Sellout

[@djflash7503]

Why in the Black community it’s always the fathers fault when a young man turns to the streets.I grew up in one of the worst housing projects in America and never thought about getting involved in the streets and me and my brother was raised by a single mother. As a 54 year old African American man I will never let me not having a father in my house hold be the blame for the way I carried myself as a youth. As well as a grown man.And just to add one of my homeboys is the owner of TDE.

[@bossknight3238]

because it's the truth, just like if a young man is successful without his dad he is viewed as a "success". Studies have shown for years the likelihood of a child's success is greater in 2 parent homes. This is not the case for our community as a whole because we've been broken since we got here. As someone born and raised in South Central L.A. I can attest to what Skip is talking about because it's our reality out here.

[@alphonsomorris793]

@@bossknight3238 I wouldn't say necessarily that we've "broken" since we got here. I'll say we've have problems at the foundation of our cultural identity. The black family was really at it strongest during Jim Crow. But it pretty much stayed together up until social integration. silent Generation black American leadership sold out what worked and was industrious about the culture black people were able to cultivate.

Man if you actually sit here and truly believe that a child with two parents doesnt have a greater chance at success becuz yo ass was somehow was an exception to the rule then you arent living in reality. The fact is, especially as black people we need our children raised in two parent households. We have little to no room for error. We need to do things as right as possible. Shout out to yo momma or whatever but stop acting like a positive male role model for a young nigga in the hood wont do wonders for his development.

[@rickimhotep1236]

It's just a cliché bruh! One of my buddies has killed at least two people, he grew up with both parents in the house AND his pop was a preacher! It's a personal thing when we choose a different way, not sure if it's rebellion or what but it does have a little to do with the dad not being thee IF your mother is ghetto or is hardly there because she works. You'll find time to do things with the outside that you wouldn't dare do when she's home! Now that I think about my other old head buddy he's killed at least two people(went to prison for one) and he was raised with both parents, plus 6 siblings. His shit is just in his blood.
