Got dam this shyt retarded
These dudes wasted all day typing up stupid shyt and, of course, no proof has been produced.
Long post but I promise it will be worth the read....It's been a long day and I'm tired so be patient with the typos.
I'm a young blood born in the 90s. I have to say that as a college student trying to make a name from myself by creating a career, I feel like the stakes are a lot higher now and its harder to move up because this generation of black kids are the generation to go off and start CAREERS. We are the generation to move majority of blacks into the MIDDLE CLASS so we can create power, wealth and legitimate political clout outside of simple marches in Washington. I know a lot of white kids that party, fukk around, get drunk and do stupid shyt while still maintaining high wage and high skill jobs but the difference is that they get their work done, act professional and take their career seriously BEFORE they play around. Black people could really wreck shyt if we learned to stop fearing our ability to be great and took risks to push the boundaries of what is possible. I have a white female friend who put me to shame partying and loves getting drunk but she graduated near the top of her class as an accountant and now works for a biological company with a cushy salary. She made sure she got her shyt done BEFORE her partying. She was on contraceptives religiously to prevent getting pregnant. She would stay up for hours on end to make sure her classwork got done and studied for test to the best of her ability. She acted professional in her demeanor but she was the first to hit the clubs and you would have NEVER guessed it because she put her priorities in order. She has fun and fukks around just as much as black people but she makes sure her career is straight FIRST. I have an asian friend who smoked hella weed, was literally the blackest asian dude I know(dressed exactly like C4 Wayne) BUT he had nearly straight As, was taking grad level chemistry courses his junior year, was doing research at a medical school while in undergard and got accepted to medical school just recently. He was down to earth but he made sure he got his shyt done first and took his schoolwork and career seriously. If these guys can do it, we definitely can make something of ourselves. fukk those saying that black people aren't good enough.
After speaking to A LOT of white people, I have to honestly say white people couldn't give any less fukks about black people struggling. I know it sounds fukked up but if black people all were to become even poorer and demographics would become even more cringeworthy, white people won't bat an eyelash because they don't see it as "their problem". That is why I understand the importance of picking myself up, stop making excuses about my laziness and actually go contribute something useful to the black community so I can help lift us up to something better. White people aren't giving reparations and they aren't coming to our rescue EVER. Its up to us to stop the drug culture, stamp out violence, clean out our bloodstream from this molly fad, keep black youth out of prison, keep clean/safe community, own our homes, give our kids BASIC skills needed to be successful in school and make something of ourselves. I met a lot of wealthy white professionals and the way SOME of them view minorities and poor people is downright appalling. Some of them think black people are like Mr. Bojangles because they grew up in a wealthy suburb and never had to encounter black people so they have to rely of dated stereotypes. How are they suppose to give a quality service to those they view as inferior and not worth their time? Some of them were like the teacher on Everybody Hates Chris. They weren't racist but were so painfully out of touch with black people that it came off like they patronizing.
I had a friend who's dad was a VERY wealthy orthdonist and business owner and his dad was very hardline conservative republican and his wife almost had a panic attack and freaked out when she drove through the hood for A MINUTE AND A HALF while my friend's dad got lost trying to get to the college.(My friend told me and said don't tell his mom he talked to me about it) I believe they only tolerated me because I was one of those Drake looking soft black dudes who was "one of the good ones"*sarcasm*. You can tell they were not very comfortable with black people in general and they were textbook WASP wealthy republicans. It's like this for a lot of wealthy white professionals, WHO are the ones with the ECONOMIC MEANS to transform black communities. LUCKILY NOT ALL WHITE PEOPLE THINK LIKE THIS and this attitude is more common with the older white people, particularly the conservative ones. Like the white girl accountant I know, she is hella cool and comfortable with black people. I met other bohemian/hippie white people who were professionals that were looking out for a brotha, helped me by giving me tips when I was struggling with classes, invited me to parties, showed me the ropes of some situations and made me feel welcome. Now I am an almost straight A Chem major and I try to pass on the help to those struggling.
I feel like all of this peter pan syndrome and bytchassness is the growing pains of black people rising into the middle class. I see a lot of black people in the 40-50 age range working relatively low wage/low skilled jobs and a lot us 20's year old kids are wising up that we need to be BUSINESS OWNERS, DOCTORS, LAWYERS, SCIENTIST, ACCOUNTANTS, TEACHERS, PROFESSORS, ENGINEERS, COMPUTER TECHNICIANS, ETC. Not only do we need these professionals but we need to be rendering HIGH QUALITY service as well. Good isn't good enough and we need to learn for the sake of learning instead of simply chasing a large payout.
In the past, black people could survive on their own perfectly fine with bullshyt jobs but its getting harder to do that. Things are simply much more expensive and the stakes are higher. Tuition is at record prices and shooting past inflation, a lot of the high wage jobs and degrees that are Undergrad are now Graduate level(Dentistry, Pharmacy, Physician Assistant, etc) and business loans are not as easy to come by due to the depressed economy, declining home prices allowing less money for lending and stricter lending practices being regulated onto banks. Also those cushy blue collar jobs are being taking over by immigrants more than you think. (Knew a girl in high school who's dad was replaced by cheap immigrant labor even though he had well over a decade of experience)
I go to a cheap but still quality state school, got my financing straight before I came which means I will graduate with relatively little if any debt as a STEM major. I didn't waste a ton on a bloated private school so I could save money and I took personal financing to make sure I will know know to manage my money after college. I haven't made perfect decisions along the way to success, there was A LOT of trial & error but I have been busting my ass and taking risks every chance I could to further myself. I've tried to make sure I made the most of the hand I was dealt and be just as good, IF NOT BETTER than the white/asian/indian/etc kids trying to make it as well. I've also made an effort to reach out and network for opportunities. Not every opportunity lead to anything fruitful but I got the balls to at least try and some actually ended up being a saving grace. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. I understand that I can't shoot myself all the way to the top by my late 20's but I do intend of leaving a legacy with my life that black people as a whole can be proud of. I want to show my fellow black brothers and sisters that there is more out there than a rap career, drug dealing or a one in a million sports contract if they have a positive attitude, a willingness to grind those knuckles working hard, persistence, passion and a willingness to take risk and step outside of their comfort zone.
I feel that is why black guys today seem soft as a 90's born baby myself. I don't think we are soft, we think differently and we care about different stuff. We don't want to do it like those in the past because we want to push the envelope and take black people to places they never been before. We want to bring the culture out of the typical cycle of drugs/jail and poverty. I'm not trying to be the next Larry Elders or the token black conservative but its painfully obvious that the shyt we are doing now IS NOT WORKING. I can't speak for every young black dude and I don't know if I am alone in these feelings compared to other black dudes but I want to make sure that everyone knows black people can touch heaven, moon and stars just the same as the white man, asian guy, etc. I want us to have a strong and competitive black middle class with legitimate wealth. You can call it delusional, you can call it dumb, you can call it idealistic and unobtainable but I'll be DAMNED if we and especially I don't try. I'm pretty sure people thought MLK Jr. was a complete dumbass when he said he was going to make black people equal legally with whites with the civil rights movement.

All I ever wanted was the world
art thou upset?
Let me just say I was born in 1988 before nikkas try say I'm a 'gramps'
However I was raised by a strong alpha male who aimed to raise his sons to be the same and I can tell you @Uncle Kingpin and @Steve Piffler are telling no lies with the fact that the alpha male that men were supposed to be according to evolution is dying out to be replaced by the 'man child' little boys in grown men's body with no ability to handle the real world.
This is something no-one really wants to talk about, its an uncomfortable topic most people avoid. Compared to every other generation we now have the highest amount of young men being raised by women, alone. No father figure or anyone to guide them into manhood as previous generations enjoyed and it shows, it's not a coincidence that we have all these perpetual man children hanging by their mama's apron strings, weak and unable to handle the real world and we have a high number of boys being raised without fathers. This is the real fatherless generation, a lot of the dudes I know don't know how to do DIY around their house, fix things, fix their cars nothing.
nikka's have no trade skills and won't even attempt to renovate their crib or do handy work. Why ? Because no-one taught them that. These women raising sons alone have fukked up a whole generation of men, the 'mummys' boys who grew up around their mama's aunties and sisters, THIS is one of the MAIN reasons why men of today are softer than any other generation. While a dad might get irritated that his son his up under his roof, women are attached and want their kids to be as attached to them as long as possible which makes way for this new culture where people simply aren't growing up.
Fatherless generation who have no idea or even awareness of how to become a MAN because they were raised by WOMEN with NO real life positive images of MEN. The days of a dad and son working around the house and handling business is over, now you have all these mums who hug their 'big daddys' and 'baby boys' and get canoodled and never have the umbilical cord cut. THIS is the BIGGEST BIGGEST problem. Especially in black community.
Absolutely correct, the baby boomers were the single most damaging generation of all, reckless, irresponsible and down right stupid. They enjoyed the best wage to standard of living ratio, in the 80's brownstones in Brooklyn were $16,000!!!!, best house prices, credit opportunities, best career opportunities also, today kids have to go to university, intern, work hard. In the 80's there were wall street bankers who did't even go to university, there were self certified mortgages were you could borrow anything you wanted. They honestly had the best of the best in everything but they managed to fukk it up.
They also instilled terrible moral into children, the baby boomers are a direct reason for the 'instant gratification' generation, due to their reckless way of life they passed on a more magnified version of that to their children. Although you have to encourage your kids baby boomers told their kids 'you are amazing!!! you deserve fame and money!!!' without actually telling these kids they had to actually work for it.
So they created a world of young people in constant need of gratification, attention and reassurance, lazy kids who don't want to work for anything and like a microwave expect their fame, fortune and money to *ping* and be delivered with no work.
They ruined a lot for the younger generations today and our financial hurdles today are a direct result of the sheer level of irresponsibility of them in everything they did, their money management, parenting skills, everything.
This isn't about making kids homeless, the baby boomers got it wrong, you aren't supposed to baby children in their 30's living at home follow evolution, you reproduce and keep your family line going, your children SHOULD go out their and make their own life, the baby boomers and in their 60's housing and feeding kids in their 30's. This is not how life is supposed to be.
I'm pretty sure you don't hope to have kids in their late 20's and 30's in your house, although you have to be a parent forever there should actually be a limit as to how long you have a child in your house. Again, 20 years ago the notion of someone leaving home to make their own life was not crazy yet how people shame parents for wanting kids out.
I left my home at 18, I have never been back, I own my own home and will be marrying a woman and creating my family. This is how life is SUPPOSED to be, you are SUPPOSED to leave home and make your own and create your own family.
My kids can't live with me past age 21. I don't give a fukk, once they graduate from college, it's a wrap. They can leave.
If my dad let me just live at home I wouldn't have accomplished anything, part of becoming an adult is independence, people need that.
It's due to the fact they are insecure and have no identity as men due to the lack of male figures.
I am 25 and a conscious black male also, that's why it's more irritating to meet people age 22-28 with no social awareness, knowledge, independence or depth. Surprisingly for the amount of education and technology we have we are a stupid generation who simply don't think as deeply or analyse things as deeply. We discussed this in the thread wondering why c00ning is at an all time high with black men giving no fukks to c00n and just questioning why today people just don't even bother to educate themselves, more inclined to follow what social media dictates rather than pick up a book and educate themselves.
Only in America do people still hold on to that. Other first-world nations let their kids live till their 30s and then start life. With the cost of living out of control, and gas prices still sky high, that may be the norm very soon-if not already. Problem is, the broke ass people still think like that and have nothing to pass down to their kids who want to kick their kids out by 18. With no job skill and few career options, it only continues the cycle of poverty without a proper game plan to save up and to OWN shyt to pass down. Why you think that wealthy people laugh at us (outside of the money factor)? Cause our outdated mentality will leave us impossible to build wealth for the next generation. However, some people still hold on to the outdated 20th century ideas of getting on your own, getting married, and having a family by 25 as the idea ways of life. They refuse to accept change and to adapt to the new normal of the outside world factors, only to get shytted on financially and have NOTHING like their parents/ grandparents way of life. Especially black folk that think like that are always to brokest and stay the brokest out of every ethnic group.
I understand why the standard of life is going down too. Too many people refuse to acknowledge to have a NEW gameplan to tackle new factors of these times. That selfish "every man for himself" will ultimately end America as a whole. IT damn near ended the black community as it is and the blame game will never provide any solutions.
sit your ass down when grown people are talking.
