I know I’m late as hell on this but You’re killin me with “The Data Collector”! Man that is definitely a typically white move right there. I mean I’ve seen it for so many years, but I never put a name on it. And yes, they are real easy to spot, assuming you’re not the type of person who just loves talking about yourself. Those people don’t even have to know you’re name and they will ask you questions until you stop answering…then they will just make up their own answers!
I hate to play (blue-eyed) devil’s advocate here, but in all seriousness Black folks could learn from that characteristic. Our folks tend to find it offensive to “be all up in somebody’s business”. But there’s a difference between being in someone’s business and gathering useful knowledge. I guess the line between the two is pretty subjective.
Oh and another thing, you’re dead on point about dealing with haters. I don’t know why people can’t are just don’t want to realize the fact that you friends do not hate you, only enemies hate you. Therefore, once identified as an enemy get that piece of sh*t away from you NOW! It just kills me how people actually use the phrase “frienemy” (friend enemy). Folks, there’s no such thing! I was actually at my wife’s church and the pastor was giving a sermon about frienemies! I was sitting there like what the f*ck is this? All I could think was this is exactly why the Black community is all f*cked up and the reason I don’t go to church now.
I just don’t think we are comfortable with collecting data as its just sinister in nature. I used to tell Data Collectors all kinds of weird shit like I was into sailing so when people would come back and ask if I was into sailing I knew where it came from. Its best to just be quiet and proceed to move on if you are surrounded by devils. If you are in this situation and you can’t get out from under it it’s your fault and your fate.
I never understood why people tell you to keep them around anyway. I mean you don’t have to call them out but you can little by little limit your interaction with them. It’s against natural law for people to subject themselves to a situation that they find uncomfortable. This is why you can’t listen to people who are powerless because they are telling you how to survive in a game where they hope someone doesn’t notice them at all. What kind of Man lets that be his fate to not get noticed and make it to the top, instead of getting out of that life.
That stupid saying that if you don’t have any haters you aren’t doing enough is the reason why people are taking a weird angle towards it. If all these cats that don’t like you are unnecessary then why would you stay there and tolerate them. People are mixing up dealing with people in a corporate environment with what you have to deal with in regular life.
I cosign with you Freeman. To add to your list, you also have to watch out for people who come off as a friend but will try to take advantage of you with material & social life. I remember this guy trying to recruit me in this home business a while ago. He invited to a seminar where a speaker gave some information about this business. Afterwards, he invited me and some of his associates to his house to chill.
He seemed very cool. Me and some other guys played Halo 3 the videogame and went to his other associates’ house to play BlackJack. Basically, he (and the other people in this hustle) gave off the impression that you can work but also have fun. Now, the business to me seemed ok. I would need to invest money & time in order to be successful in it. However, the catch was that I would work for free.
In order to make a profit in this business, I needed to purchase a business license. I didn’t have to money to purchase it at the time. He understood that and offered to help me. Since I didn’t have a job or car, he said that he could drive me around and help me find one. Basically, his notion of the business was that teamwork is important in becoming successful. Which is true with this business. It’s basically a what people call a “pyramid” business where one guy profits more by having other people working under him.
However, with this person, he wanted me to work with him while I don’t have my license and I wouldn’t make a profit. I guess he expected me to work for free until I get my license. That was the problem I had with him. He was very positive and motivated and the business seemed good, but I felt like I was being used. I was so busy having fun laying Halo 3 and BlackJack with his friends, that I failed to realize that I was being used as a pawn in his hustle.
Whew! I got that out the way. Anyway, holla back at me FreeMan. I’m very interested on your take on the situation. Have I been hustled or am I overlooking something?
Welcome Stephen! Man I forgot about those cats because I was looking for a job and went to one of those ponzi schemes. I got invited me over to meet other cats and I didn’t want to go because I wanted to make money more than I wanted new friends. Cats were so friendly they got me thinking these cats were homosexuals and I got out.
Whenever cats tell you that you have to come out your own pockets to get put on then you know it ain’t right. I don’t know too many jobs that ask you to buy anything unless it’s work gloves or a gun if you’re a cop that they’ll reimburse you for.
A lot of people are CONning cats on that prove to me you are a good salesman crap angle. You got to watch out that your desperation to make chips don’t have you walking around knocking on doors telling people a sob story so they can buy some bum ass children’s books are BS magazines. They always try to get you to prove yourself before you can make chips and that only works when you are trying to join a fraternity.
Your developing your spidey senses in the Hustle because if it seems funny most likely someone is laughing at you behind closed doors. Go with what you know about money because no body we ever met had to pay to get put on. There are a lot of devils roaming out there and you got to shake them before they pimp you outside on the ho stroll late at night. They’ll have you selling BS to your own mama.
In fact I’ll give you one of the lines you hear when you know it’s a CON! “Start selling to your family first, your Uncle your mother your brother and then your friends and your neighbors” If anyone tells you that get the hell up and walk out!
