Dr. Wilson was a genius and ahead of his time. Most of our scholars are.

His idea about self worth and identity is critical. Collectivism, cultural consciousness and the other things that come from having a beneficial group identity are important.

They lead to subconscious bonds that counteract all the c00nery we see, for instance, the concept of being "on code".

We losing in the fourth quarter because we are the only group which refuses to unite in a politically beneficial manner.

I agree. We have the I got mine. You get yours mentality. No one goes to war alone. You need an army and the army must be united by common thought process. That's what I love about his notions on culture. It teaches you how to think and also how to relate to each other.

not only that, but alot of us have this, if it aint white it aint right concept beaten into us.

for instance, this obsession with the "left" and the "right" when anyone with their thinking cap on understands that neither of those concepts or ideologies is beneficial to us in whole.

theres alot of other examples, but yea. im glad we agree.

I think it somes ways Rap music content and themes stresses individual power or success. Some of it might be a distorted capitalistic view.

You can have armies with service members differing pints of views.

You got liberal voting military members vs conservative voting members

I agree with Dr. Wilson @1:40 No individual power without maximizing group power

Reminds me of when #ADOS movement co-founder Yvette Carnell stresses "collective uplift"
Wow :mjlol: oil and water but if you say so
