A handful of teenage Boomers holding pickett signs down streets doesn't mean that the Boomers are responsible for the new rights that ushered after the Civil Rights movement. That was from their parents hard work and dedication. Most Boomers were children and preteens during the Civil Rights movement, especially Boomers born after 1954. Stop giving them praise for their parents accomplishments, especially when Boomers went out of their way to demolish everything that their parents set up for them.



Kennedy's assasination took place in 1963 and had absolutely nothing to do with the destruction of traditional values that came well after his death. The ravaging of traditionalism began with the Boomers when the oldest Boomers entered their adult years in the late 60's. Beginning in the late 60's we see the emergence of free love, free drugs, and what Boomers labeled the "destruction of the patriarchy" which was actually them rebelling against marriage and family values because they wanted their parents and each generation after them to be as bitter and miserable as they were. They intentionally started a movement to destroy centuries worth of traditional roles and promote a culture of disregard because they wanted to be rebel against society, hoping to be labeled heroes fighting against the establishment. Their decision to destroy America and the family unit was their own decision, no one forced or caused them to fight against a well established, successful structure that existed even well before they were born.



Boomers had nothing to do with this. The acceptance of Black America came post-Civil Rights which their parents fought in. Wow, Boomers have done an outstanding job of brainwashing younger generations into thinking they are heroes.

First paragraph is wrong...what I stated about the youth was fact...DOCUMENTED breh...

Second paragraph is subjective...Kennedys assassination was a major turn in American history...Americas innocence was robbed when his head got blown off for the whole world to see.....the rebellious nature of the youth in the 60s stemmed from many things....Kennedy's assassination was one of them...

Your entire outlook on people from that era is on some shyts anf giggles wanna be conservative bullshyt. Had they not destroyed Americas traditional values(whatever the fukk those are) America as you know it would not exist. This means the right you have to sit around bytching about a generation that did a shytload more for us as a people then ours did...perhaps wouldnt be possible. They pushed the envelope of civil disobedience...you sound like an old white man stuck on a year span that means absolutely shyt........Kids born in 1951 were part of the civil rights movement...rather they are considered baby boomers are not...

I read a good quote recently, something like "the same way wealthy families passed down opportunities to their children, poor families pass down all the burdens"

Great post

I advise people that come from fukked up environments to leave that shyt at all costs. Join the military or something. Being poor is like having a disease.

In the black community your family and friends can be some of your worst enemies when jt comes to advancing yourself. A lot of them want you to stay broke with them and have fun. You gotta get away and make new connections. When you are around people with money and are making moves in a righteous manner opportunities will pop off.

Started my own business in financial services firm. I found a niche in that even the biggest firms in my industry weren't doing. I expect to be doing low millions by next year if not this year.

I went from making 25k a year to 120k a year in under six years. I'll be making 150+ next year.

Two things:

Go where the money is.
Get out of your comfort zone.

I am not Rich, but I am not struggling either. Grew up in a household in a household that lived pay check to pay check in a part of town where that's how people lived. Most of my parents money went towards their properties on the islands. The reality of it is I wouldn't be where I am at if I didn't major in STEM. I make a decent living. Though niccas like to clown some people here drop legit hints on making a decent living through certs...study for the Amazon AWS or get an associate of CISSP, someone will open the door for you. I am constantly learning. With that said once I reach my goal, I hope to be working for myself but I haven't reached that level yet or may never be. At 27, I am more motivated than ever.

Have you taken the certification exam before?

Naw, well not yet. I am close to being done studying for the cissp(associate) , then next up is either the ccsp or aws. My friend did and he gets job offers a lot. Makes damn near 200K working as a consultant. So I give myself until the end of the year to pass both.

I went to school for something that wasn't high paying but after 3 years I found something similar and I'll triple my salary I made close to 100,000 per year

I would say get some experience in those corporate banks in the compliance area because they are paying good right now

But I also had to move around to like 3 different states Maryland Pennsylvania and Virginia but now I am back close to home and it was well worth it my friends who didn't want to move literally still work the same job they were working while in college I don't think people take enough risks

If you decide on aws, udemy has a aws course that usually goes on sale for 15-10. Im taking the course now, but I haven't touch since feb, finishing my software engineering this summer. Cant wait to get on that level, making 6 figures

80% Of People Dont Have The Drive To Change Their Circumstances Cause It Takes Hard Work That People Don't Want To Do

Think Of It Like Watching A YouTube Vid Of A Guy Who Built A Cool Ass Table, Or Installed His Own Pool, You Look At The Vid Like "Man I'm Gonna fukking Do That"

Then Comes The Digging, The Measuring, The Buying Of Supplies, Possible Set Backs, The Tiling, etc And By The Middle Of The Video You're Like "fukk I Gotta Do All That?"

That's Most People's Attitude About Life In A Nutshell
