Black parents are dream killers, take their advice with caution, dont let them indoctrinate you

[Concerning VIolence]

I mean is "go to college and beg for a job after you leave" not what most of our parents basically trickle down their advice to?

I'm talking ones with working class and poor parents.

I agree with @PhillyBirds215

alot of yall dont want to absorb reality, yall live in yall own comfortable routine of work and home, which is fine, hell i dont blame yall for that lol...i actually interact with the public....and see a totally different picture from what these positive statistics suggest....but maybe its just what im exposed too....maybe in a major city things are different ...i dont know

I black people hurting out here .....black men walking around aimlessly, eyes blank, begging for change downtown.....I dont know ...I dont see what the coli sees and I have a right to express that...if ppl dont like it, just ignore...its cool, i dont take it personal...i understand, alot of ppl arent into this type of talk, i get it, its sad...but this is the shyt I think about and this is a public forum for free thought

 

[b_low_brown]

i told yall nikkas to stop writing this shyt man, im not killer, just expressing thoughts....yall nikkas always trying to get brothers jammed up.....and in trouble......a bunch of agents on here...this place is dangerous

If agents are on here lurking I'm getting caught up way before you buddy

 

[Crucial]

There are many reasons why there aren't all these blk businesses out there for you non-history reading nikkas

to just glide into straight from mom's basement.

Anybody heard of Jim crow laws?

Where all these loans for the blk businesses coming from?

Anybody heard of blk wallstreet? That sh-t was burned down and many people were killed.

How many blk folk were eager to build blk businesses after that message?

At one point, we weren't allowed to congregate, or even read.

I know, b-b-but that was a long time ago Crucial!


It's like we all in a marathon but wht folks left an hour ago - why we an't caught up yet??!

I'm just saying

Unless you come from a very successful or progressive household, you will never really be totally satiisfied with what your parents have to say about matters regarding life. Take the best of what they have to say, and leave the bullshyt behind, link up with your more successful family members and take their advice.

coli is full of lost nikkas that talk very loud. dangerous

Older black ppl did very little BUILDING for black ppl. Since i obviously disagree with their mentality, i'm doing the opposite of that.

I have my own business and all of my employees are black. If you aren't building something for black ppl, you're the one who has no room to talk nikka. Yall get mad at nikkas like us, who don't sugarcoat shyt and tell it like it is. Black ppl need an economic base, not more empty words that simply SOUND good.

In addition to employing black ppl in a BLACK business, i'm also a member of a black investment club. And I use only black banks.

There's more that i do, but those are the MAIN things. And I'm not on The Coli a lot, i only have about 900 posts total since i joined. Yall love to claim that we just sit on the Coli and don't do anything, i don't even be on here that much and anything that i say on here is what i practice and believe in offline in real life

They strongly believe in individualism, they don't want to think or operate as a collective should. "fukk teamwork and building, I just wanna be THAT nikka and ball out."

"Problems in the black community? What that gotta do with me? I got a job (that a white man gave me)"

Everything is about me, me, me. "Behind economically? Nuh uh! Not me, you must be talking about other nikkas!" etc. They never see themselves as part of a group.

They don't understand operating as a group for the collective advancement of said group. That's what others do especially where it matters i.e. GROUP ECONOMICS.

This individualistic, "every man for himself" mentality is rampant among black Americans so I'm never surprised

 

[BrandonBanks]

It isn't a crying shame why when a black kid goes out into the world, chances are he's not taking over the family business or being employed by someone who looks like him?

Every other race of people have a better understanding of leaving a legacy behind, and passing things of value down to their children, so they can then pass it to theirs, except us. Which is why you see so many whites, Indians, and Asians setting up deli's, liquor stores, shoe stores, etc in our communities and then taking that wealth right back to their own communities.

Exactly bro.

right im not even gon hold you, you see it in this thread where nikkas is talking about "not all black parents". nikka wtf, nobody in this thread ever said anything about it being all black parents. I guess since they cant dispute anything we're saying, or admiting to it being true and taking accountability, they'd rather nitpick and claim "not all" black people fit the bill, when simple reading comprehension skills tell you no one said all.

it's impossible for someone to say all people do anything, one couldn't possibly know all people

 

[StickStickly]

Only a small portion of the previous generations "laid the groundwork for our generation to flourish" the vast majority didn't have any long-term investments, stocks and/or bonds, property ownership, college home-buying funds, long-standing interests like mathematics and the like, etc.
Its not "spoiled" to admit that the last generation failed.

how can you say that? you realize they didn't have the same opportunities en masse that we have, right

 

[EndDomination]

I'm quite aware, that doesn't change what I said. We just know the reason why they failed, it doesn't mean they didn't fail.
And let's not start that "they tried their best" BS either, most of them had few opportunities, and took almost none of them.
We can only hope for better as we look toward the future, but a lot of people are damned at the start, growing up in poor unstable households, in areas with weak public systems.
