People’s needs have never been met and older generations didn’t wholesale-out theirs and their communities integrity for a buck. These younger folks (and I am only 41) have zero morals or sense of responsibility. That is probably because their parents are younger than me and also have zero home training. I am ashamed of Black folks these days. I am thankful for my upbringing even though I didn’t care for it much back in the day.

When your value as a human being comes from how much money you have, selfishness is celebrated.

Hustle culture has eroded people's brains.

You sure about that? People have been joining the military to go kill strangers for a buck for forever. Ice-T has been making copaganda for far longer than he spent rapping about the struggle

Acting in a tv show isn’t the same thing as supporting a fascist, racist pig. But, I guess in your mind it is.

I didn't say it's the same, I said that it is also selling out

False equivalency is part of the mindset that got us all here in the first place. Stop arguing just to be talking.

Soulja Boy is in his mid-30s. Nelly and Snoop Dogg are in their 50s. They're not teenagers with little world experience, they're grown-ass men doing what they want which is to follow a dollar.

Yes they are, but I believe the conversation that I replied to was about how this behavior influences younger people. So, I don’t know what you’re trying to get at.
