if we spent as much time learning how to create black wealth on wallstreet, educating all the black entrepreneurs behind bars on how to run/raise money for legal businesses to fund real public education & theraputic family support for poor black families trapped in the cycle as , we did abt the use of the the word nigger, we'd have the kind of financial empire that wouldn't be terrorized by the police...
jews only worried abt folks calling them names after they built a financial empire that is the underpinings of wallstreet & secured an entire country where no one could put them in ovens again... u may not like how they did it, (i happen to think it's genius), but they prioritized a financial strategy that would ensure that jewish genocide is never on the table again...and they were wiped out from country to country for 1000's of years just like black folks... the irony is the people who use the word 'nigger' the most in the world of hip hop are actually building financial empires, but we'reso worried abtthe semantics (like the word nigger) that we can't mobilize a black business strategy around existing structures of black power & wealth... words are emotional attacks that are a distraction...black success at something you've built and created like a business empire with power is the single biggest creator of self-esteem, personal worth & fearsome power in America... if i could control stock wallstreet stocks jumping up and down just by tweeting what i ate this morning, u could call me a nigger all day long, right after you ask me to endorseyour product and pay me by buying stock in my corporation... because then u wouldnt be trying to kill me bec u need me...that's what capitalism is and the only thing that our gov & society responds to... Feeling defeated by the word nigger or images of slavery are paralyzing symptoms of post traumatic stress from slavery...and until u do the work to get over it (there are tons of black psychologists doing this kind of work for folks in poor communities on a sliding scale), we will constantly be side tracked by the pain of personal attacks like being called a nigger... we will continue let us weigh us down with secretly believing its actually has truth or power behind it...we'll spend our valuable time and energy trying to convince others of its power while giving upour own power.....all that unconfronted pain is designed to paralyze u and keep u from figuring out the real strategies for survival in this corporation called the United States of America. #TiredOfUsGettingBoggedDownWithStrategiesAroundPowerlessnessAndPain #RealFinancialPowerMeansNeverHavingToAskComplainOrMarchToStopPeopleFromKillingUs
