Are you asking for the origin of the field nigga mentality? That's what it looks like. This reads like a house nigga asking why field niggas celebrate the field. The "street shit" is just a modern day iteration of field nigga shit.

We as black people have a history (or at least have been told of a history) of being victims. Pushed around and beaten down by the people who make the rules. Field niggas were the heavy lifters outside doing the dirty work, "getting it out the mud"(more on that later). House niggas were the butlers, the nannies and other servants who were, in the house.

The house niggas were still slaves still had better living conditions than the field niggas. The field niggas viewed the house niggas as sellouts because the field niggas wanted OFF the plantation. They wanted massa dead while the house niggas didn't "want no trouble". So naturally the house nigga gonna look soft and bitchmade and wasn't a single rap song played that led them to this conclusion.

Early on in this thread someone said people want to look cool. One of the best ways to do this since the beginning of time was to be looked at as TOUGH.

Field niggas had to be strong to do the backbreaking labor. But being able to say You made it off the plantation without kissing massa's ass or giving up yours? Major flex. So why wouldn't we glorify the comeuppance from nothing without playing by the rules?

Someone else in this thread mentioned the "dominant society". As far as many are concerned, we never left the plantation it just got bigger. It's still THEIR world where THEY make the rules. The toughest looking thing to do would be to come up while BREAKING these. Skipping classes that teach THEIR lessons. Not applying for jobs at THEIR establishments to work for THEIR crumbs. We want to BEAT the system, not join it. So illegal activity it is.

It convinces us to celebrate the struggle. "Gettin it out the mud" like I mentioned before is considered better than impressing authority figures with good connections and resources.

Back to the tough thing, we don't want to be victims. We don't want to be weak. If nothing else, we don't want to LOOK weak. So we engage in this "Street shit" cuz "fuck society " and to guarantee some kind of success we obtain tools of violence and join a group of like-minded people and call it a gang, because it's real in the field.
 
But it’s not promoted the way we promote that dumb shit




Why is that shit hard for y’all to understand, shit.

It aint hard to understand. You're just wrong in that its not promoted. Unless you're saying you can't find countless things promoting none of those shows. Breaking Bad isn't heralded as one of the best shows of all time. *Insert random mafia movie here* isn't heralded as the best film of all time. Hells Angel's aren't actually promoted, have legal trademarks, and seen as cool even though they're documented as an actual street gang. White folks debauchery isn't promoted heavily at all...

Nobody ever denied this. What's being debated is that the shit isn't exclusive to Black folks and if you want to change it then you've gotta look at the full scope and not just Black people because it's not just a Black people problem. Black folks in America are Americans and they're gonna suffer from all the same shit Americans do. It just hits our communities harder when the effects are negative.

Naw. You’re just wrong as hell.

But keep denying till it go away
 
My thing saying niggas ain’t shit has been a tactic used and it literally has never worked how long and many discussions have we had using the same rhetoric and it has produced nothing.
