#14 - Keepin’ It Real
Published by imaG March 28th, 2008 in SRBPL
Humans cannot live in peace and harmony all the time, so we engage in pointless arguments. Some enjoy arguments more than others. Black people seem to find themselves in an argument 2-4 times a week, whether it’s a family member, co-worker, friend, boyfriend or girlfriend, or spouse. When these arguments occur, the Black individual has two choices.
Choice #1: Walk Away to deflate the situation.
Choice #2: Keep it real.
85% of the time Black people will go for choice #2. This is because Black people love “Keepin’ It Real.” Definition - Staying true to your “roots”(Real), priorities, or principles as a person and applying them to a certain type of a event or situation. Another term for Keepin’ it Real is real talk. This is the equivalent of Keepin’ it Real, mainly used in the South.
Keepin’ it real gives a sense of pride to the Black individual. One who is keepin’ it real will stick to what they believe in, even if it’s completely absurd. Upon arguing with a Black person, do not attempt to escalate the situation. The last thing you want to deal with is a Black individual when they’re keepin’ it real due to the fact that the most common outcome is normally a fistfight or worse. If you are not Black and find yourself in a situation where a Black male or female is keepin’ it real, evacuate the area as soon as possible.
“Keepin’ it Real” is a known staple in the Black community. If you see a loud argument in public don’t be alarmed, just realize they’re just keepin’ it real. Even religious leaders in the Black community participate. Remember, Weeks and Bynum, the kicking, the stomping, the sermons. Yeah, he sure did keep it real. Too real.
Exhibit A. - Keepin It Real + A Cheeseburger.

Remember, sometimes keepin’ it real is a good thing. Ever had someone keep it real with you?

You see that as a good thing, I see it as more graffiti by stupid fucking niggers.
I see the bigots continue hiding behind anonymous posts.
G, thanks for the advice. So, how does someone who’s not black back out of that situation without looking like the bitch?
Personally I’ve always thought of “Keeping it Real” as an incomplete sentence - and I tend to want finish it for you:
Keeping it real: stupid, ignorant, gutter, ghetto, backwards you get my drift?
The best thing to do rational is to stay calm and walk away slowly without turning your back and act as if fighting is above you. This way you look more civilized than the irate individual.

I agree with you Pamalicious, there are many different ways to Keep it real.

Keepin’ it Real is just one of many ways that various cultures work out their differences…even white kids trapped in suburbia like me know about keepin it real.
In Lutheran Minnesota/Wisconsin, you never keep it real - you got a problem with someone, you don’t talk to that person and glare disapprovingly. Fortunately for me, my family isn’t Lutheran - we come from strong German Jewish stock and we keep shit fucking real. Arguing is what we do best!
As for the vid, killer - and as always, a classy post, my friend.
So stubborn more than keepin it real
We can keep it real…real dumb at times!
