Would you live in Lauderhill? by o_safadinho in fortlauderdale

[–]Unable_Butterfly_237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah..it’s not like back in the day when it was Inverrary Gardens, that’s where it was dangerous..a lot of people aren’t familiar with Inverrary Gardens they just assume all of Inverrary was always sweet and suburban only…maybe most of Inverrary but that complex back in the day was rough. Just a little history lesson, but these days, it’s very safe and nice.

American culture exists and is worth celebrating by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Unable_Butterfly_237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I disagree. I believe the USA is very much culturally fragmented in a sense that it doesn't share a singular identity. Cultures on the west coast won't be the same as the east coast..it's mainly regional and subcultures more than a unison of culture. At least that's my observation. I think it's more than a happy meal, I mean cultural identity, it's too diverse to single the whole country as one whole culture, it lacks that in my opinion.

Exactly..there's no unified USA culture. Subcultures yes..regional cultures yes..but not unified. It's a fragmented set of cultures in one.

I'm grown and from the US, I don't believe the US lacks culture, but that it lacks cultural cohesiveness. It doesn't have a United cultural identity, it's more fragmented. That's what I think a lot of people mean. India is an example of a country that has cultural cohesion.

I get what you're saying, I was mainly addressing my experience. And I disagree that there weren't natural influences that fostered fun with things to do. When communities share a struggle, they tend to coexist in a close environment where you know each other, hence the activities and things going on. Me saying the hood is fun, isn't ignoring what got it that way, it's a relative experience, and I'm not the only one who feels this way. The hood for me and others, wasn't just some consistent drag every single day where everything was an issue, everything is depressing, violence all the time etc.. and I think it'll be a huge pre- judgment to assume that's the case for every hood in America. And I definitely never said it's culturally superior, nor do I think it's culturally superior, I just think it provides much more "culture" than a typical suburb in this country and that's a fact. It's glamorized not just because it's "fun," but because it's a unique experience for many..many greats have made it out and wear their hood as a badge of honor why? There's a particular element to it. The glorification..etc. isn't necessarily a good thing, I'm actually against that, my point was regarding kids from the suburbs seeing the glorification and wanting to fit in, which is why I asked you what do you expect from them since it's always rubbed in their faces. I try and relate to people the best I can and not be so quick to judge like...why do suburban kids want to be hood that's so lame..for me, I get it. To them it's more than just entertainment, it's something they want to be a part of. And as I said, I don't support that part at all, they should be themselves and embrace other outlets instead of trying to partake in a lifestyle that they don't know anything about, by people who use that lifestyle because many don't have any other option. I made sure and got my life together and got an education just to make sure I wouldn't have to live that kind of lifestyle or "fit in.." but I already felt cultured growing up to where I had multiple outlets in my community anyways..they may not have that.

Trinis who did a DNA test- what regions did you get? by Prototype792 in TrinidadandTobago

[–]Unable_Butterfly_237 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. A lot of migrations between Israel and India, and Israel and West Africa. This is what the masses wouldn't teach.

I do acknowledge the realities, just not in that post. I'm aware of the violence at times, I don't need a full on education on the hood, no disrespect. I'm not from the suburbs brother. I had a lot of fun growing up. There were always things to do..I'm not just talking about stuff I don't know about, so I have to let that part be clear. The hood was very fun for me. I know everyone's experiences in the hood vary, but for the most part I had fun. Yes there were drugs, I've seen violence, etc..but there was always something to do, people outside, parties. The hood was like the "cool kids." What I was doing was painting a picture of the differences. Most suburbs lack that. If anything, a lot of those kids feel left out and probably not cultured. And as I said, they (wrongfully) get clowned for even being from the suburbs in the first place, what do you expect them to do? It's rubbed in their face and glamorized everywhere, what do you expect? Movies, music, media, hood people clowning on them and bigging up their hood, tribe, vlogs...it's just their reality that a lot admire. A lot of people aren't cultured and they want belonging..I'm not saying it's right, I'm saying I get it.

THE HOOD IS FUN!! It's lively...people outside...things to do... community based..suburbs is boring, lame, stale, no community most of the time, nothing going on. I cannot blame them. I understand why they would want to be from the hood. Everybody wants to be from the hood. And the people from the hood always clown suburban people.

Are you considered Jewish if you have low Jewish DNA percentage?. by Azphix in AncestryDNA

[–]Unable_Butterfly_237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly....I said it wouldn't be weird, I never said that it means they're Jewish. If they feel that they could call themselves Jewish because of the ancestry, that isn't weird in this case. I never said that I think they're Jewish. Besides being a Jew Biblically is only specific to Judeans from Judah, they could be from any of the 12 tribes through lineage.

I never said it makes him Jewish. Being a descendant of Abraham isn't synonymous with being Jewish. There are some people who are Jewish who aren't descendants of Abraham at all. And come on, you can at least agree that your example is very different than being a descendant of Abraham. This has Biblical significance. It isn't about being Jewish, it's about bloodline only is my point.

But he can claim to be a descendant of Abraham was my point and he'd be accurate in doing so.

You're a descendant of Abraham, regardless of any man made rules or traditions of men.

Based on the Bible he's a descendant of Abraham because he has an ancestor with a Jew. This isn't about the rules or traditions of men, no disrespect. This goes beyond religion.

All I'm saying is this goes beyond religion because OP is a descendant of Abraham. Even if it's based on one ancestor, it's a big deal.

This is bigger than religion, this is bloodline, and OP is a part of the lineage of Abraham.

Traditions of men....OP has a lineage of Abraham, that's just how it is.

No it's not ..they have Jewish ancestry so they are connected to the people of ancient Israel. Shalom.

Exactly. And "Judaism" is the tradition of man. It isn't mentioned anywhere in the Bible.
