That take for the immigrants is dumb af and you should be ashamed of yourself black man. Immigrants get hell of hands outs they don’t just come over here to work. And when they do it’s 10 of them living under one roof not getting KICKED out at 18. Just admit your generation fucked up… also life wasn’t hard for you back then you could buy a house for 20,000 not 400,000 please stop with your excuses Phil👍🏾
That's right Phil me and my mother just had this conversation and I was not dogging on her and I'm in my fifties and that was the goal to put food on the table clothes on your back shelter over your head if you can't read and not willing to learn and listen then I guess you wouldn't know anything about financial literacy take them braids out your head maybe something might go in dummy piss me off.
Up until 1960 we couldn't even buy Life Insurance we could only purchase burial insurance and sometimes we didn't even get that those are the conversations I have with my mother she commends me for trying to leave something for my grandkids because they didn't have that luxury my goal is to not leave it for my daughter because she don't have sense enough as a donkey
She should be mad of her parents for not getting her braces❗😳
I’d put that ungrateful, Mr.
Ed looking MF out…….
You did well Phil. ❤️👏👏👏👏
She's learning early how to blame everyone else but her 🙄 The sisterhood already got to her. Accountability is their kryptonite
Read my mind. No one holds black men's hand, they have had to just "figure it out" waaaaay longer, but the women feel entitled to an instruction booklet for everything & wait for permission. Hell I used to be that 😂 my husband took me out of that.
@@neeboone 🤔 actually alot of Black men get hand held all thru adulthood. There are some baby boys out here. I think you call them pookie and Ray Ray
Thank you!!!
She' s a child of feminism
@@TrollingWithTheTruth Correct.
As someone who just got a job fresh out of college and is about to move out soon, I am super grateful for all the effort my parents put into raising and keeping me on the right track. Even if there were things they didn’t teach me, I know for a fact they did (and still are doing) their damn best.
Salute 🫡 to you and your parents on a job well done.
She needs to be very careful about what she say, because it's going to be a time when her children start blaming her, just as she blame her parents
Only if she repeats those actions and doesnt change. She seems pretty self aware; which is where change usually starts.
Yep, that's usually how karma works. And ONLY then, will she and others like her finally "get it"
Interestingly, there are videos that shows this pattern going all the way back to at least the 1940s, where the younger generation blames their parents. And even after the Civil War, in the 1870s, the newly freed young people blamed their slave parents for holding them back 🙄 We gotta stop looking to the past to find blame and work together on a better future.
Exactly all her kids gonna be entitled
Always.
Parents DO have a responsibility to provide education for their children, and the school system supplements that. Still, the student is responsible to reading, and studying and doing the WORK. I taught myself to read at age 4, and my parents gave me plenty of books, which I am grateful for. When I graduated H.S. and discovered the valedictorian and all the "top.10%" were cheating, I was shocked. They just wanted to "pass", I wanted to earn my grades. Parents must lead the way, but young folks can't be lazy, either.
Great your parents did their part and you did yours.
Alot of kids black and white want to be the seen ones and then complain because they can't get a high paying job because they haven't got a HS educations or been passed on to get them the hell out of there and they're not capable of filling out a job application.
@@iprainwater5495 Heard. Must add that I did not expect my parents to do anything for me (mind you, there were problems in the house and a lot of basics were neglected, such has having a stable home and learning anything about finances, even though my father owned a business). I saw it as my responsibility to the Most High to work and apply myself to use the gifts He gave me. I worked 3 jobs three years in a row to get through college after my parents "changed their mind" about supporting me in that process. I didn't feel mad at them, because I had scholarships and felt LUCKY that I got to go to college in the first place! Had they paid ky way I probably would've slacked off anyway lol. That said, it took me YEARS to get on my feet but I am ok with how things turned out.
I understand when nothing was given, do you actually understand that before slavery, Black people were initially wealthy and owned gold and silver in Ghana? When white Europeans colonized and destroyed Ghana by taking away its resources. Ghanians became poor and desperate because poor white Europeans destroyed that country. 500 years later, white people are wealthy not because they worked hard, but they did it through economic sabotage and lynching. I am not saying that people should not work hard, but what I am saying is that conditions have changed in the last 40 years due to bad policy decisions from corporate America, the U.S. government, police, etc. Working hard is good, but it is not sufficient to get ahead. It is about working smart and navigating the unexpected. By the way, you should know about your American history.
@@mwp446678 Right on - it is not lost on me that the Continent is the richest region on the planet, in terms of material resources as well as knowledge, science, etc - all the major advancements in our modern culture have their genesis there. And yes, I know that the "wealth" of the Western world and America was stolen from the Continent. Meanwhile, I understand that working a job can only do so much to get one ahead as there are only so many hours in the day or years to live. I did not have a family to assist me in getting started (left home at 17) , so I used sweat equity ( working multiple jobs around the clock). There was no place to go back for holidays, etc, could not afford to be sick, miss work, ever. Now I am in a better position, can work when I want to, and understand that owning IP and businesses is the way to be wealthy in this system.
@@smustipher
Good for you you earned yours the hard way and I'll bet you appreciate it more because you earned it.
I went to school 12 years and liked 3 credits to graduate and didn't go back because I didn't like school. And joined the Navy and passed my GED test and got a paper but no certificate. Ky wouldn't issue the paper because I liked 1 point to meet their specs. So I said to hell with it.
I worked in the coal mines and went to mine foreman school and passed 11 of 12 test in 2 days only having to retest the one. Also went to truck driving school and passed the paper test in the top of class did the road test and went to driving.
Anyways I finally passed my test for GED at 40years old and never opened up any books. It's whatever you set your goals to do.
Sorry for being long winded
My parents are immigrants. My mom said take the good from our culture and the good from the American culture, and follow your path. She also said each generation has to go further than the last. My dad said I don't have any riches to leave you. All I can do is give you an opportunity to get an education. They both had a vocational education, worked in a factory, and produced 5 college graduates.
You misunderstood me because not everybody can rise above the tidal wave and survive. For example, I can work hard, but I don't the ability to navigate, read, write, etc. By the way, you did not read my statement very carefully because I said that white people did not have to work hard because they economically took resources away from Africa. Not everybody shares the same experiences in your community. It is like ignoring that some African Americans with disabilities cannot get ahead because leaders, corporate America, and the federal government made the environment worse for them. Remember what Ta-Nashei Coates, an advocate for reparations, said, "How to steal things, exploit people, and avoid all responsibility?" because corporate America, leaders, and the government are doing that exactly to Black Americans. That is why cash reparations are needed for African Americans to get ahead and build their own economy. You need to wake up to the economic reality of the 21st century.
@@mwp446678 I didn't read your statement at all, and I have no idea what you're talking about. My comment is in reference to the video clip that Phil showed. I think you typed under the wrong comment.
Your mom is a very wise women
Yes as parents we are responsible for teaching our children. Me and my husband are constantly teaching our kids life lessons. However, it's ultimately left up to them to decide whether or not they are going to listen and implement this knowledge on life. Now, I have one child that listens and the other does not. So a/g we further teach the defiant child that by not following the rules and listening, they are going to have a hard life. Unfortunately, as a parent you can be the best parent ever and still have children that are going to choose the difficult path b/c their hard headed.
I know exactly what you mean.
But that's not what she is saying . She saying they are not teaching what they need to know
Lots of black parents don't do this though. It's more authoritarian "don't do this, don't do that" style parenting instead of explaining things to children so they know what the appropriate response is.
well said :0
I think the assumption that every parent is a good parent is not genuine. Her parents might not be like you.
These youngsters are something else. I'm 41, and I'm glad I listened to my parents. Listening to them helped me to avoid some of life's pitfalls. She should've joined the military, and then she would've gotten a REAL wakeup call.
Amen brotha
I'm 45, I had two choices, college or military. I chose military. Never had a college loan, always made at least 50k to 80k plus all the benefits. I moved out at 18 to never return. He neck tattoo isn't going to help this lady out either.
@@smallbusinessdreams Those are same choices i had after college. These kids are blessed with more choices now.
@smallbusinessdreams , How did you make 50K in the military straight out of high school? Enlisted members have to be in a while before they come near that type of pay.
I bet this chick makes her parents wish birth control was retroactive.
As a Gen X parent i instilled in my offspring morals and values that my parents taught me. My kids are grown adults now both in college, I'm a very proud parent indeed.
I disagree with u bro
Good! But most of the Gen Xrs were bad parents …

Good for you. If you were a good parent then congrats. But you dont speak for every other parent out there.
Hi Phillip! This young lady gave me anxiety 😬. I grew up with part time parents , been in foster homes and lived with family. I didn't complain about my life. I made a decision at 12 years of age that I didn't want a life like my parents.I prayed and was led by faith to get where I had to go.I went to school, got several scholarships, went to college, worked 2 jobs and bought a house at 26 years old with one child and a single parent. I'm now 50 and still learning and growing. My daughter is 27 years old and I talk to her constantly on navigating through life. I agree with all that you said Phillip. Life was very different before 2000's. We had to work in order to eat. SMH
I just turned 47 yesterday, I had to learn financial literacy by trial & error. I'm doing well now, but I had to learn on my own. My parents weren't financially literate.
Same here! I learned financial literacy from reading, yt videos and learning to correct mistakes along the way. All the internet tools are at their disposal and they still wanna complain? Just stiff-necked and lazy af
Exactly! I can empathize with some of what she said. I expect the older generation to defend themselves, but I’ve met and encountered people just like her who had parents that neglected and emotionally abused them. I’ve experienced that myself as well.
The girl was actually spitting the truth. Parents need to teach their kids better.
We are responsible for learning when we get older.. It's clear that many of us had parents that failed, stuck in their ways and passing down generational curse especially with the single parent nonsense.
Facts
Marv L I always say the older black generations failed us and failed us badly they failed to protect us as children
But the CURSES are easy to break.
No it starts with the parents to teach, after that it's the kid job to extend on his or her learning
Your parents are responsible to teach you that you need to learn when you get older .
Most parents have failed. Many parents shove tablets and tv in front of their kids faces. They don’t have meaningful conversations, aside from most being single parent led homes.
😢
i agree older folks never wanna admit they fucked up not all but most and I'm 32 especially in the black community and when you go out and make it they hate on you for doing better like wtf yall should be proud not mad at your children for doing better than you and not blaming just observe
@@ca8550 my mother didn’t teach me a damn thing and she’s a baby boomer. My grandmother and TH-cam university is why I’m successful. That boomer generation never wants to admit they fouled up.
Agree with this thread so far
@@Mrjonezzz now I know and understand what my father told me I would see in my lifetime. A generation full of darkness. You are that generation. All I can do for you is pray that God Almighty have mercy and kindness upon you .There is still hope for you. With all sincerity and love. BOOMER.
I'm scared to see what this next generation will be like
Looking for guidance and directions as usual
Wiped out if they keep this unaccountability foolishness going...
Ain't gonna be nothing nice
@@PhoenixRain01010 you suppose to pass down wealth old ass, not trauma and debt. Most of you never had a saving at least…
They say greatness skips a generation, hopefully bullshit does too!
Doing chores isn't irrelevant... It build's a good work ethic which helps prepare you for the real world
Its a difference between chores.andbeing lazy my mom was.very lazy she used to make cook for my siblings and watch them when I lived with her he was she was with her man she was also abusive and liked calling me names I moved in with my dad parents fail not teaching kids nothing
I agree! Imagine if parents didn't make their kids do chores? The kids would grow up to be disgusting adults.
It also helps with organizational skills, when you don't clean your not organized, organized people rule the world
@@damon4104 🤣 His comment was so confusing, I'd assumed he translated his comment from a different language into English. Are you telling me he *STARTED* his comment in *ENGLISH?*
Not just that, it helps you become DISCIPLINED to keep your living space clean. Everyone should know how to clean! These kids kill me😡😡
Delusional. Ungrateful. Unrealistic. Absolutely unappreciative.
This dude is proving her point 🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿
I blame the children's failures on the parents. Unprepared parents make for unprepared children.
Exactly! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
There is some truth in what she's saying. I'm 45 and I grew up in my dad's repair shop ,crying because I had to learn a trade . 2008 financial crisis I called him to thank him for teaching me a life-long skill.
Gen Z can’t take advice at all!!!!!
The bottom line is most Gen z are very disrespectful, they hate correction and always think they knows everything, so most parents can't tell them anything.
I learn about life and accountability because I want to.
Edit: 15:00 facts 💯
She not lying, I make sure my kids know the game. I at least had a uncle who shared the game when he came through.
We cannot blame our parents for what they simply did not know. I had a healthy childhood, zero traumas. And now I'm a pretty decent adult and I plan to do more for my children because my parents who were poor still put me in a position that did not set me back. I understand as an adult I have my own responsibilities. And as a parent all you can do is your best.
Exactly but this generation blames everyone else
If they don't know so much then they shouldn't have children. If you are poor don't have children. You said you had a healthy childhood but so many others that come from that situation don't.
@@bellaapple2166 you sound crazy!? Don't have children because you aren't 100% well versed in everything on earth?? How bout learn something on your own as well, parents can only show you what they know but if being loved and well taken care of isn't important maybe you shouldn't have children either
@@bellaapple2166 and if being poor means don't have children most of us wouldn't be here. Most parents do the best they can to give their kids the opportunity they never had
@@Rick-fe8xn Poor people (who don’t have their life together)having children isn’t a good thing.
There’s a reason why our communities tend to be so broken and dangerous.
"Y'all taught us irrelevant a** s*** like doing chores" and I'm done. I can't take what she says seriously at this point
Generation X Did a lot of partying,
Didn't really Have set asides to give Their kids a Head start,
Allowed the Crack Epidemic to Hit them Detrimentally HARD!! To the point it Produced Crack Babies and Spiked Murder rates Drastically
A Lot of the Baby Boomer Grandparents had to help raised a lot Generation X's Children,
Gang culture took off with Generation X,
Single Motherhood Spiked with Generation X,
A lot of Millennials Did Get Jobs at 16 Years old to help Generation X single parent Households With bills.
My Peer Group which is 80's Millennials is the Bridge that Seen and can relate evenly with Both sides.
We, 80's Millennials were Raised by Baby Boomers and Generation X and were also the beginning of the Digital revolution Just before 90's Millennials and Gen Z So I know a little something. This Young Lady Has quite a few points, lets keep it a buck 🤷🏾♂️
The type of parents she's talking bout exist for sure I know em but the bottom line once we are grown what we got or didn't get as a child is now our responsibility to build ourselves and not point blame to see who is at fault for our short comings
@@PrinceInawRakah facts
I totally agree. But it’s just rough to have a bad start because your parents did not try to teach you important things. Through my experience it literally did feel like I was being thrown into the lions den and just winging it. And my parents were financially stable people who work in corporate America. What I’ve learned is that being a parent isn’t just about provision, it’s also about being mentally and emotionally there for the child. Something my parents did not do. Which is why I empathize with her. A majority of the older generation just think that if food is on the table and clothes are on your back than you’re a good parent. But that’s honestly not the piece to the puzzle. It’s better off for a kid to be with a parent who doesn’t have a lot, but is mentally there for their kid than for a parent to be financially stable and not be mentally there for their kid. I lived in a suburb with a bunch of green grass, low crime rate, and abundant resources. All of that really doesn’t matter if you don’t have proactive parents. You might have a safety net, but good finances can’t fix neglect, emotional trauma, or willful parents. All the essential finances were covered but the family structure and proactive still wasn’t there, it still was missing. Because of diagnosed emotional abuse from my parents I’ve tried to commit suicide several times and everyone thought everything was ok just because we lived in a nice neighborhood, I shouldn’t have anything to complain about. That was always said to me, even though internally everything was a mess. Despite all that I know it’s up to me to fix it. I’m winging it but, things are getting better.
She is right.. most Gen x people were horrible parents
Most of us were not taught about financial literacy
Go to school, get to class...Take math, financial planning, or business accounting. There is so much educational software out there, it aint funny.
@@ojivey8273 of course that's not the point. The point is that we are learning about this subject now, playing catchup
@@sbolden123 I am a 65 year old baby boomer, and I knew about financial literacy from the age of 15.
@@ojivey8273 you're an exception not the rule
@@sbolden123 Well the "rules" are going to have to change. It is sad and comical to see young people, pretending to "know" everything but understanding virtually nothing about the real world. Then when "reality" hits, then it's " you should have taught me how to think" , or " you should have taught me how to get a job" , or " you should have taught me how to read, write, and do mathematics ". Welcome to reality.
Lol. Grandparents definitely treat their Grandkids better…but it’s just the way it is 😂😂😂😂 she is having a crisis moment
She's right about financial education, but yes growing up in a single parent household my mother did the best she could. Still, boomers failed us.
She is practically explaining the reasons why she's a failed daughter. Poor parents...
Okay She’s right on half of the things she talking about
She's really just voicing her frustration from being raised by a single mother.
🎯💯💯
Everything you said Phil I'm teaching my kids, who are actually listening!... I'm Gen X & I remember being 15 & asking Moms "Can I get a few bucks for bus fare & a movie with my boys?"... Moms was like you gotta a J.O.B.? I didn't at the time & said no... She replied "guess yo' ass ain't going!"... I got myself a job bagging groceries that next weekend & been working ever since... I instill in my kids the motto "anything worth having you gotta work for it, cause nothing in life is free."
I’m 41. My parents taught me how to survive and be self reliant. These kids are hard headed and stupid.
It's called Survival and only the strong will Survive.
Really? I didnt know we were animals living in a jungle.
This is really what it's coming down to....but a lot of this generation won't get that memo until it's too late
@@PhoenixRain01010 exactly 💯
I uses to think like her until I realized my mom was literally the 1st generation in my family to not experience Jim crow. My grandmother was a sharecropper. We gotta remember the civil rights movement wasn't so long ago
That has zero to do with anything, and is just a long excuse for laziness. Asian and Hispanics didnt experience Jim crow either, yet they still somehow have their stuff more together, and have a higher socioeconimics than we do.
@@th3azscorpio Did Asians and Hispanics have to endure generations of slavery in the US?? You need to remember these people didn't arrive to our country with a slave mindset. They were free people who knew exactly what to do to reap the benefits of this country. Our community got into this mess over hundreds of years and we need time to get out of it.
More like the crack epidemic in the 70's & 80's (after the Civil Rights movement) that created a genocidal cultural shift within urban black America sadly still going on wasn't that long ago
I agree with her. But you also right Phil. But my parents struggled too. So I had to learn for myself
Facts
Shes 100% correct. Gen Z os screwed. The millennials have it bad, but gen Z has it even worse. They're failing both academically, and at life. Most dont even know basic things, like cleaning up after themselves. Gen X and early millennials dropped the ball big time. Gen X did to their kids everything they accused the boomers of, and worse.
Yeah I get some of what she was saying.
I agree with her when she says that black parents throw their kids out instead of teaching and helping them into adulthood. It's a trend that needs to stop
Parents can never do it all because they do not know all.
If you cannot provide opportunities
for your children...
DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN!
It is not our ENEMY'S responsibility
to give your children with JOBS...SMH!!
That generation is #$@*ed up. Smh
You kids are hardheaded.
Some parents didn't tell their children anything but the ones that do you say they don't know their talking about. Then you get mad when you mess up and blame on the parents.
in college, when me and my sisters both in college on summer break running up the electricity from being on our computers all day, asked to help chip in for the electricity bill
if over 18, there is nothing wrong w parents asking for help w paying utilities if you are still living off them
I don’t think we should keep knowledge away from our children. Throwing them out there to the wolves is crazy.
I understand how she’d form her opinion but the thing is Boomer and Gen X are retired or about to retire, we have to accept it for what it is and live according to our means.
The problem is the younger the person the more instant gratification they are looking for..they feel as if everything is going to be handed to them without putting in work..Sorry young lady you failed yourself
You can't deal what you ain't got.. The information age has opened our people to opportunities we have never had before.. She will be alright!! She just want to rage on social media.. She needs to talk to her parents if she got issues..
The girl does have a point. we could use more forthought in our community.
This Little remedial class member Needs To Stop.... This is why most folks simply Left Dont Like These Kids 😖.
I tried to teach them but they didn’t want to listen! Now that my kids got slapped upside their heads a couple of times, now they come to me asking for advice and my wisdom 😮
She is right!!!!! Deal with it......
I'm Gen Y and only financial literacy my parents taught me is get a job, spend money on needs over wants, put my money in a credit union and have life insurance.
Although thats very basic advice, its better than most.
Okay to spend on wants if you know how to budget I separate when I can buy wants
Cellphones and social media are the parents now.
She said take some “advice “ l was thinking not from her!!!
Please Generation Z don’t like to listen to no body. They are very disrespectful and think they know everything
Sadly this is going on in every community. The kids are so entitled and disrespectful
Parents truly have set a whole lot of children back over these last 3 decades just with not able to keep the family together alone, no life insurance policies etc. But with that said, when you're 30 and don't know how to cook food, that's not parents failing anymore. That's you not having the urgency, awareness, and motivation enough to take the time to learn the things you need. Apply that to other areas
That's why children should stay in their place just plain dumb
I understand what’s she saying, it’s A LOT harder for black ppl but some definitely failed to set up a PATH for their children.
Many parents expect schooling to be enough to get their kids where they need to go but teachers don’t really care about your kids, especially blk children.
Like it or not many other communities have a plan and PATH when they have their kids but for us it’s not like that.
All Facts the Black Community Depends So heavily and solely on The Public School System with Predominantly White Teachers to teach our Kids, SMH.
I see both sides of the argument...a lot of parents did fail their children....I see it all around me in the hood...I am being honest...
I think the older generations are a little too stubborn to acknowledge mistakes. My parents definitely failed at a lot of stuff, I didn’t expect perfection, but even basic things I’d see other parents do they didn’t do at all. The Gen X generation doesn’t acknowledge mistakes made on their part and I honestly don’t expect them to. I honestly think a majority of them still the world isn’t as different as it really is now. I’ve met Gen Xers that still think you can buy a weeks worth of groceries for 130 bucks 🤦🏾♂️. Like an average grocery in 2024 with the way the economy is right now, you barely buy 15 items for 120 bucks unless you go to a mini mart or some gas station. Like there are certain things that they don’t realized has changed. They want to act like every single parent in their generation were perfect parents when that’s the furthest from the truth. I honestly empathize with what she said.
She’s right. You’re making excuses
Let Me Find Out That's Her Mama's Car She Sittin' In Talkin' Crap!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She’s not completely wrong and some of the things that she talks about are things that we do need to converse about in the Black community.
The biggest thing with financial literacy is that a lot of our parents taught us what they knew and also what was successful for their time. As an example, it made sense to stay at one job until retirement because the job would give you a pension until you died. Now, it’s all about the 401k and whatever you contribute is what you have when you retire. A lot of the financial literacy, we’ll have to learn on our own.
Of course, a lot of us (not me personally) were raised in poverty as a result of the decision(s) that our parents made and that has caused generational trauma that should be discussed.
Exactly.
She’s not completely wrong! A lot of people are purposely not teaching their kids because they struggled and want their kids to struggle to prove a point. They won’t teach birth control or safe sex but will make them bring home babies because they did. Parents would rather defend themselves instead of saying you know what “I COULD’VE DONE BETTER”! But instead they tell you how tough they had it. My daughters will get every drop of my knowledge and I’ll leave them with wealth not another generation of weakness hand 🫳🏽🎤
This girl is beginning to break through the matrix of lies. She has hate now after she sees what her true options are in America.
This channel really inspired me to move out on my own last month 21 with no kids
You got this 🙏🏾
Sounds like she has some personal issues with her parents. There was a lot❤of things I wish my parents would have told me, but they didn’t know. They was too busy making sure I had food on the table and roof over my head, and I appreciate that!
She sounds abused and neglected
and thats why your credit is bad and you are struggling to survive.
Exactly. She forgets that she's alive and healthy enough to complain because her parents succeeded at giving her life with any physical or other disabilities and she apparently wasn't homeless
Thank you mom for letting me live rent free at home, while I get my degree in cyber security 🥰
Uncle Phil mad she talking bout his people 🤣🤣🤣
My mom didn't teach me crap not even the basics and didn't even provide the basics the government did. I hate to say it but if wasn't for the government many black children would've starve to death.
I agree older folks never wanna admit they fucked up not all but most and I'm 32 especially in the black community and when you go out and make it they hate on you for doing better like wtf yall should be proud not mad at your children for doing better than you and not blaming just observe and I see that a lot
They’ll Never Admit It.
Phil Isn’t Telling The Whole Truth.
@@One_of_Many750 He defintely not that woman in the video was right and phil got defenvise only speaking on him when he not the majority of what we were taught just like what I said when you go out and make it the old folks be mad cause you not trying to follow what the last 4 or 5 generations did instead of being proud majority hate and then want u to take care of them...just because they didn't have the tech they still had books they chose not to read or even open their minds to a better life for us by teaching themselves no excuse...Remember Black Wallstreet before Phil's time so again no excuse.
Stop
@@djdigital3806
Stop What?
Telling The Truth?
The Delusions Are Strong With The Young….Lol😏😏😏
Like I said before.. if they parents are stupid.. the kids gonna be stupid not by their choice but sometimes kids come out better
Left my parents house when I was 16. Yes, 16 years-old.
If you would like me to give you a tutorial on how to survive on white rice and butter, drop me an e-mail.
How about a sardines on sale with the different flavor sauces? Louisiana hot sauce, mustard, tomato. I got you.
I am reason why they moved the condiment packets behind the counter, because I would grab a whole bunch to mix with my white rice. Ever tried white rice with sweet and sour sauce? Delicious.
I paid my dues. Now I am sitting pretty at the age of 34 in a 5000 square foot house that is paid off. Got a master degree in electronic engineering and paid off my student loans utilizing my white rice and sardine culinary expertise.
When you are broke as a joke and you do not want to do anything illegal because people are expecting you to fail anyway, you figure out how to put it together.
So just because your parents didn't teach you how to live then that means that other kids shouldn't have there parents teach them how to live?
Yep. In this world, there are leaders and followers. Followers complain. Leaders forge new paths for the complainers to follow.
Psa! None of our parents knew then, what we know today.
She a perfect candidate for an interview Phil. She making valid points. I'm in the generation of kids she talking. Parents most definitely asking for bill money.
Generation X Did a lot of partying,
Didn't really Have set asides to give Their kids a Head start,
Allowed the Crack Epidemic to Hit them Detrimentally HARD!! To the point it Produced Crack Babies and Spiked Murder rates Drastically
A Lot of the Baby Boomer Grandparents had to help raised a lot Generation X's Children,
Gang culture took off with Generation X,
Single Motherhood Spiked with Generation X,
A lot of Millennials Did Get Jobs at 16 Years old to help Generation X single parent Households With bills.
My Peer Group which is 80's Millennials is the Bridge that Seen and can relate evenly with Both sides.
We, 80's Millennials were Raised by Baby Boomers and Generation X and were also the beginning of the Digital revolution Just before 90's Millennials and Gen Z So I know a little something. This Young Lady Has quite a few points, lets keep it a buck 🤷🏾♂️
Exactly.
My parents made me do chores and I better had done them right or hell to pay! They taught me nothing about finances but I went college, have a career, car, and own my own home! I don’t blame them for any struggles I went through and grateful for the chores I did so that I can maintain my home 🙏🏾
Didn't leave any inheritance for their kids either. But they definitely have kids all over the place.
The biggest mistake is when they took away butt whoopings!!
Exactly! I remember when they created that time out crap and making ways for these kids to call the cops on their own parents if they even raise their voice at them....pathetic
True
No accountability 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
She's not COMPLETELY wrong. Parents don't always have all the tools, and many children just have to figure things out, regardless of how well intentioned parents may be. Live and learn.
I wonder if she listened when her parents were attempting to teach her. I saw many people like her in the military. They thought they knew everything and they just wouldn't listen. I let the reality of life hit them in the face. After a while, the smart ones would come around. The dunderheads continued to have a difficult time. You need three things to complete a transfer of knowledge. The teacher, the student, and lesson plan. In order for the lesson to be effective, both the student and teacher have to be motivated throughout the process.
Yes she is wrong and childish
She’s talking about her parents and her parents only. She has been burned by her own situation, so not everyone is guilty.
Naw she is absolutely wrong. They didn't have the access to what we have today to know what we know
The worse part is the parents always working. The real teachers of your child is supposed to be YOU! But when you work all the time, what can you do!
You are spot on 💯 on this one Unc. I'm not a parent but I understand. Thank you for setting this younger lazy Gen straight!
I asked my daughter if life was as easy as she thought it would be, after moving out with her boyfriend. she said no it can rough sometimes.
she was hardheaded and didn't want any advice. or follow the rules of the house. i would get smart remarks like, "you always got something say", or "why you always judging?"
Sounds like her folks didn’t explain the why’s of things… she seems to have had a ‘what I say’ parents
Her parents must be proud
She’s lucky she had parents. My parents literally taught me nothing! My grandparents raised me & taught me some things, but when it comes to money all they said was save & always have your own. But I do agree about the paying bills part. My mom made me pay HER bills until I finally got a backbone & said no. But most of my life experiences came from the military. But I got put out at 19 cause my mom had a new man but my brother stayed until his 20s.
Why did you want to stay at your parents house past 18 years old?
"Save and always have your own." That's the foundation right there. My grandfather said you're nothing if you don't own your own land. Simple but true.
@@Fillmore.Pockets I didn’t but I hated how my mom chose men over me especially when she didn’t raise me but expected me to pay all HER bills, but my brother could stay as long as he wanted. Also I never lived with my dad.
@@Brothapocalypse grandfather was right.
She got sum points
@11:30 she not lying and for Phil to say some BS about being jealous of our own kids!!! Further let's me know he's doing the exact same thing to his kids!!! Where's the accountability for these parents PHIL!!!
Nah she's right a little bit most of our baby boomer grandparents own their homes most of our gen x parents rented
She is speaking facts,
Here is where Accountability comes in to play. You can teach em everything but they do the exact opposite. Also some folks need to take some initiative to better themselves. You can lead em, but you Can’t make em drink the water 🤷🏾♀️
Ya parents are quick to give up on children my mom put many of her boyfriends before me she abused me ny family said you better not disrespect your mom I hate her my dad saved me
@@darnellwilliams8783 I understand when nothing was given, do you actually understand that before slavery, Black people were initially wealthy and owned gold and silver in Ghana? When white Europeans colonized and destroyed Ghana by taking away its resources. Ghanians became poor and desperate because poor white Europeans destroyed that country. 500 years later, white people are wealthy not because they worked hard, but they did it through economic sabotage and lynching. I am not saying that people should not work hard, but what I am saying is that conditions have changed in the last 40 years due to bad policy decisions from corporate America, the U.S. government, police, etc. Working hard is good, but it is not sufficient to get ahead. It is about working smart and navigating the unexpected. By the way, you should know about your American history.
My question is: How long can one continue to blame others for their shortcomings without being self accountable? In their 50s? 60s? 80s? This ish is pathetic. I didn't grow up in the best household either, but when you're an adult and out of that environment, you have to pull yourself out of that mud at some point and take responsibility over your OWN life....not continue to blame others
@@PhoenixRain01010 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@@PhoenixRain01010 right
I would like to ask this young lady how many times did she ask her parents about these questions that she needed answered. I'll bet she's never asked them anything!
I think that’s why she frustrated… As a kid you don’t care about being an adult, you just wanna do kid stuff. But any decent parent is gonna sprinkle bits of wisdom, or find a way to teach their child some useful information that will stick with them. But like a lot of kids in the hood I’m guessing her parent was too busy, probably being a single parent.
Like usual Phil didn't hear anything she said.
She not lying about parents asking their kids to help pay bills.
RIght
Maybe your parents
It is harder for younger ppl to buy their own home these days. That's all I will say
I agree with the young girl! Gen X is the most immature generation! Want to stay & act young, dont wanna grow up! I'm a Gen X. Didn't teach this generation any black pride, no knowledge of self! No black history. We never recovered from the Crack Era!
Sounds like they are soft as hell!
I can understand what she is saying. Our grandparents tried their best to set up generational wealth but our parents kind of wasted it, they ended up passing nothing down to us or let their spouses take it away. On the other hand millennials have the best mindset and they’re tough, honestly they are built different, especially considering they had to raise themselves. The kids today rely too much on technology and someone else doing things for them.
What you said last is very true. I left my parents house at 18, mine stayed at home until 27 because as a divorced Dad, I had to reprogram her. Today, she is married with a house.
Naw she got a point
She's right and Phil is wrong.
