Was Furious (Boyz N the Hood) telling Black people not to join the military the dumbest advice ever given?

Go to the military, get out and get a factory job making $20 hour. They were living life on easy mode for a minute there.
I wouldnt call being enlisted in the military during a horrible war and then doing hard labor after the war to put food on the table for you easy mode… what do you do?

Y'all gotta remember Black people were more Afrocentric, conscious, and Pro-Black back in the 70s, 80s, and parts of the early 90s so for a while a lot of Black people were anti-government (not in the same manner or reasoning as cacs of today) and against military industrialization.

His opinion represents the mindset of the time; it was about making a stance against injustice and corruption at the hands of the United States military and not being used as a pawn to push American geopolitics on other nations and their citizens.

This was back during the Nixon, Regan, and Bush Sr era when you had these wars such as the Vietnam war, Cold War, and a few others in between all that, when corruption, conspiracies, etc about the US military and agendas being pushed by certain people in Washington was at it's highest. Higher than the corruption and conspiracies that came during 9/11.

Nowadays, Black folks pimping themselves out to the military in return for benefits and disregarding being a pawn to push agendas, as long as they get a paid house, monetary benefits, and college grants, etc.

Nah, I’m good…

Furious was 100% right. /thread

Furious in general is what the coli breh should embodied, than the Samuels type..

  1. Knows the wife and him split but will raise the son to be a man
  2. Still respect queens and etc
  3. Actually enlighten about the horrors of gentrification especially with black neighborhoods
  4. Spoke real about the war (yes it has benefits but the grim reality is that black folks get treated like crash dummies and afterthoughts serving the country)
We need that enlightenment to rebuild a broken structure of the black foundation. The moment heads wake up and do for self, trump can throw shyt in the fire, but we still got the upper hand to these cacs.

I have PTSD, but I also was able to lift my family out of poverty and use my benefits to pay for their college. I am currently looking into a benefit for land. I'm in a daily prayer group with different brehs that served.

I fought in wars that negatively affected me, but also opened my eyes to the savagery and love exhibited by humanity. I built a comaraderie with people from different cultures and beliefs. I felt the sting of coming home and being profiled after fighting for the profilers freedom. I saw my wife hold down a household in my absence.

If you don't know how to do what you want to do, it can help you with those skills in addition to life skills.

It ain't for everybody, but it can be if you're desperate enough.
