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.

ON REPARATIONS

Never banter with white folk about reparations. It’s like arguing with your boss about wages they haven’t paid you. The only acceptable answer, whether they can give it or not, is “Yeah… You right!” Anything less from them is pure toxicity.

Rigged Legal System

Search words: Rigged Legal System, Gauntlet of oppression, racial profiling throughout  Years ago on jury duty, I was asked to render a ‘fair and impartial’ judgement regarding a young Black man accused of possession on the Upper East Side. There were only two Black people on the jury, myself and another dude. After a very long time, we ended up finding the defendant guilty. That’s the end of the story but not the narrative. The twelve main things I came to realize: 1. Several Black potential jurors were citing a mantra about their unwillingness to participate in a prejudiced judicial system. It was my first time hearing it but should I be called again, I’ll google it and voice my objection in the same way. 2. The suspect was stopped for a broken taillight, but as his wife said when she examined their car at the station, the light was never broken. 3. The white judge, however, ruled that the bust was still legit even though he was clearly stopped for drivin...

WHOEVER CONTROLS THE MEDIA CONTROLS THE NARRATIVE

WHOEVER CONTROLS THE MEDIA CONTROLS THE NARRATIVE White cops NEVER leak to the press that they’re now investigating specific members (by name) of the Aryan Brotherhood. When it’s them, the investigation is ALWAYS ongoing. But when it’s us, they ‘leak’ that Sandra was ‘suicidal’, Cyntoia and Mike Brown and Marissa Alexander were ‘no Angels’, Korryn was ‘unstable’, King was a philanderer, Trayvon engaged in ground n pound because he watched ultimate fighting on tv (or how the media runs with his dad saying that the blood-curdling scream heard on the 911 call of a neighbor was NOT his son. The last time we heard our son give a piercing scream was when he was slightly colicky at 3months old!). Or it was leaked that grandma Eleanor Bumpers came at the armed and armored cops with a kitchen knife so they had to shoot during the no-knock raid on the wrong home. Or the leak that Sean Bell shot at cops first on eve before his wedding day. Or the leak that Tawana Brawley did...
