This is why black fathers instilling pride in their sons is so important. Very cringe read.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this.

shyt, tbh, I share a similar story with my wife.

When we started dating the 1st time, I was an IT in the navy with my whole life in front of me.

I broke up with her because I wasn’t feeling the long distance shyt with me constantly being in and out on the boat.

I got kicked out the navy a couple years later for selling weed to the crew members, thought my good boy life was over, and started hustling cigarettes up in NY when their packs went to 9 dollars, then graduated to selling coke full time all because I thought no one would hire me for a legit gig.

After a couple years of that (with some legit work mixed in sparingly to make my money look legit), I knew I didn’t want to be a career dope boy, so I decided to look her up.

One day I was in my kitchen, and had just finished copping a couple ounces of fishscale.

I was bagging it up, regular shyt, and something hit me out the blue like “call shorty now, your time here is over.”

Long story short, I found her, we instantly reconnected, and I let her know exactly what type of time I was currently on.

She was up in Maryland by this time and I was in VA.

I would hustle all week, then left my partner to run the business on the weekends while I caught the Amtrak to see her.

After about a year of that, she started asking me to move up there, but I didn’t want to because all my business was in my hometown and she was talking some rent a room from a stranger shyt, because she didn’t want to shack up without being married.

Of course I was like “fukk that” so she said “marry me then.”

I agreed that night.

I went back home, told my partner, kept like 10 racks for myself out my stash, gave my partner the rest of my paper and told him the couple ounces we had stashed for the drought was his.

(Edit point: going back to that premonition, my partner ended up getting robbed by this bytch nikka shortly after I left, who would’ve never tried that bullshyt if I was around (he told me so a couple months ago when I took my son to get a cut and saw this nikka was a barber now), then him (my partner) and another one of my close patnas both ended up doing 5 and 7 years in the pen)

I moved to Maryland, we got married at the courthouse in Laurel, and I found a job paying 10 bucks an hour working in the kitchen at this Nursing Home.

Meanwhile, my wife was making 60k as an accountant for Enterprise Rental Car.

After a couple months, I worked my way up to being a Recreational Therapist (basically the nikka that ran bingo and got the residents to their physical therapy appointments) and my pay jumped up to 14 an hour.

Meanwhile, she got a promotion and started making 65k a year.

She never made me feel like a lil nikka and treated me with the utmost respect at all times.

I went back to school for Psychology and around that same time she got pregnant with my twins.

We couldn’t afford DC anymore, with childcare being crazy expensive, so we moved to Raleigh, NC.

She got a gig with Credit Suisse and I got a job with United Airlines while still finishing up my degree at NC Central.

While finishing up my degree, I got offered a job in my hometown doing mental health counseling for an agency one of my childhood friends was running and she immediately was like “let’s go..”

Long story long, I worked in Mental Health for 10 years, and after I got burned out, was able to slide back into my original field of IT.

Everything came full circle.

She stuck by my side, with no complaints, through all the many ups and downs, and now we are living a life neither of us ever thought we’d have.... together.

There’s NOTHING like having a woman that’s truly down for you and if you don’t have one you need to find her ASAP.

I am beginning to think that some people don't know what love is. People are always talking about how African American women and men need to build together. Well that lady is doing her part and all that dude has to do is do his part and they will be alright.

Pride is a sin. And being prideful is one of the biggest problems in the black community.
I can admit that’s one of my biggest flaws. I refuse to be dependent on anyone, especially another woman. I’d rather be homeless then ever ask for help. But the reality is that we all need support sometimes.

I’m glad he found someone who saw the potential in him. Women in that thread are complaining about black women babying black men... rather than seeing a woman who picked up a man when he is down.

Yo these comments in the twitter thread are hilarious.

These same birds will be supporting women rinsing an athlete when they divorce then even though they did nothing but lie on their backs.

But how dare a woman uplift a man when he has nothing. They want the finished product in a man an expect just to bring their p*ssy to the table. But heaven forbid a broke man is supported by a woman doing well for herself.

That’s why I’m so glad I’m single right now. My ex wanted me to pursue my dream but somehow be superman and still have more than enough reasonable time for. Sacrifice doesn’t exist to them when you’re trying to make it. They want the finished product with none of the toil.

He found a rare one. :salute:

He was bummy and she payed all the bills and dates for him. Now they’re getting married.

That means she likes him. She obviously made more money than him at that time, but she must not have been some fake broad that put materials above a human being's worth. To be honest he seems like a good dude, because he is not ashamed to tell the World where he was in his life when that Woman went out of her way to help him. She literally stood by him in his darkest days, which shows she has his back.

If you think that is some bummy shyt then I hope you never have to witness spouses standing by each other as one of them is dying. Someone is at their lowest point, yet their spouse loves them enough to stand there with them to help them face down death.

I wish those two nothing but blessings and love.

And she fine too:whoo:


Not sure you can say its nothing wrong with it unless you would be cool with your daughter doing the same for a man:comeon:? But you have to assume good intentions on both sides when they are still together and happy. But truthfully she could have just had low self esteem and been buying dikk like many women are doing accross the nation. And he could have been using her then and still is today as part of his hussle. But you would have to be a miserable muthafukka to assume that when two people are on their way down the isle:pachaha:. Whatever the case may be seems like it all worked out for them on the love tip.

If I asked her why is she wasting her time on this dude and she gave me something tangible, I'd be hands off.
As long as it's her money and not MY money, it's whatever.
Tbh, I've come across people who legit have earth shaking gifts, they just don't know how to monetize it.
If the skill/talent is viable, and more importantly, the work ethic is there, I wish only good things on them.

Its pretty disappointing to see even Black women with some status (the founder of Black girls code in the Bay) are getting involved in this pettiness...

I was going to donate to that organization this year too... But I think ill pass now

Black folks have some issues that need to be sorted out, severely...

Twitter is a fukking joke, by the way. A complete joke...

If you aren't making income on twitter, then there is literally no reason to be on there...

Im seeing people with 500 followers and 18K tweets. Wtf :wtf:
