Then she is either goes to trade school , advances her education at a traditional college, or opens her own business....Those are the choices you get in modern America, or work in retail until you are 65. If you opt to work in retail, be prepared to deal with this kind of abuse/foolery, not piss and moan.
When/Where was she pissing an moaning? When/where did she say she was exhausted and had no future aspirations? And she has been to school.

You have to look beyond what they are showing. Nobody just appears on media these days and doesn't expect something in return for airing out their business to the whole world.

She is looking for a paycheck, and so far she got one. But that's as far as she goes unless she finds a new way to generate more views for news websites. Just because she isn't pissing and moaning/crying in the interview (they can edit all that out) doesn't mean she isn't.

In any case she is a good actor. She looks like she hasn't slept in weeks in the interview and malnutritioned underneath that makeup job. Can you enlighten us what she went to for school exactly?

This is all well and good but I would be skeptical and think of this purely as an advertising opportunity.

LinkedIN doesn't work unless you actually have marketable skills recruiters and hiring managers want, and it pretty much is useless without a BA/BS at the bare minimum. Considering we already know what her experience is I don't think she needs that much help with her Resume. Any old labor employment office should be able to help her with that free of charge. Any kind of career coach you should already know those nikkas only make money off C-suite people. Even if we're only talking a small business that CIO is makin at least 65k in the South or Midwest, and much more in the Northeast so they are probably getting a retainer or commission based on that.

They are not helping hamburger and fries experienced young people break into secretary or admin jobs (which now all seemingly require a degree which is ridiculous).

And you got to stop inferring shyt. So what if she is looking for a come up, who the fukk isn't? What the fukk is the point in anyone telling "their story"? Aren't we all responsible for our shytty circumstances to a degree?

The 8k they gave her would be probably better used by the Arab kid arrested for building a clock. (Provided he's positively encouraged and doesn't become a terrorist like they think he already was)

That nikka could be the next one to make a device that reduces electricity usage in homes by 50% or some shyt. It sounds cruel but we got to stop funding mediocrity in our community. There are smart brothers and sisters that got 4.0's that can't get scholarships out there. We need to be funding Black excellence, not Black fukkery. Some Nigerian kid born here in NYC just got into Harvard he needs some money for books this year.

Asians, Indians don't tolerate that shyt. Once you fukk up run away from home and get pregnant by a thug you are dead to them. I'm not gonna say they live glorious lives neither but they aren't being used as target practice by cops or thrown into jail at alarming rates either.

I don't know why you come to a Black men's site to bash Black women when you're not Black. Why aren't you on storm-front?

It's not a guilt trip, because you people have no conscience.

You envy even what you think is the poorest most lowly Black woman, because the Black woman is the ultimate creation.

Just because this young lady may not realize it, doesn't change facts. That's why you've spent hours and hours and 30+ pages on her! No one would spend this much time on you... Wonder why?
:huhldup:

We contain the DNA possible to make every single type of human on this earth. Take everyone else away and we could start the whole thing over.

None of your insults and put downs can fade me.

You're obsessed with US. You're worshipping US. You're making 30-40 page threads about US! :lolbron:

If we weren't so important to YOU, you wouldn't be in this thread trying to mock your creator. :russ: When have I ever made a thread about you and your kind? Never.

When do I have to obsessively make fun of you? NEVER. :huhldup:

You're worshipping ME, focusing your energy on ME. You're spending your time on ME. :lolbron:

I'm just sitting back and laughing and being me. :mjlol:Your whole world revolves around ME.

You couldn't go a day without thinking of ME.

What is the Black woman doing today you wonder?

I can't imagine your burden that your whole life revolves around me!

You think you're winning, but your focus is on ME.

The Black woman is the center of your universe.

The Black woman is EVERYTHING to you. You couldn't breathe without me! :mjlol:

So no guilt trip... You're having church in here and you're worshipping ME.:huhldup:

Currently reading this book but over the past couple of years I've adopted a survivalist mentality.

IMO if you can ignore the conditioning that you have to keep up with the Jones' you can still develop a strategy to survive and eventually thrive. I don't have children but I don't think it's something that can't be done given the info we have available today.. If this chick is savvy enough to start a gofundme then she can figure out ways to cut her expenses, save, and invest. All it takes is a little sacrifice.
It's a skill to be frugal. I'm frugal as hell, I laminate coupons and never spend things unless they're on sale. It's very easy to live below your means if you put the time and effort into calculating your expenses and how to dramatically decrease them. My brother used to think it was annoying, but now he wants me to put him on game. I learned from my mother, she didn't wanna go on food stamps so instead she used to get all the coupons from the paper, manufacturers coupons, and negotiate store discounts. It just takes a lot of time but it's worth it in the end obviously if you're struggling with a child. If she grinds she can get scholarships for school and do even better, but climbing out of that (cycle) of poverty is very difficult if your mindset isn't adjusted.

So excommunicate them from the community instead of supporting them is your position basically smh. And Asians don't tolerate that shyt, they burn and kill their own family members for dishonoring them so don't act like they're on some moral high ground.

shouldn't have gotten pregnant with a bum-ass loser. get an education and get a better job. no need to make a fukking video like your problems are unique or special.

That's true....but what hardly anyone on here will admit is, it ain't a lot for them to choose from nowadays.
:yeshrug:

I'm 22 so i'm speaking on my generation. The black community is currently repeating a cycle. A lot of men & women were raised by single mothers because their dad wasn't there. So what u have now is a bunch of fatherless men & women.

A dude who didn't have a good dad is more likely to be weak & dependent on females. A woman without a good dad is likely to not be good at picking mates. And...because of racism in america, a lot of black men have to take whatever job they can get so many are coming up short. Are we really going to keep acting like most black men are CEOs? A lot of brehs are working fast food, selling weed on the side, doing side jobs, etc. Out of the ones who do have their shyt together, i hear them talk about how they wanna be bachelors til they in their 30s-40s. :francis:

Then yall wonder why some women covet cacs and other non-black men?

I talked about entrepreneurship on here once & a lot of nikkas were against it. Even though they get on here & complain about how tired they are of working min wage for a cac boss.
:francis:


nikkas these days have dropped the ball. We keep passing the buck, saying everything is females faults. When a sizable amount of em grew up without a dad, or in poverty, and nikkas are repeating the cycle by knocking these broads up and bouncing. I wonder how long we'll keep pointing the finger at everybody else. I really think 20 yrs from now the state of things will be the same if not worse. Because too many are in denial.
