From G's To Gents

Yeah, this was just a show on MTV... but it was a good show. Well at least the last 4 episodes were. I mean seriously. I think it showed some serious issues that happen within the black community (yeah I know there were others on the show, but thats not what im talking about).

Especially Creepa. OK I'm not trying to have a defamation suit on my hands or anything of the like...but it was obvious to be that Creepa's mom had some "issues". Imm say issues, but we all know what was good with her. Anyway, so dudes dad was killed when he was young, so Creepa had to be the "man of the house". Now this happens in a lot of single mother/lower income households. The eldest boy is expected to take the roll of the father and fulfil everything that the father is supposed to do. The mom tells the boy, you need to step up and do what you need to do to take care of your family....

So OK, you have like a 12 year old boy, that doesnt even have an 8th grade education yet. What can he possibly do to take care of his family...run the streets. The mom doesnt care that her son is out there with the filth and grime of life... she is concerned that she gets money to "feed the family". It's just sooooo sad. Dude was in HVAC school and he had to cash in his financial aid because he was supporing 8 people yo! Come on now.

I wonder how much of that 100,000 he gave to his mom?
