Most People Will End Up In Poverty Either Way
I was asked why I talk about poverty so much? Because I grew up in poverty. And still live in poverty, despite “doing anything differently.”
I was very “interested in breaking the poverty cycle.” I went to college. ✅ I went to law school. ✅ No kids — pregnant at 17 by an 29 year old ex-felon, aborted it a few days after my 18th birthday my freshman year of college.
People wonder why black women have children when they are living in poverty. They have children in poverty with no money and no man. Are there better options? If you don’t have kids, wait to have kids, and/or go to college will you be on the roads to riches? Don’t look at Oprah Winfrey and think you can do it too. Oprah is a puppet for the elites. She’s a token black. There will be a handful of token blacks in every industry to make people believe they can overcome poverty. They are selling you a dream.
My life didn’t come out no better then the women in the hood that have a bunch of kids and don’t have no money. Atleast they have free housing, free medical insurance, free food, food stamps, extra money for each child from the government during tax season, known as the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). Oh and no student loan debt that they will never be able to pay off. Whose net worth is more? The welfare mama or the college graduate who has a bachelor’s degree, masters, doctorate’s degree, phd, and so on and so on?
