So her father knew she was stripping and STILL wouldnt give her money???


Wow...what a dickhead

That's reality, There are lots of fathers in this world who are well aware that their daughters may be.

Strippers,
escorts
porn stars

Some come from families with no money

What makes you think he is supposed to?

He didnt have an issue with paying for her education until she told him which college she wanted to attend. Thats when all hell broke loose. He must really hate the college she chose if he still wont pay for her education after discovering she strips.....in their hometown nonetheless where his buddies and coworkers can find out. Most dads would be humiliated

He did not want her to go to a black college, so he wanted her to go an upstate more well known school like Colombia University or Duke.

Diamond was doing fine on her own stripping and didn't really need her father's money. She had her own life, man, place, car, gun, could pay for school and pretty much free child care from them. It's called get off the t it. I don't want my dad's money and he is very much established and does things like toy drives (some is donated to his church the rest he pays for), gives away cars and is owner of several houses that he rents out, so every month is a good one for him. I wanted his last house him and his wife moved out of when he bought his new one and asked him how much would he charge me for rent. Do you think I am entitled to whatever he owns? And $800 was my discount just to throw that in there. I was willing to pay it but another family had got it faster than I was prepared to move.

Also if my daughter chooses to strip in 15 years and shack up with her man why on earth would i give her money when she's not struggling? Maybe we come from 2 different worlds but where I'm from we don't roll like that honey.

I dont think you understand what Im getting at. most fathers would be embarrassed and give their right arm to get their daughter off the pole especially if she was stripping in their community. I am just pointing out how bizarre the father's behavior was in the film. He knows she strips yet he doesnt offer her money to stop. You dont find that odd??

reply

Again, hell no. Like I said, 2 different worlds. I wouldn't give my grown ass decision making daughter nothing. Now let's be more realistic here. She has had plenty of chances to stop and for him to offer

I see what the one person is saying about the father caring less about if she strips or not. If me or my sister was stripping and the word got around the town in Georgia my dad would be shocked and probably freak out. Knowing my dad he would probably try to talk me out of it and tell me to get another job and then he'll be like if I needed the money I could come to him, and depending the day he might be like your grown its your life.

What was silly is how Diane wanted to go the a HBC but her father wanted her to go to a college that would be twice as much money. But she got pregnant when she was just finish with high school and 4 years later her son looked much older that 3 or 4 years old.
