Strive for rulership not equality, black man.
Black people don't need handouts, Black people need the government to stop sanctioning a system where we are relegated to the bottom. And that same government needs to pay us for the labor of our ancestors--slavery only ended 153 years ago.
There's plenty of data on the "handouts" non-black, non-white people get in this country, who've done less. And there's plenty of precedent for reparations from this country, to people who weren't American slaves.
Powernomics falls under these same conservative principle that say black people need to pull themselves up by boot-straps they don't have. We are not some powerful, united group outside of what Diddy and Jay-Z bullshyts about "Black Excellence" and women in African clothes calling themselves "queen" on Instagram.
I'm a grown man and I'm tired of these games and workarounds.
Example; we cannot "buy politicians" in the age of Citizens United. Trying to compete is going get us destroyed as soon as some monopoly or billionaire feels threatened by us.
I do not wanna be the governments or white people's friend.
These muhfukkas owe us.
This country is built on the fact that black people are at the bottom....So, why would they help to change that? Now, to change that you need take out the people who keep you at the bottom and put yourself in power. No other way around it.
