Feb 11 Their Most Powerful Tool Is Our Own Ignorance

When they can no longer financially control you, you become a substantial threat to the status quo.

It starts with a financial education.

We can no longer keep preaching to the choir that they don’t teach financial education in the school system. Since it is more of a passive conversation with no teeth.

You have two choices: to lobby your local politicians and school boards to make a change OR teach financial education in your own home, or both.

In either case, this will require a financial education on your part, which seems to be missing in almost 95% of all households. Now, I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but I would like to offer that the reasons for not teaching them are more detrimental to a specific segment of society than some politicians flipped belief — that a financial education doesn’t matter in the 21st century.

Between the years, 1740 and 1834 in the states of Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, they all passed anti-literacy laws. South Carolina prohibited teaching slaves to read and write, punishable by a fine of 100 pounds and six months in prison, via an amendment to its 1739 Negro Act.

1819, Missouri: Prohibited assembling or teaching slaves to read or write

1829, Georgia: Prohibited teaching blacks to read, punished by fine and imprisonment

1832, Alabama and Virginia: Prohibited whites from teaching blacks to read or write, punished by fines and floggings

1833, Georgia: Prohibited blacks from working in reading or writing jobs (via an employment law), and prohibited teaching blacks, punished by fines and whippings (via an anti-literacy law)

One could argue that if one is financially educated, they will be less susceptible to financial control or political manipulation. Therefore, they are less likely to fall in line with the constant news spin from the controlled media outlets.

Simply ask yourself the question, what advantages are there to controlling the messages you see and hear, and then attach this thought — perhaps you are no more than a consumer that abandons all common sense, and quickly spends the pamper money on commerce in the economy that the powers that be create and control.

By not controlling and commanding your finances, you are more likely to become a consumer as opposed to becoming a producer, where you can finance whatever dream you want and can afford to tune out the effects of the bullhorn that’s constantly screaming, “You aren’t enough”

Media and subliminal messaging attack the psyche on a psychological level

Often leaving the general populace ill-informed and primed to consume whatever material matter they are selling.

Freedom is a very subjective belief depending on your own popular version of what it means to be free. True freedom, in my opinion, comes from the ability to be in control of your own behavior and resources, unencumbered by any outside forces, whatsoever.

If we are on a solid financial footing, we are less likely to report to the factory, ready to give an ounce of blood for a bread crumb.

Our relationships are likely to become progressively better.

I have seen many relationships squandered over fractured finances

As it is commonly known that 20 percent of the 50 percent of divorce rates are due to financial pressures. So, one can’t help imagine what the black and brown landscape would look like if finance was never a question on both the female and males behalf.

What if they never bombed Tulsa, Oklahoma?

What if black Wall Street was allowed to exist?

Now, the sad part is I have to use the word, ALLOWED.

The infection of high finance etiquette and business would be the norm.

Add to the fact, the legalities of owning trademarks and patents — our creations would have reshaped every invention that was ever stolen, and given undue credit to a thievery of grave proportions.

Perhaps we would still own Hip Hop and the media outlets that surround it

Instead of dealing with the rubbish that makes us weak by watering down the purpose in the music so those children who are more susceptible to follow have emptiness in their airwaves.

It is widely known that we use music to communicate messages.

So, if you kill the messages and the music in itself, you kill the messenger.

Just look at how many leaders were destroyed because of their opinion and our lack of control of our narratives. I have found that the race to supremacy is a very cutthroat passageway and the powers that be are very narcissistic and racially divided. And certain folks in the populace become very insecure among them when another faction becomes financially secure.

The fact is when we don’t need their product or information they are selling, it hurts their pocket books. This causes the meeting in the stuffy back rooms of capitalism that conspire to poison the very unity of the fist that struck a blow for their own independence.

This is when you see them legalize marijuana but make the barrier to entry extremely high but at the same time spit in the faces of the incarcerated by leaving them grandfathered into long prison terms based on the simple actions of them changing their greedy minds and seeing the cash flow in it.

Furthering this agenda of keeping financial educations out of school stretches its tentacles into the family because had the family had a financial chance, perhaps their marriages would have a 70% percent success rate since 40% of the 50% divorce rate happens due to finances.

Now could you imagine if finances weren’t a problem in the equation at all?

There would be a substantial trickle down effect, particularly in the raising of our children, especially since both parents would be involved in the parenting process at all times.

What would our neighborhoods look like if our children had better and more opportunities produced by better and more present parenting?

What would our relationships look like as a whole, not just intimate relationships? Our entire communication would change as a people. There would be more unity as a whole due to the fact that people raised by love give and show more love.

Having a general understanding of the stock market, real estate investing, and business taught in schools at an early age would create more wealth at earlier stages. This would foster better neighborhoods and better employment opportunities for all, not just the majority

As well as put a much-needed equalization in the system.

The lopsided celebration that we see when one black or brown makes it to a higher station is a pacifier at best. Because instead of seeing the racial makeup of all CEO’s dominated by our caucasian counter parts being a ratio of 99 to 1

We would see an equal split in the racial divide where a child from the inner city can see his own reflection and not feel inferior because he knows he is underrepresented.

As of now every political agenda and body, publicly traded corporation, and legal representation as well as the judicial system is controlled by the greater financial white America.

So, the question has to be phrased

How would you feel if all you see and all you heard was carried or underlined by a line of exclusion?

And it’s not just financial, it’s an entitlement that wreaks of the stench of oppression and Jim Crowisms and backroom conversations that say, if we let one up they will be satisfied, but make sure they don’t have a battery in their back because then they will all want equal footing.

By not being included in the educational process, the production of controlling our own resources it’s stops the conversation or the conversion of what we see and desire as change, into something more laughable by those who sit in their ivory towers throwing us crumbs.

The crumbs I speak of is a black president that is gridlocked for 8 years by both the senate and congress.

This is the constant control we exist in, where the rules are determined by the opposing squad as they flaunt our plays in our faces because they have our playbook. This is why financial education, instead of celebration, has to mantra.

Because it’s not the system’s fault when we decided to perpetuate a generational ignorance that has us systemically traveling back in times.

No one made us spend our last check on looking good instead of being good.

This birth is our own creation.

It was the Willie Lynch tactics that made us hate each other, but it was our own ignorance that misplaced the lesson.

Our Jewish community is a perfect example of a powerful financial movement and a symbolism of unity.

Once the bread is ready, the pie is divided, and the community prospers.

In my humble opinion, it’s time to stop pointing fingers because nothing stops us from pooling resources and getting into higher positions in society where a difference can be made.

It is as simple as a thought that creates the desire to progress as a people

Instead of this solo attitude of outdoing the next person, or having more, or being better than the next, which causes more division than unity.

This is nothing more than the new money behavior of buying everything in sight, suffering from the I ain’t never had nothing syndrome, which is the common denominator between oppression and self-regression.

The bottom line is, change begins at home.

Stop waiting for folks to give you or do something for you that you can do for yourself and families.

Their most powerful tool is our own ignorance.

Our most powerful tool is knowledge.

We decide how long the ignorance lasts.

The day we decide to use our resilience for building communities, business and wealth, instead of just surviving the times

We will fall in line with what the creature had in store for us all.
