FOLLOW THE MONEY AND THE RACISM

So many white people and the Black folk who worship them just go by what the racist media spews out.


Meanwhile, they conveniently fail to mention the HORRORS of white savagery all around!


For example, their media says that the Black Baller shoe is garbage and that’s what we Black folk regurgitate...


and it somehow makes us feel good to say the negative because that’s what we’ve been conditioned to do all of our lives!


Some science even says that our mistrust and disdain for any fellow Black woman or man’s progress is now embedded in our DNA. 


I can’t speak on that but we’ve ALL seen how the Black critics and haters come on so strong that the white ones barely have time to lift a finger!


I read SHOE DOG by Phil Town of Nike fame. He described his shoe in his own words earlier on as garbage!


You’d put them on and they broke apart on your foot as soon as you started running.They didn’t remain garbage because he found a better and cheaper manufacturer overseas.


The money and credentials he started out with came from the equity on the family home and his head coach of some fame partnering with him.


Guess what? We don’t have ANY of that because racism bars it! Do you know how the Bookers got their place? They had a white family pretend to be them until the signing.


And when the Black Bookers came out to sign the purchase, the realtor punched their lawyer in the face! Where he lived changed the direction of Corey Booker’s life!


But white media and their narrative mentions equity like it’s an option everyone has, and that type of savagery is subtle and disingenuous and EVIL!


Being white means more bank loans readily available. Try showing up in a manufacturing plant in Japan or the Philippines with just a suit and your Black face and see how far that gets you!


Their media will talk about his boasting, but that’s marketing...except if you’re a Black woman or man...then it’s being uppity.


And I don’t have time to go into many of their manipulative tricks so let’s jump right into the money!


Nike pays Jordan 100 million a year in endorsements. That’s more money than he EVER made during his entire 15+ years in the NBA! The bulk (63 million) came in his final seasons.


Now let’s do some race math:


Air Jordan’s cost $100 (conservative estimate. If 10 million shoes are bought each year (again conservative estimate), that’s $100x 10 million = 1 billion that Nike grosses.


1 billion 

- 100 million (Jordan’s fee)

- $2 materials cost per shoe

- $2 labor/manufacturing cost per

- $2 shipping per shoe 

- $2 advertising per shoe 

- $2 miscellaneous per shoe because this is not my field (keep in mind that these figures are extremely conservative)

———————————————-

1 billion gross - 100 million (Jordan’s fee) - ($10 per shoe x 10 million or another 100 million)

= 800 million net and once the system’s up, it’s turnkey, meaning it runs itself.


The same is true of the NFL where we’re 70% of the players but STILL kowtow to white management with no talent and all of the power! It’s like Chris Rock says, rich is LeBron; wealthy is the white guy who signs his check!


It’s like there’s some sort of spell preventing folk from seeing the obvious. Either we break the spell or the spell breaks us.


Can’t wait ‘til we have our own media. Everything changes.

WE DEAL WITH RACISM ON ALL FRONTS

WE DEAL WITH RACISM ON ALL FRONTS We deal with systemic racism on all fronts. We mentor; we start programs to protect our kids; we fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres patrolling and brutalizing Black spaces who funnel in the drugs and the guns with impunity then lock up our kids for having (or using) them. And where do kids get guns for drive-bys? (Rhetorical) And do an inordinate amount of crimes occur in Black spaces in Baltimore and Detroit and L.A. as opposed to NY because Black folk in our city have more character and higher morals? (Also rhetorical) It’s because cops are not allowed to pump these things in here! We do have CHILD rape rings here which rival Florida, Texas and possibly even California (California is a dense, big state). We need to fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres patrolling and brutalizing Black spaces! And regarding the white people and the Black folk who worship them who aid systemic racism through complicity, ignorance and arrog...

REPENTING OF RACISM

REPENTING OF RACISM Racism means that firing ALL of the white cops from elsewheres patrolling Black spaces who hashtag, frame, brutalize, flood our streets with drugs and guns and whisk our kids away in CHILD rape rings to them and to others is considered ‘radical’ and ‘racist’, needing more ‘moderate’ measures like bodycams, civilian oversight and liability insurance instead, because the underlying racist premise that we’re programmed to think but NEVER (or rarely) say is that we are incapable of policing ourselves and that white cops from elsewheres are the last bastion of defense against utter chaos in our streets. But let just one cop do to them a fraction of what’s been done to us and the whole world 🌍 upends where they’ll fire, suspend or ban an entire precinct - including its chief - for the ill action of just one or two. To maintain this delusion, they have back to back cop and lawyer shows running 24/7 on tv along with a media and legal system that obfusca...

WE CANNOT COMPETE WITH THEIR NARRATIVES

 We cannot compete with their national narratives. If they say that Black men are being wooed by 45 in record numbers and we say ‘not true’, we’re in denial. If we point out his overwhelming white supporters, we’re blame shifting. And once the story’s out there, the sheep will immediately bleat a response without giving the premise much thought. It’s because he chose a Black woman VP and we Black men hate that. It’s because 45’s brand of bucking the system appeals to us. It’s because we’re disenchanted with Obama. In short, they can say whatever they want and we’ll keep falling for the same shtick again and again. It’s how Chappelle can go on a crack binge in Africa because he balked at their not paying him according to his contract. How Marissa Alexander, a victim of spousal abuse which put her in the hospital in the past is deemed ‘no Angel’. Or how a kid, just trying to get home is murdered by a stalker, while the media blames his watching MMA on TV and the hoodie that he wore. ...
