Listen not all parents need money... so obviously this doesnt apply to u.... lol.
But if they did need money or anything fukking else from u.... they should be able to get it... in abundance, right?
Because u never wanted for nothing. U had clothes, food, and a good overall upbringing, right?
If ur answer is yes, I would give my parents what they want...
They we are in agreement...
Alot of blacks I know have the same stories... and feel the same way I do...
But I would think the muthafukaz who grew up even better would feel the same way too, because..... u know.... they grew up better lol
Edit: and to answer ur question, yes... for the most part.. that is the black experience.... ur experience would be an exception... imo.. I'm sure theres some stats somewhere to back that up tho...
And I def dont think u should be ashamed of it... but u should be ashamed thinking its "cleaning up their mistakes"
I agree with your whole post, but the pride I get is being able to provide. Why would you take pride in something you’re supposed to do, essentially the bare minimum according to you?
Can u explain ur post...
I want to understand it alil better b4 I respond.. I think I know what ur saying but not sure
It’s not only that, they are getting inheritances.
Business are being passed down.
College educations are being paid for and subsidized.
Coveted internships can be taken because they don’t have to work for pay.
Acres of land, grandma’s house, and family farms are getting passed down.
Parents are giving homes, condos, or down payments for homes as graduation gifts.
The wealth gap is so much more than just taking care of other relatives financially.
Yet some folks out here complaining that one person is trying to keep 5 adults afloat?
Those folks need to direct all that energy in the right damn place.
Prolific. I didn't even consider the internship angle. Goddamn.
When your parents didn't behave as parents, why honor them?
If ur parents ain't parents then I dnt think were talking bout them...

“ bytch Get A Job “
Basically, I take pride in getting to where I got in life to be able to provide, since statistically I shouldn’t be anywhere near where I am. So I don’t provide for my mom out of a sense of owing her. She did what she was supposed to do by raising me correctly. She also went above and beyond for me, getting me into scholarly and athletic programs, and always being present, but all of that goes into being a good parent imo. But, all of that to say, I provide for her out of a sense of gratitude, and seeing a smile on her face, and because I’m able to, not because I feel I have to.
Only way I feel I owe her is if the day comes when she can’t take care of herself anymore. At that point I will definitely feel like an ain’t shyt nikka if I don’t step in.
But that’s where ppl could also be different. My moms always raised me to stand on my own 2, be my own man, and set me up to provide for myself, by exemplifying all those things to me, herself. So she doesn’t expect to be taken care of, and doesn’t ask for ANYTHING from me. That gives me even greater pride when I can provide.
This was all over the place
ramblings of a mad man, but I hope I at least gave some clarity
Gotcha gotcha... I see what u mean.Basically, I take pride in getting to where I got in life to be able to provide, since statistically I shouldn’t be anywhere near where I am.

I think ppl can look at it different ways for the reasons they should always look out for their parents...
Just pride in giving... pride in being at a point in life where u cant give...
But I always look at it like this...
Ppl think decent parenting is a given... I keep seeing ppl say "Well that's what they were supposed to do"...
But that shyt ain't a given...
So I feel like I do owe my mother...
When i was a lil kid and couldn't protect myself, she made sure nobody did any weirdo shyt to me... she did alot of things just so we can have food..
She didnt really have to do none of that shyt bruh...
I feel like we owe our parents for just giving a fukk...
That shyt ain't a given
