You been watching

Maybe so breh, but it made a little sense when you look at why white men are showing their asses right now. And why white cops is killing nikkas like nothing.


I can't pinpoint what it was that I read but I'ma try to find it

Be careful. Some nuts and berries just flew out of your mouth and almost took my eye out. While binary star systems are more common than single star systems, new stars don't just magically appear.

I know it sounds like Mist

It was just something interesting that I read.

The white population decreasing due to low birthrates, More black folk having kids with people of other races in record numbers, Hispanics are gaining more economic and political power. The world you grew up in is gonna go through a major social revolution really soon, and sadly, a lot of the unprepared undesirables will get left behind or eliminated.


I was once that super-militant pro black dude, but after seeing all these changes these last few years, I just accept it and do my best to save people that want to be saved. Let the underachieving bums rot and stop procreating, for all I care. Maybe then my kids can come to a better world where these problems are marginalized enough in order for them to grow up to be regular, good people.

And its still drops in the bucket compared to bm/bw children so calm down.

So should the first settlers of America NOT have had kids since they were poor?

The difference was people would have more children back then because it was like a lottery. More than likely your children would die due to diseases like polio, small pox and chicken pox. Vaccines didn't exist so if you had multiple kids you were LUCKY if one of them reached adulthood. Also children were used to go to work during the Industrial Revolution and take care of the farm duties during agriculture. The children actually had a purpose in those times. They helped the family more than hurt it. Today people have more kids that they can afford and not only are the children likely to survive due to lack of disease related deaths (relative to back then), but the government actually pays to feed those children, which ultimately makes the poor feel less responsible for the lives they bring into the world.

If they couldn't take care of their kids that was THEIR problem. In 2012, people not taking care of their kids gets made into everyone ELSE'S problem. It's to the point where people are trying to shame people who don't even have kids into taking care of the children who belong to irresponsible parents.

See the difference?

People keep saying "teach the kids. Each one teach one." More airy fairy, nuts and berries, Tyler Perry BULLshyt!

How long have people been "mentoring" blacks in inner cities? Since the 1980's. How long have people been saying that situations in the inner cities are "starting to turn around"? Since the early 1990's.

Clearly that hasn't been working. You want people to fix a leaky ship, meanwhile you and your children are drilling holes at the bottom of the ship.

That each one teach one doesn't work. Stop acting like it does. It's not worth the headache to fix that ship when you can build a new one and keep the undesirables off of the new ship.

Why would we keep them off though? They still with us, no matter how far we try to distance ourselves from them. We HAVE to help each other. We have to be WILLING to get our hands "dirty" (meaning we gotta go out and try) to do it...Sounds like you just want to "give up" and try and start all over.

I'm not attacking you, just pointing out, we have to try. Some of those "undesirables" are my family/friends so if I can be an example to them and maybe that helps, than thats what I'll do.

and I'm trying to teach the younger crowd, while also not forgetting about the teens too. I don't want to brag, but I do get out and try to implement some of the things I'm preaching. I try to work with youth AND teens. Do I get thru to all of them? No. But I KNOW that a few of them I've had an impact on so it definitely works...Yes, it isn't easy, but what GOOD things are easy? We have to work, and it's a LOT of it to do. Not saying we're gonna be 100% lovey dovey, but hell, any progress is good progress.

Just don't think we should leave the "unguided" out. Those are the ones we have to do the hardest work for.

I'm close to ATL

I need to do this

Damn..."help our children" doesnt necessarily mean put money in their hands or something material...

You can be a mentor in just how you act/behave...Being a mentor means doing the right thing, walking right, talking right, living a good lifestyle. You all I think miss how important it is for kids right in your neighborhood to see that. Be the one going to college, they might see you and say, "well this dude/girl went to college, maybe it's not as far-fetched/impossible as I thought"

You never know, you may be the ONLY person they see that's doing the right thing. As a male, YOU may be the ONLY man they see treating a lady right (not pimping them or running thru them or whatever) they may never say a word to you, but they looking at you.

Think about how many songs or interviews where somebody says "I used to see the older heads blah blah blah" they remember that, so YOU may be that "older head" to someone else.

Just because it isn't your kid per sae, it is YOUR kid(s) because they're in your neighborhood/church/community. So I feel some sort of responsibility if they not doing right...Like, what more could I have done to help/prevent some of these things...again, you not gonna get EVERY kid but every ONE helps just a bit.

It's both a male and female responsibility, not time for pointing fingers.

I'm THAT guy who tells young boys on the bus/train to get up when they see a lady standing...not in a disrespectful way, but in a way that says, you already know you should be getting up for her, why aren't you doing it?

EACH ONE TEACH ONE, thats the motto!!

5 star post

Hispanic women having babies at rates that black can't even touch, especially the Mexicans. But their single motherhood rates ain't touching black women's despite being just as poor and even less educated. Use a little logic and figure out why. Which culture has boys and girls getting married in their teens and working whatever menial jobs they need to to support their families and which culture is talking bout YOLO, I wish I could fukk every girl in the world

It ain't the women kid

While their situation is better than ours it ain't exactly sunshine and rainbows either.Their single parent households are 50% and climbing.

No other group tries to keep the undesirables in... Sorry but class exists. I really have a hard time understanding how some of the flashiest, ostentatious and show offish people on the planet can love money so much, but absolutely despise the idea of class. THIS IS A CAPITALISTIC SOCIETY. Capitalism is based off of inequality. This isn't Noah's Ark. Some people are too far gone. This isn't the movie where the bad guy will always lose and the meek end up ruling the world. In REAL LIFE, the bad guy can and usually will win. This thread is full of people thinking on a humanitarian level and that's noble, that's great, but that mentality is not conducive to creating a better community.

What your forgetting is, society has changed. Back then a person could literally just work hard and they would at least be able to feed themselves and their family. Now a person can work hard and do everything right and yet still not be able to support themselves or their family. America made it to be such a succesful county because it's citizens have always worked together for the greater good of the country. People have always sacrificed for those that needed it in this country.

People like you like to make this false assumption that all people on public assistance are poor, lazy and unmotivated. When the truth is, the percentage of people that fit this description is very low compared to families that actualy use the assistance to better themselves and contribute to society. If you've ever got school loans, tax credits/exemptions, emergency health service, SSI, unemployment, or gone to public school, you have received public assistance, and it's this public assistance that helps us ALL be competitive in these changing times. The idea is that by offering these public assistance programs now, more Americans will be succesful in the future, and in turn will contribute to well being of America.

Now we're having a real debate here!
