Yup I’ve seen it myself with a black kid I was training for a much better paying job. He told me that he had to live in the same neighborhood with his antagonists and walked away from it.

This outcry is heard from people around the world (sometimes among the lower classes, regardless of skin color). Basically the loafers don’t want to see their “buddies” grow up, leave the neighborhood, and get a good life going.

Anyone who’d hold you back is not your friend.

‘Anyone who’d hold you back is not your friend.’

And that goes double for the politicians who claim they help ‘the community’ but obstruct small business growth, investment, and personal reward.

I guess it never dawned on him that by improving his employment he would no longer HAVE to live in that 'hood, he'd have options.
