Is the American dream dead?

[GoFlipAPack]

And umm prouuuuud to BE AN AMERICAN

Where at least I know I'm freeee


And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I'd gladly stand up next to you
And defend Her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt
I love this lannnnnd
God Blessss theeee UUUU.SSSS.AAAAA

If you can get a decent paying 40hr W2 job and then do a 1099 thing on the side and willing to work 60+hrs a week for a bunch of years no it’s not - it just got ALOT harder and you have to sacrifice more

The American Dream is for white men and male immigrants that are willing to slave for the rest of their lives in order to have their descendants live the dream.

Black people will never taste it unless they have at least 3 of the following:

• Luck
• Charisma (which leads to connections)
• Athleticism in the 99th percentile
• A great support system
• Great mentors
• Shrewd intellect
• Elite business acumen
• Ungodly work ethic

I've never seen or heard of an average African-American working his way from peasant to royalty that DIDN'T join the military and took more than he gave the service.

The whole post is filled with divine intervention. To piggyback off of it, I heard somebody once say regardless of race, the only way to get rich is to:

• Be first.
• Be different.
• Be great.

The extremely wealthy are all three and the extremely rich (9 figures) are at least two of these three.
