Serious question.

"Snitching" is usually mention negatively within the hip hop and black community.
Why is this? How did it come about?

Question spawned by that new boondocks ep :P

it aint just in the black comunity you fool lol

its all over the world, in my scheme in scotland snitches aka grasses aint tolerated.

snitches get stiches

Grass and your slashed

Why is this? How did it come about?
..Human Conditioning. It's the resistence to the Social Herd Mentality..

..It's instinct to snitch (i.e. tattletales in grade school). In terms of the Hip-Hop movement, it's always glamorized going against the grain. Where an "upstanding citizen" would snitch to preserve Herd Mentality of protection, it doesn't follow the stigma of the "street nigga"..

LOL True.

It's basically a principle held by people in working class areas.

it's bad to snitch because criminals can't go on criminalizing

we'd all be out of a job

^^ Haha. I lol'd

It all depends what you're snitching on as seen on CNN when interviewing cam'ron
even though he ain't gangsta at all i don't know why they'd interview him about snitchin
but anywyas he said if he knew a child rapist was in the area he wouldn't snitch on him
which is retarded and cam doesn't know anything but other than snitchin on PEDO's
it shouldn't be done.

i would snitch on a pedo in a heartbeat.
but only after i gathered a lynch mob and smoked him out of his house with molotovs right in to our waiting, angry arms.

Yeah exactly, though round my ways theres one exception for snitching. for example myself and 4 others were breaking into cars about 2 years back - we got caught in the act my the pigs, though only one of us was actually seen breaking into the car, there was 2 white fellas as well as me and 2 other brown fellas.. one of the white fellas was caught and coz he has been mates with us brown fellas and is more respected by us we all said it was the other white dude, and coz he wanted to fit in he thought he was cool taking the blame.

But if he wasn't there and the pigs didn't know who was breaking into the car, everybody would take the blame.

id snitch if the guys a prick.

I guess what i said above comic isn't actually "snitching" it's lieing.. so nah i guess there is no exception for snitching, unless of course of the obvious, such as someone raping or murdering your family.

I wouldnt snitch on anyone i don't care what it is. The reason why we donut snitch is because we want control of our community. Why snitch on a pedo that pedophile could end up getting a couple years or not convicted at all and be back doing the same shit. When we could just kill the dude and give him what he deserves. Not many people like the government. Not many people think our judicial system works. So in my opinion i think its our way of governing are community's.

^ basically what it's like round my mums ways, if i knew a pedo lived next door to me i could probably just tell about 5 dudes and they'd just walk into his house pretend to be all good with him and just beat him to death with a baseball bat.. and about a month ago a party i was at a dude got murdered and i knew both him and the murderer as did most ppl and even the mates of the victim didn't snitch, though he got found out because everyone was leaving him death threats on that bebo site and the pigs eventually got word of it and he confessed.

But i dont think the goverment really cares about murderer's and shit. I think when they lock people up for shit like that its just to protect the governments image. Cause like how crack kills more people but yet when you sell coke you get more time, cause the governments losing out on more money, it goes to prove the government don't really care about the people they care about they money and they image.

I agree with mass

Fuck Snitching, That Is The Weakest Way Out..

If someone does something that puts others in harms way and you do nothing about it, then you might as well have done the act yourself. Apathy is the worst form of evil.

Tattle telling may be cowardly, but so is bitting your tongue.

Real men stand up for what they believe in, and they are honest about how they really feel.

I don't believe anyone looks at a child being raped and honestly feels that it's ok. They may lie to themselves and others, but they know that they would not want to be on the receiving end of that act.

Tell the truth, take care of those who cannot help themselves, and if it really isn't your business and doesn't need your intervention, then stay out of it.

If you harm innocent individuals and I know about it and I can do something about it, then I will take you down. Forget about snitching, whatever it is that stops you is exactly what will happen.

Shit man, damn straight. If I see going down yeah I'm gonna tell the police, don't really give a shit if its "snitching".

So I assume everyone saying "fuck snitching" would still feel that way if someone killed or raped someone they're close to?

Oh wait . . . you'd hunt them down and kill them yourself right?

*Sighs*



A guy stole my friends car while I was running errands with it, and had someone not identified him (and it), I would have been out close to 18 grand. So no . . . fuck criminals, not snitching. I'd like to walk to my car at night without being on guard. When I worked in sales I didn't appreciate having to pay for missing merchandise because some asshole stole a 5 dollar calculator or 10 dollar electronic game. Every time one of you retards break the law, you slap hardworking people in the face.

Grow up and get a real job.

^It's treason, my suspension attract attention
I'm ventin', givin' these chickenheads detention
Did I mention my name, yo, go by the Jane Doe
Drenched in Polo, chill downtown in Soho
Anyway, I agree. I actually like cops, I went to Iraq with some cops and I trusts those guys with my life. Although not all cops are the same.

Regardless there is a difference between protecting the community and unnecessary prying. I avoid that line and I would only circumvent direct confrontation if there was an obvious and unavoidable danger in direct confrontation. I already served in war so I don't need prove anything to street punks. They don't know what a "soldier" is anyway.

Because snitches make lazy ass people have to get real jobs rather than sell their cheap stems and seeds I'd line a hamster cage with long before I'd smoke.
That and adding more bleach than coke and killing people because of course they spent their money putting 22 inch rims on their piece of shit honda accord.

Why snitch!? if something bothers you that much and makes you seriously think about getting the authorities involved, man the fuck up and sort it yourself. Simple.

.... Why should I risk my ass?
You got ten or twelve people sitting out by a phone booth armed with anything you can imagine you think Imma run up myself? What are you fucking retarded?

Look I don't care if I'm by myself but if I had family/children in a neighborhood and you're doing shit don't expect me to just sit there and tell nobody.

That's stupid.

I didn't say you should go up and take them on yourself, i just stated my views. I either make it my business or i stay out of it depending on the situation. Obviously there are many variables. If im on my own and see 12 people raping a girl obviously armed, then yeah i'll tell whoever i have to and do whatever i could to stop it. That goes without saying. I was just stating my opinion. Dont take it personally and start calling me a retard. Choose your words

I was a little harsh with that but that's what it sounded like you were implying...

I'd snitch on a kiddy fiddler.

Everything else I can easily pull a blind eye to.

In saying that though, i'd never take the blame for any cunt. So if it came down it me or them, fuck yes i'd sell them out. Then i'd beat the shit out of them for trying to put the blame on me.

Certain things need to be left un-spoken about, but little things that are just a laugh, are simply that; A laugh. I would never snitch on some cunt who's done over the local chemist or supermarket. I'd sit back and have a laugh with them about it. More serious things should never be mentioned, so no one has the chance to snitch. When i'm told something in confidence, my lips are zipped. Those kinda snitches who can't keep their lips zipped are the kind that end up toes'd up. It's not even a matter of some cunt narking on you, it's a matter of some cunt being unloyal.

But I'll say it again; I'd snitch on a kiddy fiddler. ...Not to the pigs though.

Like someone said before it's basically all about loyalty and respect. Murder, Rape, and Molestering doesn't come into it - that's just taking it to serious, cam'ron lost more respect than he would have recieved for saying he wouldn't snitch on a pedofile.

snitchin is overrated.

all the niggas that say fuck snitchin are just mad cuz they got caught. They'd snitch to save there ass if it were reversed.

Werd. If someone offered you $100,000 to give out information about someone you knew who killed someone, do you really think your ass is gonna keep quiet, especially if you needed the money to buy a shotgun to blow the fucker's head off cause he killed your mom???

I love snitching, I'm doing it right now on my brother for cussing

after that, I'm going to snitch on this chick at work to her mom for being a smoker, and my roommate to the women he loves for farting and slipping on vomit

then I'm gonna look around here, and see if there's anyone I can snitch on

^ im telling mum

i hate hiphop's view on snitching. if someone shot someone i loved i would want someone to 'snitch' and tell me who did it.

but there's stuff that's not worth snitching...like if someone's playing a ds lite in class and you tell on them..that's snitching..someone brought a gun to class and you 'snitch' that's just being smart.

of a peedo lived near me id proberly tell a few people and some one els would phone the police.

for most other shit, whats happnin is there bussiness. and if it happend to me and some one in my close family had been raped or murderd , yeah i would hunt them down and get them my self

not trying to sound like every other rebel teen, but honestly fuck the police, i swear most of them are bully victims trying to get back at people.. i've been tackled, thrown, stomped, onto concrete footpaths by pigs for fuck all, the first time i got arressted when i was 14 2 pigs were hittin the back of my head and saying "why u not crying boy, huh huh, why the fuck u not crying u only a lil boy, huh fucking start crying" and i also have a neighbour who's a cop he ain't corrupt but he smokes weed a lot and admits it, and have 2 mates training to be cops so i ain't gonna say i've never met a good cop, but the majority hate good looking kids who are out late at night lmao

I wouldnt go out my way to snitch, if im getting questioned and its a mate i wouldnt, or if i dont know the guy, but if the guys a cock then he deserves to be in shit. He shouldnt of made me dislike him.
