“On no Pro black shyt?” Im not “on” bc I’m already black. Pro black is not a movement; it’s a state of mind. Just bc I have opinions of people that I encountered in my personal life, that are not aligned with your thoughts, doesn’t change my position on my black as a collective thought process. I’m for black empowerment and anti white establishment. Fuk all that “woke” internet lingo that you mimic. Been like this since I was younger- I’m not changing off some internet poster with misplaced emotions and priorities, you don’t control my actions or what I speak for and against.

Never mind.

Yea ima say country.

Too bad my girl can’t stand the country I may have to dump her ass

My girl is straight out of the city of Atlanta, and wants no parts of the country :mjcry:.

I told her in 10 years I’m moving back to Carolina, and building my country pad. She can roll with me or not; either way, I’m leaving the city. I can always get another girl when I move to the country :ufdup:

Raising kids in the city is financial suicide on top of lower quality living. Public schools are shyt, more distractions, poor quality air, too many cars on the road that could hit your kid, no space for them to play.....the burbs are made to raise families. Anyone selfish that cannot admit that, should not be having kids in the first place....

Too many people dont think about the well being of their kids. That's is why a lot of these kids in Generation Z are all fukked up in the head.
THere are a lot of kids that I grew up with and younger than me that I knew who’s families (considered middle to upple class, successful) were in the suburbs that have fukked up lives. Being in the suburbs or living way out doesn’t guarantee nothing . Either they grew up too sheltered; didn’t take advantages of the opportunities they had, or tried to emulate what they assumed was the “city” lifestyle trying to be something they’re not. I know children of lawyers and executives who were teenage parents or on drugs, or at rehab centers. I have cousins that have been lifetime section 8 recipients who live out in nice houses in the suburbs in decent neighborhoods whose kids could barely finish junior high school bc of behavioral issues. Any values, discipline and structure starts at home; if support is lacking, education is not stressed, low morals it doesn’t matter where a person lives. Don’t act like city kids aren’t attending college- judging by your standards then I wasn’t supposed to be shyt bc I was in the city, my parents weren’t on me like that with education and they weren’t that emotionally supportive, but the finances were straight and we lived in the city.

The private school I went to, one of my classmates was murdered, the other one has 5 kids by the time she was 29, another - teenage pregnancy, and other stories similar when this was supposed to be a “reserved” school environment. There were only 20 students in the class- so what's the stats on that?

No- shytty parenting comes into it when they don’t place limitations at home and have no boundaries regardless of the environment. So all kids who grow up on the city have selfish parents or fukked up in the head? Drugs are just as accessible in burbs, car accidents happen anywhere. Dudes from the burbs serving 10 yr sentences. Financial suicide.. whuuttt? I personally know people on the burbs and country living in new construction homes, high incomes but struggle everyday with bills bc they are trying to keep up appearances or live out their “financial success” fronting - that’s selfish to kids too bc they’re parents are stressing and too distracted to manage their kids. None of what you said holds weight.

You became a success because you worked hard for it. Queens is the closest thing to a hybrid of suburban and city living, but a lot of people who live in places like the South BX and many places in the city dont have that. You can have your own opinion, but most people that lived through stuff like that, dont want their kids to go through that. :hubie: . No one was talking about formal education level, just the things outside of the school system. At least see it halfway like how I do it.

Most city designers themselves will admit that cities werent made to raise kids in it. Its there for making money and for entertainment.

Riding dirtbikes and quads in the backstreets and finding offroad trails everywhere

Fishing

Quiet

:wow: :wow: :wow:
you can fish in Brooklyn. There are quiet suburban areas right here in that people never hear about. we have beaches, massive forest like parks,Cruise Terminal, botanical garden, an amusement park, world class museums, free concerts from big name artists in prospect park, businesses and cuisine from the entire African diaspora the list goes on. Give me access to everything i cant to the "simple life "

Damn, @Nicole0416 boo can you go a single thread without arguing with somebody???

:snoop:



(Don't come at me now and son me...:whoa:)
Like they didn't start it?.. I made a statement in response. That's it. They want to take it all personal and get all in their feelings; start taking shotz. That's not on me.

Leave Chicago out of this...they’re good too.
Not sure why you're being defensive.
Not shytting on Chicago but just saying when you're young and want the city life like clubbing and culture, you probably want to live in Atlanta, NYC, Chicago, LA, etc.

As you get older though, that shyt is less appealing and some isolation from the hustle and bustle is preferred which is why, like I said, no one is retiring to live in these places. They want to go somewhere they can enjoy the beauty of mother Earth and get peace and quiet .
