  1. Book smarts without a lick of street smarts or common sense. Smh.
    101
  2. Damn. Is there a therapist or grief counselor watching who can reach out to Steven?
    37
  3. I felt REALLY uncomfortable watching this...😖
    25
  4. Yes, you took the time to watch the ENTIRE clip AND comment ALL because you DON'T care...makes perfect sense now.

  5. No. We'd STILL say she was a fraud because she never had the money and scammed to get it.
    16
  6. That's what I was tryna figure out. He should have AT LEAST 12 months saved up.
    14
  7. What should lizzo be apologizing for? 👀
    12
  8. Those 3 people clearly did not believe their lives had value and it shows it shows in their actions.

  9. The average 19 year old actually is uninformed so Idc that he feels that way, I care that he had the audacity to be that rude and arrogant.

  10. Believe it or not, there are people with 3 degrees who are still struggling or are only a few paychecks away from panic. (The pandemic taught me that.)

  11. Right. Nail shops? Beauty shops and barbershops?? You notice how they didn't reopen the unemployment office though? 😕

  12. I attended a Black college. I studied amongst Chinese, Koreans, Nigerians, Brazilians, Bahamians, Russians, etc. Which Black college doesn't give opportunities to other minorities, Tony? 👀

  13. What if the parent knows the kid can't get the job without their help? Idk if it's because I've just gotten old, lol, (Millennial), but it seems like Gen Z maybe doesn't have some of the same critical thinking, problem solving, and interpersonal skills that we had. Eg: Gen Z is the loneliest and most friendless generation ever. Back in my day, it was social suicide to not have anyone to sit with in the lunchroom, so I was FORCED to come out of my introverted shell and interact.

  14. Imagine working a job where your bonus is $118k. 😳

  15.  @Altamirana713  1. "Whats wrong with making money?" What's wrong with it is that she portrayed herself one way then accepted opportunities designed for the people she portrayed herself to be. When making money means manipulating people then there is something wrong with making money. 2. "...Black should take charge of their lives..." Black women have one of the highest rate of small business ownership in the U.S. Black men are increasingingly flooding demanding fields particularly STEM fields at an amazing rate compared to previous decades. You did NOT do your research before coming to YouTube to comment, but luckily for you I know my shit and can school you. 😉 3. "She worked hard and realized that really dark skin worked for her and monetized it." No, she didn't work hard, she dumped bronzer all over herself. What's wrong with that is exactly what minstrel show actors and creators said...🙄 📣Our skin is not something to be monetized... 4. "Stop playing victim and make some damn money." Pointing out someone's wrongdoing isn't playing victim any more than sitting on YouTube "complaining" about Black people is playing victim. Black people make money every day as I pointed out to you in Argument 2. Remember, you say here ranting about what you THINK to be true about Black, yet you've made $0.00 off of it. 🐸☕ 5. "I don't see Beyonce..." Both Beyonce AND Jay-Z discuss race relations ALL of the time. Once again, you didn't do your research before commenting.

  16. The mom said she knew about it but didn't do anything because she didn't want to mess up the family's image, sooo...
    6
  17. NOT true 😂 Where you work in any profession depends heavily on where you went.
    5
  18. Tbf, public speaking is the most common fear in society across all generations. The newer generation has fewer social skills and social interactions than prev. generations. Perhaps suggest Toastmasters and peer networking events?

  19. This woman never met Lizzo...🤡

  20. As they shouldn't. It's YOUR job to care about you.

  21. Exactly. Even a floral studio space would work.

  22. They are clearly not that happy. They don't value themselves, their lives, their children, their parents, nor their future. People who love themselves, like their lives, and care about their family and friends don't do things like this.

  23. They killed that little girl. The interview never mentioned that Jon Benet had a bedwetting problem and Patsy would spank her for it. She easily could've beaten her to desthbin a fit of rage.

  24. Right! Lmaooooo

  25. ​ @les0101s  Quite a few college professors and teachers have said these kinds of stories are true.

  26. ​@melovetorun 🤡🤡🤡 The laws date back to the 1700s and 1800s when westward expansion was prominent. This has nothing to do with liberal vs conservative. It has to do with outdated laws.

  27. It's 100% their own fault, NOT partially. They weren't buying a bottle of pain killers from the local Walgreens.

  28. Only a 12 year old would have a cartoon character as their profile picture.

  35. This makes no sense. She's already IN college. She's speaking about new waves of applicants. 🤡

  36. Devastating, indeed! Imagine risking life and limb fleeing to another country, busting your ass to get your kid into an Ivy League school, all for them to decide to become a junkie and throw away all of your hard work and efforts. Tragic.

  37. Clarence Thomas benefited from AA and he is on the Supreme Court. You aren't. How has AA held him back? 🫤

  40. ​ @nothankyou0  If drinks are illegal and you know there is a possibility yours could be spiked, yet you're buying one anyway from a nefarious bartender without a moral compass, then yes, you should be blamed.
    2
  41. So Clarence Thomas BENEFIT from AA, yet voted against it?!? God is petty for taking Mrs. RBG and leaving us with Clarence "Uncle Ruckus" Thomas. 🙄
    2
  42. ​ @meaty8887 Yes. It needed to have been made out of Titanium or Steel but that would taken much longer and cost significantly more.
    2
  43. Agreed. We need more Black and Hispanic swimmers, gymnasts, and bowlers.
    2
  44. Press-ons are incredibly cheap and if you know how to apply them, they will look just like you got your nails done. I know this from experience. You can buy an iPhone 2nd hand rather than at retail price which costs significantly less. I know this from experience. While having cable isn't a basic necessity, living without it isn't going to make their rent more affordable.

  45. It's out of our tax bracket. 🥴

  46. Can't wait to see his story on Netflix in 6 years.

  48. None of this explained how to Titan imploded.

  49. Many economically disenfranchised groups belong to particular races...

  51. The businesses served their purpose. They are no longer needed now. Its time to let them go. 🙄

  52. So start your own universities like Black people did (HBCUs) 🤷🏿‍♀️

  53. The drug dealer is DEFINITELY at fault, he's just not the only one in this situation at fault. (The users are too.)

  54. "Looser" or "loser" ? 🤔 Something tells me you will never have to worry about college admissions...

  65. Except most Asians aren't actually trying to go to the NBA

  66. ​ @tabularasa7775  There's no such thing as a recreational user. A user is a user. The were sold something that shouldn't have been in cocaine that they shouldn't have been in consuming because they weren't supposed to be buying cocaine in the first place. All 3 of these people proved to have enough sense to know that taking an illegal substance is a gamble every time, yet they happily rolled the dice.
    1
  67. ​ @Dog-bb8hr  We DO have empathy. Imagine the millions of people suffering from situations beyond their direct realm of control who get little to no media coverage, yet the media chooses to cover 3 junkies who knew what they were doing. Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers go out to those millions of people.
    1
  68. Right! Shit's WILD! They're acting like they just went to Target for a bottle of Advil that just so happened to be coated with fentanyl. Like, no. These people were bound to suffer some harrowing consequence at some point because of their own decisions.
    1
  69. Who does drugs in the first place? 🤔

  70. Because you must prove the squatter broke into the house.

  71. 😬Unpopular Opinion: Many of these farms' business model is based on artificial demand. Many of these farms NEED to go belly up. If the U.S. had to create a customer (USAID programs) for these farms to sell to, and that customer must then donate those goods to someone else, then that tells us that these farms were never necessary to begin with. Supply is far outweighing demand. Let the farms go bankrupt.

  72. ​ @gabby6467  YES it IS your fault if that food item is unregulated and illegal, and you bought it from some random off the street who isn't known for obeying the law or having a moral compass...🤦
    1
  73. ​ @MH-et5sn  When you decide to purchase an unregulated, illegal substance, what you WANT to purchase goes out the window. What they DECIDED to purchase was whatever mystery bag of poison the dealer had, which is EXACTLY what they got. 😂

  74. Work against other Asians? 😂 Just say you didn't qualify.

  76. What would the brother's motice have been?

  77. According to him, they don't.

  78. You shouldn't need a test kit because you shouldn't be buying cocaine. If you have enough cognitive functionality to test cocaine for fentanyl, then you have enough cognitive functionality to seek help.

  79. Are they supposed to ask a person which political party they vote for when they apply to college? 🙄

  80. I'm more shocked that there was a Black guy involved...😬

  82. White women benefit the most from AA and legacy students tend to be guaranteed admission, so if anything take gender off the application and name off the application.
    1
  83. ​​ @Tracy-m3n  Basic economics: When demand is high and supply is low, prices increase. When that supply increases, prices decrease. Them leaving will increase supply, thus helping with housing prices.

  84. Why was the gun even left loaded? I highly doubt the 6 yo loaded ir himself.b

  85. White women benefit THE MOST from AA, so yeah, they SHOULD all be ashamed of themselves.

  86. ​@ronandelana That's silly. Every quality education program teaches some form of world civics, world geography, etc class so to say she can't speak on another country's policies because she doesn't live in that country goes against what higher education even stands for. 🤡
    1
  87. ​ @ronandelana Your commentary brings no value to this matter yet YOU STILL seem to believe you have the right to speak on it.
    1
  88. This isn't about "feeling guilty" this is about public health, public safety, and civil liberties issues. 🤡 If there is no sanitation collection or running water or electricity under the bridge, then SURELY you must know that diseases will break out and spread. Nearly every developed housing complex in America is documented and regulated in some way. You cant regulate a homeless encampment under a bridge. IF someone does re-offend in this area, how will they figure out who it is? There are countless other issues that come along with this issue that would take forever to discuss.

  89. The same person who gave you the right to comment on YouTube videos.

  90. This has 0% to do with anything.
    1
  91. ​ @KylaMedina  These people were professionals and Ivy League grads. Common sense tells you that anything you buy that is unregulated and illegal, can be laced with anything. Hell, it could've had horse tranquilizers in it. Drugs are ALWAYS a gamble 100% of the time. They knew this and decided to roll the dice anyway. 😂🤡💀
    1
  92. Stay mad. 😂
    1
  93. ​ @Timothee_Chalamet_CMBYN Many people from the Philippines actually are Hispanic. It sounds like the school simply had no interest in the Korean girl. They didn't want her.
    1
  94. If she lost her admission into Harvard, chances are it'd be to a legacy student.
    1
  95. AA benefits White women the most. We DEFINITELY need to do away with it.
    1
  96. ​ @likeakloss  Here's an EVEN BETTER analogy: If drinks were ILLEGAL and you KNOW it isn't uncommon for drinks to be lethally spiked, yet you STILL decide to play Russian Roulette with a drink and buy one off of a bartender whom you know does not have a moral compass and does not obey the law, should you be blamed for putting your life in that nefarious bartender's hands and trusting an unregulated drink? The answer is overwhelmingly, yes, EVERY time.
    1
  97. ​ @user-qx9wv3xf6u  Right! The issue was THEM. Cocaine being on the same planet as them does not mean they are required to take it.

  110. Wait, so the dealer didn't FORCE the drugs on them; THEY requested the poison?🤨 Moral of the Story: Don't be a junkie.🤷
    1
  111. Update: her momma killed her and her daddy looked the other way while it happened.
    1
  112. ​​ @gabby6467  It's a common sense problem, NOT a poisoning problem. 🙄 Anything that you buy, ilegally and unregulated can (and likely will) be harmful. As Ivy League grads they knew the risks, they just didn't care. Let's not act like they went to the pharmacy for Tylenol and got fentanyl coated pain killers. Educate yourself.

  118. 🥴Definitely a FAFO moment here. Sad because Asheville is usually the blue spot across a red state.

  119. They're not recovering a whole body. They're recovering bits and pieces.
    1
  120. ​ @kevinmanan1304  Either way, it's a false market. The U.S. created a customer (USAID) so farmers would have someone to sell to and that customer then donates the food to someone else. There's more supply than necessary and the demand was artificially created. Let the farmers go belly up.
    1
  121. You sound bitter because you didn't get in. Just sayin
    1
  122. Right! I didn't even realize social work paid that well. 😮

  123. The 80s already showed up what kind of coverage Keisha or Raheem would get.

  124. So what you're saying is that every Black student in America gets the same amount of funding that every White student gets? 👀
    1
  125. If junkies really cared about their own lives, they wouldn't do drugs so this wouldn't happen anymore.
    1
  126. Alcohol is a regulated industry. Most alcohol related deaths aren't because the alcohol just happens to be laced, it's because the drinker is an idiot. Coke and fentanyl aren't regulated.
    1
  127. White women were carried by AA; they benefit from it the most.

  128. LatinX makes sense because people can be LatinO or LatinA. AsianX wouldn't make sense because it isn't a gendered word.

  130. ​ @KylaMedina  It wasn't air either. Let's not act like she thought she was buying Aleve from CVS and somehow magically ended up coked out. She was a junkie engaging in junkie behaviors and met an inevitable junkie end.

  133. I don't think they should be allowed to stay in the U.S. How many other countries did they have to pass to get to the U.S. and why wasn't one of those countries an option for them? 🤔
    1
  134. ​@slomoy2k No. There won't. Overall societal views have changed. People no longer stay in miserable, unfair, or adulterous marriages out of fear.
    1
  135. ​@blue tacos So arrest him and let him have his day in court. We can't justify police brutality just because we don't like the recipient of the abuse because the same cop who is allowed to get away with this will feel emboldened to get away with it again.

  148. It's not, I fear. I JUST found out that, outside of social media, my Gen Z cousin doesn't know how to do anything technical on a computer. She memorizes menus ahead of time to avoid the social anxiety of having to interact with at a restaurant. If you send her to ask for something at the Concierge or Front Desk, she will mumble inaudibly under her breath to where the staff doesn't even notice she's talking, then say that she completed the task. I thought it was just her until I realized this isn't uncommon amongst today's teens. 😒

  165. 😂Not at all. If the U.S. had to create a customer (USAID programs) for these farms to sell to, and that customer must then donate those goods to someone else, then that tells us that these farms were never necessary to begin with. Supply is far outweighed demand.

  175. Is a 9 year old strong enough to carry out that degree of blunt force trauma then strangle a child then tie her up?
    1
  176. ​ @user-qx9wv3xf6u  The issue is that junkies don't value their lives and their parents don't want to place accountability where it belongs. They knew their poison was unregulated BEFORE they consumed it. If they wouldn't eat an unwrapped sandwich from some random off the street why would they consume drugs from them? How are they shocked that their dealer of illegal substances turns out to be a bad guy?
