What I had to ask myself recently is why would I allow my mind to operate within limitations imposed on it by outside influences(rules). That are designed to maintain power & control over it & keep it in a cycle of poverty or lower self. When it is a Historical Fact that for example America became a Nation by. Not playing by the rules the English King tried to impose on them. Instead they literally broke the rules (just focusing on this one vital element in history. An not all the other straight up heartless acts of savagery.) Then they created rules for others to play by. This is not a justification for whatever unrighteous acts to be committed. In the name of progress/personal progress. Just a reminder of the harsh fact that most laws & rules are. Designed to maintain power & control over others. While most of are busying trying to play by the rules imposed on them by others. An wondering why they not truly making progress. Bc true progress might require you to step all outside the neatly painted lines.

Only black woman, gay men, or kissing the white man a** is the only way to get wealth in America. America refuse to let black men have anything

I live in Jamaica and trust me when I tell you that as a black person, your own chose not to support you weather it be a business venture or in work. They rather spend to buy from the Indian or the Chinese. There's also this big misconception that anything Jamaican isn't good enough, but if it comes from a foreign country, particularly American, Canada or England it's value has risen, and they are willing to spend more on foreign produced goods. Some black people rather earn their money and place it in the bank, thinking it's safe there. They don't try to get educated in other ways of investment, support black own businesses, same can be said for celebrities not investing in black and upcoming designers, but chose to buy Gucci and all the bigger brands.
Slavery had a part but we can't always use the horrors of our past to define our path to success. -
I believe it has got nothing to do with colour, but mind-set, well done you guys. WELL DONE

Those are the things I like to see on CNN, instead of botching Trump name everyday, if they keep putting great episodes like this, there viewers approval will go up.

Mrs.Johnson's home in Virginia is absolutely beautiful. They have tons of horses as well.

I appreciate all these folks…..and even they will concede that old Kanye's words are true….. "Even if you in a Benz……."

Yeah and from my experience if you interact with blacks and you're white it's assumed you already have money & if you don't it's because you're just not using your privilege. Black for the blacks & they'll do anything to keep a white person down.

I've got a better question for you: why does this 1% holds most of the country's wealth while so many people are homeless and cannot afford health care? What is wrong with you people??

Blacks- We were oppressed 30 years ago and we have had it rough
Also blacks- Sitting on their ass not trying to get a job and saying they are still oppressed even though in my area there are literally programs for JUST BLACKS.
Racism is reversed you fucking cucks.Look i'm sorry, but these people today, need to suck it up, and start their legacy now. even our white ancestors lived in shit, but they got out of it, it also make me sad because most black people i know in my area work their ass off and in a lot of cases are better off than average because they are willing to work, but these pathetic hypocrites say they are given nothing, when in fact, they are given everything. And a side note, the 1% represent the actual demographic america blacks make up 15% of our population, the don't deserve to control more that 15% of anything. Unless they can do it better.
