There is a certain amount of freedom in not having to make plans and/or set goals. Taking care of life responsibilities usually requires it. You're in a good position if your needs and wants are being met sufficiently.

As a buddy of mine likes to say..."they don't know nothin'." The blessing and curse of being a human is having the ability to think and reason and believing we know a lot of sh8t that we don't. The smarter people accept that they don't know too much of anything.

Right. Even during the Civil Rights movement Black folks weren't unified monolithically. As @richardmurray pointed out, Black folks have to build unity with like-minded folks...their tribe. Addendum...establishing and supporting Black-owned financial institutions does not require adherence to a belief or ideology. It does allow ALL Black folks to belong to the same tribe in some way.

As we've covered in past threads, I totally understand your point in this regard. The reality is that Black folks are not in a position to take wealth by force. Although Black folks do kill others, it's not with the same mentality that white folks are willing to kill anything and everything in their path. I don't believe Black people have the same willingness to go to war and kill others for their freedom or power and wealth.
