The culture of family members being a financial burden . . .

[get these nets]

I had a dude that claimed he knew me when I was in second grade begging me for money last time I was in Kenya. This nikka was shameless too.

What did you say your name was again? And I know you from where?
Elementary School?

I DON'T KNOW YOU, MAN!

Money, not you again? Go THAT WAY.

This is the reason why I don't have a relationship with my family.

Lot of Ayisyen in this thread.

He was within my cousin so I’m sure we probably went to school together, but we were not even friends back then. Like how did he feel so comfortable asking a total stranger for money?

It’s a bad look that begging for money from family members is not looked at a shameful act.

There probably is a stigma to asking for money in most of the cultures our people are from. If everybody was back home.

That gets thrown out of the window because we live/work/were raised in the West. So of course, we're rich and just don't want to help others.
So the stigma doesn't exist.

I’ll teach you how to fish. After that, whether you starve or not isn’t my problem. Blood or non-blood.
