I Envy You Brehs in Your Early 20s

[Lord_nikon]

I'm in the tail end of my 30s, still youthful and full of vigor, but obviously nearing middle age and fearing the onset of With everything happening now, the country making a full on tilt to open white supremacy, it's obvious that the rhetoric is going to become combat between the races. White nationalists aren't letting up, Trump has emboldened them, and these "liberals and centrists" who some of us foolishly believe to be our "allies" will stand to the side and shed crocodile tears as we are led to slaughter. I think the clash between these Trumpites/Alt-right/Cacs and our community is heating up and will reach a pitch within 10 years. Unfortunately, I'll be in my 40s and slowing down, possibly with a family to provide for, with sons and daughters to look after, most likely at a time when they and everyone else will need able bodied black men to lead the charge. For those in their 20s and even younger, I hate to say this, but I envy the physical aptitude you will possess at the most pivotal moment in our lives. I hope that I still have gas in the tank.

[Bumblebreh]

[Henri Christophe]

I don't envy them. I'm 34, I grew up without social media, listened to hip hop during it's GOAT period, and got a stable job before the market collapsed. Now I'm sitting nicely on some bread and a 401k but still young enough to do whatever.

Beyond that, don't expect these young dudes to lead a charge. Most of the youth is beyond fukked. They grew up without notable leaders and in the era of social media. Hell even during that shooting yesterday, some kids thought the best thing to do was pull out a phone and record what was going on. They might have the energy but they need guidance.

You must be living a shyt life... My early 20 were ass, I'm in better shape at 30 than I was at 20-24. Doing alot more, living alot better, and enjoying much more of my life in general.

Stop selling experience short....there are very rarely YOUNG generals in the struggle. Now is more time than ever where we need non-absurd, non-incendiary leaders for people to look to...

Everyone has their part to play, both young and old.

There are plenty of 30-40 years old that are in better physical shape then many 20 year olds especially the ones who sit inside all day and play Xbox. Don't worry you'll be fine....

 

[Mordith]

Its hard to envy dudes that young these days......they all broke amd foolish

The fact that OP is envious of them shows that he is broke and foolish as well...

Yall read what I said? I'm talking about being in my physical prime. This has nothing to do with money.

All that youth don't mean shyt when you broke and ignorant.

As my pops told me as a young man. "your 20's is nothing but a big ass playground, but in your 30's and 40's where you have become a MAN, the world will be a much more fulfilling place for you."

I literally play soccer at least twice a week, most of the time I'm out running the teens and 20-somethings...Yeah, you'll slow down...but you should have enough savvy to know how to conserve energy and work in bursts by now.
