      I live in the Dominican Republic from the US. The locals from foreign countries are mostly poor,and some not all young girls are taught to pursue men and get what they want. Some of the young ladies here in the DR makes more than the doctors and lawyers. So Mj is right to help Marco along,and yes Marco needs space to hangout and have fun,but please know he can be kidnapped in a split second. Try to have your cousin or someone to hang out with you. This young lady should have never come to your home- once you get comfortable they could possibly set you up. It happens ALL the time in these foreign countries to especially America men.
      There is a well known New York entrepreneur who was just killed last week here in Las Terrenas Dominican Republic. Please research for yourself. They say he's was probably set up from some chick and was robbed and murdered.
      Have fun Marco, but be extremely careful in the States,but extremely careful as an Expat.

    I love that MJ said to Marco that he sees the blind spots that Marco doesn’t see and reassured him that his uncle will always be in his corner and advocate for Marco’s growth. Nothing comes easy but when a costly mistake that could change a man’s life will be much much harder. Marco is very lucky to have his uncle’s tough love and protecting his boys from falling prey that many young men Marco’s age end up in prison, on the streets, and having children out of wedlock with a multitude of problems etc. Tough love is a necessity when it comes to parenting and discipline. Well done Uncle MJ! 👍🏻👍🏻

      This is what they're missing today, we would still have it if more males would realize JUST HOW MUCH WE AS WOMEN, YOUNG MALES AND CHILDREN NEED THEM. They were created to protect us, yet they're so deep down in the ditch that they need protection. And as much as they reject it - they need to look up to Jesus and ask Him to help them - our family structure will return, daughter's will thrive, and we as black women will have our BACKBONE BACK. We won't have to be so strong anymore, operating in our MASCULINE ENERGY. I thank God that I made my request known to Him to send my BOAZ, and he's here, so now I'm learning to all over again learning to operate in feminine energy to allow this man in my life to be to me what he needs to be. He's been an awesome addition to our family in regard to my 14 yr. old grandson. God is able to turn things around for us -we won't ask Him, we act like we don't need Him anymore, YET, that's our ONLY HOPE. ❤️

      How does he know? Has he spoken with her? This is the de-humanizing of the poor. And yet, the young man is the one that revealed HE is a USER. He openly said he just wanted to use her and wanted nothing serious from her whatsoever. A very typical attitude amongst the rich. Using everyone else for their own desires, everyone to serve them, but looking down on everyone with lesser wealth, thinking ALL are gold diggers and don’t bring anything of value… because they don’t have money. So, who do we know for sure is superficial from this scenario? NOT THE YOUNG GIRL-we don’t know ANYTHING about her… but we just saw this video and it’s plain to see the superficial values.

To many fall away having no one to help them guide in the best direction possible. you're there to help them not to run out of bounds nothing wrong with teaching them to have hindsight.
