Fburgtx's 7-point plan for being successful in America.
1) Avoid drugs/alcohol
2) Don't get pregnant
3) Don't GET someone pregnant
4) Get an education/skill
5) Get a career/work hard/do it well
6) THEN get married
7) THEN get pregnant/get spouse pregnant
If people would simply follow those 7 steps, in THAT EXACT ORDER, folks would be amazed how many problems they'd avoid. Learning those 7 steps, and following them, ought to be a high school course.
Instead, we've got a bunch of drug addicted, baby daddy's, single mothers, lazy, no skills folks, and we blame racism/government/etc.
John Lewis has managed to make a career out of blaming racism/govt, when the majority of that problem was fixed 40-50 years ago.
