    This was wonderful to see. Not enough of us black men had this type of relationship with our fathers. You can tell Quinton has the upmost respect and love for his father. It's very sad to hear about his brother getting killed but life is very real for us out here in these streets no matter who your family might be.

  • @MrExtraFINESSEtrial

    Their family so cool especially Pops. As soon as Q said, he gave his brother the Infinity truck... "I knew what followed next." That's so DEPRESSING for the hood to continue the trend and feed the BAD reputation.

      @bee boo been out of touch with the Cubs since they won it all, but it's an unfortunate trend in baseball going way back in the day
      with all baseball teams.
      You may not remember them, but Ferguson Jenkins, Ernie Banks, Billy Williams, those were the Cubs I followed, back in the day.
      Honestly and being very candid my friend, ⚾ and 🏑 will always be a Caucasian dominated Sport the same way Football and Basketball are dominated by us.
      My perspective is one that was coming from a young boy growing up in the city of Chicago.
      I didn't care what color dominated which team.
      I just knew I was a fan of all Chicago Sports Teams.That was all that mattered to me. Even if all you could do was listen to them on the radio, which was all we had at the time, the young guys I grew up with, we all rooted for our Chicago Sports Franchises.
      If the trend changes and things start to even out, Great, but I doubt if they ever will, for a number of different reasons, and you and I CERTAINLY agreeing on one in particular...

    I think people really don't understand the power of a man having a good father or good father figure in their life. It's great seeing this knowing Q comes from my era. I will say only people from Chicago knows no matter how far you go or whatever Chicago will always be home. Man, I remember those crates. Hate what happened to his brother. The neighborhoos in Chicago were rough but they got worse when the city closed the projects and just started moving people into there neighborhoods and near suburbs. I don't hate the people from the projects because most are simply a product of their environment but still there mentality of the projects was so different from even the roughest neighborhood in Chicago. Moving them in the hoods without any type of programs or whatever was like throwing a match on gas and the result is what is seen today
