And you were one of the lucky ones who "made it out." Thats the problem with this meritocratic ideology is that it tells us that if you work hard you too can achieve the "American Dream." What it implies is that if you don't "make it" that its your fault. Studies on poverty, and upward mobility in the black community don't support your anecdotal evidence on the issue. You think everyone who is rich got rich because they worked hard? You think everyone who is poor became poor by not working hard enough?
I wasn't lucky. I made good choices like, not committing crime, not getting girls pregnant, not following the crowd. I did work hard, busted my ass. I had to do without all the name brand clothes, the stylish whip, the on point fades. Its called sacrificin for the future because you see the big picture. The only lucky thing about me, is that I was smart enough to see beyond all the bullshyt everyone else was about. Most people, are just stupid. And I'm not sure if they are stupid, but they don't really think. See, I wasn't all chatty patty everywhere I went. I observed, and learned. Paid attention and did alot of critical thinking. I got plenty of "why are you so quiet? How come you don't talk alot"? I wasn't quiet, I just didn't have anything to say in meaningless conversations. I do talk alot, to people I know. I'm just private about my shyt. Everyone else, wants everyone to know everything about them.

I'm quite sure she knew what kind of guy he was before she let him have sex with her. Then why have a child with him if you knew his lifestyle would most likely make him an absentee father?
Probably because she's in the same socioeconomic status as him. Its not as if she's surrounded by stand up gentlemen with a plan/future, I assume. Your argument is pointless if you're not going to assign responsibility to both the woman AND the man!!! They're both at fault for bringing this child into such a shytty situation. But, then again, they're both products of said shytty situation.

We need to be thinking big picture. We gotta elitist oligarch trying to take the White House and make shyt like this the status quo. On the other side of the row we got another elitist posing as an advocate for everyday people who also wants to increase government dependency.

There are always gonna be people who slip through the cracks but under this current system politicians are trying to make the cracks bigger and easier for everyday people to slip in.

You should post in the Higher Learning section of this forum.

A Mole largely lives most of it's life underground. This is like asking why a mole keeps eating the turnips in your garden and fukking your shyt up.

It has developed this way of life over hundreds of thousands of years or more. Apparently for humans, social conditioning only takes 1 or 2 generations. If you are born into slavery, it's all you know.

She was born into poverty. And the dysfunctional illogical behaviors that come with that condition is literally all she knows. She needs to be re-programmed.

My point was that you're the exception. Not the rule.

None of what you said, takes away from the fact that its a choice, unless the girl was raped. We learn this shyt in middle school. Not abused, Had braces, called handsome with the pretty eyes. :whew:

You seem to have a problem identifying what that choice was. Her choice was having sex (protected or unprotected is unknown). She didn't choose to get pregnant.

Were you choosing to impregnate someone when you allegedly went raw? :dahell:

This is all bullshyt. You made the same damn choice as her. She got pregnant, your alleged chick didn't. Do you even realize how retarded you sound right now? :russ:

This. I can't tell you how many people talk to me about Trump, like he's this great "American Dream" success story, and his business acumen will translate well as POTUS. People ignore/are ignorant of him being born into wealth, inheriting what his antecedents built. He's made good decisions and bad decisions too, but his bad decisions bankrupt businesses, not him personally, and he can come out relatively unscathed. One bad decision from someone just barely making it anyway can will have dire consequences for that individual's well-being. Rich people, on the other hand, can have the luxury of making mistakes.

But on the real, "don't have kids" sounds like virgin talk.
Nah it sounds like "I want to have a life and not struggle because I had kids too early" talk.

You can have an active sex life without having kids. You nikkas say stupid shyt like "but raw p*ssy is so good :sadcam:"

fukk that :camby:

I'll take less sensation and feeling if that leads to no kids :ahh:

I don't even know when's the last time I had unprotected sex. And that's good with me because when I go to sleep at night; and don't see any calls from an annoying BM, that protected p*ssy feels better than ever each time :banderas:

You don't want kids? Don't have kids. Very few people are in the "the condom broke" crew. Truth is a lot of men and women are irresponsible. And y'all take the risk of unprotected sex and potential pregnancy, in favor of 35 minutes of raw sex. Sounds like a shytty gamble.

I don't trust a bytch who says she's on "birth control", and I'll cut a bytch off if she hits me with the "I'm allergic to latex" shyt too.

NO KIDS. Until I'm absolutely ready: no exceptions.

She didn't choose to get pregnant but she chose to keep it. 100% responsible
