“Black men have a tendency to pigeonhole themselves into the most basic medicore type jobs and be content with just that. That mindset has to change”

I also think people assume the road to “success” is a quick and easy one. Like someone above me said: he was a line cook for years before he started his business. Social media, music and the manufactured images of scam… I mean “influencers” will have you thinking that it’s just overnight process when it takes years of hard work and failures to get it right. But because people lack patience and tenacity, as soon as failure comes (and it will come) they give up.

There should be a thread made about why black people always gotta live up to other people's expectations and not our own.
