Two words:
Personal responsibility.
Personal responsibility.
I like you as a poster but you're being obnoxious in here. Niggas really trying to build with you and you keep saying the same thing over and over again. Talking to us like we are fuck ups when a few people I know on here doing better in life than you are and go home to a Black wife.Two words:

Everything no matter what and no matter how illogical gets blamed on white supremacy and the system. The argument goes way too far.
The argument extends to a point where our hand is overplayed. We're acting as if we have a royal flush when it's actually just a pair of 3's.
That's what leads to people saying that systemic racism doesn't exist. Blaming white supremacy on a person who gets best up by the police when he gets pulled over, has an odor of weed in the car, is asked to get out and refuses and then even the police go to arrest him he resists. That's insanity. It's not white supremacy. It's a criminal being arrested.
Blaming white supremacy on a person who drops out of high school gets a low paying job and ends up in debt but complains about not being able to get a house. It's not white supremacy. It's bad decisions. ( I'll grant that sometimes schools in our areas may not be the best but that's why you work hard to get out of those areas.)
Blaming everything on white supremacy renders the argument moot. It becomes watered down and meaningless. It just feels like no one is willing to accept even a modicum of self accountability.
At that point people dismiss the argument altogether as false. And that's because it is if you frame it in that manner.
There is s to systemic racism. There is systemic oppression. There is sabotage. I just get that not everything and every instance can be blamed on that.
What you guys are doing is just no matter what the circumstances are going back to saying it is the fault of the system.
He wouldn't have sold drugs if not for white supremacy.
He wouldn't have robbed that store if not for white supremacy.
He wouldn't have dropped out of school if not for white supremacy.
As if these arguments will stand up in court. You and I both know they will not.
Honestly it's just stupid and absurd. Grow the F up.
If you know you live in a racist country then why would you give "the system" any reason to work against you by doing something as idiotic as becoming involved with drugs?
If you know that then you avoid getting in trouble. Especially when it's something like drugs that you have no reason at all to be involved with. In this day in age there are other ways to feed your family. Uber, Lyft or GrubHub are all decent short term options.
Getting a CDL, welding certification are good options for those that may not be quite as school savvy.
Going to school for something like radiology tech or respiratory therapist are great options if you're a bit more comfortable with school. Short term and lots of job opportunities after. Regardless of the problems with discrimination chances are you'll land on your feet.
But instead of that you guys will sit back and not only support the person dealing drugs in our community. You'll make excuses and blame it all on white supremacy. Fuckin stupid!
Yet I get talked down to for moving out of the black community. This is why no one wants to stay there. Instead of not supporting the drug dealer you guys fully support their bad behavior. And it's that level of enabling that puts our community in the crapper!
