There is a blog post by a lawyer about his experiences with urban poor black clients making the rounds every few months on Voat: http://www.thebirdman.org/Index/Others/Others-Doc-Blacks/+Doc-Blacks-Intelligence&Competence/TheTragicomedyOfLawyeringWithBlacks.htm
Maybe you meant that one.

This same shit happened on the reservation. Fancy people would come to help and folks would waste SO much of their time not being organized, not being honest, not being punctual or prompt. The abject poor will drive you fucking CRAZY.

Making deals with the wasichu. Perhaps better to have died on their feet. We'll never know. :)

What's up with ceddit? In less than 30 seconds trying to view the link my browser blocked more than 100 ads/trackers. And was unable to view the page, it was essentially blank save the sidebar etc.

This was on Brave. Could be false positives but I'm not sure. Just kept counting up quite rapidly.

Sounds like being the ‘computer guy’ amongst friends / family ; not only your time is not valued, but if you do fix something or give advice on some purchase or whatever, you now own the problem (i.e., will be blamed for anything happening thereafter and expected to keep fixing it) for ever... heard similar stories from the designated ‘car guy’ elsewhere...
[–] 1HepCat 1 point 2 points 3 points (+3|-1) ago
Yep. My wife, a nurse, is also frequently called on for free medical advice. Fortunately for her, it's usually accepted when she tells them to pay a doctor instead.
Lots of professionals e.g., auto mechanics, graphic designers, etc. have comparable problems.

I love my fucked up family. At least when I fix shit for them they either buy me beer or make me food, and they don't fucking blame me when their failure to maintain their (computer/car/house) causes future problems. They either pay someone to fix it or bribe me with more food/alcohol.
But fixing shit for other people? Pay up front, in cash/services, and I'll give you a receipt detailing other shit that's already wrong and likely to be wrong in the future.

I once - when I was young and naive - did some volunteering for the poor and downtrodden too; not legal advice but providing some tutoring for their kids homework (you know the poor bastards couldn’t speak the language and couldn’t help their own kids themselves and education is the key to their kids success and kumbaya and all that...)
never again, let the fuckers rot in their own filth and ignorance.
ps seriously, want to red pill some of your naive friends still tempted by sjw ideas? strongly encourage them to do such volunteer work for a while...they don’t even need to be shipped off to some third world hellhole anymore to achieve the same effect, now that third world shit ihas been forcibly shipped right at our doorstep

So what happened?

[–] HeavyBrain 0 points 16 points 16 points (+16|-0) ago
Nah, you actually did something aka put your money where your mouth is. (Also you showed tha ability to think by coming to a conclusion instead of keep going with propaganda no matter waht.)
The usual SJW is only there for the talking and would never actually do something.

Same thing happened to me many years ago. I volunteered and donated to an inner city charity type event. So I show up and they demand I do all this work, which is fine right, that's what I was there for. Except they watched and did nothing, note they were able and healthy bodies. The attitude was incredibly shocking. Very demeaning. It was eye opening. Then they asked me what time I would be in tomorrow. I only agreed to one day, but they pestered me with phone calls for months saying they needed help with office work.. Da fuck? Sad part was the other volunteers caved to the bullying LOL, I wonder how long they kept going.
Edit: And they did NOT look destitute, as they shuffled through donated toys for their kids complaining that most toys sucked.

Reminds me of this. https://kek.gg/i/pbHXM.png
It's a long read. It's a lawyer talking about working for...urban people... for years and what he learned.

Look at yo' empathy havin' honkey ass. Cracka.

As much as I hope some of this is made up or exaggerated it sadly sounds too believable.

This guy found why so many poor people are poor. They're just stupid.
[–] White-Supremacist 1 point 12 points 13 points (+13|-1) ago
Not entirely sure he actually came to that conclusion. Sounded a bit like he blamed their education or something.
[–] VinnZoat 0 points 8 points 8 points (+8|-0) ago (edited ago)
There are many people who are not below average with regards to IQ, but with no education, they appear to be stupid. Conversely, not-so-smart people can seem smarter when they are properly educated.
Although, in this case, I'm not so sure.
[–] 11396082? 0 points 5 points 5 points (+5|-0) ago
He came to the conclusion that they were doing it because society didn't cater to their needs enough. They just never had the opportunity to learn to be on time or do what was asked of them. So the stupid remain stupid.

Gee, its almost like illegal immigrants who come to this country, take advantage of everything our country has to offer, then at the end of the day, give a big fuck you to all the US citizens who work hard to provide the tax revenue that provides them with everything.
Its like its part of the reason why we want them deported.
[–] 11396146? 0 points 8 points 8 points (+8|-0) ago
I live in an area with a lot of Hispanics. Trust me, most illegal immigrants are assholes. I've already seen them doing petty things like sitting in handicap spots. There does seem to be fewer now a days though.

Not stupid as much as they refuse to do the things that would prevent them from being poor. Ultimately, it boils down to laziness. They literally don't want to do the difficult things it takes to make those lifestyle choices.
Change who you're around, you'll change what you do.
Change what you do, you'll get different things.
Change the things you get in life, take a different path to self betterment.
Take a different path to self betterment, connect with education and people and jobs.
This is why I tell people that literally anyone is capable of starting at the bottom and becoming upper class. I started out at the bottom, having to save for a month just to have enough change to do a single load of laundry at the laundromat. I'm now in the upper class and I technically have a learning disability. If I can do it, any of these retarded cocksucker can.
Yes, even you, meow_cow, ya fagot.

"Yes, even you, meow_cow, ya fagot." Nah, that's too much work. Besides you probably sell drugs anyway. : )
[–] 123_456 ago (edited ago)
It's an egg or chicken question.
Are they poor because they are stupid?
Or are they stupid because they're poor?
[–] 11454681? ago
No it isn't. Most poor people are at least kind of stupid. Since most poor people are fat it isn't an nutrition issue like most liberals claim (eating healthy isn't expensive).
