Exactly, I’m very fortunate to be one of those people. The most humble and honest and hardest working man I’ve ever known. Even he saw no color and never made an excuse. He busted his *** and made something out of life when the deck was 100% stacked against him. I will forever honor and cherish the moments I had with that manDo you know how hard it is to find someone old enough to have had parents that were slaves?

And now they’re coming back to retake west Adams, Boyle heights, Inglewood, etc.
University park (usc) up thru west Adams are full of mansions with slave quarters. They won’t put that in REALTOR NOTES THOUGH.

Good vibes man it’s hard for me to listen I get chills every time. this first celeb death that really has me messed up he was a really good dude helped out my boy with his music career years ago tooNever really got into his music unfortunately.. I’m not into a lot of rap.
Extremely sad to see the loss of someone genuinely doing good for the youth of tomorrow and people on the grind.
shottadru and @nawghtyhare tried putting me on prolly around a year ago.. said he was one of the coldest in the rap game. I know it’s probably too late now but **** it imma dig into the catalog tomorrow at work.
RIP.

A 36 year old white man wants us to believe that a elderly black man in his late 60s, child of former slaves, took him under his wing, raised him, and taught him the ways of downplaying systemic racism and hardcore personal responsibility.
Like his childhood was on some...
I believe none of it.

****s crazy. I know in Boyle Heights they’ve been trying to resist it. The gentrifiers haven’t been treated with open arms to say the least lol.
Inglewood a lot of older heads sold their places, cashed out and moved. I lived right around that way for most my life Hawthorne/Lawndale area but all the business I did was in Inglewood. Between that stadium and space x, prices are insane.
I’ve heard that stuff about university park too smh. What’s crazy about USC is how it’s pretty much it’s own little isolated bubble smack in the middle of the hood.

Not to disrespect your father figure or anything but the point people are attempting to make is that "personal accountability" and "pull yourselves up by your bootstraps" work better as arguments when the sociological playing field is more level.
Can you REALLY not picture, situationally, why it might be more difficult for a young black person in Compton to overcome the absolute devastation of their environment as opposed to maybe a working class young white person in Pittsburgh?

Really.
Define American Slavery, Dred Scott, and the effects of such on the Black experience in America.
Go ahead.

Here's a great article that outlines the legacy of slavery and white supremacy and how the evils of both leak into the present day black experience

There’s root causal factors to everything. You want answers to why things are a certain way you’ll find them if you go back far enough.
