forum took so long to load I forgot what I was goin to say. I also lost some of what I wanted to quote.
Thats what both shows seemed like to me. I watched a little over 1/2 of both of them.
Dont remember why i quoted this.

That's why I'm not watching this series. "Black people are suffering from this, they can't do that, we need to overcome this, blah blah" SHUT THE **** UP. If you would stop sleeping around and ****ing everything that moves and have some substance to your life beyond material things, then we wouldn't have any problems. Driving around in a truck on rims for 60k vs a car for 20k and investing 40k towards your child's college education? Come on, this shit isn't difficult.
It really isnt. Like I said before, yesterday, That woman with 5 kids and two jobs. The first thing I said was "stop having kids'. Then I saw her picture from when she was younger, shes ugly and you can gather from that she had low self esteem and let any nga run up in it. True story.
True, but where's that fine line that separates respect for succeeding from scorn for being a sellout?
Who cares, live your life. I dont give a shit what anyone says about how im living.
This thread got me to thinking about my high school. My high school has graduated some VERY smart black people relative to the amount of blacks:whites in the school. The blacks who stayed in trouble, actually all were part of the same family or related. Throw out those, and based on a per race basis: I believe we had more smarter blacks than whites. But these smart blacks also were said to "act white" at our high school. I don't know if that is a southern thing to say that or not..... And I really do now know why I am typing this, I am just sort of thinking out loud...
But in the general area I grew up in, the blacks seemed to be just as successful as the whites minus the black families who stayed in trouble. Of course there are white families who stayed in trouble too. But generally speaking...From watching the shows, most of the places they talked about being so bad for blacks and stuff was up north (D.C. was mentioned several times). Isn't it a coincidence that I reside in the heart of the south and blacks around my hometown were really no different than whites? Yet some people still think abundant racism is still alive in the south.
Blah, sorry for the rambling. Just thinking aloud trying to contribute.
DC/Bmore is ****ed up. Bmore is where I was and sometimes I couldnt stand my brothers' wife and family. Their mentality is so ****ed up. Never want to leave the projects, dont want to keep a job. So therefor my brother is stuck in that, kinda. I dont know its all fucekd up.
Obviously we could all respect someone if they were saying that they cam from the proiects and, despite the obstacles, they made something of themselves. But I know that is not what you are referring to. It is that "badge of honor" that comes from saying my neighborhood was rougher than yours - and as a result I am a harder person. Don't fvck with me.
It truly is a shame that people look up to others because they have experienced prison. It is also sad that those people would in effect "sell" that to the kids who are observing. The fact is that if you could see a video of that badass as they spebt their first night in prison you would most likely see a scared, depressed shell of a person who would give anything to be in mom's kitchen.
Badge of honor my ***, unless liek you said, they succeeded. But the selling is done by rappers these days too....
Im sorry but I would hate to go to jail, so anyone that says yeah i been im the shit.
NO, you had your shit pushed in.
