Let’s discuss a topic that is needed in the black community. Why do so many black families push their kids put the house at age 18? There is a deep “tradition” parents pushing their kids out the house once they graduate high school. I’m very lost as to why this happens. Where does it come from? So many other races guide and ease their children out the house. Allowing them to attain the skills necessary to survive on their own in the real world.

Somehow we as people tend to think if you give your kid mostly what they want and all of what they need, then sending they ass packing out the door once they 18. Where the fuck did this come from? What historical context do we have for something like this? I tend to think that if you gradually go about building independce for your kids and giving them the tools they need to be successful, when they leave the house they’ll be more successful.

It’s almost as if the parents seem to forget that we never asked to be here. It was also not our decision to be spoiled by y’all, for those that are. All we did was learn and grow as we were taught to do. It will never be something that can be explained because the reality is the shit makes no sense whatsoever. What is the thought process behind this type of love? Not all tough love is necessary and certainly not effective if you don’t correctly prepare the kid for the world they’re about to embark on.
