Today's Thought

Not one lie was told. People love deflecting blame to social media for the way they are.

Chancellor Lee Adams, the son Rae Carruth nearly killed, graduates from ...

Congratulations to this young man for continuing to defy odds. Think about it: Chance's own father tried to have him killed due to not wanting to pay child support to his pregnant girlfriend. Carruth's actions left his son disabled😥. Rae Carruth has been out of prison since 2018, but if we're honest: He should've gotten life with no parole or the death penalty. Now, he wants custody of his son. Why? This is the same scumbag that tried to have him killed to get out of paying child support. If it wasn't for Chance's grandmother, this young man wouldn't have gotten as far as he did. I hope the judge doesn't allow Carruth to see his son because based on what Carruth has done, no amount of forgiveness can undo the damage this man caused.

Thought For Today

 

If someone can fall out with another person, what's stopping them from falling out with you? Everyone isn't real. I understand everyone won't gel with each other, and I'm cool with that. Most times, people fall out with each over petty reasons.

Provision

One of my FB friends asked this on his page, but it's a good subject to write about. From a man's POV, it depends on whether the father is active in his boys' lives. If the father's active, he should be schooling his sons on the 3 P's: Provision, Protection & Profession. Since the question asked deals with provision, that's what I'll speak on, so here goes. If a man's father is showing his son what manhood is about, the boy will grow up knowing how to provide for his future spouse because that's what he saw his father doing. If a boy has no blueprint to manhood & he meets a solid woman, he may have a problem providing for his wife unless he suddenly "gets it." Times are different. Back then, men could afford to be sole breadwinners because goods & services were cheap, so there was no need for the wife to work. Now, it's almost impossible for a household to survive on one income unless the couple is frugal. I think a lot of men have a problem with paying 100% of the bills because of fear: Fear that his wife will take advantage of that, and it's a valid reason. No man or woman wants to feel used & there are some spouses that take each other for granted, like it's expected of them to do this, that and the third. If we're honest, one spouse does all the providing and the other spouse contributes nothing. God forbid something happens to the sole provider, and then what? Can the other spouse step in? I have no problem paying 100% of the bills, but I will be making all....ALL decisions, just saying.

I think if a man was raised with old-school values, he'll have no problem being the main breadwinner. In fact, he would be honored to finish the job his wife's father started.

Misplaced Loyalty

 

I see what this brother is saying because the code is jacked up. Men will ride for their homeboys faster than their woman. I respect the bond that men share, but if he has a good woman in his life, she should get his best before his friends do. To keep it really real, some men will fold on their homeboys for the right price, so for some men, they don't have a "code" to live by.

"Karen" Police

 "Karen" Police

"Karen" is a term used to describe someone that's demanding beyond the scope of what's necessary. It can also mean whites who use their privilege at others' expense. The above video illustrates this very well. A young delivery driver was doing his job delivering packages in the neighborhood when this prejudice fool deems it necessary to confront him about the reason he's in "his neighborhood" First, who is HE (the white man) to question this young man about his logic for being in the neighborhood? You'd think this white man runs the neighborhood the way he questioned the driver. He had the right one because the driver put the other man in his place. Then the white man wants to file a false harassment report because the young black man was speaking facts. That's how a lot of them are; quick to call the police when they don't get their way. The other guy was full of crap because if he was going to call the cops, he would've done it by then. At the same time, if the cops arrived, they probably would've sided with the privileged man and this situation could've been ugly. In today's climate, prejudiced/racist people are empowered to be open with their bigotry.
