  • You told me “I’m simply making excuses”, when all I’m doing is trying to do is bring nuance to the conversation. Something people have a severe problem with. They’d rather win an argument than have an actual discussion.

    There ARE protests happening all over this country. Get off your butt. I was in Louisville last Saturday at one. There’s also a KKK rally that’s we’re heading out to counter protest. You want the details I’ll be glad to share em

    But you’ll have to find a way there. And you’ll have to have the day off. Depending on where you live you may need two or three since our country spans from one ocean to another.

    There’s so many points people keep making without even taking into consideration the huge differences between the US and Germany.

    Germany is small. Takes nothing to hop a train a wait a couple hours to protest. You think everyone there lives in town? Of course not. They’re using their much superior infrastructure and education to get there. Really easy to get a large mass of like minded people when you aren’t spread out across an entire continent.

    You think being educated is unimportant? That not having public transportation or the ability to take more than one day off is unimportant? Bullshit. Absolute bullshit.

    Yeah, we need to wake up a huge swath of the population. No one is arguing that. The entire point (that keeps getting missed) is that we, as a people, have a lot more obstacles to overcome in order to see the results we want.

    But nooooooope. Y’all have decided easy answers to nuanced situations are definitely the way to go here.

    This is day three of people trying to convince me of a black and white answer and I’m not wasting another second on this conversation.

    If you want to join the Klan counter protest hit my dms.

    I would implore y’all to practice what you preach instead of complaining that others need to do something. Be the change. Cause that’s the biggest problem we face right now, the idea that someone else is going to help us.

    Have a good day.








  • No it doesn’t. Didn’t for me. I lived in a twenty year old Ford explorer for almost a year pursuing mine. Didn’t succeed or make it big, but I wouldn’t have traded it for the world. Not every dream relies on college loans, dude. Not if you’re an artist.

    I’d go so far as to say man, many dreams people have don’t require a degree.

    And if they do? DO IT ANYWAY. I attended two years of college for film. Never got a career out of it. Still paying off my debt. Still don’t regret ANY of it.

    Still getting by on the strings of my butt hairs in my 40s. Still wouldn’t take any of it back.

    Never sucked the love for either dream out of it. Did I get depressed? Sure. Did I go through a lot of shit and a lot of disappointment? Definitely. I’m two years out from failing in my latest attempt at pursuing one of my many dreams. You couldn’t pay me all the money in the world to take it back.

    You’re speaking to me… about me. About my experiences and telling me how it made me feel. Sorry my dude, I can’t agree with you.

    Take those chances. The memories are worth it. The stories are worth it. The lessons you learn along the way are definitely worth it, homie
