Malcolms entire existence was based off fighting institutionalized racism, yet you call that “begging the white man” here, while also trying to evoke his name to back up your bootstrap talk.

You bout confused as fukk:mjlol:
What's your solution? You doing a lot of bytching about why you and others can't get wealthy. What's your solution? Mine is stack your chips and bet on yourself. What's yours?

You can feed your family and still pursue your dreams. Over time things can happen for anyone who dare try.
Often times you cant. The average american has $400 in their savings. Most folks are simply trying to survive and dont have viable options.

I forgot where I read it, but they said that in order to change your life trajectory, one needs about $15k of liquid cash to make a life altering change. How many people can say they have that available to pursue their life’s dreams?

Brag? We are a product of luck. You feel a sort of way because your self esteem is in shambles
Luck is only for people who are trying and focused on enough things to be successful. Anyone can become a success if they honestly desire to.

Lol alot of you never been poor or don't know what poor really is.

Most of the rich people in this world come from already rich families. These people can afford to take chances or they can also be fukk ups their whole life and still be president. Word the Bush Jr and Trump.

I guess you bootstrap people at least believe in something .

Also the man who coined bootstraps was saying it in jest. I mean think about it. Although most of you don't. How would one pull themselves up by their boot straps. You would be pulling your feet off the ground and falling on your ass. Which was his point. The masses can't work their way out of poverty alone. It takes collective bargaining and systemic change.

No they cant. Anyone cant. :mjlol:

Lots of hard working and focused folks living on destitute pockets of the world often times arent lucky enough to meet someone with means to guide them or give them a chance.

Aight man, you cannot cliche your way through social analysis. The whole concept of luck in philosophy basically means accidents of birth - things that you have that have nothing to do with your effort. The whole idea of anyone being able to be a success ignores the fact that it takes other people a considerably greater amount of time and effort to do it. Is it any surprise that most of these tech guys come from upper middle class home at minimum? Somehow I don’t think Mark Zuckerburg is dropping out of Harvard to work on Facebook if he is the first one on his family to attend college.

Times have changed. All you need is internet and learn to research with google. But we all know that most people are distracted so...

You seem to not understand difference between personal goals/actions and, collective social policy.

Obviously as an individual you try your hardest with whatever hand you are delt. But as a collective the only way our entire community can be lifted is through social/economic policy.

This is the gist of Malcolm’s entire existence. You posting his videos, it seems you would understand the very basis of what he stood for.

In America the overwhelming majority of wealth comes from either the legacy of slavery or things like the G.I. Bill. I.E. “social/Economic policy”

That’s how it works here. It’s public policy. No amount of bootstrap pulling can change that.

There is different levels of success. Everyone can’t create Facebook or Amazon. But think about this, why not learn to market to the users of Facebook or sell to the customers of Amazon? Anyone can do it if they focus and not distracted. The question is not how to be successful it is who is successful and how can I capitalize myself. Google will make anyone rich.
