Dez Bryant Says Black People Are The Reason They Are Unsuccessful,Not White People...

[LEMZIMUS_RAMSEY]

There is systematic racism, but we as a group still have no grasp financial literacy in this country and how to build generational wealth. I truly believe our problem as a people is more financial base more than anything else. Just generation after generation of poverty and not establishing shit to leave for the next generation.

You're suppose to do better than your parents imo. Build on what they did.

Because we tend to waist our time impressing the neighbourgh next door and subconciously white supremacist.

What is the first move we do when we get money? WE BUY A CAR AND CLOTHES AND OTHER STUFF TO shine and shade on others!!

What are the Jews doing in the same situation? SAVING

INVESTING

NETWORKING

FOR THE NEXT GENERATION!!!

What are the asians doing?

THE SAME SHIT TOO!!!

AND THATS THE DIFFERENCE.

I wholeheartedly agree that we as black people need to do more long term growth planning for own lives and our families.

At the same time its hard for some black people to look at long term planning when early death is so prevalent to them.

Its not that folks don't want to do it. Many don't know how and with early death on their minds some look at it like I need to enjoy some of the fruit of my labor now because I just might not be here tomorrow for whatever reason. Thing that escapes many is that they can actually do both saving for the future and enjoy some of it right now. That goes back to some us not knowing how to actually save and grow money.

I understand both sides thought processes.

I do agree too bruh. But we cannot live under the umbrella of FEAR AND DESPERATION.

No matter what we have to built something positive for the generation. brick by brick!!

And Dez must spend his energy and dollars on positivity not on these kind of UNNECESSARY TOPICS!! What do we get from this thread? FUSSING AND FUSSING!!

What do we get from Dez declarations? NOTHING POSITIVE AND CONSTRUCTING.

You are only right because people aren't allowing positivity to flow by not being honest with themselves. It's only exposing weak mentalities because people like dez are trying to uplift while the others are trying to justify their desire to live off the bare minimum. All anyone in his position is trying to say is if it's worth obtaining then go hard for it, if not, keep doing what you doing.

 

[Kwan Dai]

A lot of lies is being spread about the black community too.

Shit is disgusting

This. It's quite disgusting.

 

[MarcusGarvey]

I'm suppose to take a man who can barely read or form a sentence seriously? Ain't his mother a prostitute?

Most athletes don't know shit.

Education doesn't close the wealth gap, saving doesn't close the wealth gap, buying a house doesn't close the wealth gap, starting a business doesn't close the wealth gap

Sandy Darrity has spent the last 15 years breaking down these bullshit paradigms.

Only a matter of time before he goes bankrupt

Black Americans are poor because prior and current generation of white people.

There is very little wealth in the black community, black Americans are playing catch up in a game they can't win.

I was going to write a long comment, but I'm late so I'll just wait another 3-4 months for when the next idiot athlete or celeb makes a blanket statement such as this, but doesn't have the critical thinking skills, nuance or knowledge of history to articulate his point...

add tact, and awareness

It's funny on certain issues a key theme is "You can't tell someone else about their own experiences"...yet people will continuously tell other people their experiences aren't valid because they don't line up w/ what they want to believe as opposed to what someone who is literally living the experience is telling them what is going on...and that goes for race and gender

im a bit confused about what you said....an it's funny cuz it sounds like something I would say just like I would say it. now I see how people get lost in my words..lol

i learned something today. now I gonna go apologize to a few folks for calling them slow.

but anyway....this us all I been saying.

I have lived having another black man try to stop my growth.

so if I comment on it because it happened more than once...I don't see how it's condescending by saying it happened.

also if I see someone is capable of doing better and I voice that....agsin. I don't see how it's condescending.

now if a person is not capable...I won't say shit.

but I know us black folk can do better than where we are. I see the potential. most of us just gotta get outta our own way first.

10000 GOATs

by saying go after something....the perdon hearing it needs to be in a good mindframe...because it can come in 1 of 2 ways.

either you will go after it, and ask for help going after it.

or

you will think he's talking down on you and saying you are not trying.

when you have hatred in your heart and surrounded by negstivity....even positive reinforcement comes off as a put down and the person hears shit you didn't say.

cough hint hint cough

I get what your saying...I just wouldn't focus on his ability to not form a sentence. not all non articulate people are dumb just like not all articulate people are smart.

but the rest you got it.

with this....we need to listen to those that are ahead. if a person is willing to share...if you want to gain, you should be willing to listen.

I will say it's not easy...but it's also not as hard as it has to be.

Ok take off

-Slavery, because anybody can be a slave nowadays especially credit cards fiends

- denial of voting

- segregation ... to an extent

Now lets breakdown

- wealth gap : PUT THE THE FIRST INVESTMENT BRICKS FOR THE NEXT GENERATION. Stop changing phone err year. Stop throwing dollars to the strippers. Stop acting rich and START BUILDING WEALTH!!

- POOR SCHOOLS : it aint about the walls its all about the books. In Africa we got one book for 3 pupils / students, one computer for 40 people and one use per month. Soooo we are far from that reality imo

-GANG CULTURE : you already know. WE DO THIS TO OURSELVES FOR CASH AND MATERIALS

- JIM CROW : WE DO IT TO OURSLEVES . AND IT COST LOTS OF MONEY

- SUBPRIME MORTAGE SCAM : we got fucked up but we keep on going. Nobody forces us to be social competitors in the consummation field.

You see LOTS OF WALL CAN BE BROKEN. Not all but a lot. IT TAKES US, JUST US to bring some progress. If we keep on waiting for somebody else to do it, nothing will change.

 

[2stepz_ahead]

lem is right...

an when you think about it...how many people y'all know is living for today an not tomorrow AND they have kids?

Complete straw man. The nigga ain't even talking about wealth gaps.

This shit has made niggas get in their feelings to the point where they are subscribing all types of shit to Dez Bryants statement.

Fuck it I'm ranting, don't take this shit personally but the truth is the truth.

That nigga ain't mention slavery, or jim crow, or wealth gaps or any of this shit. He talking about taking responsibility for your own life.

Why are niggas so opposed to this idea?

Fear of failure?

Fear of rejection?

Niggas got 100,000 reasons why they can't try and get mad at the niggas who give you one reason to try.

It easier to blame other people for your mistakes than it is to own up, say you fucked up and try to make a change.

Its always somebody else fault...

The white man

Black women

Feminism

Beta Males

Your teachers

The niggas at the gym

Your baby mama

Child support

Your little sister big booty best friend in the thong at the park last summer

Its always a woe is me tale. Its always somebody to blame.

But at the end of the day, the only nigga that can make a decision is YOU!

You choose to fall into the cycle, you choose to fall into peer pressure, you choose how you spend your money

There's shit beyond your control, but if you not doing the best you can then nigga you failed because of YOU.

Take advantage of your own opportunities and talents, there is no guarantee anybody is going to help you or motivate you and they damn sure ain't going to coddle you or babysit you. You are responsible for you.

If life is too hard for you then lay down and die now because it ain't getting any easier.

If you waiting to be "delivert" from poverty you are going to be a waitin ass, because nobody is coming with bushels of money for you. Nobody is coming with a grand opportunity for you, nobody is coming to write you a blank check.

That's not how life works.

You got to make your own way, You got to at least try. You owe it yourself, you owe it to your family.

Niggas ain't passing shit down to their kids but excuses and bad judgment, maybe its not in the cards for you to be a millionaire but that doesn't mean your life is a waste. Alley oop your kid at least.

Because coming up with more excuses ain't going to help nobody. It ain't helping the family and it damn sure ain't helping the race.

 

[T. Sanford]

When you got black college grads that get less application call backs than white HS diploma holders and whites getting 5x the call backs thathan black with an identical resume...cant talk about systemic racism like it was generations ago..not to mention business and housings loans

Ask these whites who deny it if they want to trade scenarios

Pretty soon white people wont have to spout racist propaganda, theres gonna be enough niggas to do it for them.

Trill shit right here.

 

[LEMZIMUS_RAMSEY]

If i have to live under a shelter so my next generation can live in house ILL DO IT

if i have to drive a fucked up car so my son can drive a camarro out their house garage ILL DO IT.

If i have to wear chancletas so my sons will wear 2000 dollars shoes like its nothing ILL DO IT

If i have to eat sardines every dinner so my children can eat lobster ILL DO IT

SOMEBODY HAS TO SUFFER FOR THE NEXT GENERATION. SOMEBODY HAS TO SAVE AND CONCEDE SACRIFICES FOR THE NEXT GENERATION.

We havent started yet as black people. We live and die at WALLMART. WE MAKE LINES FOR THE NEXT PHONE AND JORDANS.

Others do but who is the poorest community?

If you want the jew money DO IT LIKE THEM !

If you want Swiss money donit like them!!. They use to follow the CALVI CODE :

- gather wealth

- work hard

- DONT EXPOSE YOUR WEALTH WITH CLOTHES AND GOLD AND PLAT. the rich is know for HIS HOUSE AND LANDS AND WHAT HE WILL TRANSMITT TO HIS CHILDREN

- BE HUMBLE

The jews follow the same clothes. Nowadays you see their sons flahing big cars and jewelery. A swiss old man told me that its not good for Switzerland because they have forgotten the code and now they are shining with their elders sacrifices.

Canada will get his wakeup call with the pensions crisis. Cause people spend and dont save.

It more about race its about HAVING A CODE AND A BEHAVIOR.

WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO RESET!! OUR CODES AND BEHAVIORS BEAR NO FRUITS!!

WE ARE SAD

WE ARE POOR

IN DEBT

WITH NO PLANS

WITH NOTHING TO TRANSMITT TO THE NEXT GENERATION!!

THIS CANT BE LIFE.
