Jordan: “If a homeless man can ask for spare change he can say welcome to McDonald’s”

[Wild self]

Its interesting you throw work ethic in there when all of the labor data shows poor people work longer hours, more jobs, and more physically demanding roles than the rich. See more brainwashing about the "hard working rich". The actual labor data says the opposite.

These TLR scammers believe in exploitation of labor, not knowing that having that mentality, is why CACs dont believe in reparations for Black Americans. Can't be bootstraps, and pro reparations at the same time.

 

[TheBigBopper]

A lot of black people have been homeless and probably never even realized they fit the definition

Staying with fam while you or your parents get on their feet qualifies too

Maybe if people knew all the different “levels” to homelessness they would be more sympathetic

MJ is clearly not talking about people in transitional states of housing. Most of these people have jobs or are actively engaged in job searches.

 

[NinoBrown]

Its not that, its just all the "bootstraps" type talking points in here

These crackheads weren't with me studying for database structures, stats, nor were they with me when I write in Powershell to automate tasks....

They can do that....then they wouldn't be on the street....

Grown toddlers....pathetic

bull. This is a false dichotomy. One can be pro bootstraps while also recognizing that opportunity is unequal. These folks just believe in maximizing the hand they are dealt.

Do you give spare change to homeless Black men and children?

rarely (if ever) see them.

Honestly, as a black man myself I have a hard time seeing black men homeless. It hurts me. I know how hard it can be on us. I’m not an extreme “bootstraps” kinda guy so I get it.


But to be fair, I don’t know these people and I have my own responsibilities. I give my time and money to charities, I sponsor a black kid every year at my pop Warner where I came up. I’ve given money and time to my high school. I don’t always feel like my personal best investment of “goodwill” is spent on homeless people

 

[Drip Bayless]

Y'all sound like grown ass babies who can't fit in normal sized pants. Loser mentality

No disrespect breh but you’re one of the dumber people on this site, imagine me arguing with a nikka who thinks poverty exists because people aren’t working hard enough, you must be like 19 or some

Not wanting to give money to a homeless person makes you a Republican?

Politics has really mindfukked an entire generation, got people thinking in binary.

Says all homeless people are lazy and accuses others of thinking in binary
The irony…

 

[Menna]

Who has change with them anymore...

I was at a light in the Bronx this dude walks up to my car asks why wont I help him....Im like Breh you got a credit card machine or Cash app...I don't carry metal around with me

 

[jackswstd]

Most rich people have this attitude towards the homeless, why would Mike be any different.

 

[levitate]

Even if he has a felony and PTSD?

 

[O.iatlhawksfan]

I hate seeing homeless white people they disgust me tbh with you, I saw a fat white guy in the corner asking for change and I almost told him something

 

[Luke Cage]

You make 33k a year working at Mcdonald's before taxes on average

You make 30K a year begging in the streets tax free on average.
You are being redirected...

I give a bottle of water in the summer only to Black OGs..but it is kinda sad. I mean, you spent the last 40 years doing something, yet you on the street? You supposed to be retired....

For the young homeless...fukk em....You should be in school or working....can't be too bad if you can score dope and have ebt cards..

Fukk em....

I’m the director of a couple of these programs so I know what’s available for them and the funding issues. And I didn’t say they were lazy. I said they are choosing to be out there. What’s more important to the ones on the street is the freedom to be there and not have to do anything they don’t want to do. About 4 times a week, I go to Chinatown in the underpass by Canal and Cermak or 18th and Halsted and offer some of them who look like they need it the most, a clean bed in a home, with food. Some clothes, a hot shower and a chance to get food card, ID and a job placement or school program. All paid for…

They’ll turn it down because they “don’t want nobody telling them what to do” or “telling me when I gotta be back” or telling me I can’t smoke ok the house” etc. Instead, they’d rather be on the street. Doing what they want. I’ve gotten dudes jobs not just through my program but personal connections. My girl at the time was a bartender at Tim O Tooles. Got a guy a job bussing tables and she said he quit on her because he “ain’t with all this on the clock shyt”. By the end of the week we bumped into him by Union Station sweating like bytch on a 30 degree day, high as shyt. That was his choice. He could’ve stayed in my building even if he quit. He just didn’t want the structure.

Right now, if there’s ANY coli breh that needs a place to stay, I got a bed for you that’s paid until June 2022 if needed. You just have to attend my meetings at least once a day, don’t bring drugs or alcohol in my building, respect the 10pm curfew and turn a form in each week. I got you.

I say that to say there’s a lack of funding in plenty of areas but there’s with housing in Chicago, I huge city, there’s more empty beds than there are abled people (not mentally ill) fill them. Shelters, halfway houses, recovery homes etc. I have almost 10 beds right now. I got better shyt to do than driving around to homeless camps trying to help a nikka that ain’t trying to help himself. But I do it anyway.

I still disagree with your conclusion but this is some real nikka activity

Exploitation is the causes of most homelessness. Exploitation of labor, and the c00n blacks that engage in that mentality, is the logic that CACs use to not pay black people back for slavery. Add the extreme cost of living, and you wonder why homelessness, and "socialism" is getting more popular than ever.

@Rhakim I know you on a break from The Coli, but your input is needed.
