Be master of yourself

Stop pretending your oppressed when you're the one responsible for what's happening to you.  I know there are some things that are out of our control but most things are very much IN our control and are no one's fault but our own.  We blame everyone but ourselves and even when something is beyond our control, we blame the wrong people anyway.

Racism is not the reason you're living in the ghetto. Poverty is.  And how can you say minorities are the only ones oppressed by poverty?  Have you seen your neighbors because they're a lot of white folks stuck in the ghetto.  Yet, you still want to blame white privilege instead of the greedy rich - THE REAL REASON SO MANY ARE IN POVERTY.  See, we blame everything on the white man when the real enemy is the rich and the rich come in a variety of colors including black.

I don't see Beyonce living modestly. She's living like a queen while the rest of us our lucky to get her crumbs.  She isn't defending the black race.  She's a sell out telling you what she thinks you want to hear so you'll keep giving her your money.  Jada, Spike, Oprah are all sell outs.  They don't care about us.

But that's for another time. Look, you may never be rich, but most of your problems are your own damn fault and that's no racist. That's not sexist. That's just being honest.

Why is the hood so violent and crime ridden?  White people aren't forcing black men to commit crimes.  No one is.  Poverty isn't the reason either because you can be poor and not rob people and it's damn sure not an excuse for rape.  Drugs? We blame the white man for selling them to the black man, but why is the black man buying them?  No one's forcing him to.  You attack a cop, you're gonna get shot or tackled or whatever so don't do it.

But we never take responsibility for our own actions.  We didn't get an education because we didn't pay attention in school therefore we lack the skills to find meaningful employment but it's not our fault. The white man won't hire us.  Yes, I know there are black business owners and black HR managers that aren't hiring us either, but it's just the white man's fault ok.

Dumbasses the lot of you.

You choose what kind of person you are and, for the most part, you choose what kind of life you have.  You choose to do good, you'll get good things.  You choose to do bad, bad things will happen to you.  And this is the way life works for EVERYONE regardless of color, sex or nationality.

Liberated ladies are always so independent until a man doesn't hold the doors for them.  Hypocrites.

Stop pretending you're a victim if you're not going to do anything to improve your situation.  Stop complaining you can't get a degree when affirmative action says you can.  They don't have white only scholarships but they do have black only.  They have Hispanic only.  They have women only.  Stop saying you can't find work.  You're not looking.  Illegal Mexicans can find work.  You can too if you want it badly enough.

Stop bitching about how unfair the cops are.  Go be a cop and change the way it's done.  Stop bitching that government isn't fair.  Go vote or run for office and and change the way it's done.

You're not oppressed.  This country is so far left, even white people hate white people.  They've been guilted into accepting how horrible you think their ancestors are (even when their particular ancestors didn't do the things you accuse all white people of doing) and they're so desperate to make it up to you that they blame themselves for your poor decision making skills too.  That's right.  Even white people don't hold black people accountable for their own actions.

White liberals are kissing your barely clothed asses while you're smoking weed, barely literate and bitching about how racist white liberals are.  You want to pretend you are oppressed so you don't have to take responsibility for yourself.

Well time's a coming when white people won't be around for you to blame.  White people will be in the minority soon.  They won't be in power.  Hell, the way black people talk, white people may very well be killed off en masse.  But they won't be around for you to blame anymore.

Then will you take responsibility?

You'll probably accuse the Mexicans of oppressing you.  I swear I'm talking to a wall.

Too poor to live here

I hate it when apartments insist that you make three to four times the rent in monthly income. That's as stupid as it is impossible for 90 percent of renters.  Especially when rent is so outrageous.

Think about what they're asking.  The average rent for a one bedroom where I live is $700.  That means I have to earn $2100 to $2800 a month to qualify.  Unless you're making  $20 an hour, odds are you aren't getting that a month.  Pretty much ALL jobs don't go higher than $15 (usually because they're being forced to pay a "living wage") but most jobs don't pay more than $12.  What does that mean?  People can't afford a place to live.

It's a system designed to keep poor people poor by making sure they're housebroke and keeping them out of sight by making sure they can only live in certain areas.

But I bank $1300 a month.  It's not a lot, but I can pay $800 in rent with $500 to spare.  I CAN afford the apartment.  I'm still not rich enough per their standards though.

It's not that much cheaper to buy a house than to rent.  That's a myth especially if you don't have perfect credit.  Plus you have to have A LOT of money to put down on a house and if you had that kind of money, you wouldn't be poor in the first place.  And renting a house costs more than an apartment plus you're often responsible for your own maintenance issues.  That means it takes money to rent or buy a house too.

So what does that leave us?  The ghetto.  The hood.  The barrio.  A trailer park.  Out of sight where the rich don't have to take responsibility for what they've done to us.

Poverty doesn't know race or immigration status.  It's equal opportunity.  The hood is actually the most diverse place in the country because everyone who is poor ends up there.  Black people, white people, Mexicans, immigrants, legal ones and illegal ones, all get shunted into the only place they can afford.  There is no white privilege when it comes to poverty.  You're just as screwed as everyone else.

If you make enough to pay the rent in full, that's all that should matter.  You shouldn't be denied a home because you're poor.  We as a nation should be ashamed of ourselves for the way we treat the working class.

Everyone deserves a home.
