123456789A Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Seems like a good kid but did she really need a sign for it? Probably could have saved some money and just tweeted instead. T3X4S 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's so many good quotes potential on this. "We have the total package". "I raised a gentleman". I could see myself refence this here and there for a while. I'm such a total **** lol.

COKid Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Seeing as the graduation rate is only around 47% for African Americans, (http://www.csg.org/pubs/capitolideas/enews/issue6_3.aspx), I suppose I can see why Ms. O'Neal would want to celebrate. Sadly, the bar is set rather low these days in the black community. When I was growing up, graduating high school and being a good citizen were a given. Anyway, if she can afford the cost of a billboard as a single mom of 6, good for her. If it turns out she's receiving welfare, then my opinion would change, however. I do wish the young man a good future. DConnell 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Raze Subscriber² Posted June 24, 2015 Subscriber² Share Posted June 24, 2015 Some good, positive news. The Mom loves her son and is proud and there is nothing wrong in her showing it publicly. Good for her and congrats to him. DConnell 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T3X4S Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 This doesn't make sense.... Title states that she rented billboard but the article says she bought it... hmm I dont think you can "buy" a billboard. Most of the time, you rent it from an advertising company and then you can put up what you want This doesn't make sense....

adrynalyne Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 This doesn't make sense.... Title states that she rented billboard but the article says she bought it... hmm Buying advertising space = renting. A billboard is an advertising space. 1 + 1 still equals 2.

I know you can rent the billboard these days... I know how it works but the writer should put "rented" in the article instead of bought... that's simple.
