Today marks the 30th Anniversary of the Million Man March. What impact has it left on the community 30 years later?

You can just look at the state of the world & see that the man is still up to no good

I think Louis Farrakhan did a yeoman's job of trying to address the myriad issues going on in the Black community. I remember the build up to the first million man march and the positive energy around was palpable despite the excessive violence going on in the streets.

With that said we didn't make the most of this opportunity. We felt good and started some good things but we did not carry that momentum forward. But there were people who I know who did change their life for the better after those marches.

I was hoping that we would work together more after those Marches and as a collective we really didn't.

Again I think people had sky high expectations, I mean the internet barely existed at the time. I linked up (pause) with some brothers from Cleveland and they went to a club during their trip ( they did observe the no spending on non Black businesses on the day) maybe they went back to Cleveland and did great things maybe they didn't but again if they pledged to spent at Black owned businesses where they could that is a massive improvement.

I'm gonna keep it a buck if you're Black and successful and you stay in this country there's a 75% chance that your great grandson will be white.

In all honesty, there are small groups of Black people in this country who have pooled their resources and have their own little private circles with political connections, they just don't include nor welcome just anybody in their circle because not everyone is qualified to be in their circle. The idea that "the haves" look at the "have nots" as "not everyone can be saved and most won't make it." And this is why they are not advertised in a way that everyone is aware that they exist.

I won’t say how I know who I know, but I’m more aware than you realize.



And I realize anyone can say that, but yeah…



I know people with long bread and very high connections. Borrow your private jet, just bought a Lambo this week money. My goal is to be in that circle soon.
