No he didn ' t . Calm the fuck down . <| sep |> Probly because reading comprehension is hard for you . That ' s a really great way of saying that you can ' t back up anything and are fucking stupid . If you could prove me wrong , you would have . But you can ' t , so you resort to insults . It ' s hilarious . We have all been laughing at you . Have fun being a raging tool with the inability to use phrases correctly . <| sep |> OP , I ' m black , not adopted , and any parents didn ' t believe in me either . I hit some bumps along the way , and it took me some time to get my degree and into my chosen industry . The one thing I can tell you for sure is that my mom is extremely proud of me . She refused to help me , because she thought it ' d be a waste . I love my mom , but proving her wrong became a goal , and I exceeded that goal . It ' s time to make your life your own . You are the only person truly responsible for where you end up when you ' re my age , 12 years from now . I ' d bet my life that as long as you are happy and selfsufficient , your parents will be proud of the man they raised . It ' s okay to not go along with what they want for your life . That decision is always entirely up to you .
