How on point do yall think this video is?

I thought it was very insightful.
Not telling us much we didn't already know, but putting it together in a way that those who DIDN'T grow up in our era under our conditions can easily understand.

Had to disagree with the brutha on the drinking part though.
The older generations (Baby Boomers and Depression Era) drank WAY more than we did....lol.

I’m not a fan of these AI videos optimized for the YouTube algorithm.

One, and you’ll notice this across a wide variety of videos even the ones created by humans, is that they are so redundant. YouTube likes longer videos for their algorithm so creativives create unnecessarily long videos.

For example, that bit about drinking I felt like I was beating over a head with a stick with that line. Sheesh it was annoying and that’s ignoring the fact that I actually agree with @Pioneer1 on that subject.

My generation definitely drank a lot more than the generation that came after me. Now the generation that came next (the one talked about in the video) definitely smokes a lot more weed. Surprisingly that didn’t make it into the video.

There are some other points that I disagree with, but they are arguable..,

And the beat goes on as one generation analyzes the next.😁

The data & analysis in the video makes great points.

The question is always what are Black men going to do about the institutions & conditions designed to marginalize & disenfranchise our brothers.

In the meantime, part of what keeps successful Black men going who don't drink or use drugs to self-medicate is putting in the work to provide for & protect & inspire the next generation to do better.

Funny thing is...all roads lead to the same place regardless of generation...a life of responsibilities & cemetery.🤣😎

According to you, they are powerless TO do anything about it....lol.

Maybe they're doing the best they can.

In the absence of being able to dismantle & destroy the system of racism white supremacy, it is extremely important to teach all FBA/AfroAmericans early & often, what the system is & how it operates to keep them imprisoned.

Instead of churches teaching FBA/AfroAmericans about the sky fairy & his son & what they need to do in order to see them & have everlasting life, Black pastors should be teaching Black history & the atrocities committed against our people from slavery to present & about the system of racism white supremacy.

Black Gospel music can still write & produce & sing the feel good songs. At least, the people will be educated in the most important lessons as it relates to racism white supremacy & be better equipped to dismantle & destroy it.😎

IF they can't do anything about it, why even learn?

In some cases, ignorance is bliss.

If a man has a deadly incurable disease that will kill him all of a sudden....wouldn't it be best for him to not even know about it?

But again if....IF...they are powerless to do anything about it anyway, all that will do is depress them and leave them with a feeling of worthlessness and even worse....hopelessness.

Atleast belief in the "sky fairy" gives them hope and a reason to live life and enjoy themselves, somewhat.

That doesn't sound like powerlessness.

That sounds like untapped potential.

Blissful ignorance & hope are two reasons Black folks are powerless against the system of racism white supremacy.

If a person is afraid to die, they're already dead. In other words, they're not living their Earthly lives to the fullest extent.

The road to h8ll is paved with good intentions & potential.

Some type of action(s) is required in order to gain power & exercise it.😎
