  1. I would date it back to Rush Limbaugh on Fox News. I feel the same way about writers, less so about people who write. A writer's voice as well as their ideas are informative. Technology has made many fields more open: music; writing; astrology, investing and others. This has also resulted in a lower signal to noise ratio.

  2. Fat Ham, by James Ijames A funny, poignant play that deftly transposes "Hamlet" to a family barbecue in the American South to grapple with questions of identity, kinship, responsibility, and honesty.

  3. All billionaires supply the wants of those in need. (Or they inherited from someone who did.) Supplying wants is how anyone earns money. Find a person's need to fulfill their desires. For example, your ability to read the stars is the answer for someone who wants to hedge the predictions for their future. They need to be self-sufficient. Some of us determine "wants" better than others. And those who do earn a lot of money. I earn money from clients because I pay attention to what people want from me. People usually want me to prepare statements. It doesn't matter what type of statements - they all have one thing in common. Many people need to appear versed in their vocation, and they are, but they sometimes have difficulty expressing what they know. So I help them. I can't make millions from helping people - because I help one person at a time. I could scale my knowledge by writing a book. But I don't know how to address their want commercially. And I NEED to get it right. (lol) BUT billionaires have figured out how to scale their product/service to sell to multi-millions. And I think all billionaires have a need to create the future.

  4. As I wrote in another thread, the slaughter of black folks will get worse as the ideologies of racism white supremacy indoctrinate more race soldiers willing to carry out executions. Black folks needs to seriously consider arming themselves. This is the only way to have a fighting chance against white supremacists who are willing to kill.

  5. Is this your belief? It’s not fact - but if this is your belief it does make your position clear to me. I don’t debate “beliefs.” I thought you were stating what you witnessed. And I didn’t see any empirical evidence. But now I understand the perspective is more nostalgic “Make Black America Great Again.” Although I I have more in common with iconoclast. I don’t have a strategy. I observe what is and analyze migration and the structure of movement. A movement doesn’t care about what you believe or how you feel about it - but it will run you over if you don’t adapt.

  6. Sadly this true. But only because of perspective. In fact, there was something you wrote in the abortion anti-abortion thread that help me have a paradigm shift. Once we start looking at things differently- things change!

  7. Correct. The current system definitely wouldn't allow every black person to be a multimillionaire. H8ll, the system makes it harder for many black folks to become a multi-thousandaire. As black folks, we aren't doing enough collectively to generate, pool and sustain our wealth. Gross consumerism is the opiate that anesthetizes folks into maintaining the status quo.

  8. @Stefan, you're absolutely right...it's a women's issue. As men, we have zero business in it.
