What I been telling y’all for years on here? Wanna get some money gotta take a risk. And no, that don’t mean you have to do some illegal shyt.

Also, life is hard. It just is what it is. I feel breh pain. But this shyt tough for everyone. Money ain’t the only issues out here. You can’t have joy without pain nikka. He’ll figure it out. Or maybe he won’t. Wish him and everyone else the best.

A lot of people do not have parents, and/or are living with multiple roommates, trying to save money. And as collective, this isn't something resulting from bad decision making, this is a systemic issue.
Most cultures around the world live with family for a long time before leaving. The fact is, most people do have parents or other family, but they thought it was a bad look and/or wanted their girlfriends to cook breakfast in the nude. Of course the system sucks, especially for Black people. With that said, don't have kids too soon, don't get a record, don't move out too soon (these are the bad decisions I was talking about), save money, take time to figure out the future and what you want to do, and it will work out better. This is how you avoid the dead end jobs.

I'm not trying to generalize people when I say they made bad decisions. However, some young Black people go to these laborious, low paying jobs and get stuck because they didn't ask questions. Do these other workers have criminal records? Are they immigrants escaping a war torn country? Do they even speak English? Do they have a bunch of kids? People that take these horrible jobs are desperate for one reason or another. No one warns young Black people about these crappy jobs. Of course the system sucks, especially for Black people, which is why we need to be on our game so we don't get stuck at dead end jobs.

I used to work with this Dominican chick. She’s a cashier. Bilingual as well. She started on 2014 making $11.00 an hour. She’s still there. Same position. Making $14.90 an hour. 3 kids.


I used to push her to try to be a supervisor or assistant manager. She didn’t want the responsibility. A lot of people get comfortable working dead in positions because it requires little to no effort. She’s been a cashier for 8 years. So she’s basically on autopilot. She got laid off during the pandemic which could’ve been a chance for her to find something else, but she came back 5 months later. And because she’s been a cashier for so long, her resume is fukked.

in your opinion why not
Peoples ideas or criticisms shouldn’t be dismissed because they live in America, it’s disingenuous to say people shouldn’t have criticisms cause they don’t live like people in third world countries

His argument is Americans have opportunities
While other people have none
Opportunities are available to him he can find another job and increase his skills and education
That’s not a reality for many people in other countries
So I can understand how people look at him like get another job and stop complaining
There are other people who would appreciate his job
It’s no different than a rich white kid complaining about only getting a Benz instead of a Bentley
People from worst situations would literally die for the opportunities he has

Man, all your posts have hit the nail on the head. I’m glad I grew up around different cultures because you truly see the difference in how they operate. Not saying they’re perfect or better but they get some things right.

In most single parent black households, especially if you’re male, once you turn 18, “you become that nikka in the house.” You turn from Cinderella into a midnight Bumpkin.

All of the sudden, you look too much like your dad, you need to find a new place to stay, stop drinking all the juice you ungrateful nikka. It’s no wonder so many can’t wait to leave that toxic environment. All because those checks stop coming in at 18.

In Indian cultures, they make sure the son stays with the family until they have enough money to put a deposit down on a mortgage, ideally with his arranged wife. Jews do it too, Greeks, etc. They make sure their children do not leave their homes unprepared. They’ll even keep their grandparents living with them.

And God bless my parents, even though they had no choice but to work menial jobs despite their qualifications, they made sure to give me and my siblings the best start.

In hindsight, I wish I stayed at home after college because they were more than willing to accommodate me, but I didn’t want to leave the feeling of independence that college gave me. If I had stayed at home instead of renting a shytty apartment at 21, I would’ve got to my goals quicker but hey… that’s life. Now I know what not to do with my kids.
