What does that even mean? I hear Black folks in particular say that about other Black folks all the time. Someone is born in a poor community, so they take on coping strategies and other behaviors that they learn while growing up in that community. How did that become something to look down on, or demean? This woman has struggled and has taken herself a long way from where she began. She used what ever she had to get there, namely her body. It is not what I would personally promote, but at the end of the day, I grew up in the suburbs in a two involved parent household so I do not have to. Chyna did not have the same resources. So, what? She has not asked us for anything, so who the hell are we to judge?

Chyna has made mistakes like everyone else does. She has got to figure out how to transition from what she has known, to embracing and taking on attitudes and behaviors that will help her get where she is trying to go and to stay there. Life is about change. She is changing, however, due to the profession she has chosen, it appears that she will have to grow, bump her head, and make her mistakes in front of the public. She’d began to build a positive brand, but her decisions and the people she is hanging around as of late, are dragging her down. I guess, since she came to Cali with her husband, and connected with his friends thinking that she was making new people, and her supposed BFF at the time, Kim K, helped her younger sister to steal Chyna’s husband and to break up her family, she is keeping to a tight circle. I believe she is partially struggling because she does not know who to trust out there besides Amber. The relationship with Rob, Kim’s loser brother did not work and Chyna then moved on. I don’t think without pain though and taking some powerful hits. As long as she was quiet, everyone was fine. The minute she tried to stand up and use her voice, the Kardashians came for her.
Who the hell wants to be known for giving a blow job? No one I can think of. When it’s the only card you think you can play because the culture has told you so, and to prove it, has rewarded people like Kim Kardashian for doing the same thing that Chyna does for a living, then you play that card. Chyna comes from the “hood” so some Black folks think it is alright to further demean her with names like hood rat and statements like “You can take the girl out of the hood…” These are bigoted statements that speak to anti-blackness and a bias against poor people.

If Chyna’s behavior is truly “hood” behavior, then what about all of the poor Black women who have succeeded and would never carry themselves in a bad way, even though they come out of low income “hood” neighborhoods? How do you explain the fact that not all poor people or even poor Black women carry themselves poorly? Why do you choose to stereotype them with such comments? Also, if Chyna’s behavior is so hood, then how do you explain the Kardashians who grew up and still live in an affluent California neighborhood with high percentage of White residents?
