My dad was always in my life but truth be told he never really "taught" me much. He came a pretty bad background ( 5 brothers, 1 mother, 2 diff fathers. Lived in the projects) then decided to join the army and now he does well for himself financially. He was more of a provider. Never was really affectionate.

Never said two words about women, finances, school, all that. The most he says now about what i have going on is "Well, handle ya business son." :ld:Im just always said ok. Almost had a kid at 15 when i lost my virginity. Dodged that bullet on my own:whew:along with a whole bunch of other BS im sure everyone goes through in life..basically learned from trial and error:yeshrug:

Who taught yall nikkas man or who did yall look up to? Im happy with how i turned out bc i see how some of my friends act now, but still.

My Dad, he's from Somalia... but is one of probably the only atheist I know whos came over...

he made understand how it was to be a man and specifically a black man.... and he made one thing abundantly clear to me... if all other things are equal..... always cheer for the team with the black quarterback.

Most positive attributes I got from my Pops, how to hold down the household, be hardworking, reliable, keep everyone grounded, how to treat your wife etc. etc.
And i learned the game from street nikkas I came up under.

my dad didn't give me affection...... or shyt eles..... but he told me a few things.. like never trust anything a white person says without researching it. He said that if my little brother was ever fighting and I wasn't there fighting then i was wrong, and vice vs. Said if a woman can't make any money or doesn't have goals, she's not even worth giving your real name too.

there aren't many women who know my real name :ehh:



but for affection..... fukking with older women... skipping grades and only dating older when i was young taught me much about women and love.


for everything else......... rich nikkas moving weight. taught me not to judge people. taught me that with money you can do anything you want how u want in america no matter how demonic. .......
one of them gave me the auto bio of malcom x ( and i read it too -because he was later killed and reading it made me feel better because i got it from him. ) That book led to many things that lead to me
being pro black


is how i developed.
