This is issue and John Lewis uses the same talking point. I respect MLK and he was great. My point is, what have they done recently? I have had heated debates with my father about this. You don't know me or anything about me. So, for you to say what I will accomplish is a weak talking pointWhat u mean what have these dudes done?

You need to gain some perspective. Al and Jesse have outlived their usefulness but before social media, if there was an injustice you couldnt just tweet out something. Jesse and Al was there to bring awareness. I wont even bring up 60s-70s Jesse when he was out there in the trenches. 80s-90s Jesse and Al was damn near the only voice the common black folks had to put their message out there. Just like anybody else, they got old, took L's washed up and became all about the check. But it is what it is. Jesse by himself has accomplished and done more for black folks then you ever will i guarantee you that.
Especially when you type drivel like this

I've stood in with the poor and been there first hand to feed them. Also, I've been involved with canvasing and volunteering at the poll booth

around the issue. Listen, our communities are in dire horror. I live in a working-class area, but these inner cities are bad. The infrastructure is falling apart and most of these people have been neglected. Yes, I take huge issue with exploiters and oligarchs running our communities with their policies. Brotha, oil pipeline companies are trying to build pipelines to poison our water. They are doing it to the Native Americans and Gullah Geechees.![]()
We are discussing the crises in the United States NOW not in 1940, 50, and etc. Is that history important? Yes. However, they use that as a strawman to reel these people in and lie to them. The exploiters are just as bad if not worse than the oligarchs. Because they are agents.
Anyway, I want to address that issue of not doing anything. I've admitted that I've failed and other brothas like me. However, I plan to return to school for Human Services SO I can do community organizing and being a champion of the 99%/poor. So, I guran-damn-tee sir that I can do more than these people. I could fill the whole arena out for an honest message.
As far as me being a messiahAlways remember, "don't make checks that ya ass can't cash".
With all due respect on a serious note you are kindaon this issue.![]()
It takes economic power and political power to create TRUE change. Together, we are THE powerbrokers. Also, honest values and leadership is KEY to a productive community for the youth of today.
What u mean what have these dudes done?

Again, with all due respect I'm 22 and I have to crawl before I walk. You bring up a good point. I do have stashed money, but I don't invest in the stock market (reasons that it's a huge risk). However, my point is that we have to create a coalition of likeminded people. Sir, Oligarchy means an institution or organization controlled by a few. I'm an average guy who wants to make change. Like I said, we need to join together (general term) and fight for change. Look at the Cubans and other ethnic groups. We have to call out people that's exploiting our people. I respect that you own your own business. Never did I attack you. I just stayed with the issue of the discussion. These people are using us for their gain. That is true and I've personally been inside these inner cities. Trust me, it hurts to see low-income people of color live in those types of situations. Also, these landlords don't care because they are slumlords. They only fix the issue before the inspector or real leaders show up.Im not even addressing the other parts of your soliloquy. Because this right here needs some attention.
How the fukk are you gonna lecture anyone else about economic power when you dont even have a job fam? You dont own property. You dont own a business. You dont have stocks. You dont have a portfolio. You dont have any investments. You don't have a 401k. You dont have a education. You probably dont even have a bank account. You dont have any children. You sleep in your childhood room with NYSNC posters and your only contribution to the world is message board postings. How you gonna lecture a educated father, a homeowner, stockholder, and a small businessman about ANYTHING?
You havent even lived life to drop anything on me of substance and value. You flip flop from Trump-Bernie-Stein-Bernie....in a span of two months. No disrespect but you dont any idea about how life even works. You have no concept of HISTORY. You just pick up small phrases like "oligarchy" and parrot them to seem enlightened. Your opinions change and you these great epiphanies depending on how the wind blows. Newsflash: you are not the smartest guy in the room, you not reinventing the wheel, your not gonna change the world, and until you can even afford the paper to wipe your funky ass with, your not even a fully grown man. Just a lil nikka on the internet who thinks you got life figured out. You dont.
The same 80's in Wich AL was snitching to the feds as exposed by the FBI. The same AL Sharon that backs down when you donate to his organization? As told by Bill O'ReillyWhat u mean what have these dudes done?
