trifiling

You know we got some serious ills within the confines of our community. Case in point, I was told by a friend of mine about one of their friends. She is 25 and she just broke up with the father of her child. She didn’t work or have a car, but it seems as if she was provided for fairly well. As the story goes, after a major domestic dispute in which Dekalb County had to be called (and they shoot during domestic disputes and kill), she moved out into the apartment of another man.

It appears that all the while before domestic disputes, slim was creeping with Jones who she moved in with. Now Jones has an apartment but he too is car less as well as jobless like slim. Now through their mutual creeping and co-habituating, sexual relations were occurring. Come to find out now slim is pregnant again, with car less Jones.

Now this is not funny, albeit it may yield a slight simper or two. It is really more the ridiculousness of the situation and poor decision making than is comical. What is it about some of us to place ourselves into situation in which we use emotion as opposed to reason to operate on? Jones is obviously the rebound guy, and she likely knows that, but yet she boning condom less, without a commitment in the form of employment or engagement to the dude. Add to that what is any grown African American above the age of 18, not doing with a job or a way to sustain them, in particular if they have a child? But that what being trifling, young dumb and no income will get you.
