I'm just so disgusted with how some black men are so unbelievably simple.@DrX
Real shyt....i've said before that if nikkas put half as much energy into chasing entrepreneurship as we put into chasing p*ssy, sneakers, pipe dreams of going pro out of high school, rapping, etc there would be more progress collectively
I see successful black people here all the time...black CEOs, business people, business owners, writers, corporate people, lawyers, doctors, athletes, entertainers, etc.
I want to see black men succeed DAMMIT...not being happy being mediocre.
@CodeBlaMeVi said it. We can't be average in america. WE don't have the benefit of white privilege where we can just be happy being mediocre and survive being mediocre. We really do have to be twice/three times/four times better than everyone else to get half of the results. This is why alot of black men are struggling. Besides the weight of institutional racism shutting many doors for us that could provide us with the lifestyle of being "average: that white people can afford, we don't have generational wealth. So black men happy being average and trying to be average...suffer. Cause that's not meant for us.
How are people...not paying attention to this!? Generations of black men and women are actually more likely to move down in class then move UP nowadays...we can't do what white people do and expect the same results simply because of our collective position!
This is why my thought process on everything has legit changed cause I have this in the back of my mind all the time!
