Black Men need to "Man-Up", mentor these lil nigglets out chea.

[Rekkapryde]

This is my list of 100 Things Every Man Should Know and Be Able to Do.

1. Remember that your character is who you are when no one is looking.
2. Do all that you can to protect your good name.
3. Be accountable.
4. Be open to investigating a religious vocation, even if you don’t ultimately join.
5. Attend Mass at least once a week and participate in the Sacraments.
6. Know how to pray a Rosary and actually pray/meditate on it.
7. Change a diaper so that the baby is cleaner and you are no dirtier than when you started.
8. Use a soldering iron to fix a loose connection.
9. Be able to cook one signature dish.
10. Write three coherent, connected, and grammatically correct paragraphs. If it’s really necessary, you should be able to repeat the process well enough to add three more. Unless you have a job that requires extensive writing, that’s probably all you’ll ever need to get by.
11. Differentiate between various types of mortgages and insurances and know which one is best for your situation.
12. Make and follow a budget so that you can get out of, and stay out of, debt.
13. Tell a spellbinding (though not necessarily true) story.
14. Survive in water for at least a few minutes without drowning. 71 percent of the earth’s surface is covered by water. You’re bound to fall into it sometime.
15. Know basic first aid and the four lifesaving steps: stop the bleeding, start the breathing, protect the wound, treat for shock.
16. Be able to give, and receive, a great compliment.
17. Tell a joke that is (a) clean, and (b) funny.
18. Make a brief, informative speech in public without having an anxiety attack and/or using PowerPoint.
19. Recite the Ten Commandments from memory. If you remember them, it’s easier to follow them; if you follow them you’ll avoid about 90 percent of the self-inflicted damage that will screw up your life.
20. Carry on a conversation with someone who bores you to tears.
21. Recognize when you are boring someone to tears; listen more than you speak.
22. Make a plan for the first 24 hours after a zombie apocalypse. Sounds silly but you’d be surprised how much you can learn about yourself by thinking through unlikely scenarios.
23. Drive (and push-start) a car with a manual transmission.
24. Grow food; even if you never owned a vegetable garden, you need to understand the basic theory of how to grow food. When the zombie apocalypse happens, you’re going to be hungry.
25. Load, shoot, and clean a firearm.
26. Physically protect your loved ones and be willing to risk life and limb if necessary to keep them safe.
27. Lead your family in prayer.
28. Cogently explain and defend your most fundamental beliefs, preferably without raising your voice.
29. Take harsh criticism without being defensive, and endure an insult with grace.
30. Differentiate between love and lust, and avoid the latter.

Here's the thing though nikkas with skills, education and "aspirations" do the same shyt. He's lucky he has that, but does that somehow make him a better role model than a nikka who doesn't?

if you want to pretend like educated dudes who are going places are abandoning their family, that's cool; i just don't see it.

 

[OG_StankBrefs]

Then that negates your theory as well, dumbass.

Looka hea fakkit

- guy doesn't reveal nearly as much of his real bum ass self on first encounter. But his game/swag is strong n is attractive.

- goes on couple dates wit chick.

- Beats da absolute breaks off dat p*ssy and has da braud locked because of it.

- Since he already got da p*ssy, he goes back to "doin him"

- Braud realizes nikka aint no good but still can't get past da intense physical attraction and holy grail paynus.

- Braud continues to let da nikka beat n hang around.

- Braud let's buddy raw dog it.

- Wuh oh.

- Braud goes to Ultrasound appointment dolo because gold member aint bout dat pappy life.

shyt happens all da time nikka. FOH already.

 

[marcuz]

well see thast the problem. and thats how alot of men are responsible. they shouldnt have no aspirations, they shouldnt have no education and they shouldnt have no skills. they need to be a man, and be a positive influence on their childrens lies.

it sounds like you think women are solely responsible...and thats not what I meant by my post originally. it sounds like your basically letting men off the hook for being no good....

the problem is that there NO GOOD

is a kid better off without a no good father? possibly. by why cant he have a good father?

i do absolve men of most responsibility because i know they don't know shyt about fatherhood or being a man. if we want to talk about the 50s, 60,s etc, fine. we can go into black mens failures as providers and husbands.

but in a culture where choosing the wrong man is prevalent, and women have all the methods to prevent child birth -- it's 100% on them. it's just going to get worse, look at the younger generation thats gone like 3 gens w/o a positive father figure. these women will have this boys purses and yoga paints -- and it'll be clueless people trying to figure why those boys don't act like men.

from what im seeing, we're headed for a complete role reversal. there's going to be a lot of men who think its normal for women to be the providers.

c'mon man, you never heard of any atheletes/entertainers who are deadbeats?



avoiding responsibility isnt dependent of how much education or money you have

You choose not to see it would be the more accurate response.

 

[The Nigerian]

Seems more like a dozens match to me, friend. We all know what needs to be done but obviously, for a people who in our parents lifetime were sprayed with hoses, denied rights and kept ignorant for centires, there is no overnight off and on switch for the revival of these people. There is only time and time heals, friend. When the distractions of drug selling/importing and violence become less of a factor in communities with poor education, education stats will rise and the people wiill rise. While it remains, progress will be very, very slow and not the light switch you all dream of when you speak of what people need to do and not do.

Its so demonic, friend.

You're right about time. You're starting to see the decay of the culture and the people that we're talking about. It's becoming increasingly marginalized to the point where it's not going to be part of the "Black identity" of this country. 50 years and it will be completely wiped out from what I can tell. My grandchildren will know what it's like to be an individual instead of part of this invisible loser collective that we're currently a part of.

why did i know that entertainers and athletes was going to be the examples, i should have just gone head and clarified that in my original post.

sorry, bruh, but i dont media dictate reality. those are the 1%. by the way, most of those ball players aren't educated and they're mostly from single parent homes as well.

 

[Anothergirl]

This is bullshyt.

no it's actually spot on. it's just most it of BOTH genders should know how to do...

 

[marcuz]

You choose not to see it would be the more accurate response.

i dont know any successful educated men who have abandoned their family


i know several dudes w/o jobs who have multiple kids by different women though

 

[Peruvian Connect]

no it's actually spot on. it's just most it of BOTH genders should know how to do...

it's really not. i'll break down a few glaring ones.

"1. Remember that your character is who you are when no one is looking.
Tooo simplistic and nonsensical in a sense.

2. Do all that you can to protect your good name.
Having a good name doesn't make you a good person, just means you haven't been found out or judged harshly. So if I must protect my good name at all costs that could also entail lying and killing.

the rest is just nonsense

 

[Lavish]

i do absolve men of most responsibility because i know they don't know shyt about fatherhood or being a man. if we want to talk about the 50s, 60,s etc, fine. we can go into black mens failures as providers and husbands.

from what im seeing, we're headed for a complete role reversal. there's going to be a lot of men who think its normal for women to be the providers.

i disagree with you.

your still blaming women when the men are the ones that are the deadbeats

not every man shows signs he's a deadbeat.

the man is the main person responsible for this
