"Wisdom and insight acquired through people and books only becomes factious once we experience life"Slavery never really ended, it just took on a more, sophisticated form. Even then it was about the bottom line, and even now the same people are still laughing all the way to the bank. You're working just as hard as your ancestors four hundred years back, you are still living on the oppressor's property, and, you think you are, but you're still not getting paid!Google some blue chip companies and their boards of trustees, look who runs them! Everything one creates is an extension of self, and what one possesses on the inside: Corporations are man's mind made manifest. Don't look at it as just a bank, see old man Rothchild's vision.You are given just enough to get what you have been coaxed into believing you need and desire; the image of success and happiness being portrayed in the media spurs us on to work twice as hard leaving us with even less time for independent thinking: "Only he who dangles the carrot in front of the horse to keep it in motion gets to decide if it will ever get a bite"By creating an illusion of a nonexistent void inside of us, a sub message suggesting "you are not enough" is being conveyed to us every single day; "after using product x you will feel a whole lot more confident, fabulous or beautiful." These are subtle suggestions that not doing something about ones supposed flaws or imperfections is to the detriment of one's being, that one then cannot attain a certain level of beauty or success. These are Subtle suggestions that what we drive says something about our character, that this brand makes us relevant, that' that brand gives of a certain feeling or effect. If we allow ourselves to get sucked into this abyss, we become the horse chasing the carrot, we have to find our worth outside our material possessions. This is the struggle the current generation of black has to take upon themselves. We are tasked with redefining black; its capabilities, and how black thinks. Who are we outside of what we wear and who we have on speed dial? What remains after you take our big cars and the mansions? A common misconception is that money is success, that recognition from others is living your dream; why do we want the money? We want security, peace of mind, to explore and experience the world: In short, we want money to have the freedom to do and have the things that make us happy. Therefore: He who finds happiness, he is truly a success.
