Seeing so many black ppl be against this just goes to show how brainwashed so many of us are as a people.
Cacs amassed generational wealth using the same tactics, but we'd rather let our own kids suffer in the name of "I got mine the hard way, you do the same. " I don't know where this dumbass logic came from.
My father said something a few years to me, and it always stuck. I was young, just started my career. I was out paying rent. I recently purchased a piece of property. That shyt was killing me financially. Pops owns a duplex apartment and told me I could stay in the vacant apartment while I paid off the loan on my property. "I told him na I'm good I'm a man, I can pull my own weight."
Pops legit gave me the Cosby look
, basically told me that he worked hard to give his kids advantages that he didn't have and that I was being an idiot. He probably woulda called me a dumbass if he wasn't one of those old school religious folk.
Needless to say I accepted the offer, I have one more year left on the loan and I recently went back to school.
He always told me, as long as I'm trying to do something positive in life, he'll do whatever he can to help me succeed.
I'm gonna do the same for my son.
