Not particularly well, but Ive read the negro and the education of black people. He says the top ten percent of blacks need to uplift the rest, which isnt exactly what i was advocating, but I also didnt give any particular community agenda. I told a 18 year old alcoholic that quit his job to read a book about self esteem and self worth.
Sue me

Thats the one that helped me and led me to science
from a life of weed addiction and simping
Atlas Shrugged
Im middle class, my dad worked to allow me to benefit from capitalism, best believe imma.
But @yo moms needs this type of philosophy. This is starter philosophy, you start by getting yourself right and seeing what youre good at then move onto Hobbes and the like. We all need to learn to love ourselves first and formost, especially as black men. Growing up in the community ive seen far too many black men unable to find inner peace resulting in dependence, we need to value ourselves as much as possible.
Every Black man should read DuBois's The Negro and Hobbe's Leviathan. And as much as I hate to say it, black people(and all people) generally arent shyt these days, we need to learn to prosper independently first so we know who the good people are and what is really important. No one has all the answers but Sway.
ill prolly be in military prison for fukking up some of these pricks.
. Our path to prosperity will require us to make use of all knowledge available, all philosophies, all war tactics, all farming techniques. I appreciate you and what you say, but im the same age as yo moms, 19. When I was 15-16 all i cared about was smoking weed and trying to get white girls to like me. Atlas Shrugged, the stranger, and the brothers karanazov saved me from a life of wasted potential and depression. I went from being asked to drop out of my school in a failing urban district to getting a full ride to engineering school at an AAU university.
Everything comes down to each of us just having a better general understanding of the world. We all need to read more and get more knowledge. It starts with self esteem.
Low key native son may have been the better recommendation
I'm just so confused on what to do in life right now. Everyone keeps telling me to join the military but that's because I'm around the white side of my family. Do they not understand how racist the cacs are in the military. They are disgusting in your face racists

We have a huge issue in that the way the societal oppressor has framed things makes everything seem
Everything that brings people together is destroyed now, thats why everything is based on individual consumption. Even things that bring people together like sports are rooted in individualism and division.
No better place to get together then in our own racial spheres, then socioeconomic spheres.
Capitalism isn't self esteem. You are using them interchangeably and they aren't the same thing.
Preaching capitalism to a black man who needs help with what to do is not an answer to boost his self esteem.
I believe all you are saying to be correct, however, I don't believe it's appropriate in this situation.
The advice you are giving simply isn't applicable to him as he is not interested in the typical, go to school, be ruthless in the office route, that's another thing, capitalism that Amy Rand preaches simply won't be applicable to some people at all, as everyone's different.
How about advice specific to his case
