 🤔 wow Im flattered how much you assume you know me…
 I’m sure that $20k made them whole after losing everything… I don’t give two shits who the government gives money to you asshat my argument was with the division of race and equality for all Americans not just the black community but all the poor communities and opportunities for everyone not just one race because of bullshit history that didn’t directly effect your person.. Your arguments will only perpetuate the issue to another race down the line when you only want better for one race over another…

 I just don’t understand why it’s such an issue for black Americans to ask for wrongs to be made right … especially when it was done for others. It sucks feeling lesser than knowing historically we as a people are supposed to feel that way. Not all whites owned slaves but the government benefited from it and went out of their way to make sure we never gained a  solid footing afterwards. 

I hate that this has turned into name calling. I’m not a statist, a reverse racist, or separatist. My life doesn’t suck, my needs are met, and I don’t feel oppressed. I love America and I’m proud to be a black American. I understand the history of my people and see how gov propaganda has ushered us as a collective into our current predicament. 

I see Bitcoin as a solution. I was making a statement about that because what’s currently being proposed is unattainable. Tomorrow is new day. Have a good one.
