QuoteWell here's where you're wrong.

I never said she had a "dream" to be homeless. She CHOSE to be sleeping on a train instead of getting proper help. It's what she chose to do. Yes, she should have never been set on fire, but there are dangers of doing it like being murdered in your damn sleep.

SHE MADE DECISIONS.

I Made decisions to go to school, get myself into a great career, buy a house and live a healthy lifestyle. I COULD have chose to not finish school, get involved in drugs, make drugs a priority, sleep on trains and not get help.

Decisions. She chose. It was sad, but she chose it.
This is such an ugly way to center yourself. I find that most people fall into 3 categories:  they were raised with fully supportive families that did their best to nurture them to be self-sustaing adults, they have families that didn't care much BUT gave them the autonomy to make their own decisions, or they have some form of severe trauma as children that they've been forced to navigate on their own.

You can't brag about what you've accomplished without also including the story of how you got there. The starting line is different for everyone, and if you don't know her story, you should show her some grace. The most accomplished people typically have very supportive families (i.e. Sonya and Brandy). There are hundreds of "Brandys" who were born to unsupportive parents. And no, Brandy would NOT be Brandy if she had grown up in a traumatic family that refused to recognize her talents.

It's not. This is like telling Black people that they choose to live in the "hood", they choose to be behind in education or choose to not

Responsibility.

One easy word. At 57 years old, I will HOPE we aren't blaming mommy and daddy for allowing their child to make bad choices. This is when we take responsibility and grab hold of our lives.

Responsibility.

I love a good rags to riches story also. We love to see someone work from nothing to having a thriving life. Someone who worked hard to overcome their obstacles.

Responsibility.

Project started: 2014
Wrapped up: 2024

Significant Discovery: First known Black American family of Kalmyk descent

Takeaways: Be prepared to pivot, even when you think you're on the right track. Be OK with being wrong so you can get things right.

Kalmyks are tribal Mongolic people who settled in Russia. It's estimated to be only 300,000 Kalmyk descendants worldwide - with only 3,000 in America.

so anyway

any word on ment quee's justice? that tortilla chip needs to be SNAPPED.

It is. I've seen a lot of Black people who grow up affluent or upper middle class have these same types of views. They think that because their parents or even themselves have made it, they are so much better than people who are working through struggles they have never faced. People will choose to hate those who have real-life struggles rather than the capitalistic system that makes it hard for those people to get the help they need.

It has nothing to do about being "better" than someone else  :dead:

It's called "getting your shit together". There comes a time for it. Especially when you are 57 years old and you choose drugs over LIVING...

If y'all wanna support being a bum, go ahead. I won't.

you just exposed how you really feel about the woman who was burnt to death! You think she was a bum who valued drugs more than her life. You do realize addiction is a sickness btw right? Smh.

L0NZ.

How did this discourse start?

What would it matter if she were a billionaire or homeless?

Someone just killed a CEO.

I'm trying to figure out how her life choices come into question about someone randomly murdering her? Are we blaming her for her death or something?

For the slow ones in the back:

Life decisions come into play because you decided to sleep on trains instead of getting help. Help WAS available to them.  They decided to no longer take the help and CHOSE this life. Yes, CHOSE this life. Read into her backstory.

I nowhere said that it was acceptable to set someone ablaze :dead:

If any of you are not familiar with how to deal and cope with people who have addictions, you need to do some reading.

The thing is, this is null when people get killed while they're awake, people kill CEOs of companies, and people with jobs also fall asleep on public transit.

All 3 of those facts make what you're saying about her life choices irrelevant. She didn't get randomly killed because her life choices led her to being asleep on the train this particular day, in the presence of this particular guy.
