Nah, It will just turn into a bunch of how we are judgmental and we do not know her story, try having one kid, and blah blah blah :dame:
It's a moot point to go at her about having kids she can't afford (luckily she only has 1 and not 5:whew:) but she's just dikkin around waiting on a handout from Uncle Sam.

Its plenty of women with one kid thats making it happen. My sis in law has 3 kids, on welfare and public housing, but she's graduating this fall with a bachelor's in finance and thats all because she went to school while collecting assistance instead of prostesting a social services increase.

If you watched the video you would know she gets subsidized child care for $10 a month. And if that wasn't the case she could take online classes. Next excuse?
I watched the video, is this subsidized childcare all day :usure:

If you balling on your grind i guess white supremacy didn't hold you back....:skip:

Let me guess you balling in America not Africa or the Caribbean with a black majority population and infrastructure....:sas2:

Actually in America, graduated Penn State with a tech analysis degree

I am fortunate in many aspects

However I have enough sense to know not many people have it how I have it.

Truth and logic
Because $15 an hour isn't enough money to support her either

You can't realistically pay this woman enough money to live a nice life without her changing her mentality

If she will spend $440 on a phone when she makes $7.50 an hour, what will she buy with $15?


In considering how much people should be paid for a job, your opinions on how they may or may not spend any discretionary income should not really be a factor.

They didn't divulge into that much info. Either way from reading her Twitter it seems her mother and father are still in her life plus she lives with her sister. That's 3+ different people who could watch her child while she takes 2 or 3 classes. And like I said there are universities that offer online classes for people who are unable to attend physical classes.

That because they always make black or hispanic women the face of welfare and poverty. There is a whole middle of the country filled with white women on govt assistance but you never see them.

That's because white people hide their millions of poverty stricken trailer park trash in shame out of the public eye.

Which is why white supremacy is such a laughable concept that uneducated people with a victim mindset believe in.

Can't take anyone who believes in white supremacy serious in 2015 that chooses to live as a minority in a white majority country.

Like if you believe in white supremacy go live in a black majority country for a better life then.

I'm only inferring this from the video. I didn't go look for her bio and Twitter :dame:. What the fukk.

Even with that you don't know her life. You don't know if her parents were poor, if her dad molested her, etc. Or maybe you do. :dame:

The point is that she was young and made a mistake, and is still young. You can't change the past. But her future is looking bleak unless she smartens up and/or gets a mentor.

Laughing at her and shaming her is some uppity shyt and isn't conducive to the struggle...but damn it makes you feel better about your life, doesn't it?

Not at all

I want her to do better and I want McDonalds to pay her more money

I'm just smart enough to know that doubling her pay won't solve her problems

I can literally find a way to pass blame to the white man for just about every problem in America, but got damn, it's nothing wrong with a little accountability every once in a while.

Youre from the burbs and I'm from the hood. You know what you see on cnn specials, I grew up around this.

You wouldn't have an assumption about what she does with her money without first searching for ways to demonize her:comeon:


And beyond that a smartphone is essential to one "bettering" themselves. But for some reason this girl shouldn't have one:francis:

An online education is going to get her out of poverty :usure: where is she getting this computer and Internet from nikka?

I can understand 1 child because everyone can make a mistake, but when people keep having kids I'm like :wtf:. Did you not learn from having 1 how hard it is? :wtf: Secondly I agree, this young woman is sitting around thinking someone should help her simply because she is in an unfortunate situation that she put herself in. When she said the dad is incarcerated she said it as if it's his fault she got pregnant and bounced into prison.:wtf: Uh, no mam it is your fault for opening your legs at 20/21 to a man like that. :shaq2: I know a young lady who is 24 with a child by a worthless man. At one point she had to admit that she was stupid for allowing herself to get pregnant by a man like him. She had to send her child to be with relatives in Alabama while she lives in her car and get's her nursing degree. I couldn't stand this chick in the video because of her entitled, "It's not fair that I have to live this way" mentality. :mindblown:

And that's just pointing out the ridiculous hypocrisy in your posts.

But on the real, "don't have kids" sounds like virgin talk. Anyone who has had sex or kids knows that's not something easily controlled. You act like most people choose to have kids. Maybe one day you'll learn how sex works.

If you have unprotected sex with a chick who isn't on birth control then you chose to have kids

Controlling when you have kids is actually one of the easiest things to do.

I have a harder time getting to work on time than I do avoiding having kids

Again, can we be responsible for anything?
