    Sister Being Threatened by Racist Neighbor

    View: https://youtu.be/hexQpQI98po This woman can't even live in her own home in piece. This is even further reason why black people need to invest in single family homes. Even then you need to research the area and meet people. I met all of my neighbors prior to my closing date of purchase...

    Roe vs. Wade to be overturned

    The Democratic party brought this upon themselves. In the 1970s Daniel Patrick Moynihan came up with the Benign Neglect ideology towards black people. That has been practiced ever since then. Black people are promised nothing and nothing is done specifically for black people. Any legislation...

    Avoiding HOAs

    Even the large metropolitan areas there are some houses that you can purchase that are not HOA. Generally speaking these are your older neighborhoods. It is right near impossible to find a newly built subdivision that is non HOA. Most of the developers now are wanting HOAs for the newer...

    Roe vs. Wade to be overturned

    Honestly it needs to go away. People need to be responsible with their sexual activity. This was just something else they pushed off all the black community. If there was no abortion there's no telling how large our numbers would be by now. The Democrats don't want that. They don't want black...

    Avoiding HOAs

    It's crazy because if you're not black this is something that you don't even have to deal with or isn't even a major consideration when purchasing a house. People will never understand the extra stuff we have to think about and consider just because we're black.

    Avoiding HOAs

    There are nice neighborhoods without HOAs. The key most of the time is that the tax rate is outrageous. In San Antonio they aren't necessarily trying to keep Mexicans out. There are lots of Mexican that can be just as racist as white people. They are specifically trying to keep black people...

    Reparations

    Yes, the key is getting the message out. The message must be received by as many in our community as humanly possible. It can be done but the black community as a whole must be on code and be unwavering and non-compromising.

    LONG HAIR DON'T CARE

    I only have a few years left. Mine is thinning a bit too. I've been able to put my knowledge to use to slow down and reverse some of the thinning but eventually genetics 🧬 is going to get the best of me. Enjoying it while it lasts in the meantime!

    LONG HAIR DON'T CARE

    I've always viewed my hair as an extension of my cultural persona. I feel like me not having my hair is a lesser version of myself! Any other brothers in here rocking braids, locs, or cornrows?

    Avoiding HOAs

    Yeah if you get a Brad or Karen that has really decided that don't want you there they can pester you and even take you to court over minor infractions saddling you with legal costs. Most people in this situation end up being forced out of the house because of the inconvenience of having to...

    Avoiding HOAs

    It's pretty difficult in San Antonio too but not impossible. What's hard is finding a nice house with no HOA in a good neighborhood. We really had a hard time. We lucked out and found one in the best school district, less than 3 miles from my place of employment and in a very convenient area!

    Do You Have a TV in the Bedroom

    Yes. Honestly we need a bigger one though! Using a 32" Roku TV right now!

    Avoiding HOAs

    That's how they are. They sit there with nothing better to do with their life than to read through the HOA rules and then just find something to nag you about. Their hope is that they nag you so much that you just end up saying I can't deal with this anymore and move out. Since you are the one...

    Avoiding HOAs

    There are federal laws against discrimination in housing. They can't outright discriminate against you based on race. The HOA is simply a way around this. They can pester you based on nonsense rules. They can enforce rules on you and make you experience miserable. No matter what law that pass...

    HOW DID YOU MEET YOUR SPOUSE?

    But you got a wife out of it. That's far more valuable.

    Biden Administration Announces Ban on Menthol Cigarettes

    I can understand that as I used to smoke a cigar here and there. I my change my ideology on it. Tobacco is a poison. A poison that is able to be sold legally. So I'm completely against tobacco in all forms.

    Do you think you can find a long lasting relationship from social media

    I met my wife on a phone chat line and we've been together 17 years. 2 kids, bought 2 house together. She's been by my side through college and helped me with my resumés and preparing for interviews. Things were different back then though. On the phone lines you still have to have some kind of...

    WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT YOUR WIFE/GIRLFRIEND or HUSBAND/ BOYFRIEND?

    Trust and loyalty is very important. As a man I need to know that the woman I'm with is going to stand by my side of everything falls apart. One of the worst things I ever saw was a man work hard and did everything he could for his family. One day he got into a car accident and ended up...

    Are you a homeowner or renter?

    Got a ways to go before that happens. There are a lot of rural towns that vote almost exclusively Republican. On top of that a lot of the Mexican immigrants that are coming in vote Republican also. Either that or they're smart enough to just not vote at all. A lot of the people that are moving...
