Public Housing

[Wild self]

idk about callin u a c00n n all that shyt.... but

ur right, we can progress.. like I said, some of our most productive people come from some our worst hoods. I know nikkas that own their own homes n businesses now - that lived for weeks off Bfast cereal bars growing up.

But the same institutions that brought us here from Africa, that founded this nation, that tested diseases on us, put us in wars w other brown people, gave us Crack to fund their conflicts, broke up our groups and killed our leaders... that burned down our Group Economics like Tulsa OK - are all Still in place... so we still need to be aware of that shyt... it's not always making excuses.

and i can show u recent videos.

Regardless if white CACs knock you down, get back up and start again! And again! And AGAIN!!!

Yeah, we have black successes from the worst hoods from back in the day, but there were a ton more failures that harmed their own people that never get mentioned.At this point, to stop the cycle of poverty and mental dysfunction, we gotta take drastic action for ourselves. If the cac try to knock us down...

Get back up and Start again! and again!!! and again!!!!

Why are niccas on public housing for 35 years though

that really bothered me watching some of the documentary. that's NOT supposed to happen and the projects are no fukking different than being in jail or prison either. talk about institutionalized. fukk that shyt.

It's not the average cac that knocks people down.

The institutions that run the nation are set on auto. During recessions our wealth gaps increase for a reason.. the top 1% earn most of the wealth for a reason..

The people on the bottom will always suffer the most , due to the fact that you can't really have a capitalistic system with our tax set up and corporate controlled politics - without exploitation.

And because history, jim crow, slavery, bans from education, and social stigmas shytted on us all the way up to the 80's, the masses us off will be on the bottom.. and the bottom, regardless of race will be ur most ignorant... and because most of us come from the hood - that social stigma impacts all of our classes --- which in turn creates an even further divide in our communities.. Which is crazy as fukk because we already have maddd divides in our communities. And with no unity, there is no Group Economics,,, which means...

only a few of us will slip through the crackkks. No group on earth has a high % of self motivated people. People on average r influenced by habitat.


What do u suggest for drastic action?? We missed the main action... aka kill the first CAC that landed in Africa instead of trading w the devil.

Now we just have choices.... make it out and judge our own people and turn into self proclaimed PAWG lovers

Or over-stand the situation and realize that our progress will keep being steady as long as we focus on nurturing the promising people amongst us without furthering the divide.

Or main failures haven't been the ignorant hood shyt we talk about.. every ethnicity has it's ignorant. Our failure----- it's been ignoring the people CAC tell us are radical and listening the the civil rights versions of us who asked us to beg to set at tables that aren't meant for us. This isn't our nation.. we aren't citizens...
shyt the prison system and new jim crow should tell us that much.


u talk about rebuild rebuild... think about this... we rebuilt black wall street after burnings rapes killings, over and over again... what finally destroyed it was integration and manipulation. Believing that we are african american's instread of african's stuck in america ended that shyt.

Exactly. Any form of Public Assistance is temporary to help you get a start. After my parents got divorced, moms was on section 8 and welfare for 2 years. That was it. How can you complain about living conditions you have had a lifetime to change? No opportunity? In 40 years a nicca should have SOMETHING. I got family like that smh. That's a long LOOOOOONG time.

yo.. that's the shyt that gets me. you have some people all comfortable, with the ability to get the fukk out of there and they don't want to be. they want to stay in that shyt. they talking about like it's "their" home when it belongs to the federal government. as soon as HOPE VI and HUD decides to tear that shyt down, they HAVE to leave. what annoys me is how folks try to protest when the federal government decides to tear it's housing down and the same folks that spent all their fukking lives there, all comfortable not willing to move out, generations in talking all protesting. WTF, man. i also hate it when you have some folks all comfortable about living in section 8 as if that shyt is supposed to be nice and acting like... "i'm gonna stay here and not move out". what????? i actually had one person awhile back talk to me about how i should apply to section 8, apply for assistance and get extra comfortable like i can live off the government. NO.... that's NOT cool. i would apply if i needed it or had to go to that route but the way she made it sound with the helpless attitude like i'm willing to settle or let someone else take care of me for the rest of my life or not be willing to be independent or whatever. that scared the shyt out of me.

man, i understand those people that are down on their luck and are unfortunately, stuck in that position where they need it BUT it's never an okay idea to be comfortable with a damn hand out IF YOU CAN GET YOUR OWN shyt OR TO STRIVE FOR YOUR OWN shyt WHERE YOU CAN GET YOUR OWN PLACE. IT SHOULD BE A GOAL OR A fukkING DREAM TO OWN YOUR OWN HOME. NOT DWELL IN A fukkING HOUSING PROJECT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE AND BASICALLY DIGGING A HOLE FOR YOURSELF THAT YOU CAN'T GET OUT OF.

intergenerational poverty is not that simple..

it would be easy for someone to say that... but that's like the people who talk shyt that come out of the slums in India, or villages in congo, or some random hood in Haiti.

Sure there will always be a few that make it out.. ... but overall there is a mentality that comes with generations of that shyt.

We don't even need to focus on all that anyway... we aren't even catching all the kids who don't have that mentality and mentoring them. I see more people focused on people who might end up on Worldstar then focusing on the positive shyt... that's y half our middle class kids end up not doing shyt.

Stay being depressed and defeated, brehs

Have nothing top pass down to your kids because what the white man tries to do, brehs

I mean, have your opinion about your "solution," but I would rather stick with mine and build wealth to help my offspring when they come. And Yes, I seen black people with the same mentality as mine and they done so without selling out their own kind.

Spoiler

Besides, I only would fukk every race of broads with bad bodies. I would never wife anything outside a nerdy black woman because that is my particular taste to procreate with pretty dark skinned black women.

 

[mortuus est]

@Disciple of the Projects man stop being a dikkhead and talk to people with respect, how else are you going to have a clean discussion without you being rude, calm down

lol, everything I said is true and valid.

Don't be offended that I said 'pawg lovers' ... be proud man.. I'm not judging.. shyt, to make u feel better, I'll let u know.. i got a white hoe preg before.. (abortion, we all make mistakes... but white chicks are useless... they are only for practice. )

And how do u get out of what i stated that people should allow the white man to hold them back when i said the exact opposite of that shyt... I just said be aware.. and fyi, nikka i'm 29 w 3 sons who are set for life.... so I think i know what the hell i'm talking about.

I'm aware of what CACs are capable of doing. That is why I stay as humble and low-key as possible.

i understand. unfortunately, it's a cycle because you have many kids basically being born and raised to think that shyt is okay because their parents grew up the same way and don't know any better. sad enough, you have institutions such as the school system promoting it too where they're like "you're not going to amount to shyt or go off to college so this is what you get..." and what you have is a state of hopeless.

but that's no excuse though to be honest because if that's accepted as the norm, folks will basically give up and do the same shyt. yes, it's tough out here, the system is fukked up and etc BUT in order to be independent, you have to be learn or be willing to learn how to be out on your own and to be independent. for some people, they think that it's OKAY to basically be in the position that they're in because they don't think they deserve any better. they feel that because they got dealt certain cards that they're doomed to a certain fate, that isn't true. yes, it might be tougher and you might have to go the extra length, sacrifice things and the whole nine but if you have the ability to do it, DO IT. even if you have to do it illegally because sometimes, you gotta break the rules in order to reach a certain goal, DO IT. just make sure that you're able to get to that goal where you can survive in the world legal and can fend for yourself where you don't have to take handouts from anybody. it may take time, it may take years but as long as you're working on it, you're very likely to get somewhere. you might be discouraged or give up hope and unfortunately, many folks have gone that route where they give up and settle for that shyt. that's why some of those women in that documentary ended up staying at that place for 30 something years. that's what it is. the system is fukked up BUT it's still no excuse IF you have the ability and are able bodied enough to reach for a better life. even if it means getting your own apartment to rent where you have to pay a landlord. it may be a shytty apartment in a bad area right nearby the projects but you're pretty much on your feet and continue to keep on working on it where eventually, if everything goes well, you move the fukk out of the hood and into the burbs. you have a job that pays enough where you can basically get a nice car or whatever. it's about striving and working your way to a better life. it also requires being smart. if you have to save your money up to pay for a real estate class, a security guard license, or whatever the fukk so you can get a better job or make more money to save up, get that resume going, get that education, or whatever, DO what you have to do.

the thing about america is that you can actually work your way to a better place IF you're willing to put in the work, strive and sacrifice for it. it's not entirely the system's fault though it has a lot to do with this shyt but it's also the mentality that's associated with socioeconomic classes that explain shyt as well.

Poverty is definitely a state of mind. I can see that. But living in those conditions should make you want to go further in life, it did for me at least

 

[Sunalmighty]

That one chick was talking about how unbearable the conditions were with the rats and roaches. I mean, that alone. I bought my first house a few years back. My mom raised me. You can't get past the living room with shoes on.

That late night snack store reminds me of jail commissary

That's the first thing I thought of.

Came from abject poverty. My upbringing instilled an inimitable work ethic in me. I dont ask people for shyt , not even my own Mother. I lived in the projects and had neighbors that would just hop out the car and dump white castles boxes and shyt right there in the parking lot.People just piss on the stairs and elevators like its all good. I think the conditions just dehumanize

The Pruitt Igoe in STL was one of the largest housing projects-- designed by Minoru Yamasaki(the same guy who designed the WTC)
