Locals.. oh lawd.. you mean locals that don't attend HU.. they are cut from a different clothe.. like rayon or polyester or some shyt... They are hecka bold, then wanna get mad at you cuz they ain't bringing their 'A' game and you dis 'em. I don't know if you can fully understand it until you get here... you'll learn what/who a Bamma is.. its not something that can be explained thoroughly.... Basically, the locals think HU students are stuck-up/snotty.. and for the most part, we just can't stand 'em..

honestly, i have nothing against the locals. I even "talked" to a few guys who were locals (and no they DID NOT go to HU). And u know what? They were some cool dudes. Straight up. Some of the guys...like in the IMMEDIATE georgia street area, are a bit on the ruff side, but it's no reason to hold ya head all high like you're too good to be cordial. When most of em say HU students are stuck up and snotty...they have good reason to think it. When someone speaks to me, i always respond back with a friendly hello, that's just common courtesy.

Yea some are mad cool (two of my LB's are locals), but some are crazy as a muhfugga. One kat tried to rob me and 2 of my LB's. We looked at this niggra like he was a ****. We carried on right about our business and let him rant like a ****. They act like niggras is supposed to be scared of em. Unless he holdin' a burner on me, theres not much for me to be worried about.

I use to do that...but then when I would say hello they took that as a "she wants me" then tried to get all up in my face..then I had to show my ****...then they would try to show they ****...then I'd have to put my foot in they....you catch my drift..... :roll: But some of them are mad cool and NOT BAMMAS...perfect example is my current boyfriend....I swore he was from New York when I met him...but he's born and breed in DC....went to school in alabama...but he's isnot a bamma...nor are his people's....they only reason I know he was from DC because he was always saying "yung"...that she-it irritates me to this day!

I think people's response to them is dictated by where they are from.. If you are from Down South and you are all friendly like that.. then maybe y'all be cool.. but I know that Northerners aren't in people's business like that... so I dunno.. maybe its just me... ( Lord.. please let me meet a local that breaks all of my stereotypes of them.. In Jesus' name.. Amen..)
