I might be the only one thinks this, but when I see black entertainers or athletes that have a bunch of kids, that we know went to good private schools and when they all reach to adult hood, all they do is try to be famous/entertainers or athletes, without furthering their education to become professionals, i look at their parents crazy.

I can see it but you also gotta think that most of those profesionals become that because it's what they grew up around. Just like kids may wanna be a doctor because Dad or mom is one...the same works for some kids seeing their parents in the entertainment industry. You do see some actively speaking out about how they didn't and/or don't want their kids to pursue it but many do anyways.

It’s sort of ties back to a lot of the conversations I know you’ve seen me have because you’ve been in them conversations yourself. A lot of young black boys really don’t want to be regular people. They want to be entertainers because that’s where a lot of the attention seemingly is at. There aren’t enough venues at times, for young black boys to see and feel comfy in becoming that. So the energy is confrontational in these moments. It’s like they’re trying to prevent sliding down into a pit with a buzz saw attached to it.

They need realism. It’s hard to be in entertainment or sports. Can go to school and get a job and live just as good as your oarentsy

I think that the children grow resentful of their parents when they put them to that type of mentorship. They say to themselves I have to invest so much into academics, that the fruits of my labor won’t be fame and glory? Why not?

They see their parents walk around with fame and glory, and they want it too. They look at their parents contemporaries and say well how come when you dropped your album 10 years ago, you were happy because it did better than other artists or you released a movie that made this much millions in its opening weekend. When your contemporaries went up against you and they didn’t do as well as you did, you viewed it as they lost and you won. Yet when I don’t have the motion to my craft, like you did, or it matches the lack of motion that you deemed your contemporaries to be losers for having? You want me to live that life? Why should I want to be an engineer? Why should I want to be a construction worker. Yes it’s important work. Yes being a sanitation worker is important but so what? Why should I wanna deal in garbage while you dance to half naked women?

His other son, seems to be more self assured in who he is. Even doing country music.

I think one of the biggest problems that we have as people, is this feeling of abandonment whenever we hit a certain age. People are more inclined to want to help women out, but feel like they should leave their young sons alone because they believe that their physical development is the same as their mental. Meaning they believe that, because you look like a man, that mentally and emotionally you are a man as well, which just isn’t true.

What this situation screams like? Is a kid who does not do well when people critiquing because he has a low self image of himself, and a lot of black men have that thought process, because there isn’t many venues for us to want to embrace that we believe we can run with that’ll make us look and seem royal.

It’s like if you’re not a musician, athlete, tough guy or entertainer in general? People are going to see you is being worthless. It’s why he keeps talking about not having a silver spoon, standing on business and getting it out the mud. It’s like bro, are you serious? Your father was one of the more well respected rappers over the past 30 years. Your mother was part of one of the more well respected R&B groups over the past 30 years. The two of them combining resources? Very unfortunate

It's kinda funny. The way we and previous generations of men were raise was kinda fucked up in ways, but it somehow worked out for a lot of us, so people continued to go with it. It's not working out for this younger generation for whatever reason though. Like I can see some of these young dudes wildin' out and understand why when I hear about their upbringing, but it's still hard for me to relate to them because a lot of that stuff was present when we were coming up too. We just dealt with it better.

Becuz some idols pushed a narrative that true blackness is measured by how grimey the location you came from. Otherwise, you don’t really understand what real blackness is.

Oh I missed this yesterday. You were talking. I've never understood that mentality. Like it's some sort of symptoms you need to have.

Then mfs on here...

Nigga how would you know? That word comes from the conscious community that you hate also. ..

Tethers look talk and dress like a black Americans but has disdain for black American culture at the same time. And he actually showed that in his question. He hides his disdain behind wit and humor. He doesn't have respect for the culture he emulates. He's a tether.
 
Anyway before this becomes Dis vs foreign blacks let’s stay in topic. I think he will look back at this with regret. And TI can do a little better.
