n. Community infiltrators who fake deep roots to gain trust, only to betray their own people. More dangerous than outside threats because they use authentic connection to ultimately sell out their community.
Remember: Rooted Out threats hit different because they know exactly where to strike - they're from the inside. Beware of those who use community roots for personal routes. 🚫
"They don't have to break in when they already have the keys to the community." 🏠

Example Behavior:
"They went Rooted Out on us:
- Grew up in the hood
- Claimed to be 'for the people'
- Got the community's trust
- Used local connections
- Built reputation as 'one of us'
Then:
- Sold out to corporations
- Turned on their own
- Blocked community access
- Changed their accent
- Denied their roots"
Identification Pattern:
"Classic Rooted Out moves:
1. Over-emphasizes their hood story
2. Always talking about 'giving back'
3. Uses family connections
4. Name drops local legends
5. Plays the 'remember when' card
Then switches up when the check clears"
Warning Signs:
"Watch for Rooted Out behavior:
- Too many 'back in the day' stories
- Excessive community promises
- Always filming their 'good deeds'
- Uses local pain for gain
- Claims exclusive 'voice of the people'"
Real Talk Examples:
"He went full Rooted Out - used his grandma's reputation in the community to get support, then sold the whole block to developers."
"She pulled that Rooted Out move - used the community center to build her platform, then locked out the same kids who helped her rise."
