Well that mentality is never gonna go away from ignorant people because they like being ignorant and they like hating on positive people who do the right thing.
I dont know.
You guys (Black Man etc.) all seem so intent about talking about a Slave Mentality but then cannot disassociate the situation of black americans from the actions of white people.
I realise there is a connection, but all of you cannot even discuss the topic without drawing a connection between the plight of black americans and all white americans.
The generalisation of all black americans and all white americans as divisible, homogeneous groups is additionally detrimental to any real discussion here.
Generalisation is needed in some cases, but at the heart of all these issues is complexity.
Its not that Black americans should stop blaming white people for the plight of a disproportionate number of their people.
However, its not like white people are entirely to blame for the situation.
I realise the notion of balance is foreign here, and maybe im just sitting on the fence for fear of offended someone, but i genuinely do think inequality in the US is far more complex than many of you believe it to be.
I thought i would never live in a country where i see people living on the street and staying at homeless shelters and sleeping in cardboard boxes. I'm also sick of the stereotype that every homeless person has a mental problem. Well i know that there are some homeless people who are mentally sick but what about the ones who aren't? They need help getting housing and jobs. How can these people better themselves if they continue living on the streets? What's the point of them living when they gotta live like that? They might as well kill themselves since nobody wants to help them get a job and housing. It fucking upsets me that America can spend billions of dollars on a fucking war and other bullshit but won't spend money on helping the homeless better themselves. Homeless shelter employees aren't helping homeless people by forcing them outta the shelter early in the morning to find a job. These people can't get jobs on their own because employers will look at them and laugh because of the dirty smelly clothes they wear and the way they talk. I do shake my head at homeless people that i see standing on the corner and walking the streets everyday doing nothing. Homeless people also have to wanna help themselves though because they can't depend on the government and homeless shelters to take care of them. KRS One, Tyler Perry, Steve Harvey and the character that Will Smith played in The Pursuit Of Happyness movie were homeless at one time and they changed their lives around so these guys should be examples to the homeless.
they can't get jobs cause they're insane or have problems.
plus parents kick them out at young ages for getting in trouble, so they have a horrible start in the game of life.
Shenkie, i don't have a physical disability but i do have a mental disability. I should've figured out a long time ago that something was wrong with me mentally when i was only getting low paying jobs and i kept losing jobs after i graduated from high school. I wouldn't have been able to see a doctor back then anyway because i never stayed with a job long enough to get health insurance. I wanted to kill myself 6 years ago because i was on skid row. I just felt like there was no hope for me finding a good job and being on my own. I still feel that way.
I wanna move outta my parents house because i don't like my dad because he's very negative and he yells and curses at me when i can't figure something out. Parents shouldn't talk to their kids like that when they get upset and my father has always been like that. He yells and curses at my mom often. I get tired of them arguing. They were arguing yesterday because he constantly stays on my mom's case about her weight and he was mad at her a few days ago because she picked him up from the airport late even though it's his fault that happened because he didn't call her to tell her his flight information. I told my mom today that she needs to consider divorcing him because she's never gonna have any peace as long as she stays with him. I know it's a hard decision for her to make thinking about divorce but i think that's a decision she needs to make soon. My dad is talking about possibly moving to Dallas next year and i told my mom today that she shouldn't move with him because their relationship is gonna be the same if they move there. My dad is never gonna change and he's stuck in his ways. I think he makes my mom miserable and depressed and he definitely makes me depressed and that's why i don't wanna be around him. Tomorrow is Father's Day and i'm not buying him anything but a card and i'm gonna give him some money. I'm not even gonna pretend that i love him because i don't and that's because of the way that he talks to me when i upset him.
I'm sorry i got off topic but like i was saying, i'm gonna seriously consider getting a lawyer after i see a doctor and try to get a disability check because looking for a good job is really stressing me out and i'm scared to go back to school to learn a job career because i don't like school. I would prefer to have a job but if i can't get a good job, then i don't wanna work because i'm tired of low paying jobs that will never help me be able to get my own place and have a better life. Ya'll need to stop being so hard on people who have a mental problem. It's not like people with a mental problem were born that way. It's just something that has happened to them that they can't control and i'm one of those people who is just now realizing i have a mental problem. It's nothing to be ashamed of admitting you have a problem. People are so scared of saying they have something wrong with them because they're afraid of what people are gonna say about them.
Somebody oughta drag you out to the back yard and put you out of your misery...
elaborate, who cares, its wucorp
Whatever. I can do that myself. Believe me if i had a gun, i'd do it.

I can't help it that my brain is fucked up and it won't allow me to think and figure things out so i can take care of myself.
Your right but they still need help trying to have a better life. They don't need to be living on the streets.
i think ur just lazy
