in some places people tuck tail and run.

my thing has always been....if this is a tough hood...why stop now.
dont them niggas deserve the same treatment thats been oppressing the locals all this time?

sounds crazy but how the energy change when white people come thru if they are the problem?

Yo..check this out.

If you met a bitch one time, ur first love, first pussy, ended up having a baby and being down bad, struggled through it..bitch cheated on you, burned you, got you locked up, taught u alot of life lessons. You wouldn't be who u are without her..

U leave her and do better based on all the lessons you learned. You don't owe that bitch the rest of ur life. Left that bitch for reason.

ok.......so i can say the hood made me who i am....but that dont mean leave people who need help.

not every kid inspires to be a dope boy.
but if thats all they see.....can be mad at that kid for thinking thats all he can be.

maybe the dope boy needs help to change his life and that in turn helps the kid who looks up to that dope boy.



so let me match your post with my own...

a sneeze can turn into a hurricane
 
There’s more than fuckery in the hood y’all ...lot of great ppl too...a lot of older ppl refuse to move from the house they bought so they just stay as the neighborhood deteriorates

cool.

and this is where honest convo comes in.

why is it that people dont want to go to jail over whats right.....but kill, and hurt our own?

if you oppress black people who comes to take the block i expect the same energy when someone white comes to take the block.

yes, it is great people. great families too.
those are not the people making the hood the hood tho. and i bet if they had the right type of help they would do their part to make it better.

the elderly....we need to look after them better just like we need to guide our kids better.

we have to respect all sides to fix the problem.....

We got to stop this thing we do as African Americans where we empathize wit drug niggaz like they adolescent children that dont know how to navigate the world. Cause that's the shit that be having folks think theres no help in politics. Every city I go to, every single one. In the hood is the DSS, and near by is a vocational school. Every city I been to the vast majority of city workers is black and get taken on for entry level trade jobs.

Every city I be in, the radio station play ads all day about programs available for niggaz to take legit opportunities to get out the hood. Call a spade a spade, niggaz out here ignoring resources cause it ain't the cool thing to do.

the reason its so cheap in the hoods is because of crime. the crime is allowed because it drives down the prices of the real estate.

so now that deebo fucked up the hood.....an was allowed to do so....thats ok?

dont know about you but that type shit bothers the fuck outta me.

I agree Hence this thread
 
It's a whole mentality....

We have to change our way of thinking, and that shit don't happen in one generation... Too many old minded people still around....

College is a main part of the problem. It has its pluses... No doubt.... But a large majority of the country will be in college debt their entire lives.

ESPECIALLY black people who come from communities being gentrified.


It's been proven that if all student debt was forgiven we'd have an economic prosperity of unheard of proportions...

Imagine what that does for the black community.

The funniest shit is we are starting to get it with more black folk starting businesses and shit like that... But we behind cuz we don't have the generational experience of running businesses... We just were sent to college cuz our parents ain't know any better... They was given jobs on some affirmative action shit right outta high school.... And those was life jobs


Shit crazy deep bruh....

But the widest part is that some of the best doing black folk are the ones niggaz clowned like they was too dumb for college so they became a plumber or picked up some other trade....

And these turned it to be the niggaz withe the hustle and skill to be in their 40' yet been working for themselves for 10+ years....
