ok assuming thats all true, how do you go about teaching them all these things without having them living there on a daily basis? and do all these outweigh thenegative aspects of growing up in the hood? lets be honest, most people that live in the hood dont have these attributes or else they would be running theworld.

none of these attributes are the sole property of those with "inner city swagger" or whatever other strange, vague description you wantto use. and ou made it clear that your kids will not be without essentials, only that they will still be integrated into the "hood" culture + societyso how will they be dealing with any sort of "scarcity, adversity" etc.? and why are the "unique experiences of the ghetto" better than theunique experiences provided elsewhere?Originally Posted by abeautifulhaze

Glorifying slums and ghetto's. C'mon now.
If my fellow Jews were constantly glorifying the ghetto's and slums where their ancestor's used to live, we wouldn't be ruling the world would we?
Seriously though, there's nothing to glorify about poverty. "Hood" or "ghetto" traits are not exclusive to the "hood".
I had a friend who's parents made well over a million combined per year. He was the most down to earth kid I'd ever met. His parents didn't spoilhim at all and he workedto earn his own money since he was 15. However, they didn't need to drop him off in the hood to teach him the lessons that neededto be taught.

All that means is they didn't have good parents....
So your premise for this thread sucks....

He doesn't.
I'm almost certain he didn't have to face the hardships millions of children growing up in "hoods" have to every day. If he did, hewouldn't even be joking about this.

Actually the "ghettos" saved the Jews in America.
The had a strong sense of community and family in places like Bed-Stuy and Harlem. They held on to the lessons learned in the inner city and passed them downthroughout the generations. They didn't just pick up and leave when one individual struck it rich. They turned their dollars over several times within thesame communities, ensuring that entire families could move out of the hood at the same time.
The virtues of frugality and hard work learned in turn of the century NYC slums, still resonates with Jewish communities in the city.
Same with Italians and Irish.
Too many of us Black and Latino want to run away from our people.

I can't believe I'm agreeing with you on a topic. But this is essentially what i've been saying all thread. Be a good parent,don't spoil your kids. Raising them "hood" is a little extreme and won't achieve anything.

Ain't no body joking bro.
I never said that I had it harder than everyone else, so where are you going with that?
I was raised in the hood and have experienced my share of poverty and pain B....so all of that extra stuff ain't necessary.
But for a black man who calls Killer Mike hate music and worships white women like they blew breath in his lungs...I understand why you're so perplexed.

I think the "streets" is a much better word than "hood" or "ghetto" because those two words just imply a negative connotation

you are ignoring the serious posts and going right at dudes who you dont like so ill play along. i hope your kids meet some dudes on one of their hoodexcursions and start robbing stores and shooting dice all day. that will teach them to be strong like Jay z and they will in turn run the hood/america.

You want your kids to be grounded in reality but it is foolish to deny your progeny any and all advantage that you can provide. It is also mean to deny themany and all fruits of prosperity.
It seems like everyone on this board says how they will all be rich but they will still be very tough on their kids. That promise has almost zero credibilityif it comes from someone who does not yet have kids. It is like a prepubescent child wearing a purity ring or someone who is yet to get a driver's licensesaying that he will never ever drive when he is tired or the incoming college freshman claiming that he will never skip class. You can make promises but you donot really know what you will do until you actually can or cannot act on a decision.
Billions of years of evolution versus the childish notion that your babies should be well versed in the ways of the street, I wonder what will win the majorityof the time, when you actually have the kids and it is time to actually make some choices?

I don't.
You can't dictate that.
Just like you can't be sure that your kids only pick up on the positive aspects of high society instead of getting caught up with drugs and recklessliving, like so many of these Hollwood/Trust fund babies.
All I'm saying is that I am going to expose them to those realities. Hopefully my parenting and their logic/character leads them in the right direction.
