There are nice neighborhoods without HOAs. The key most of the time is that the tax rate is outrageous. In San Antonio they aren't necessarily trying to keep Mexicans out. There are lots of Mexican that can be just as racist as white people. They are specifically trying to keep black people...

Yes, the key is getting the message out. The message must be received by as many in our community as humanly possible. It can be done but the black community as a whole must be on code and be unwavering and non-compromising.

I only have a few years left. Mine is thinning a bit too. I've been able to put my knowledge to use to slow down and reverse some of the thinning but eventually genetics 🧬 is going to get the best of me. Enjoying it while it lasts in the meantime!

I've always viewed my hair as an extension of my cultural persona. I feel like me not having my hair is a lesser version of myself! Any other brothers in here rocking braids, locs, or cornrows?

Yeah if you get a Brad or Karen that has really decided that don't want you there they can pester you and even take you to court over minor infractions saddling you with legal costs. Most people in this situation end up being forced out of the house because of the inconvenience of having to...

It's pretty difficult in San Antonio too but not impossible. What's hard is finding a nice house with no HOA in a good neighborhood. We really had a hard time. We lucked out and found one in the best school district, less than 3 miles from my place of employment and in a very convenient area!

Yes. Honestly we need a bigger one though! Using a 32" Roku TV right now!

That's how they are. They sit there with nothing better to do with their life than to read through the HOA rules and then just find something to nag you about. Their hope is that they nag you so much that you just end up saying I can't deal with this anymore and move out. Since you are the one...

There are federal laws against discrimination in housing. They can't outright discriminate against you based on race. The HOA is simply a way around this. They can pester you based on nonsense rules. They can enforce rules on you and make you experience miserable. No matter what law that pass...

But you got a wife out of it. That's far more valuable.

I can understand that as I used to smoke a cigar here and there. I my change my ideology on it. Tobacco is a poison. A poison that is able to be sold legally. So I'm completely against tobacco in all forms.

I met my wife on a phone chat line and we've been together 17 years. 2 kids, bought 2 house together. She's been by my side through college and helped me with my resumés and preparing for interviews. Things were different back then though. On the phone lines you still have to have some kind of...

Trust and loyalty is very important. As a man I need to know that the woman I'm with is going to stand by my side of everything falls apart. One of the worst things I ever saw was a man work hard and did everything he could for his family. One day he got into a car accident and ended up...

Got a ways to go before that happens. There are a lot of rural towns that vote almost exclusively Republican. On top of that a lot of the Mexican immigrants that are coming in vote Republican also. Either that or they're smart enough to just not vote at all. A lot of the people that are moving...

I don't say anything about Brandon. I don't code my sh F*ck Joe Biden!

I absolutely agree with you here. Lots of times when we vote we only look as far as the election that we're voting in and don't think about long-term consequences of our voting decision. We have the tendency to vote out of fear and emotion All the Democrats have to do is chin up some issue...

#21. Avoid buying homes with an HOA because the HOA may have racist members and this will be a problem for the entirety of the time that you live in the home.

There is an abundance of videos on the internet that show Karen's and Brad's from HOAs and some people just pretending that they are from an HOA trespassing onto black people's property. They come on the property asking all kinds of questions, racially profiling, and threatening black people. I...

I'm married now so maybe things are different. But I'd say yeah, that's bull shit. When I was single I needed to bring that to the wedding ceremony. A mf can't demand sh*t of me unless she ready to bride up. Only thing anyone else gets was hard D and bubble gum!

I don't think it's about race. I'm in an interracial marriage myself with a beautiful Hispanic woman. Other than there being a few learning curves at the beginning like what types of season in the use on food is really not that different than being with anyone else. I think the bigger issue...
