The Cookout

All though there's no Black person on a richest people on earth list, the richest Black person is a Nigerian .

Sick of blaming the system is if all we do is really beg, we gotta realize the government does not give a shit about us, and we need to find a way to pull ourselves up. I know I know, it sounds like a WS mindset, but bruh if we want something we're going to be begging for a long time, so long, that we're probably not even going to get rid of systematic racism before our generations go extinct.

The racist colonisers spotted a weakness and exploited it. We wasnt vigilant enough back then, and we are now paying the price.

Is there systemic and endemic white racism towards us and a white supremacy system that has a code of denying us upward mobility? 100 percent.

But we cause our own errors. I won't put it all on us. The mindset that a lot of us have: defeatist, jealousy and envy, is a byproduct of that white supremacy mental game.

That said, we have do our best to play past it. Once we get enough of us on code like that, even 10% its a game changer.

We could have had a few billionaires and way, way more millionaires since the '90s had we not sold hip hop.

Had we started our own athletic shoe companies in the '80s when shoe contracts were getting big, we could have had a few billionaires and way more millionaires since then.

Had we started our own film industry from the 'Blaxploitation' days of the '70s, we'd have a few billionaires and many more millionaires since then.

Had Black women not let Asians run their own culture with hair and nails, they'd have a few billionaires and many millionaires right now.

Us not being on the list is our own fault with a lot of "help" (sarcastically speaking) from not just white but other people (Asians, Latinos).

I'm a huge fan of Dangote. There are a couple of billionaires in west Africa, Nigeria I believe, who have this goal of trying to create millionaires. I think it was something like 10,000. I saw this article a few years ago and tried looking for it on google now but someone scrubbed it from the net (very, very common thing racists at google and search tech companies do of anything positive for blacks).

Anyway, It was either 10,000 or 100,000 millionaires were their goal. We don't have that in America and need it badly. We have the most black millionaires of any other country.

True. As much as the system of white supremacy is messing us up, there is something to be said that we shouldnt be shooting ourselves in the foot with regards to us progressing.

I thought it might have been him who is the richest black man on the planet, but wasnt 100% sure.

If this is the case, this is the perfect example of getting on code. Putting each one, teach one, into practice.
