I agree with all of this. She has the legal protection of marriage. There is seemingly financial security and a comfortable lifestyle being provided. I also think that Charisma is getting some very specific emotional needs met from this relationship that would not be on the table with an a fully abled bodied man. A lot of people just see the racial component of this relationship but there are women who desire heterosexual relationships but are physically intimidated by men due to past trauma. What is the dude in the wheelchair going to do that you don't allow? There's levels and layers to unorthodox relationships.Didn’t she already get married(hence the ring)?
At this point this is a grown married woman and all this faux outrage is pointless
I watched the above video and if you read between the lines, it sounds like YouTube is getting them a pretty big bag and she wants to foray that into a nonprofit and go back to school later so she can do that. It sounds like they did a TED Talk too, which is a pretty big deal.
I know us black folks preach education but if sis is getting the bag without it and having that huge reach she wants...is it really necessary(though she did say she wants to go back)?Plus, the stress put her in the hospital, yeah ,no.
It sounds like she knows exactly what she’s doing (or thinks she does) and the way her hubbs was emphatically shaking his head when she said she doesn’t think She needs to work a 9-5 , it sounds like her partner is supportive enough to make it happen regardless(and she said he apparently has several nonprofits ,which I’ve heard can be lucrative for some)
Ive pretty much only seen this and their support dog video, but they seem happy and wholesome *shrug
I would put money on that if some Trump confederate racist shenanigans popped off, Charisma is the safest negro in whatever tri county area they are in. His parents have zero white girl who don't come from Trash options to pawn their son off on for life, they ain't letting nothing happen to their Willy Wonka Golden Chocolate caretaking DIL.
In my not so humble opinion, that's what being loved is supposed to do. If you take that same statement but said it was coming from her parents or friends would it stand out? “Because my father loves me so much, he's made me realize how valuable of a person I am," IJS.
Imma agree to disagree.
I’m more concerned about passive aggressiveness and slights within their family, not outside threats. I have no doubt they’d protect her either.
If the word she used is changed from "love" to "needs" then yes ,of course, it changes the entire meaning of the statement.
Would you care to explain more? If not, I understand. Just trying to hear more of your perspective.
Thanks for sharing.I don't think I could get much clearer (??)
Human beings are, by habit or necessity, hypocrites.
For appearances or ego (e.g. want to believe they are a certain type of person)...
Online in places where your real name is not being shown, people are less worried about that.
So they do not filter out the dregs.
The dregs, when unspoken in real life come out in all kinds of
perplexing, seemingly inexplicable behaviour/actions /passive - aggressive ways.
Then too, there is the frustration/resentment of feeling they can't say what they really think and act how they really are...
they direct this frustration at the weakest link, making that the 'source' of it, even if it is not logical- and gang up where they can.
reading the type of logic people actually follow and agree on, with this thread as a 'case study' -- explains the bolded part to me. It's not what a person says when you know their face and/or name-- it's what they really think, that drives the bolded part above.
It also explains why the world is what it is.
What they think, is, for me, a very soulless + unreasonable + sickening way to see the world...
so then you wonder why you feel disgusted, uneasy or at risk of being targeted, among most people.
If what people said was exactly as they thought, though, it would be an even worse world -
-If they leave it unsaid, there is that veil, which by God's grace.... leaves room for them changing their minds or
allowing or
doing things they know are the right thing to do - priority-wise - even if they aren't fully convinced in other ways-
- - so there is all that space., that veil remaining, that keeps much of the modern world --not all of it--
from following trends that result in genocide, putting people in concentration camps, etc.
It's still a fine veil, and therefore an unsafe place to be, no guarantee-
so being a committed loner is the only way to peace of mind. I was trying to be honest too, and not wording my reaction to be nicer and less judgemental.
Not sure exactly what you mean, even after reading your other explanation.

Nope, I did not know they weren't legally married and it sounds like that was on purpose. I would never encourage any young woman with options to get into this situation.Did anyone know that Charisma and Cole aren’t legally married because they want to keep Cole’s Medicaid benefits? Charisma did an interview for this podcast. If you listen to 32:00 you can hear Charisma talk about it.
WAGS of SCI: The Podcast – Ep. 30 – Charisma Jamison on Loving Cole, Equality, Self Care + Living Life On Your Own Terms - WAGS of SCI
One of the very first women Brooke and Elena connected with after starting the WAGS of SCI group was Charisma Jamison, a young woman from Virginia who had just started dating a Quadriplegic named Cole. Fast forward 2 years and they are now hugely successful Vloggers, running the YouTube account...
I just hope she has protected herself in some way if things go South. They are not legally married but sources of income are tied up together and I don’t know who owns that new house they bought. Coles mama seems like someone who will become viscous if they separated Or if Cole died.
I find it interesting to compare squirmy and Grubbs to this couple. Last I saw, Hannah is still in school and finishing up. She and charisma look to be about the same age. I think Shane is older but has money from book sales or something. He probably already earned too much to be on Medicaid unlike Cole (does Cole have a job? He kept saying he wanted to work in neuroscience)
With their sub count I think Cole is bringing in a lot more than 2K a month. They are probably putting it on Carisma’s income and under paying Cole to keep insurance.

Def agree but especially this.
I'm going to preface what I'm going to say with I don't care about what white women do that is of no benefit because there is a structure in place to catch them when they fall.
Why even pretend otherwise? She knows it’s some BS
out. 
Take care.
