Black Dichotomy : A strange place that within exists a very group of talented men and women who are in a time and place of having the greatest amount of upward potential financially since reconstruction, due to many reason including demographic changes in population and target audiences for many of the services and products they provide, and the powers that be choosing to use the greatest cultural movement of the last half century as a marketing tool for the state run and private correctional institutions. These particular men and women have unlimited upside in being examples, leaders and role models for innumerable young people in achievement in the fields of business and commerce. But instead of seeing the big picture these men and women cling to things that defeated our people in the past by setting them up to be engulfed by the state run and private correctional industries. Ask Gilbert Arenas I see this guy almost daily in the gym he is seems to be well off financially he has a pleasant demeanor and is respectful of others regardless of his celebrity however he couldn't escape the trap of working on rules that have been pushed on us to insure we never truly escape and I understand it caused an earlier than expected end to his playing days and yet an still we still have news that Ja Morant is run back his misdeeds with gun play. We can't seem to get out of our own way at times and I say that to say this, rappers want to keep it real and rappers want to keep it gangster but can't separate the professional world from the streets. Being called Bougie or funny acting is okay if it is what is needed to successfully earn a high salary or operate an enterprise of commerce, not saying YoGotti is at fault in any part for the incident but how hard is it to imagine patrons of his restaurant being also those who follow his music and espouse its morals lessons and philosophy's. My memory fails me at the moment who it was 2Chains or another rapper had a similar incident involving a staff member allegedly committing an act of gun violence. As much as people like to poke fun at Jay Z, I cant help but notice he seems to be getting wealthier and wealthier and has become the default bar of excellence and to put it plain the guy to chase. By the way the same guy who we call bougie but is welcome in a room with Warren Buffet and Calvin Bacot but we only marvel at how rich he is while at the same time how corny he is for making songs telling (at the risk of being Kanye'd) his our people about how certain religious fraternities he has grown close to use good credit and leverage to amass wealth while the rest of those with an audience half-jokingly preach that having bad credit and being irresponsible financially is a sign of being a real one. Think about that the guy we laud as a financial luminary but call his music corny or not for the streets. He was very clear somewhere after the black album about being true to himself and not trying to keep up with the latest slang and swagger but addressing his reality. Hopefully him and other can get us to see the value in what he is offering us from over sized tees and throwbacks to dress shirts, from bust down rollies iced out to Patek's and Audu mars, see the example see the value in the transition to who we want to be and how we wish to be respected and what behaviors we offer for those things to be realities. Old saying by Les Brown some of you might not know who he is but to put in a nutshell he was the Eric Thomas before Eric Thomas was on and it goes a little something like this. "You don't out of life what you want you get out of life what you are" - you won't become a millionaire by just wanting to be a millionaire really bad you become a millionaire by doing the things millionaires do. Like working your a$$ off daily and being focused on your goals not playing the corner, not gang banging, not being at all the events, clubs and happenings but sleeping in everyday because you don't get to sleep until the early morning hours.
@4:21 Point being we don't live in a democracy we live in a Democratic Republic that subscribes to a economic philosophy called a "Free Market System" and the cliff notes on that is this if we can own and operate our own enterprises we can generate wealth for us and create tax revenues for the Babylon, own real properties so we can create wealth for us and create tax receipts that fund our local education systems giving us an opportunity to better educate future generations to the importance of ownership and financial literacy and knowledge which equals love of self and much more and finally we can participate participate in the trading markets (stock market). In any Free Market Society the buck gets the answer politicos promise us the world right before every election but never deliver any thing but if we were able to offer some capital we would get promises fulfilled, complaints addressed, fair treatemnt by law enforcement and so on
Thank you!!!!
4:21 & 4:44 not only are those with broad platforms shooting us in the foot but others as well. As bad as we want to keep it real as a people we will not act a fool but wait to we catch the offender back in the hood and why? Because we as a group will not shoot up Mortens or Spago because we convinced ourselves that all this money these people spent to keep this place nice for all the famous people coming to spend money here my black a$$ will never get out of jail if I beat this fools a$$ for dissin me or for steppin on my new Jordans, or if I mrec this fool who I swore I was droppin on sight. Or how about the nasty behavior instilled in us by our elders not to act up in front of them folks SMH. All positive sentiments but the motivations are very questionable, why cant we apply that to our entrepreneurs establishments how about we teach the younger generations and practice ourselves "THAT WE DON'T ACT UP IN BLACK ESTABLISHMENTS".....why not we are just as important as anybody else we should not want to embarrass ourselves by acting out in a place our parents and grandparents visit, our kids and neices and nephews, teachers preachers and barbers and hairdressers all of us included we should have enough respect for ourselves and our community that we don't want to cause a black entrprenuer a problem or risk the closing of their establishment temporarily or permanently
we should be more concerned about how black people will view you for stopping the building of our economy.
just a thought lets see that spread like no snitching
