fukk them cacs...

I'm sorry but I gotta vent a little cause im mad as hell brehs.

Damn we can't even have a funky ass hashtag.


My pops was there from day 1

He taught me everything I needed to know about dealing people.

He taught me I could be whatever I was willing to work for.

He told I ain't have to put my hands on every nikka that step to me to prove that im a man.

He was there for every football/basketball game I had that he could make.

He tried as best he could to help me study

Dude taught me to never mistreat a good woman.

Dude was strict, he got on my nerves, I couldn't wait to move out at 18 because we were poor in rural Louisiana.

But sheeeeiiiittt!!! Everything he taught me helped me in the long run,

I've seen my Homies die over dumb shyt, I have family in Angola doing life, friends that became dopefiends etc.

But pops never switched up on a nikka.


MOST OF ALL

He taught me to a man, a proud black man.

fukk 'em

Are you being purposely obtuse
All I did was post a fact, you can ignore it and focus on how you want to feel.like most posters here do but most of these things all children can relate to and even the ones they don't based on the way these are described they can probably relate to put in a different context and some of these are just silly.
And I can relate to a decent amount of these, like the one about china in a glass cabinet which my grandmother had and also kept her old statues of black people dancing and stuff in.
But my Asian friend Andy's mom has a similar thing and so did my Hispanic friend Miguel, and this white kid Taylor.
You don't need to deny reality to make yourself feel better.
(This doesn't mean I support the growing up white hashtag though which is petty and is most likely a trolljob anyways)
And once again, three pictures in three separate arguments have shown that I'm black. That's the best I can do unless there's a coli meetup in santa barbara ca once I move there, maybe you should just accept that I'm black especially because the vast majority of black Americans don't even share the views of people on thecoli so it's not unlikely.
And I agree with you all on a lot more than you all are willing to see.
I probably deserve negs for this because it's needless fun killing but it's true.

Breh, when you dig in the "All in one" drawer and see sauces from restaurants that closed years ago, same with matchbooks and Koolaid/wylers packets that
expired a decade ago My childhood is in that drawer

When we cleaned ours out, there was a pamphlet for Montgomery Ward. My Chicago Area people know how long it has been since that place was around.

Montgomery ward , sears and service merchandise Xmas catalog on deck.
my homies aunt bought all my toys and Xmas gifts I wanted out of there cause my parents did not pay attention to the bull.

catalogs were the holy grail,...they had every toy and action figure, without fail.

If you're from Chicago, who remember having a neighbor that had a candy store in the basement?
I remember when I moved to Cali, like where the candy man at, none of the kids knew what I was talking about.
