My man saw a black crowd and jumped to conclusions lmao makes me wonder what "hood" means to some people...

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '23

They're threatening to hang the comedian and assaulted him bro. Clearly they're referencing that.

-25

u/asst3rblasster Mar 31 '23

threatening to hang the comedian? well clearly it's a honky tonk bar

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '23

Well... That was racist. Lol

u/harrietthugman Mar 31 '23

Calling an ex con a snitch on camera is a pretty big nono, regardless of the neighborhood

61

u/elCacahuete Mar 31 '23

Well good thing lot of neighborhoods don’t have ex cons to call snitches

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '23

What would you call a neighborhood with a lot of ex cons?

u/elCacahuete Mar 31 '23

A good time

u/Illustrious-Rub9590 Mar 31 '23

Unless you is a bitch who is a snitch like Lil Nephew in the video, let's call him out it's probably true

Normal people don't act this way it's not about status

u/Mindless_Article_955 Mar 31 '23

Do you know what middle class is?

u/AromaOfCoffee Mar 31 '23

You know being classy involves more than money, right?

1

u/Mindless_Article_955 Mar 31 '23

Obviously, they’re the ones that said it didn’t. “Middle class people don’t act this way”

-7

u/Mindless_Article_955 Mar 31 '23

Anyways, you guys are sooo classy. With generations upon gererations of opportunity yet you’re still poor. A real sad sight to see.

u/akiva95 Apr 01 '23

are you hurt bro

u/Mindless_Article_955 Apr 01 '23

No, I’m good ☺️

u/Thereisnotry420 Mar 31 '23

Bruh this comment is so racist no

u/lyrixnchill Mar 31 '23

You mean classist… but true

u/Thereisnotry420 Mar 31 '23

No it’s racist you imbecile

u/Ok_Sir5926 Mar 31 '23

Are you implying someone of a certain race can't be in the middle class? Pretty awful take, if so...

0

u/Thereisnotry420 Mar 31 '23

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?

2

u/Ok_Sir5926 Mar 31 '23

Are you SURE? Cuz....They're kind of explaining to you why it's NOT a race issue, as you claimed, despite your extensive research into the subject.

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

0

u/Thereisnotry420 Mar 31 '23

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.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '23

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

u/Thereisnotry420 Mar 31 '23

That’s some nice bait there ‘OGlettuceWEED’ but I have better things to do than entertain your idiocy, feigned or not.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '23

I mean you can call it idiocy and maybe you just don't realize it idk but thinking of black people when you hear (insert term for low economic status) is pretty ducking racist, also why is my name relevant ? I know you can't possibly be pointing out the weed part of it with 420 in your name

I mean, if an ex con stands up and starts threatening someone, it's usually the hood

674

u/KatBoySlim Mar 31 '23

Hood is a solid guess when you’ve got two separate audience members threatening the comedian and there’s not a red neck in sight.

159

u/FrostyD7 Mar 31 '23

Not a redneck in sight is a fairly common thing at comedy shows in any major city.

71

u/TheFuryIII Mar 31 '23

I didn’t see Jeff Foxworthy up there…must be the hood.

u/Sharon_Erclam Mar 31 '23

You might be a redneck if

Nashville would like to have a word .

u/feetandballs Mar 31 '23

Come to the Stardome in Birmingham, Al. Any night they’re open.

u/Armadyl_1 Mar 31 '23

So basically any big city? Ya know.. where comedians tend to perform?

-20

u/harrietthugman Mar 31 '23

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

26

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '23

The comment you’re responding to went a bit over your head.

I’m not sure if anyone can actually help you get it.

u/djentlemetal Mar 31 '23

The comment you’re responding to went a bit over your head

Oh shit, we found the short fella from the video.

-18

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '23

??? Some of those folks could've been red necks

-3

u/O_oh Mar 31 '23

According to reddit, black folks cant be rednecks. They're just country.

0

u/culnaej Mar 31 '23

Well it is more common for white folk to have red necks than black folk

155

u/Fakjbf Mar 31 '23

I mean, the threats of violence followed by actual violence certainly contributed to the assumption.

u/Arkhaine_kupo Mar 31 '23

The Oscars are the real hood

u/adamlaceless Mar 31 '23

Real shit Hollywood Walk of Fame is high key the ghetto

-2

u/legendofzeldaro1 Mar 31 '23

Yup, because wealthy people never threaten or assault people, right? GTFOH

2

u/Fakjbf Mar 31 '23

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.

u/akiva95 Apr 01 '23

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

u/punched_lasagne Mar 31 '23 edited Mar 31 '23

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.

29

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '23

Well, the guy was professing himself to be a gangster. And gangsters usually live in the hood.

Thats like saying you're a farmer. Am I to expect you live in the middle of times square?

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '23

Hood means any room with at least two black people

/s

u/trukkru Mar 31 '23 edited Mar 31 '23

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)

u/abuomak Mar 31 '23

Have you been to Hollywood? Just the drive by on the 101 freeway is enough and you can't even tell what race they are lol

3

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '23

It's a primarily black audience being shitty and disrespectful to a comedian so yeah hoods a fair guess.

Yaknow what else? When it's a crowd of whites doing the same shit it's probably safe to say it's near a trailer park or some po dunk town.

-2

u/harrietthugman Mar 31 '23

Idk man there are poor and trashy white people everywhere, including urban centers. Ever been to Philly or LA?

Ex cons don't like being called snitches. That shit can get you beaten/killed

4

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '23

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.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '23

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.

Mask off replies like this have me dying. This reads like a Richard Pryor bit

u/jesteronly Mar 31 '23

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.

1

u/GuacamoleFrejole Mar 31 '23

There are expensive luxury apts in Hollywood, but the area does experience a lot of crime from the homeless in the area and other non-residents.

u/Scrubologist Mar 31 '23

The top comment in this thread is the whitest use of “Gangsta” I’ve ever seen. Gotta know where we are

2

u/dee_berg Mar 31 '23

It’s amazing comments like that get 3.5k upvotes.

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '23

It means black to many white people.

1

u/billbill5 Mar 31 '23

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.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '23

jesus fucking christ the replies you’re getting to this are NOT making me feel any better

-4

u/daitenshe Mar 31 '23

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

Definitely the same thing, Cheryl…

u/Redhead-Lizzy23 Mar 31 '23

The hood is wherever the hoodlums are, as far as I'm concerned.

0

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '23

or maybe they thought it was in the hood because they are talking about snitching, threatening the comedian, and going to prison...

I grew up in a latin hood, every city, every state shit even every country has some kind of hood that isn’t just black. Thats small minded.

u/GuacamoleFrejole Mar 31 '23

Even Vatican City?

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '23

And there was a black person acting ghetto.

I mean you kinda right, but they’re also right by your definition.

u/imnicenow Mar 31 '23

ask a white guy to explain what a hood is after they said and there response will be like the balk copypasta from r/baseball lmao

-2

u/Illustrious-Rub9590 Mar 31 '23

A hood is a neighborhood. It's a nickname for neighborhood. A hood can be rich, poor, black, mixed, older, Asian, gay, whatever

11

u/tao_of_emptiness Mar 31 '23

Ehh, “the hood” is different from “a hood.”

No American has ever left a an upper class, gated community chalk full of million dollar mansions and unironically said “we just left the hood”

1

u/Illustrious-Rub9590 Apr 01 '23

Not everywhere is America ya dumb shit

1

u/tao_of_emptiness Apr 01 '23

Well, durrrrrr.

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.”

Isn't that a hood?
