What it's like to be poor in Baltimore.

Great article. For anyone on here who like to fake this lifestyle, please read this man's account of his daily life and understand what you are willingly trying to emulate.

Nobody wants to be this.

interesting. the idea of information being class-based. never thought about it like that. seems legit.

interesting article, good read.

sounds like a normal trap spot....

and idk about the "nobody wants to be this" line

I mean, sure. its cool to be a fake rich person like you who reneges on bets and takes honeymoons in Tahiti

but some ppl rather just chill everyday with no responsibilities.

nickle and dime, pay for a fix, drink a beer and chill

not everybody wants to be a doctor

Get the fuck out of this thread with that bullshit.

God I would love for you to talk that ignorant shit in person.

Fucking internet.

Fuck....

Seems like he could prolly find sufficient work based on his degrees and experience.

Shock article.

I take it you don't know many adjuncts.

Smh


This is normal shit sadly

Wtf lol

This subject is closer to eddies heart than ur own I imagine



It's laughable to see u white night it

And I'm not here trolling or trying to argue


But what could u possibly know about the lifestyle described in the article bro?

Hes also a published writer apparently.

And he has 3 degrees....


Hes not pidgeon holed into being an adjunct .....


He likes being poor.

Fuck him.

Lol at coat hanger abortion tho


Author obv lying

Worddd

At that point i was like......wow....this dude really will just say anything....

You grow up eating bread and ketchup sandwiches, hush?

Here's where I grew up:

Kannon from PR can vouch for it.

My mom still lives there.

Fuck you.

Aye but....that house looking cosy as fuck. Like a little igloo.

lmao it sucked ass growing up i couldnt really have more than like 3 people over at a time there was literally no room

shit was built in 1902

Is that where the infamous couch resides?

It looks like one of those houses from that movie 'the town'.

You from Boston?

lol no

nj

WELL THEN, carry on.

That's basically a yes.

That's a suburb diode

U grew upon a private house

If ya mom ain't cook dinner I'm sorry



But u can't relate to the black mans struggle

I hope ur trolling

lol @ this fucking guy

half the projects i been to had more space than that house

fuck yourself, huth

you ain't about that life and nobody should be proud of being about that life

hence the article

if you're on this site, you're a fake trying to talk about the black man's struggle

especially if you're eddie, i got pictures of his mom's house and suburb

come on now

Bout what life? Growing up poor? Nah I'm not bout it

Side bar;
Why do you have pics of eddies moms house? Lol


So many questions


Like uh yea project apartments are big if you have mad kids...are u implying a big project apartment is better than a private house?


Do u want to seriously have this convo
Again I'm not trolling or try a argue



U just seem full of "it" on this one

i'm not full of anything. why would i create a thread showing the reality of being *real* poor and fake that life? i was never at that point, but i know for a fact i was closer to it than eddie's ever been - which is the argument you made. and i have dudes from these stupid rap text forums that can even vouch for it. so i mean..

your argument is dumb and anyone pretending they lived the life in the article is full of it.

not like u would do anything besides have an over emotional roid rage if he did...so what's ur point?

Well Eddie is black and portrays a super coon life style on this site


I was never trying to attack you for no reason


2 paragraphs in the article sounds like plenty of ppl in my neighborhood today

on top of your parkinson's hasidic stutter rap skills you claim to be a grappling expert

so please be at naga in charlotte in june

open weight sound good? i don't think i could cut down to your 135 soaking with vakill's sweat weight.

gi or no gi?

cool. cool cool cool.

Is laurance harbor???? N is that a gsr teggy

yeah i am going to defend myself when it comes to that faggot though

all good

nah. head north about 5 minutes from rutgers.

and yeah that was my old geezer.. got stripped by the mexicans like 6 months after that

i trained for actual fighting, not contact sparring with rules in gi's designed to give u something to grab onto...not to mention i much prefer stand up, as i'd rather just knock someone out instead of aggressively cuddling them...a throat shot follow by a knee to the hernia region is a much more effective method of disabling someone, but who cares...

besides, i weigh 155, so it probably wouldn't be as hard to slim down as u think...that said, if i were into hugging other grown men while covered in sweat just to say i earned a couple points on a tally card, i'm confident i wouldn't have much difficulty in choking u out, or at the very least making u tap, but that's neither here nor there, is it...

fact remains, u wouldn't do shit to eddie if he were there in person...so i'm not sure what the whole "omg detour lets manhug each other in front of a bunch of people" thing has to do with that...ur a privileged white guido with an addiction to HGH an a serious attitude problem that only surfaces on the net due to ur fear of real life confrontation...

tl;dr

what i saw was:

"he-rr-t-llo i-i-i-i-i-i- don't kn-n-n-n-now wha-a-a-at i,i, i, i, .. am talk-k-k-king a.. a.. a.. b-bout"

you are scared. it's cool.

we can do a free expo at charleston mma over here instead. full octagon. since grappling isn't your thing (after you claimed to have 45 years of training).

how is that?

better yet, how about you prove you have any training or experience with anything besides stephen hawking's text to speech translator?

lol'd @ allen tag

prob

Cant we all just agree the guy who wrote this is an asshole?


Lol@it looked like a scene from the wire.....GREAT JOB
