Real Nigga's
While driving through my neighborhood Saturday afternoon. I showed Barneys and her sister Bush Baby the elementary school I attended. As we're passing by I point out the fire hydrant Grantlove slammed this white boy's head into because he made the mistake of talking about his Momma. That shit was hilarious. Grantlove is slamming this kids head against the hydrant after every word he says '' Say " slam " Something" slam " About " slam" My " slam " Mother" slam" Again " slam slam. Good and Plenty and I had to grab Grantlove before the nuns came out. Classic Gangsta moment
After telling Barneys and Bush Baby that story. Bush Baby says" Why you talking about who Grantlove beat up. What about you" I respond " What about me!" Bush Baby " Who you beat up Slish " I respond " Oh I was worse than Grantlove. You didn't have to talk about my momma for me to beat ya up. I beat people up for fun." Barneys rolls her eyes and looks over at me and says sarcastically " Yeah riiiight. Who you beat up baby. " Bush Baby chimes in " Yeah Slish who ? " I become a little defensive and respond " Umm I lumped up a few cats right there in that school yard " Barneys giggles, nods her head up and down , and says" Okaay baby" Bush Baby in the background laughing. I say " Whats so funny. You think I can't get RAH RAH!!! I can get RAH RAH!!! Barneys laughing harder " Verbal RAH RAH yeah. Physical RAH RAH I don't think so. Didshejustcallmeapussy! Slasher responds " Yeah bruh she just called you a pussy" I give Barneys this devilish grin and say " You would be so wrong to assume that"
Now I know I'm not one of those hood niggas that stabs himself in the chest with an ice pick right before a fight, but i'm no punk and it hurts my feelings Barneys assumes that I couldn't protect her if some shit went down. What do I have to do to change her perception? Walk around with a blunt in my mouth, wear jeans and timbs all day, when she asks " Baby where are you?" should I respond " BITCH SEE YOU WHEN I SEE YOU! " Will that convince her I can protect her Then! Yeah I've choked a nigga who threatened to shoot me, Yeah i've been jumped and left three of them cats on the floor grabbing body parts they didn't know they had, Yeah a psychotic muthafucka on the train threatened to harm everyone around him and I was the only one brave enough to step to him, But real nigga's don't brag about shit like that! Real niggas do real THINGS !!!
Let me tell you ladies something. Its real easy to rob, hustle, stab and shoot another African. It takes a real man to walk away from shit like that. If you think i'm wrong why are so many brothas locked up, why are there so many more black women attending college than black men. Why are so many of you still searching for that one brotha you don't have to share or visit through a plexiglass window. WHY? Because you have this perception that a brotha who's chosen to duck bullets instead of standing up in front of them is a Pussy! When in reality he's exactly the kind of man you need to build your life with. The kind of man that will put his family before anything else. If you ask me thats the only kind of protection any woman needs.
Yeah ya'll . I'm a real nigga. A real nigga that does GROWN UP THINGS.

You are hilarious but yes, it does take a real man to walk away. More men need to realize this shit. Thanks for dropping that knowledge!
Preach on Slish! Love this post.. I can point out hundreds of ladies that need to read this one!
Who are you talking to?
Real grown up women already know this. My man doesn't have to choke another brotha to prove to me that he is a man.
I'm sorry that your feelings were hurt and I'm sure that wasn't Barney's intent. Why do men always feel like they have to be so tough anyway?
I agree with Chele. I real grown up woman already knows this.
Umm what happened during your high school days? where you real then or still wildin out? (hehehe)
When I was younger, I thought I wanted a thug, a pants hanging, ebonic slanging, choke a nicca thug...till I grew up and realized if he will choke a nicca in the street, don't think he won't beat tha hell outta you....
Great post.
Preach Brotha !!! I need to pass this out to a couple of ladies I know... I have been in at least 2 relationships that ended because I wasnt thuggish enough....WTF !!! What part of the game is that ??
@The Mistress Your welcome..Spread the word...
@Var Forward it to those silly broads.
@Chele and Phoenix Both of you are correct. Real Women already know this, But they are some sista's out there who don't. Men feel they need to be tough because we have these young braods out there chanting I want a real thug nigga! Its an epidemic. Whats scary is that the media encourages it. The more trouble a Black male celebrity gets into the more desirable he is to the ladies.
As for Barneys hurting my feelings. Its ain't that deep I was probably just a taaad bit annoyed, but i know deep down she knows what the deal is. My future loves to tease...lol
@Newy Thats what I'm talking about. These young glass think that shit is cute until Thuggish ruggish is kicking her ass because she calls him by his real name(Dexter) in front of his boys.
@ 1 in the same. Its the part where brothas are dying daily to impress the impressionable. Its sad. I'm glad you didn't let that change your way of thinking.
....heeheehee...
Preach Slish!
...lol...
"A REAL NIGGA the does GROWN UP THINGS" you say? Ok, then, do the grown up thing and do me right! You know what I'm talking about. I leave tomorrow, keep that in mind.
Mr. Music
Blarney's hit a nerve I see. But, you're right about Real Men. I'm sure she was just giving you hard time...lighten up!
I love the REALness of this post.
I have never wanted a thug or wannabe hard brother-unfortunately a lot of sisters get lost in that thug mentality..
You’re right real men know when to walk away!
The “thug/gansta” type never really did it for me. I like to wear whatever colors I like, go to whoever’s neighborhood or section of town when I please, and live life paranoid free.
@ Mr Music check is in the mail..NUCCA!!!!
@ Dynasty I know she was. I wasn't really mad. It just struck a nerve...lol
@ Tjeanise They get lost in it alright. 2-3 babies later...
@ R Mack Think i read that.. Yeah Dem chikens need to be cluckin somewhere else.
@ Woman on the move/Where you from COMPTON!! lol
dammit i could have sworn i posted a comment, now i've lost my train of thought.
i think real men are mature men who have more to lose than they have to gain by fighting. Men who can mince you with their words or just slay you with the fact that they are men, kings of their domain and that cannot be taken away from them.
Those are real men.
What's the old saying?
How can you tell the difference between a wise man and a fool fighting in the streets? A wise man would never fight a fool!
Good job wise man. Good job Barney's you got self a real man!
Sad but true. Good brothas like us rarely get the love we deserve. Why is it that sistas feel that to be raw you gotta have been up the road (to jail) a few times.
I am forwarding this to several ladies that I know.
You the man for putting it out there.
@ Miss Ahmad "How can you tell the difference between a wise man and a fool fighting in the streets? A wise man would never fight a fool!" True indeed. I like that saying..:)
@ Rahman... They feel that way because the Black Family is fucked up!!! No positive male role models to raise these young sistas. Look at the images they create in the media.
LOL, sorry it's that L.A. side of me....LOL
lol.. omgoodness mr.slish/slasher.. take it down a notch son!! as I was reading your entry, I was trying to figure out how Barney's saying that you're not the physical altercation type turned into her hurting your feelings because she allegedly thinks you can't protect her.
she didn't say all of that homie. relax. you should take what she said as a compliment. she doesn't see you as some mindless macho idiot who's always overly trying to prove his masculinity through homothuggery.
relax dude. I'm sure she knows you'd hold her down if and when it came down to it.
but it's alright. tell 'em why you mad son. lol
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Detached retina's aside, I really shouldn't have beat that kid like that, but a statement had to be made, so I made it!
I've only had one fight after that childhood incident. I was 21, living in Germany prior to the fall of the Berlin Wall. My boys and I were off base in Downtown Frankfurt, drinking amongst some of the most bigoted people I've ever encountered. After hearing someone curse out my boy all hell broke loose. I was trying to be a "real nigga" to prove my loyalty to my comrades. Long story short, I initiated a bar brawl to rival all bar brawls. Chairs were thrown, Pitchers were smashed on heads, poolsticks were now considered weapons of mass destruction, and let's not even talk about the damage that billiard balls can create.
I ended up doing 30 days in Correctional Custody. That started my downfall and eventually led to my being kicked out of the Air Force after only one year.
Lesson learned: If you or your loved ones are not in danger, be the bigger man and walk away. A life is not worth "Keepin' It Real"
Real Africans protect their families, not their egos.
Thanks for this one Slish.
@ Equal LoL...I know Barneys was just teasing. But if I was thuggish ruggish. There would have been no teasing..lol feel me.
@ Grantlove I forgot you detached that boys retina. Lucky you did that shit off school grounds. They would have expelled you and tell these people the truth about the Airforce incident. YOU WERE BUCKING SHOTS!!!..lol
You had my back at the club that night and that dude was way bigger then you LOL!! So that made me realize you was a standup type of cat off the break. I never sleep on anyone...NEVER cause some of the craziest cats in the world is the ones who look like they wouldn't hurt a fly. I felt safe hanging that night cause I knew you was looking out for us...real talk!
@ Royce Ooooh I forgot about that wino drooling all over your shoulder...lol Shiiit I was really looking out for him..Cause I know How you get down..lol Hyuuuuuken!!!!
I think you're right on many levels. It does take a real man to walk away. It requires more strength to forgive and move on than it does to simply retaliate without thought.
Real Nucca huh??? I can't believe your shorty tried to front on the family like we don't get it in dog.. What's up wit that??? I just like you cuz'n am not having it.. NONE OF IT!!
Barney must don't how we gets down??? I know you cuz'n like that back of my hand... You will speak your peace and try to walk away from the dumb shit but once a person crosses that invisible line... ITS A RAP... ITS ON AND POPP'N.. What she don't know??? That just how we are... Son you don't have nothing to prove.... I know you will stand up for your shorty... 1...
Punk ass. LOL
I hear you Slish. She knows that you would take care of her if the situation ever arose. She was just pushing some buttons. We like to tease you guys sometime..
The truth shall set you free! But can it free the minds of the sistas that fall for the okeydoke of the thug image? I can understand a teenager falling for it because my first love at 15 y/o was a thug. If you're 25 and up and still looking for a thug, that makes you foolish little girl.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if the media started showing clean cut men as desirable? Wouldn't the brothas clean up their act, do well in school, and avoid any criminal activities because they know they won't pull any women as a thug?
Only in my fantasies.
I loved the truth in this post!
I don't know Slish. There is no convincing someone how you would react in a certain situation if they haven't seen you. I've see the hardest appearing cats bitch up and i've seen softies take a chunk outta dude.
Personally, I'll avoid a fight at all costs. But not to the extent that I'mma run from a dude. That's the best I can do.

@ Bz Glad you agree..:)
@ Philly whatever I can't handle i'm sure you got my back no doubt!!!!
@ 1969 I know she was just teasin...lol
@ Sunshyne Thuggish ruggish at 15 huh...lol...Glad you found your way...
@ Zed You have a point, but nonetheless we should never underestimate anyone.
Funny Stuff! But I agree with you. In my mind it is the quite person that you need to be scared of. The person that is always running they mouth ain't going to do nothing but keep on running they mouth.
My hubby is all ex-gangsta. But now he always talks about his responsibilities. I love that about him. It's just during those moments when I see that he is about to swing on someone that puts fear into my heart. I rather report someone harassing me, than to put up bail money for my hubby. Ya Know??? Shoot! I can handle all the small weight. LOL!
holla!
No I dont want a thugged out dude. I dont like plexiglass. But I do want a dude with a little thug in him, maybe a just a sprinkling...because I have a little ghetto/country/gangster in me...just a sprinkle, and I cant stand a sissified man.
As a woman, you want to feel like your man could protect you...or at least jump in should you need to take your earrings off. Many of those ultra-corporate, oreo types are just too questionable on this front.
I do believe that a real man will put his family (meaning his kids and his woman) before everything else, but that same man should also have some backbone/ cajones/ street smarts in him as well, just in case.
...besides, I peeped you in that club like Royce's did, you aint nevah scared, Slish.
That's REAL. Not only women need to read this but more men as well. They've got it twisted the most.
