What is wrong with the people today?
I just to vent for a minute. Many time black people constantly talk about how the "man" is keeping them down and that EVERYBODY is a racist. Well coming from a Black female I would have to say that's a bunch of crap. This guy over at Mathew Henson stated "You know sista, the white folks want us to be controlled so they put us in these houses/projects to watch our every move". I had to let him know what time it was. I was not born rich but my parents wanted to live a certain way. We never lived in the projects because my mother thought that was "lazy livin". We always had a nice home and a nice car and there may have been times when the bills may have overwhelmed them but we never knew it. Today I am the same way as my parents. I told that old fart that those people have a choice. The system is not designed to be a generational thing. It is put in place to help you move ahead in life. For instance, in my opinion if you decide to go to school then you can ask the state to help you with food and shelter until you graduate. Same thing for trade school but to feel that you are "made" to live in public housing really makes me mad. I come from Pasadena CA where a shack can run you 250k and living in AZ was a nice change. This state is very affordable and believe it or not it does help those in need, minority or otherwise. I cant stand for people to think that they are owed something. How can you complain when the stuff your getting is free?
