Is there any proof that this generation is "Softer" than previous generations?

they mostly likely think this because homosexuality has become more accepted.
and they're just repeating a cycle without realizing it. There were people in the 50s saying their generation was fukked up :childplease:

Mexicans are the poorest large ethnic group after Blacks :comeon: If you would have said Africans, Arabs or Asians, you may have had an argument, but then I would counter that immigration picks the best and brightest to come over as adults with much more proficiency than the average American young adult that is spit out by our shytty school systems and neighborhoods. Face it, you old nikkas ate good and now there's nothing left at the table.
Your only proving my point. Blacks are the poorest, mexicans are second poorest. There's no excuse to having illegals be more successful than you. Everything i have i earned, nobody gave me shyt. As far as nothing left at the table, let me give you some advice. There will always be room at the table for those who are good at what they do. An example of this is lawyers, the market is saturated with lawyers but there will always be jobs for the best and brightest.

Mexicans were not systematically put into slums where there are lack of jobs, education and other resources. They have had more volition and cognizance than us by design not by our negligence.

Our best and brightest tend to leave us in the dirt. The Chinese elite setup "Chinatowns" and put their people on.Where is our shyt at? Can't expect poor, uneducated Blacks to come to their senses if our leaders not even giving a fukk.

A lot of it is culture. Mexicans will rent out an apartment and live 10-12 deep in there. Work construction, at the home depot...whatever. They are willing to go after it even if it means working for what amounts to pennies on the dollar to scrap up and move forward. Once one of the seeds grows up to be 18? They scrape as much as they can if they are in a position to go to college and the money tends to stay in the family longer than what black people or any other hispanic background has really. It's almost beautiful to watch because of how they are, I lived next door to some Mexicans back in NY and those dudes worked LONG HOURS AND A HARD JOB. Their situation now? They scrapped up enough to where the daughter finished college and is now a teacher...they got 2 cribs in Connecticut and are doing good.

It's actually why I feel so bad for Republican leaders who don't get it...Mexicans and many other hispanic backgrounds are conservative when first coming here, but Republicans bypass all that and kept harping on the fact that they are/were illegal when they got here.

Maybe @Slystallion can kick some knowledge on that end...I will NEVER get it.

I'm from one of the worst projects in america - Van Dyke Houses, Brownsville Brooklyn. If the crack epidemic had an epicenter, it was there. By your logic i would have all the excuse i need to not make anything of myself. All being black in America means is you have more obstacles in your way. It's not easy for anyone, white black or otherwise, to be successful in a system designed to make you fail.

I do agree that blacks when they become successful abandon the plight of the others left behind. They move to the burbs and in a way act as the house negroes keeping the field negroes in line. They love to copy and follow everything the white man does. If blacks had an immigrant mentality, they would be better off for it. Jose, Muhammad, Vishnu, and Han don't chase the american dream and neither should we. This is not our country, and the sooner we realize that, the sooner we'll learn to stick together and get ahead collectively. I moved back to an urban area from the McMansion in the burbs because we need positive male role models, and people with means using their money and influence to make our community better.

A lot of kids in this generation are fatherless, they have use the internet to get answers that would've been answered by a male relative.

"how to shave?"
"how to talk to girls?"
"my girlfriend cheated on me, should i take her back?"

The internet has also made this generation very anti-social. Most dudes rather sit around on the internet and gas girls up rather than going outside and talking to one.

I just hate that Blacks get compared to people immigrating here legally/illegally. Blacks undoing has to do with lack of insular culture via slavery. The White man did a number on us and it's going to take a minute to get on our own two. I will say what we have achieve in the 150 years of freedom is significantly more impressive than most other ethnic groups coming to the US.

nikkas is definitely softer nowadays because they can't throw hands. Can't remember the last time I saw two youngins shoot the fair one.

I wouldn't use clothes as proof though. Skinny jeans don't mean you're soft, just gay. But I guess all the gay nikkas is another sign. :patrice:
Also, this.

My uncle told me that back in the days if someone would wanted to fight you, you'd do it one on one boxing style.

Nowadays kids either jump in,someone gets stabbed,someone gets sucker punched,or someone loses and calls their goons to jump you.

I didn't say to not strive for perfection, but people like you, who ignore that most Blacks start off with a - 10 handicap and no assist from their parents, schools, etc, are not starting at the same starting point as other people. We don't have the immigrant mentality because we aren't immigrants. Our best and brightest have to lift up our brothers who don't know any better. The Chinese and Arabs understand this principle of insular autonomy.

it's the parents fault. first off, there are more single mothers than 2 parent households (i won't go too far into that for obvious reasons :comeon:) and kids are coddled more. these lil fakkits don't leave the house to be on their own until they are in their mid to late 20s and shyt. my pops left his moms house at 17. got married at 18 (i wouldn't suggest ANYONE get married nowadays at 18 tho), and carved a life for him and his family ever since. just like countless other men from his generation and before. picture a lil soft ass 17 year old leaving home and moving to another state by himself to start a life...:childplease:. i left the house at 21. and that was as SOON as i finished college. so did my younger brother. These nikkas nowadays tho...:wow:. i have lil cousins WELL into their 20s and still living with their parents. its sad. kick their grown asses out of the house and FORCE them to get something for themselves. being 26 and working at Becks Prime and driving a challenger while living with your moms is NOT the move. and when they do move out, they are getting a place with a chick and knocking her up and not want to build a life with her. then they cry about child support. i can go on forever, but i'll stop here. there are COUNTLESS men out here doing the same thing.

shyt is ridiculous. this is one of MANY reasons that men are soft nowadays. you leave your mothers house just to end up at your womans house. have a bachelors pad for a while. get to know yourself and get your shyt together. learn what you like and dislike about women before you pick a life partner and knock her up. this is what i will tell my sons when they get to that age. and despite what their mother might say, their asses will be out of my house no later than 21 (give them some time to finish college, then it's :camby:)

:salute: my breh steve piff just dropped some shyt..cosign all of this

Umm, Zuckerberg is my generation. I was in college and had classes that required facebook, back when it was .edu email addresses only allowed to sign up. What heights have you taken it to? Facebook was better when it wasn't open to everyone. Now it's like MySpace, and is slowly dying outside of international users.
And this is my point again. How are you going to hype up something that you weren't even able to use? Y'all "hard" nikkas was in ivy league and elite schools where FB first started? :laff:

Why is it that the only things you can count as a claim to fame are things white people have done? But in that same tongue, double speak about how hard your generation is?

Is it black girl lost or shorty owe you for ice nikka? :cmon:

One minute you nikkas are "hard" and not accepting of "soft" (which is code for middle class/white on here), the next minute you're the reason FB exploded because you're so tech savvy and culturally accepting/curious. :troll: :camby:

You're posting about having an .edu email one minute (which would mean you are in college, being educated, and in a culturally diverse/soft environment) and then next minute talking about being "hard". :heh:

Y'all "soft" as well and even worse cause your generation has no purpose and has no ideas how to use the tools given. 99% of this board couldn't get a popular trending topic going for shyt and whenever I see y'all post your twitters up, you have minimal followers and ya jokes ain't even funny. There's no "community" around you.

The only reason FB blew up is because they opened it up to people of my generation.

We elected the first black president. You 80s babies were too busy clamoring over hip-hop being dead while my demographic came out in record numbers for a cause changin' this country :jawalrus: :wow:

This is what I'm saying. This is why our generation will be great. We are a very solid group when you compare us to generations prior. Probably because the internet has exposed us to so many facets of life. 20 years ago, a hood black guy and black guy from the really nice suburbs could not co-habitate or get along. Can we really say that today?

nikkas sayin' our generation is poor, but look what generation we come from :damn:

Of course black people don't have much of anything after the 80s generation. You all fukked up because you're focused on being "hard" and all the other street shyt. Only thing is, you all were content with that, which is why a lot of 90s babies don't have anything. 90s babies barely have their foot in the door of the working world. Not even 2 years in yet so of course we don't have an economical impact just like every other race of our age group. That's a given. If there's anyone making black people poor, it's the bum ass 80s babies because they are of age to have viable careers.

How TF are you gonna blame the black community being poor on people who aren't even old enough to work yet? :laff:

Our generation is creative as fukk though, and definitely more accepting/solidified. We will go a lot farther in the long run.

A whole lot of what you are saying makes sense, but be careful with that last bit there...women have so many legal options and advantages these days that they can spin that into a divorce battle.

You are lucky because you've been married for a long time already.
