She speaks on young black men/boys who would rather rob, scam, sell drugs and kill for money and make hundreds/ a few thousand dollars a day than work a legal career because it's "slower" and "boring". The way she's saying it, it's pretty much "What can I tell them to possibly change their mindset"?

The reality of it is too many black men are caught up in this weird glorification of "being real" and take extremely great risks for short term rewards. It's truly backwards and embarrassing. The mentality is a good 50 years strong now and realistically isn't going anywhere anytime soon. What's almost as bad as that mentality is people like the one in the video. From the way she's talking it almost feels like she agrees with them and trying to make an excuse for them.

What I would say to them is that if they don't care about their own lives/freedom that's one thing, but their Mom's life and rest of family's lives are at risk once they start running around in the streets. You still live in the same environment, and everybody in the streets knows or can easily find out where you rest your head, and where your family does.

And the drug game is drying up on most sides. This is the same shyt you hear from the late 1980s, but today, you better off scamming than being on the corner.

Instant gratification is for undisciplined people and crackheads.

It's depression + no social safety net+ wealth being seen as a virtue in America.

It's inevitable that they would have that mindset when they see the only people who look like them being happy is when they have enough money to go and do whatever they want.

 

[Indeed]

 

[old pig]

it was actually more important to hear than I thought from the title…it’s definitely a real “mindset” some young men have

 

[UnQuantized]

Reminds me of Jay Z's lyrics on "Can I Live" If these are my circumstances and all I have to live for, I have nothing to lose, I might as well take the risks.

When money is your idol, you make it the aim of life.

But they don’t have to struggle 70 years. If they focused on school and got a good trade or legit degree they’d be good by their late 20s.

You tell that lil muh'fuka that I don't take penitentiary chances every day for Xboxs and Jordans

 

[Will Ross]

You not making it 25 years on the streets lol.

 

[RickyDiBiase]

Literally why I don’t care when the fakkits get caught up and given 50+ year sentences
