True. All men are created equal. However, there is something different about men who are willing to start world wars for power.
Actually, 2 things can be said about them:
1. They're ahead of the game.
2. The men who start wars with other nations for power are on a higher level than the nigga in the doo-rag who starts wars with other neighborhoods over colors or perceived disrespect.
Both men are violent, but one stands to gain far more benefit.
But, successful people, institutions, businesses, corporations, etc. inspire people to do better too.
Facts.
That's why I can't get behind some of these so-called "Black leaders" who do nothing BUT look for incidents of racism to hold rallies and protests over....but do nothing else.
The Panthers didn't JUST protest police brutality but tried to give the community political education and fed children in the schools.
The Nation of Islam build institutions like schools, grocery stores, and media publications.
We have to be more than just "reactive" but about the business of actually BUILDING something.
True. Black men have to be willing to do the same things white men did in order to build this powerful nation.
And those that have, have USUALLY been successful....lol.
Part of the Black leadership *problem* is the lack of a succession plan. That self-hate/jealousy is manifested in that aspect too.
This also comes out of Black people...even when they get up in age...not wanting to let go of power and prestige and pass it along to another.
You not only see this in politics and business where a Black man who is clearly old and senile and can't run the day to day operations of the very business HE founded but REFUSES to step down and let others take over (and really didn't even train them to do so)
Nigga so old he can't tell a 1 dollar bill from a 50 dollar bill...but he STILL wants to stand there and over-see all of the financial transactions of the barbershop because he don't trust anybody working for him, lol.
....but you also see in in SOCIAL situations where Black women often compete with their own daughters and grand daughters for men and attention!
You can't go over some women's houses without their elderly mother strutting around in ill-fitting clothes grinning and flirting with any man her daughter brings home.
