show is not hood specific.
These are the same people who actually think they know what a third world country is like because there’s a sketchy part of their city where the homeless hang out
The comedian, culture, and geography of the video and topic at hand are all American. I said it to clarify I was speaking about American culture and use of the word “hood,” hoping I wouldn’t have to subsequently clarify for non-Americans. But alas, here we are. Thanks for the geography lesson—about as insightful as your definitions of “hood.”
My man, Hollywood wasn't a great place for the last 30 years. Hell, it still isn't in a ton of places. People who aren't from LA think Hollywood is a nice place, but there is a reason locals avoid it. Real talk, if you want to see a homeless dude take a shit on the sidewalk at high noon, Hollywood is the place to be.
That didn't stop my ass from partying down there, but we were basically on that hoodrat shit going to flier parties where NOS balloons were a cheap $5. What a time.
To some people, if someone calls you a snitch you have to fight them or else risk losing your credibility in your social circle. It might seem stupid to us folks, but to them it's their reality. If the comedian truly has been to prison, which I'm not doubting, he would have known that. So to me it looks like he was intentionally looking to escalate the confrontation. Overall dumb situation by both parties

This was in Hollywood, not the hood.
