I've been catching the distaste that some posters have for those hiding behind the online identity; and frankly, some of the fukkery has put me off. I have no idea who stands for what.
I'll just be straight up here: I am a 22 yr old white male and the first in my family to go to college.. I found this site digging for music samples and came across a golden thread in the lounge.

I'll be finishing my final year with almost 130k in debt...
I'd head back to high school and take a pass on that if I could but :yeshrug:

Regardless, this is an american empire in its age of decadence and decline and i'm trying to get out as soon as I can. This country is and has been, historically, fukked in the head.

Though i'm not one who invests himself in politics and votes, it does not mean I can't take an interest in the place i currently live. Are there any considerations as to how our recently militarized police force could begin to be changed without using drastic action?

It feels that we would be hard pressed to find any government intervention on this issue considering the current state of congress and the president's inaction. In addition, while this is certainly a racial question which I am not entirely entitled to speak on; where is this headed towards? Will we ever see body cameras worn by officers that certify as testimony/evidence?

The aftermath of Rodney King sparked significant change within the LAPD; and hey, NYPD, here's looking at you for next in line. . .However, civil destruction within the existing system is of little use aside from it underscoring the current racial tension which exists; which nobody currently has the interest in discussing -the coli withheld-. It will lead to nothing without significant intent at a defined pursuit of systematic change.and has driven me to post this question:

Is this what we're coming to? Or is the country waiting for another leader who can personify the struggle of economic disparity and racial discrimination? It's frightening to think that those who last captured the voice and the dissent of a nation passed over 40 years ago. Tupac was approaching the crossover before his passing with Makaveli but didn't have the opportunity to fully transition from the streets.

Right? Should of thought about it more in perspective of the combined income and just gone state for that. But definitely signed off a few years of my life.
Well you can't run away from it.
Country may not be perfect but better join the rat race and pay it down as soon as possible.

You maybe working well into your 50's and 60's to pay this off. (assuming you get married late and never have kids)

If you have kids and a wife then plan to retire at 80

That's understandable. I took the risk, and i'm not trying to take this thread towards a commentary regarding my failure in personal finance.
Hopefully the degree helps me head out of here but I can't comment on that at this point. I'll have to deal with that once it comes.

I was trying to phrase this question towards the United States in a broader view. The rise and fall of empires is hard to escape. Some people on the forum are discussing repatriating Africa but does anyone have any thoughts regarding where the country as a whole is headed or are we all just resting with the assumption it's fukked and can do nothing. For as much as we proclaim freedom of speech, etc. the country as a whole certainly sees less protests/strikes than that of Europe. Though i can't say that's necessarily a good or bad thing, we definitely tend to avoid that for some reason. Anonymous campsites? National news. Purpose and direction? Much less clear.

Until there are more jobs shyts only going to get worse. Broke people are dangerous, obnoxious and prone to a variety of social disorders.

Systematic change cant occur unless white people change or are forced out of power.

:heh: Your tripping on evil shyt. Calm the fukk down breh. The country has seen much worse, like the Great Depression. When Rockafeller and Carnagie ruled Oil & Steel, in today's dollars they be into the $100 Billion Dollar range.

Just worry about getting a job to pay the debts you owe, and find yourself a internship. The president doesn't have the power to create laws, he can only sign them in. Obama simply cannot snap his fingers everytime to get shyt done.

As far as race, America is gold :youngsabo: Sure we have racial issues, but this is a country where we will have white minorities by 2050; mixed races. Its going to be harder to be racists, because everyone will be multi-racial. As far as America, you are free to talk shyt where other places you don't have that right.

Look at Snowden, he got fukking quiet all of a sudden. Putin ready to ice the snitch. :smugdraper:

There's little to no hope for utopia in America. Its past is just too ugly. It would take at least 400 years of good, peaceful history just to break even.

The only real solution is bi-racial parenting. In 100 years if all Americans look like mulattoes maybe the racism will die down. But of course we'd still have classism to combat.

Yeah, this country is doomed. It's only a matter of time before shyt gets real ugly.
