“Consider the cold, hard reality of growing up in one of these communities where every third person goes off to the penitentiary, where gangs and violence and drugs are everywhere. You can walk proud and tall wearing your colors in your’ hood, but you put on a suit, go downtown, and try to get a job, and nobody will give you the time of day. That’s where these young men are coming from. “

Over the weekend Mrs. Snoop and I were watching some TV show, (I think it was Meet the Press) another discussion about race and how black folks are fucked, America is racist, bla, bla, bla.
Michael Dyson one of the guests went on this long diatribe about basically this conspiracy that America’s racism and class structure somehow pulls the rug out from under folks thereby keeping people poor.
I know this is a crude synopsis, but I have the gist. I am getting to the point that my brain starts to shut down when I listen to these type of discussions for too long.
I’m a simple dude, with very simple logic. The choices we have all made have lead us to be where we are right now.
I am working in a job that is perfectly suited for my past background.
I make an average salary. Could I be making more, sure. I received my skill sets via the Air Force. I chose not to attend college, because just thinking about school gives me hives.
But I am where I am not because of some collective conspiracy to keep me a middle class working slob, I am where I am because of the choices I made.
The choice I made to not to attend college…
The choice I made to enter the Air Force…
The choice I made to switch career fields…
The choice I made not to take another overseas assignment to Greece…
The choice I made to date a woman with two kids…
The choice I made to move in with her…
The choice I made to marry her, I was only 20…
The choice I made to move my new family to base housing…
The choice I made to move my family off base…
The choice I made to move into a certain neighborhood…
The choice to leave the Air Force and take a civilian job that was offered to me…
The choice to move again…
The choice to leave my job and help start a not-for-profit endeavor… less money
The choice to get involved in my community…
The choice not to run for a congressional seat…
The choice to dedicate more time to community and political issues rather than family issues…
The choice to stay in my marriage a little longer than I should have…
The choice to leave my wife…
The choice to do some really dumb shit for a time…
Finding Mrs. Snoop
The choice to leave my job and move closer to the future Mrs. Snoop…
The choice to move in with Mrs. Snoop…
The choice to marry Mrs. Snoop…
The choice to say at a job I was not completely happy with…
The choice to marry Mrs. Snoop…
The choice not to go back to school… strongly suggested by Mrs. Snoop!
The choice to accept a job making a lot less money that I had been, but got foot in the door so to speak…
My current life.
Now depending on how you look at it, these choices can be considered good or bad, either way they were MY choices.
I’m not a rich man, don’t have a big house with lots of bling, but I’m content.
I’ve made mistakes, done some dumb shit, wish I could have taken some things back, but overall I’m cool with how things are with me today.
If you are poor, broke, chronically unemployed, unhappy, in a marriage or relationship, living in a situation you hate, living paycheck to paycheck, feel like you are bogged down with kids from failed relationships, worried about your future, have no HOPE, what choices did you make that leads you to TODAY?
Nothing in my life happened because of racist white people wanting to keep a brotha down, or America wanting me to fail.
Fucken too many damm people need to find someone else to blame for why their life sucks.
Again, look at the links above and go to some black website and see how many doom and gloom racist America articles you find. Negros refuse to be honest about the choices they make, education, unplanned pregnancy, multiple babies’ daddies, relationships with people who have no hope, no future, no ambition.
All of these articles about how unfair life is for fucken felons are a damm joke.
Out of all the choices I made in my life, one choice was not to engage in criminal activity and BECOME A FUCKEN FELON!
If you want to know why black folks are so angry and pissed off and filled with excuses is because the misery is recycled in the MSM and on these black websites and newspapers and listening to idiot fucks like Rev. Wright or other racial pimps.
Forget my list of choices. If I, Snoop fail then this evil racist society must be the cause.
Misery loves company, Negros love to dwell in misery and apparently they have a lot of company.
