One of them on bgol name shady
Man, we need to stop with this shit, man.
Money is a necessity in this society.
This shit is damn near like oxygen.
It has shit to do with happiness.
Pissing don't make me happy. But, I have to do it.
I grew up hearing people talking about 'Money ain't everything!" Taking joy in people who had money having other problems...
...but they complained non-stopped, and the shit they complained about stemmed DIRECTLY from lack of money.
I know what this world run off of. I used to buy into that shit, too.
I don't want to hear no bullshit ass sayings, trying to make people feel better about lacking financial resources.
I don't need money to make me happy. I need to be able to take care of me and mine, and have something to leave behind.
Would you rather be miserable and broke, or miserable and well off?
No one would prefer to be broke over having money, so why act like its not significant??
I've noticed people who have gone through life without resources, have adopted beliefs that help them cope ... yet the reality is, there is no one who wouldn't prefer to have more resources. Its not even about wanting things. You need to be financially stable even if material shit don't mean anything to you. Shit happens, and the world is a cold fucking place for broke people.
true...i work for the public sector so i do work a square job...but..for people in the private sector in employment at will states...this can definitely be applied to...why waste your time when you can make the leap of faith and take a risk...maybe you will find something much more enjoyable/rewarding/better paying...this is the perfect example of the slavemaster and his slave mentality right here.....work hard for massa while receiving little to nothing in return but a pat on the back...because you're lucky to have a little piece of bread thrown to you at the end of the week..because that is all you think you are worth..if that...but at least he isn't knocking old ladies in the head for their purses...
yep and also how shitty the company he works for that this dude did all this and they still did nothing for him which shows how much they appreciate him and in general shows how much big bizz really dosen't give a shit about it's workers..a whole article and vid was put out there about this man everyday journey yet the company still hasn't did anything to help this dude out.. if it wasn't for human kindness from outsiders this guy would still be doin this daily

I learned a long time ago and even at times right here on BGOL that some people in fact many if not most people will stay stuck right in their little world and world view. Most of the time that's as an employee. That's a mentality. I call it an employee mentality. It can also be called a poverty mentality or mindset.
I used to argue and debate years ago with people about being self starters risk takers entrepreneurs providers and adopting the ownership mentality or the employer's mentality. Many people just couldn't relate to it couldn't understand it and couldn't really embrace it. I had a roommate back in the 90s who refused to even consider self employment or business ownership. Too much risk and chance of failure. He wanted a job and that's it. End of story. As long as someone hired him for work at a decent paying job he was satisfied.
I couldn't really be mad at dude. He wanted to be somebody's employee and somebody's customer and that was it. I was like cool. But some of the more ambitious among us want to be the provider and not just the consumer. We want to be owners and not just laborers. Besides providers will always need customers and the masses will always be mostly customers.
This 10 mile walking dude is an extreme example but it's the exact same mentality. Even if the man bought a car nine years ago he would still be just another working stiff schlub among a sea of masses. There are millions out there that think just like this dude just not as extreme. Each person creates their own comfort zone and sets their own limits.
So within his own circumstance and situation this dude did what he felt like he had to do. I can't be mad at that.

Never down a man until you walked in his shoes.
I'm not walking 21 miles
Man shut the fuck up...YOU LIVE WITH YOUR FUCKING SISTER...OLE leaching ass nigga.Theres always a thread that exposes the idiocy & lousiness of some BGOL Members. Some of your Mothers shouldve killed u after you were born...and then killed herself for making the decision to give birth you.
But yea.....
I know for a fact that the cost of living has been rough for a lot of mofos over the last 13+ years....so i dont think anyone in this thread can comment about his finance's...and what he should be doing 10 years later.
Whereas I may wonder why certain people "settle" and lose the strength to fight for certain things, I still cant fully fault them because I understand that what may have been easy for me may not be easy for the next Man; for whateva reason.
Props to that Man for doing what he needed to do to survive....
This shit ain't inspirational.
Props to homie for the commitment...
...but, this is more sad than anything. That much fire in his belly, and he uses it to be a wage slave?
Shit, if you're going to grind that fucking hard, at least be compensated handsomely.
Man, we as black people identify so much with struggle that we want to applaud niggas who struggle the best.
FOH.
There is nothing positive to be taken from this shit, other than it does seem humans will have pity on you if you work hard, but have no desire for upward mobility.
Anyone can hit a rough patch in life...
...but this niggas entire life seems to be a grind, and he got hellified discipline and drive.
As someone once said, 'SOMEBODY has to clean the toilets..."
No doubt.
The issue is, they condition us with stories like this.
Do you know, to this very day, there are many of our people who are afraid to strive, because they feel they will lose touch with the community if they achieve too much? You think its a coincidence that we keep gettin' films that show us in subservient positions to whites in history? I know people feel like that we need to know our history. Thats fine. However, for a lot of people, films like that simply reinforce what many blacks believe: We are supposed to work for and be saved by whites. If you think thats bullshit, why can't we get an slew of movies where the roles are reversed? They're reinforcing this shit, man. They never stop. Ever.
Blackness has so been defined by the struggle, then even on a subconscious level, blacks who aren't in struggle mode anymore even start to feel "less black". Its fucking weird.
Part of the reason we're stuck, is because we are comfortable where we are, because far too many of us feel we are we belong.
I watch battle rap, and would you believe that its actually considered an angle in battle rap to expose dudes for going to college, or working a 9 to 5? Dudes even brag about being from the "slum slums".
You don't think that affects how much someone strives for in life and the choices they make or don't make?
This shit is real, and some people right now think I'm talking crazy.
Slavery mentality is multifaceted.
I wouldn't doubt one bit it affects all American born blacks, in one way or another, and to varying degrees.
we were making a point that the media likes to highlight the loyal black worker..the dedicated negro.. they tend not to show black entrepreneurs cause they don't want nigs to get any idea's of seperating themselves from the worker bee into a independant bee..they want to get in ur head that the only way to make money is by some job hand out aka paycheck and not fig out how to generate ur own source of income..this is def not a mistake and def part of the media trickery.. i always said in general they don't want nigs to have money and by carefully putting out subliminals of the dedicated clock puncher negro to the masses that ur skillset is limited and can only be used under somebody else company

Gat-DAMN
$236,904 as of 2/3/15!
Go head brother. In 2 Days!!!! Yeah!
I hear insurance in Detroit is ridiculously high.
What should piss people off is not the good will effort but the fact that this brother in America has to walk 41 miles round trip to work. And they say America is the greatest country in the world smh more like its a 3rd world country
Fuck this place on some real shit.. Billions can be spent on fake ass wars and giving other countries aid but these piece of shit politicians can take the money and spend it on the infrastructure in the country especially cities like Detroit. There should be no reason why the transportation system in Detroit only goes certain places instead of having bus lines that got into the suburbs.
I hope the brother take that money and get the fuck up out of Detroit, go on an extended vacation to the carribean and sit on the beach for a week straight
On the page they say James asked to set up a committee board to handle the donations. I wonder how much of that is actually going to HIM????
I ask because theres a lot of people out here in bad situations/lack of education. They dont have any idea of how things work in this grimy World. The vultures dive in..... then adversities turn into easy cash for the "exploiters".
I dont know.....
My lack of trust and the overall History of White folks "mishandling" donation funds that were meant for poor Blacks just makes me question things.
Nothing inspirational about working that long and can't buy a cargreat inspirational story.
thanks.

Why not just ride a bike..
Dam they added 20 miles to his daily travel?![]()
Who gives a fuck about the overstated mileage, how bout you pay attention to the message
How bout you get the numbers right and read the story before making replies. Detroit has rapid transit system. What bus system in a city which has a little over half a million people is going to run at 1:30 AM in the innercity?
Damn, you forgot the big green fonts. I knew I was going to catch you slipping.
