My father & mother. Music & books allowed me to see a world beyond my own environment & expand my knowledge respectively. Life experiences & traveling & meeting & kicking it with different people.😎

How myopic the above observation is. Nobody here denies the existence of the human race. That's a curious accusation coming from a "forked tongue" patriot.

ProfD Again, what are people doing with that information to make life better for future generations? Your guess is as good as mine, lol. My point was that in modernity, there are Black folks who are perfectly fine with living under s system of racism white supremacy. They don't see it as oppressive as slavery Correct. Or atleast many can't think of a better system to replace it with. So they live under this one. All poverty is created by human greed. So you don't think the individual is at fault in bringing poverty on themselves in atleast some cases? Happiness is relative. Most people don't care or know whether they're poor orbl rich until they compare themselves to others. Correct, and that's one of my points. Pocket watching others. Angry....not because they don't have enough wealth....but because somebody else has more wealth than them. The Western value system of what matters in life is terrible especially between the systems of racism white supremacy & capitalism. I agree that it's not the best. But when you compare it to OTHER systems, where you have gangs of young men roaming around with rifles on the back of mopeds raiding villages and killing other people and TAKING what little wealthy there is....the Western system is much better. The systems promote both sides of that equation. The majority of people on the planet will never have more than they need to survive. But is that the fault of the West, or is much of it the fault of a FAILED CULTURE in which they are not taught how to prepare for famine, drought, winter, and hard times? Too busy spreading carpets out on sand and dirt floors throwing weddings and feasts every other week instead of getting their ass out in the field and producing crops, irrigating the land, and building stable infrastructures. Yet, people will be told that through education & hard work they can have more than just enough. Meanwhile, becoming a millionaire or billionaire has little or nothing to do with education &/or hard work. Most millionaires and billionaires INHERITED their wealth....from parents and grandparents who thought enough of them to actually LEAVE them wealth for their future. That's love. A lot of poor people don't even PLAN to have children, let alone plan on having anything to leave them. Reminds me of that Temptations song about Papa was a rolling stone....when he died all the nigga left his kids was ALONE, lol. I can't get angry at the billionaire or millionaire leaving a fortune for their children when you got these some of these poor ass muthasuckaz who ain't leaving shit for their many many children...but a lot debt and car notes. Fortunes are built on everything from someone else's labor to hoarding natural resources to trading in the stock market. So, when the average person is confronted with that reality, it can lead to disenfranchisement or despaire or destructive behavior. So a woman chose to smoke crack....because she was angry about people making a fortune on Wallstreet? Laws are constructed to control &/or contain people who try to buck the systems which can lead up to everything from greater confinement to wars & death. Richard Pryor said the same thing about prisons, until he actually WENT to one and talked with a few of the inmates. He left saying THANK GOD FOR PRISONS 👮🏾‍♂️ -Muthafucka, why did you kill EVERYBODY in the house??? "Well.....they was home!"
