But that's faux confidence. Should measure your success by the amount of haters or the unflattering reactions you get. That's another discussion but your whole post speaks of the parent/child relationship between whites and blacks.

Nah this is kinda like ignorant hood logic... You measure your own success by how it positively impacts you and the ones you love... not how mad it makes other people :mindblown:

We know. It's really disturbing because we all know the real truth. I find what the op is talking about prevalent in New York dudes. You cats lie just to lie. Embellish just for the sake of it, all while renting shat boxes. Gucci underwear and no mortgage. Ranges but living in cages. I don't get it all.

White supremacy has made it where you have to be the magical negro to get to the top. And if not :ufdup: Those shackles are finally coming off, yet the only people perpetuating this is us. :yeshrug: If you not 6"2 190 in a BMW, making 6 figures, you ain't shh. Funny thing is only a handful of people will ever live up to that ideal. Making 50k and living in the suburbs is seen as failure. Being married and faithful to one women is seen as lame. Check out the thread about the billionaire heiress to in and out burger. I think a lot of us are Marxist without even noticing it largely because we were once capital and capitalistic dreams continue to evade us collectively.

:ehh: at work right now so my thoughts are all over the place.

This was a great post untill this :why: The word "Marxist" is more misused than the word "racist" :snoop:

I agree with everything else you said though. I think that even though we disagree on things on a superficial level we agree on a baselevel, just have different ideas as to how to achieve that.

I think being married and being faithful to one woman is a net positive... making decent money living in the burbs raising a family worshiping the one true god and being a generally righteous and good person are all GOOD things... the difference is that I believe that they are good things in and of themselves without any qualifier... where as sometimes I think you try and present those things as good things in lieu of an extreme... like if you don't get married you'll be a ____ or if you don't do this you'll be a ____... and it takes away from the actual goodness of the things you're trying to push by making them into "necessities" instead of the right choice after all.

We live in the past and we're comfortable with being mediocre.


And dont get your panties in a bunch :rudy:ing me. I dish it out evenly among my own people too as I am my peoples biggest critic half the time. Look me up on both konpamag and Opa forums. I always make sure to remind haitians of their shortcomings no matter what conspiracies the white world has mounted up against us.

:salute:

If somebody is telling you "you ain't shyt and not gonna ever be shyt", its probably because you ain't shyt, and not doing anything to elevate yourself beyond that.

Ain't shyt black men carry this "fukk that shyt" attitude that stagnates them on all levels; emotionally, professionally, intellectually.

Give your all in everything you do, because that's how a man is supposed to act. Whatever your occupation, education, family situation, actually giving a shyt, and giving whatever endeavor you're embarked on your best effort will carry you and yours a long way. If you fail, pick yourself back up and try again.

Simple really.:ld:

Nope.
A lot of dudes are out here aimless. Aimless and self-defeating, bogged down by their families' aspirations and expectations and demands.

That's what I see a lot of.

I agree but this is NOT what this thread is about. At least i dont think.

I hear you on the "fukk that sh!t" dudes tho. Too many of these "i dont give a fukk" types walking around and as they fail to elevate themselves they also try to drag many positive heads down with them in the process. Not to mention outsiders (non-blacks) see them and associate you with them in a way because you share not only skin color but other social and cultural aspects.

:snoop:

You really think there aren't Black families (namely mothers) who look to live off their children and try to force and/or manipulate said children into careers/jobs that will enable them to do so?

I always gotta :laugh: when dudes go on about "Dead beat rappers".
Like there aren't a bunch of middle class/lower class
WHITE MEN
who didn't amount to anything trying to be Rock stars and Sport stars.


Go to your local guitar center and it's rife with these sorts of individuals.
With that said a lot of young black men have the same absurd dreams as 90% of
the population and they usually wind up in jobs that aren't even remotely close to
what they dreamed of....like 90% of the population.

I do agree however that most people should choose realistic goals.
/thread

There's tons of them...

Cause that is what we have. All we have, in fact. nikkas need to strive to do better, cause the entertainment industry has too many nikkas in it and few owners/ innovators as it is.

You're married to a white man What dealings do you have with black men?

Anothergirl doesn't KNOW black men, that's why she here. Part of her resents not knowing them. So she comes here to get to know the side she shuns but deep down 'loves & wants' him.

This is why she outwardly jumps at the chance to take a dump on Black men, it reinforces her choice to not marry black. But when she's walking on the street & she sees that one or two black happy couples...really makin it work.






It kills her inside :wow:





On topic this thread reeks of...":damn: homie, In High School you was the Man homie"
