It's funny to me that in this country people always talk about the problem of racism but no one ever admits to being the racist. We realize that it still exists but the only way that it can be cured is for those that are racist to admit to being a bigot. The first step towards recovery, in any sense, is to admit that you have a problem. It's not until that point does a person start to recover from whatever problem they may have whether it's being a racist, a drug addict, an alcoholic etc.
Unfortunately, it works the same way with being a hater. Everybody talks about folks hatin' but nobody will ever admit to being the hater. Why is that bruh? How is it that everybody has haters but no one will admit to being on the other side and being a citizen of Haterville? I'll tell you why, because no one has really analyzed the whole concept. That's why I'm here and I'm Ya Boy!
There is a huge difference between hatin' on somebody and just plain disliking them. For example, if you have a legitimate reason for disliking some one then it's completing permissible to feel that way. However, if you say that you don't like them and can't explain why you don't like them then you're probably just hatin'.
Hatin' and dislike are two different things bruh! I DON’T LIKE Kobe Bryant however, I RESPECT his game because he‘s a beast on the court. I can’t take that away from him. The reason I don't like him is because he's a selfish person as I explained in "The Infamous Trait" joint. When he violated the code by throwing Shaq under the bus during his sexual assault case I was off of Kobe Bryant for life. Please don’t get it twisted, I believe in the sanctity of marriage and would never justify some one cheating on their spouse. However, I live by the code that Big Mamma taught us all in the hood, “Mind your own business!” Simply because he showed me who he was as a person in not having any loyalty my reason for disliking him is legitimate. That's not hatin'!
However, to be a hater is to admit that you dislike some one without reason bruh! For example, there a millions of folks that say that they don't like Lebron because he left Cleveland or because of "The Decision" or because he hadn't won a title before last year etc. That's not dislike bruh that's hate because real cats don't dislike people for making moves and trying to being successful at what they do. Now don't get me wrong bruh you can dislike LeBron or however you like for that matter, just have a legitimate reason!
Let's speak on a level that we all can understand. The more successful a person becomes the more haters they pick up along the way, right? Why, because it's normal for people to be jealous of them the more they make moves. Why is it that you didn't have any haters when you were on the bottom of the pile! Why was it that cats called you to go out to dinner or wouldn't hesitate to come over to your house when you had less money or the smallest home in the crew? The simple reason is that you weren't a threat to their ego when you were broke bruh!
As soon as you started to make moves by building your resume, home and portfolio you all of a sudden acquired haters! Now boyz don't want to ride in your car or come by the crib anymore. Why, because you're winning and haters don't won't anybody to win but them. If you've got a friend that is never happy about your success that's not a friend! That's a hater that you didn’t have the courage to shake off when you were going through the transition!
So the next time someone asks you why you don't like LeBron and you say things like, I don't like him because of the way he walks or that he thinks he better than other players you're a hater. Straight up, those are some of the reasons that I get from people for not liking this cat. If some one asks you why you don't like Jay Graves and you say cuz I don't like the way he walks or the way he ties his tie, you're a hater too.
Real cats don't have time to hate on others if they're about making moves and trying to be successful. The hustler’s brain can only concentrate on being the best that it can be and it can only tolerate so much hustling stimuli at one time. Trying to be successful and hating can't occupy the same space at the same time bruh!
Holla At Ya Boy!
