Poverty and pain will make a young nikka insane

Was never really poor, but had plenty of childhood trauma.

Me and my sister went thru all that shyt in the 80s until we got rescued by my granny. After that she kept us comfortable until we left the house. At an early age I vowed to never come close to being poor. My daughter has never experienced nothing close to what I lived through before the age of 8.

Power Constantly shut off

Didn’t you say that your father worked at a McDonald’s in Bensonhurst?? But he had you so what kind of logic problem are you solving?

Wasn't really poor...but at 32 childhood Trauma from having an abusive mother still haunts me.

I still get flashbacks of her swinging the belt buckle at my sister's head and watching my sister jump up from the blood leaking from her forehead is some shyt I'd never forget

Although I ain’t grow up dirt poor, I do appreciate the times the lights was out, the busted shoes, furnace is out in November, trips to the food bank, hand me down clothes etc.

I’m nowhere rich now but I’m comfortable and I never worry about money anymore. Paid off car, no debt, stable job, decent apartment I’m blessed.

Going thru them experiences as a shorty just makes me value what I have right now 10x more

Growing up wearing your sisters hand me downs

Luckily this was the 90’s where the girls wore men’s clothes

OP claimed his ol boy was a millionaire though

 

[Fill Collins]

my father is a millionaire on paper and he has a nice house and get to play golf all day, but he isn't rich. He can buy all his necessities but he isn't balling and he can't take care of his family. You probably need 10- 20 million to really be rich nowadays.

 

[Suge Shot Me]

Serious question: if you are poor poor and have kids, can't you get a decent amount of food assistance so that they at least don't have to go hungry?

 

[Wild self]

Nikkas weak as fck now days..

Shyt was common in the 80s and a lot of us made it through fine..

You want black folks to go back in that paradigm!?!???

Talk about mental slavery and crabs-in-a-barrel syndrome @Kyle C. Barker

 

[ignorethis]

OP is right

Want your child to be a criminal, keep them in a house with a lack of food and force feed them shyt they don’t like for survival.
