A Lot of (White) Millennials Get Significant Financial Help From Their Parents

[DrX]

Basically the same outside of both my parents and immediate family are/were doing some of the jobs you mentioned. I don't know why cats making it some white/black issue. I guess I shouldn't be surprised online though because as much as we say whites don't know about blacks its just as much the same in reverse too. I can tell when these types of threads pop up. Its always some white folks get money and don't spend it bull crap. Its soo annoying to see that too.

this board is conditioned to blame every black failure on white supremacy, no, some shyt we simply have backward as well.

Omg! This generation is one of the whinest, most useless, ungrateful, bytchass group of cowards I've ever encountered and I suspect it's like this by design.

Of course SOME whites get more help from their parents. Generational wealth is real. And while their grandfathers were stealing land and profits from our ancestors under systems of sharecropping, getting their kids into college with legacy admissions, discriminating against us in the workforce, mass incarcerating us for ridiculous sentences for shyt as simple as passing weed to somebody else, and blocking blk businesses, our ancestors were dealing with that bullshyt in a racial climate that was hostile at best, horrific at worst.

My parents grew up in the south and when they were little, their parents owned their land and every thing that went into their mouths came from their own hands. My parents moved to the city and had us. I watched my mom and dad struggle to go to community college while raising us. I watched them wake up at 5:00am to work and take care of us. They sacrificed 35 years of their lives to give my sister and myself everything. We still weren't rich. We struggled. We made mistakes.

But I would jump on a bomb for my mom and dad. They gave me a childhood of safety and love, cartoons, family, warmth and support.
When I went to college after high school, I had a free ride because they pushed me in school. If I have any debt or problems it has absolutely NOTHING to do with my parents and everything to do with me.

Which brings me to the point of this long ass post. Some of ya'll on websites need help. You suck at even speaking to the opposite sex, so you blame society or women. You're not successful, so u blame your parents. You don't have fukking friends, so u blame the blk community.
The problem is YOU!!!! YOU!!! YOU!!!!

Nobody owes u anything. p*ssy, money, love, friendship or power, so stop looking for fukking handouts. Your parents survived and wipe ur sorry asses and cared for u from the day u popped out. The majority of the people in the world aren't rich. How dare u blame that shyt on the ones who were there for u when nobody else was?

Ya'll kill me. Hell im trying to figure out how to completely eliminate my parents' debt so they can live closer to me in their old age. Some of ya'll are mentally fukked.

Had to fix 1st bold. The second bold though can't agree more. This site makes me sad that soo many have views that you speak on. Tbh most people who live their lives of blaming everybody but themselves usually end up not doing much either. Its just easy to come on here and commiserate with other cats on the same wave length of bytching cause it makes you feel comfortable in your views when often times offline people,will look at you way differently having these same views.

Success is almost entirely dependent on who your parents, and what they do.
I feel your sentiment, but times have changed, and attitudes need to change with it. America isn't as new as it once was, class lines have long since been drawn, and while it certainly is possible to "pioneer" independently, its incredibly unlikely. Kids from the hood aren't becoming neurosurgeons, or astrophysicists or world leaders in any significant number.
Bootstraps only exist in a vacuum.

I would have to be naive to doubt the generational wealth doesn't give one a leg up. But you cannot help the circumstances you're born in.
My issue with the whining is a temporal one. Now that you exist in this plane, in this time, what the fukk are u going to do about it?

And I'm sorry, but our generation even with poverty has it about 80 times better with a gazillion more opportunities than our parents had. Do u know most states will let u go to school for free if you maintain at least a 3.0 gpa? High schools now offer certifications in certain areas upon graduation.
If u take up a foreign language the opportunities are ENDLESS.

Comparatively, my blk Panaminan kids, my Afro Latino kids, my African students are running our fukking education system and their families are literally living cramped in 1 bedroom apartments with 10 people.

I'm tired of the excuses of this generation. We're being trained to become the stereotypes whites imposed on our community centuries ago: listless, lazy, entitled, hedonistic, irresponsible.

Our goals for wealth are flawed, our methods of obtaining wealth are flawed, and our reasoning for having wealth is flawed.
Our parents time is done for better or worse. And believe it or not, they were the best of us.

Now we're in the fukking hotseat and all I see is blame game, fear, hopelessness and a generation of spoiled, useless a$$holes merely looking for a scapegoat for their failures. When a child can come here from Tanzania, not know a lick of English and when he does learn its to describe his town being burned to be ground...
When he can graduate with a 4.6 grade point average after 2 years it tells me a lot about the opportunities we as a people are wasting because we lost the work ethic our ancestors had.

White supremacy is an easy copout IMO. Its easy to have excuses but IMO if your ass can be on some type of device to post on here yo don't have the greatest foot to stand on with regards to white supremacy. I'm not even saying it don't happen because that would be stupid but most aren't even far enough along for that to be a detriment. I think most people's problems are borne from how they spend their free time. The coli is cool but if you aren't where you feel you should be is this the best place to spend your free time talking about things where most are basically preaching to the choir? That's what I notice about most people that don't get as far as they want to regardless of race they waste their free time and then wonder why they are probably in the position their in.

Our ancestors were enslaved.
And there's a lot more nuance to it, particularly with child-rearing and cultural standards/barriers being imposed on children.
And you are right in a certain instance, the golden "immigrant child" who can come to America having been starved out in a different country with absolutely no access to resources, and graduate summa cum laude in four different math-related fields, and become an AstroDoctor.
PD Soros has about 30 of those kids every year.
That doesn't mean its a reality or that there is one solution. I can definitely sympathise with how you feel, but there's so more to it than just "entitlement,"

Bootstraps is another excuse maker word IMO. Kids from the hood could be more. Some have disadvantages no doubt but in this age of computers that isn't as good as an excuse as before. When most people have access to phones and Internet that means they usually have some if not a lot of money coming in so use that to come up slowly. Using bootstraps as some end the discussion word is tired and unproductive. Using how some think if you from the hood might as well off yourself since chances are you ain't going to be shyt and I can't jive with that at all. You don't have to be a neurosurgeon, astrophysicists, and all that bullshyt. Only reason some people want to do those things (not those really into it of course) is because its a stereotype of smartness when being realistic who really cares about that? Do you like those things? I don't so why would I try to do them? I like other things and that's what I work on. The name of the game is to get money to make it better for the next generation and the other stuff comes afterwards and that in this computer age is definitely possible.

One thing I will say is we have to somehow get younger kids more involved in that but tbh it doesn't seem like its younger kids who aren't interested but moreso teens trying to fit in. The young kids try to learn everything most of,the time ime but the teens are moreso trying to fit in. I don't know how to change teens outside of showing cats balling from things that aren't the norm and having more access to those types.

I don't think that is completely true. my parents went to college and my moms was an elementary teacher and my pops was an accountant. however, they didn't fill out college applications or EVER help me get a job. I was on my own for all that shyt.

How'd she graduate med school in three years

maybe I have the date wrong. I know she finished last year in may. I thought she started in 2012. maybe it was 2011. I don't remember.

I see this same mentality in kids at school. This idea that people owe u something. Like you shouldn't have to work for anything.

Poverty isn't the problem. It's the idea that some people think shyt should be given to them and quickly!

Had a kid fail a class because he mad the teacher wouldn't give him a pencil. Everyday! He wouldn't even borrow one.
How the hell do u get this spoiled and entitled when you don't have anything?!

Cause his momma is that entitled

While white supremacy is at the root, it's not the excuse. You should work that much harder to defeat that shyt.

The gap is widening though...Black folk are catching on...

I knew this one black family where the father and mother paid for EVERYTHING for their children.
When I say everything...I mean EVERY-FKN-THING!!!
Weddings, cars, houses, apartments, court costs, divorce costs, tickets, bills, clothes, watching their kids 7 days a week 24/7, you name it...
Even did the thing where they retired south and sold their house and bought their least responsible kid a house with the money and gave the leftovers to one of the others.
And these grown ass kids STILL asking for help!!!!!


I'm laughing...them kids had their damn hands held they whole lives into their 30's and know nothing of real life or struggles or rolling solo.
Reality about to bytch smack em for real...

This is enabling. It's also a no no. Man, y'all need Igbo parents. It's like y'all can never get it right ever.

 

[Jack Skellington]

my parents helped me along the way....they always had the philosophy of being willing to help their kids if we were making progress toward something. i plan on doing the same - definitely a good way to keep each generation progressing.

- my mom paid my cell phone bill until i was 24
- she paid for college and my UG student loans
- my dad paid off one of my grad school loans
- dad paid my car insurance until i was 24
- dad gifted me money to help buy my building and renovate it
- mom used to send me a couple hunnid a month while i was in grad school

and these were regular ass people who simply built together...my parents aren't doctors, corporate execs, lawyers, etc. they just some folks who were young when they got married and kept hustling until they were comfortable

salute to your parents
