[HERESY]

About 35 million African Americans living in 8.7 million families represent 12.3% of the U.S. population. Married couples comprise 48% of black families. Women with no spouse present head 44% of households. Two-thirds of families include children under 18.

African-American consumers are projected to spend $572 billion in 2001, the equivalent of the 11th largest economy in the world. New York, California, Texas and Florida account for 35% of African-American-owned businesses. Nationwide, blacks own 4% of the 21 million non-farm businesses.

Black consumers are the most brand loyal. About 64% will pay more for premium or brand-name products and 32% only buy established brands. Blacks reportedly make the most visits to grocery stores, averaging 2.2 trips each week.


The most avid fans of football and basketball are African Americans. Black men make up the largest fan base. They comprise 58% of National Football League fans; 52% of National Basketball Association fans; 41% of college basketball fans; and 39% of college football fans.

HERESY,
YOU STRESSED, "the majority of money blacks spend is on entertainment. the majority of the entertainment consists of MOVIES and movie rentals,cd's etc etc etc. a lot of black people are in the entertainment industry. im saying you need to support who needs to be supported. dont support amos & andy. i wouldnt. instead of spending billions of dollars on the entertainment and fads we need to spend in other places.

I KNOW WHAT YOU SAYIN', BUT THE THANg IS, WE ARE IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY AND TELLIN' MUTHA-FUKAS TO QUIT SUPPORTIN' US IS NOT gONNA HELP N-E. IF N-E-THANg, WE SHOULD INSURE AS ENTERTAINERS THAT WE ARE THE ONES gETTIN' PAID AT THE END OF THE DAY, AND THAT BLAK DOLLARS ARE RECEIVED BY BLAK FOLK, THUS STARTIN' A CIRCULATION.

YOU STRESSED, "you have black owned businessess. you dont have A LOT but you do have them. from banks to car dealerships to furniture stores (my brother owns a furniture store). most blacks DONT own shit because they SPEND SPEND SPEND instead of INVESTING. you are right a lot of cats DO want the hook up. instead of hooking them up with free goods hook them up with INFO.
YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUgH BLAK BUSINESSES AND THAT'S FOR SURE. BUT BLAK FOLK DO WANT THE HOOK UP CAUSE WE AIN'T gOT THAT MUCH AND I gUESS IT'S A SENSE OF BROTHA-HOOD. REgARDLESS, MONEY SHOULD CIRCULATE AND IT AIN'T. ON ANOTHA NOTE, WHETHER IT'S BLAK OWNED OR PRIVATELY OWNED, IT ALL gETS THREATENED BY BIg CORPORATIONS CAUSE THEY COME WITH THE BARgAINS AND TAKE OVER. LOL @ HOOKIN' THEM UP WITH INFO.

YOU STRESSED, "which is why ***WE*** need to make it a PRIORITY. if we are looking for white america (MEANING THE AMERICAN ELITE/GOVERNMENT) to make it a PRIORITY it will NEVER happen. if the public school system isnt working (its not) pull your kids OUT and HOMESCHOOL.

EASIER SAID THAN DONE. SCHOOL NOWADAYS IS JUST A FORM OF BABYSITTIN', SO IS PRISON.

YOU STRESSED, "of course we arent all making babies. i dont have a child of my own. however when a BLACK MAN creates a FAMILY and steps out on that FAMILY it leads to DESTRUCTION. what that shows is LACK of leadership on HIS part, lack of PRIORITIES and lack of RESPECT/DIGNITY. i dont care what you see OTHER people doing.....YOU (not you personally) dont need to do it.

when a BLACK MAN walks out on his black FAMILY that HE created its WORSE than a SLAVE MASTER breaking up slave families and selling the members to different plantations.

THAT IS FUCCED UP BUT PEOPLE WHO DO IT DON'T THINK ABOUT IT LIKE THAT. IT'S MORE OF A SELFISH ATTITUDE. BUT FOLK THAT SEE OTHA PEOPLE DOIN' SHIT IS gONNA WANNA FIT IN SOMEHOW. YOU CAN SAY "SIMPLY DON'T DO WHAT OTHERS DO" BUT AS STATED BEFORE, "EASIER SAID THAN DONE".

YOU STRESSED, "no it can be addressed to ANYONE actually. a group or an individual. simply put most americans dont have FAMILY VALUES or MORALS.

why is it more acceptable to have illicit sex?

1.society promotes it

2.entertainment promotes it

3.we continue to do it

we do this yet we have people telling us that MORE BLACK MEN AND WOMEN ARE DYING OF AIDS/HIV.

WE DO THIS YET STATISTIC SHOWS THAT THE MAJORITY OF BROKEN HOMES (SINGLE PARENT) ARE BLACK.

SO IF IT'S A CYCLE, HOW CAN IT BE BROKEN? HOW DO YOU LACE THESE YOUNg FOO'S? HOW DO YOU STOP THE INDUSTRY FROM PROMOTIN' IT? IN HONESTY, IT CAN'T BE STOPPED. IT'S AN INDIVIDUAL THANg.

YOU STRESSED, "its not easier said than done. you answered HOW to do it with 1 and x (2).

EDUCATION is key. once again education is a factor. pick up a book and READ! if you plan on buying a keyboard (synthesizer) you dont just go buy one. you consult someone who KNOWS what the hell they are talking about or you RESEARCH and APPLY that research when YOU make the purchase.



NETWORKING MAKING CONTACTS IS THE WAY TO GO.

HOW DO YOU FIgURE IT AIN'T EASIER SAID THAN DONE? IT'S QUITE OBVIOUS. I SAID TWO MORE THANgS THAT ARE EASIER SAID THAN DONE. JUST CAUSE I STRESSED TWO THANgS, DON'T MEAN THAT IT'S gONNA HAPPEN LIKE THAT WITH A SNAP OF MY FINgERS, DO IT?
JUST LIKE WHEN I DO BUY A KEYBOARD AND READ THE MANUAL. READIN' TAKES TIME AND ENERgY. AM I gONNA INVEST TIME TO READ, WHEN? AM I gONNA COMPREHEND WHAT I READ OR MISINTERPET( LIKE WHAT HERESY DOES WITH THE HOLY SCRIPTURES)<<<JUST PLAYIN'>>>?
YOU STRESSED, "well for *you* it may simply be an idea thats easier said than done but for A LOT of peeps i have come across its DONE. if my nephew can come to me and ask me about investing his money in tangibles surely YOU or ANYONE else can invest. thats a COP OUT. thats a "poor mouth". thats the "i aint got shit i neva will be shit" bullshit that they feed us and WE believe it......

i understand that the majority of rap consumers are white. i have done the Demographic for my album. i basically know WHO to sell to out of THAT market. ITS A *FACT* THAT BLACK PEOPLE SPEND MORE TIME WATCHING TV THAN READING. IN REGARDS TO COMPUTERS HOW MANY BLACK PEOPLE THAT YOU KNOW OF CAN EXPLAIN LINNUX AND WHAT IT IS? OF ALL THE PHREAKERS,BREAKERS,HACKERS AND CRACKERS I HAVE CAME ACROSS ONLY 2 OF THEM WERE BLACK (AND ONE OF THE BLACK GUYS IS A WIZARD WITH THIS SHIT). IS IT "FUNNY" WHEN YOUR CHILD IS 5 YEARS OLD,SINGING THE LATEST JAY Z JIGGA SONG? IS IT FUNNY WHEN THAT CHILD SINGS THAT SONG YET THE CHILD CANT COUNT TO 100 OR SAY HIS ABC's AND IDENTIFY BASIC COLORS?"

DON'T gO TWISTIN' MY WORDS AND MIXXIN' QUOTES LIKE I MEANT TO ADDRESS THAT ISSUE WITH THE THE OTHA QUOTE. EVERYTHANg IN LIFE IS EASIER SAID THAN DONE. THAT DON'T MEAN IT CAN'T BE ACHIEVED OR THAT IT HASN'T. ALL I'M STRESSIN' IS THAT MUTHA-FUKAS BUMP THEY gUMS MOST OF THE TIME INSTEAD OF ACTIN' ON IT. I AIN'T ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE.

BUT I'M ALREADY KNOWIN' WHO YOU gONNA MARKET YOUR MUSIC TO SO DO YOUR THANg PLAYA. BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT LINNUXX IS NOR DO I FEEL I NEED TO KNOW CAUSE IT DON'T AFFECT MY LIFE. IF FOR SOME REASON I FEEL I HAVE TO LEARN IT TO gET SOMETHIN' ACCOMPLISHED IN MY LIFE, THEN I WILL.
BUT WHO'S FAULT IS IT IF THE CHILD CAN'T COUNT BUT SINgIN' SONgS?
YOU STRESSED, "YOU DONT SEE THIS AS REALITY???? YOU THINK BLACKS ARE HANDLING BUSINESS ON THE SCALE OF WHITES? LMAO!!!!!! NEGROES ARE NOWHERE NEAR WHITE AMERICA. YOU DONT THINK NIGGAS ARE IN THE SHIT HOLE? LOOK AROUND YOU. YES YOU HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE UP BUT WHY IS IT THAT THE MAJORITY OF OUR PEOPLE ARE DOWN??????

LOOK CUZZ, THE TABLES WERE NEVER EVEN FROM JUMP AND WE STILL SUFFERIN' REPERCUSSIONS FROM THE PAST. REALITY IS WE AS A PEOPLE ARE WEAK IN STRUCTURE. THAT DON'T MEAN WE PIECES OF SHIT. AND WE DOWN CAUSE OF A LOT OF SHIT MENTIONED AND WE CONTINUE THE CYCLE.

YOU STRESSED, "like who? the rockefellers? pay attention to the next post.

SUBURBANITES, LIL WHITE KIDS PLAYIN' ON THE COMPUTER ALL DAY, AND A FEW OTHAS. AND I'M JUST REPLYIN' TO THIS POST. I RARELY gO INTO THE FORUM.

1.I WOULD RATHER SPEND MY MONEY ON A GOOD THING THAN A BAD THING. QUIT SUPPORTING AMOS AND ANDY. I WILL SAY THAT ALL DAY LONG. I ALSO PRACTICE IT. I DONT SUPPORT AMOS AND ANDY. SO LETS TAKE THE MUSIC BIZ FOR EXAMPLE. WHY ARENT PEOPLE GETTING PAID? WHY DO BLACKS COMPRISE ALMOST 90% OF THE MUSIC BIZ YET DOWN OWN 10% OF THE WEALTH? WHY IS IT THAT BLACK ARTIST KNOW HOW TO ***READ*** THE RAPS THEY WRITE YET THEY CANT ***READ*** A CONTRACT AND UNDERSTAND A SUNSET CLAUSE????? OR A 10% OVER AND UNDER?????

YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUgH BLAK BUSINESSES AND THAT'S FOR SURE. BUT BLAK FOLK DO WANT THE HOOK UP CAUSE WE AIN'T gOT THAT MUCH AND I gUESS IT'S A SENSE OF BROTHA-HOOD.

"you want to hide something from a black man put it in a book"

thats TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!! INFO ON *HOW* TO DO SOMETHING *WHEN* TO DO IT AND *WHY* TO DO IT CAN LEAD TO SUCCESS IF APPLIED. yes business gets threatened by big corps. which is why we need to STOP spending with the big corps and spend with US.

EASIER SAID THAN DONE. SCHOOL NOWADAYS IS JUST A FORM OF BABYSITTIN', SO IS PRISON.

public shchool? yes. home schooling and chartering? no.

THAT IS FUCCED UP BUT PEOPLE WHO DO IT DON'T THINK ABOUT IT LIKE THAT. IT'S MORE OF A SELFISH ATTITUDE. BUT FOLK THAT SEE OTHA PEOPLE DOIN' SHIT IS gONNA WANNA FIT IN SOMEHOW. YOU CAN SAY "SIMPLY DON'T DO WHAT OTHERS DO" BUT AS STATED BEFORE, "EASIER SAID THAN DONE".

1.they NEED to start thinking PERIOD.

2.I DONT FOLLOW ANY MANS LEAD. I DO MY OWN THING. I DONT SEE FOOLS WITH A TRITON AND SAY "OH HE HAS A TRITON I NEED ONE OF THOSE". I DONT SEE FOOLS AND SAY "HE HAS GOLD TEETH I NEED SOME OF THOSE". I DONT DO WHAT "THE CROWD" IS DOING.......IM OVERE **HERE**.......THEY ARE ------>THERE.

HOW DO YOU FIgURE IT AIN'T EASIER SAID THAN DONE? IT'S QUITE OBVIOUS. I SAID TWO MORE THANgS THAT ARE EASIER SAID THAN DONE. JUST CAUSE I STRESSED TWO THANgS, DON'T MEAN THAT IT'S gONNA HAPPEN LIKE THAT WITH A SNAP OF MY FINgERS, DO IT?

GET YOUR ASS UP!!! START MAKING IT HAPPEN!

"NIGGA GET OFF YA ASS IF YOU WANNA BE RICH"~MAKAVELLI

"GET YA ASS UP AND GO TO WORK"~ICE CUBE

MAN YOU HAVE TO PUT IN **WORK**.

SO IF IT'S A CYCLE, HOW CAN IT BE BROKEN? HOW DO YOU LACE THESE YOUNg FOO'S? HOW DO YOU STOP THE INDUSTRY FROM PROMOTIN' IT? IN HONESTY, IT CAN'T BE STOPPED. IT'S AN INDIVIDUAL THANg.

THATS LIKE SAYING YOU CANT STOP SMOKING YAYO. HOW DO YOU LACE THEM? GIVE THEM INFO ABOUT *WHO* THEY ARE AND *WHAT* THEY ARE. INFO IS KEY. NOT USELESS INFO BUT REAL INFO.

JUST LIKE WHEN I DO BUY A KEYBOARD AND READ THE MANUAL. READIN' TAKES TIME AND ENERgY. AM I gONNA INVEST TIME TO READ, WHEN? AM I gONNA COMPREHEND WHAT I READ OR MISINTERPET( LIKE WHAT HERESY DOES WITH THE HOLY SCRIPTURES)<<<JUST PLAYIN'>>>?

I DIDNT MIX ANYTHING. I ACTUALLY *EDITED* THE ORIGINAL POST BECAUSE THE QUOTES WERE INTERTWINED. OK SO IF IT *CAN* BE ACHIEVED WHY NOT TRY TO DO IT? I HAD PEOPLE ON *THIS* BOARD. A FELLOW "BLACK MALE" TRYING TO HOLD ME BACK AND TELL ME WHAT I SHOULD AND SHOULDNT DO. WHAT I WILL AND WONT DO WHAT I CAN AND CANT DO. WHY SHOULD I TAKE IT INTO CONSIDERATION? I KNOW WHAT I AM DOING AND ITS MORE THAN ***ANY*** WILL ***EVER*** ACCOMPLISH. YOU HAVE TO GET OUT AND DO. ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT. LETS TAKE MUSIC FOR EXAMPLE. YOU CAN MAKE A CD AFTER THAT YOU HAVE THESE CHOICES.

1.RELEASE THE CD YOURSELF,ATTEMPT TO BUILD UP A FOLLOWING AND GET A DISTRIBUTION DEAL.

2.STUDY THE MARKET,UNDERSTAND ECONOMICS,STUDY YOUR DEMOGRAPHIC AND SHOP YOUR CD TO A MAJOR LABEL,ALONG WITH YOUR BUSINESS PROPOSAL AND INFO ON THE MARKET?

WHICH ONE REQUIRES BRAIN POWER.....WHICH ONE REQUIRES MUSCLE?

BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT LINNUXX IS NOR DO I FEEL I NEED TO KNOW CAUSE IT DON'T AFFECT MY LIFE. IF FOR SOME REASON I FEEL I HAVE TO LEARN IT TO gET SOMETHIN' ACCOMPLISHED IN MY LIFE, THEN I WILL.

I BARELY KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT I WANT TO HAVE A STABLE OS FOR MY MUSIC (PC OR MAC RECORDING) SO IM LOOKING INTO PROGRAMMERS WHO DEVELOP MUSIC APPS FOR LINNUX (VIRTUALLY NONE AT THE TIME)

BUT WHO'S FAULT IS IT IF THE CHILD CAN'T COUNT BUT SINgIN' SONgS?

THE PARENTS.

LOOK CUZZ, THE TABLES WERE NEVER EVEN FROM JUMP AND WE STILL SUFFERIN' REPERCUSSIONS FROM THE PAST. REALITY IS WE AS A PEOPLE ARE WEAK IN STRUCTURE. THAT DON'T MEAN WE PIECES OF SHIT. AND WE DOWN CAUSE OF A LOT OF SHIT MENTIONED AND WE CONTINUE THE CYCLE.

IM NOT SAYING WE ARE PIECES OF SHIT. THATS WHY IM SAYING THAT WE NEED TO START EDUCATING OURSELVES AND SPENDING MONEY WITH *US*. I SAW A LATINO PERSON ON *THIS* SITE SAY TO HIS FELLOW LATINO. "IF WE DONT SUPPORT OUR OWN WHO WILL"

I SAW A WHITE GUY ON THIS SITE TELL A WHITE RAPPER ON THIS SITE "IF WE DONT SUPPORT OUR OWN WHO WILL"

***WE*** DONT SUPPORT ***US***. WE SPEND OUR MONEY ON BULLSHIT *THEY* PROMOTE.

I UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE A WEAK PEOPLE IN A POWERFUL STRUCTURE. THIS IS WHY I SAY ***EDUCATE** YOURSELF ABOUT ECONOMICS. EDUCATE YOURSELF ABOUT THE SYSTEM AND HOW IT WORKS.

IF I ***DIDNT*** CARE AND DIDNT WANT TO SEE MY PEOPLE WITH ANYTHING I WOULD TURN A BLIND EYE......I WOULDNT SAY ANYTHING. NOR WOULD I DO WHAT LITTLE I DO.

SUBURBANITES, LIL WHITE KIDS PLAYIN' ON THE COMPUTER ALL DAY, AND A FEW OTHAS. AND I'M JUST REPLYIN' TO THIS POST. I RARELY gO INTO THE FORUM.

HERESY,
YOU STRESSED, "1.I WOULD RATHER SPEND MY MONEY ON A GOOD THING THAN A BAD THING. QUIT SUPPORTING AMOS AND ANDY. I WILL SAY THAT ALL DAY LONG. I ALSO PRACTICE IT.

FOR CLARIFICATION PURPOSES, WHEN YOU REFER TO AMOS AND ANDY, WHO EXACTLY ARE YOU REFERRIN' TO? I'M JUST ENSURIN' WE ON THE SAME PAgE.

YOU STRESSED, "SO LETS TAKE THE MUSIC BIZ FOR EXAMPLE. WHY ARENT PEOPLE GETTING PAID? WHY DO BLACKS COMPRISE ALMOST 90% OF THE MUSIC BIZ YET DOWN OWN 10% OF THE WEALTH? WHY IS IT THAT BLACK ARTIST KNOW HOW TO ***READ*** THE RAPS THEY WRITE YET THEY CANT ***READ*** A CONTRACT AND UNDERSTAND A SUNSET CLAUSE????? OR A 10% OVER AND UNDER?????

1) PEOPLE AREN'T gETTIN' PAID CAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW THE BUSINESS THEY ARE IN.

X) SAME AS #1. ALSO CAUSE THESE VULTURES SEE THE TALENT IN BLAK ENTERTAINERS AND LEARN HOW TO WORK IF NOT EXPLOIT THEM.
3) CAUSE MOST PEOPLE DON'T WANNA TAKE THE TIME TO READ PAgES OF RHETORICAL SHIT AND LAK THE PATIENCE, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEIR HEAD IS BIg.
F) SAME AS AS #3

YOU STRESSED, "no it shouldnt be lol@ hooking them up with info. negroes DONT read. you ever heard the saying:

thats TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!! INFO ON *HOW* TO DO SOMETHING *WHEN* TO DO IT AND *WHY* TO DO IT CAN LEAD TO SUCCESS IF APPLIED. yes business gets threatened by big corps. which is why we need to STOP spending with the big corps and spend with US.
NO IT SHOULDN'T BE LIKE THAT BUT IT IS FUNNY THE WAY YOU STRESSED IT. THE CLOSEST I COME TO gIVIN' INFO IS SPITTIN' gAME AND LACIN' MUTHA-FUKAS BOOTS. AND I DO THAT IN MY LYRICS AS WELL AS IN MY EVERYDAY LIFE. BUT I'M NO PREACHA LOAK.
AND I HEARD THAT SAYIN' AND I FEEL IT'S SOME PREJUDICE SAYIN' SOME WHITEBOY CAME UP WITH BAK IN THE SLAVERY DAYS. BUT IT HOLDS SOME TRUTH TO IT, CAUSE A LOT OF BROTHAS DON'T BOTHER WITH IT, BUT AS I STRESSED, THAT'S AN INDIVIDUAL CHOICE.
AND IT'S TRUE ABOUT "IF" SOMETHIN' IS APPLIED. BUT HOW MANY BROTHAS APPLY THEMSELVES? AgAIN IT'S EASIER SAID THAN DONE.
AND IF MY FINANCES ARE LOW AND THIS BROTHA IS SLANgIN' TOMATOES FOR $5.00 A POUND AND IF I CAN gET THEM AT WALMART FOR $1.00 A POUND, WHO THE FUK YOU THINK I'M gONNA gO THRU? I WISH MY BROTHA TO SUCCEED, BUT IF CUZZ MILKIN' ME AND I CAN AVOID THAT AND SAVE SOME SCRILL, gUESS WHO I'M gONNA gO TO? SO SAYIN' "SPEND WITH US INSTEAD OF BIg CORP." ONCE AgAIN IS EASIER SAID THAN DONE.

YOU STRESSED, "public shchool? yes. home schooling and chartering? no.

I AgREE WITH PUBLIC SCHOOLS. HOME SCHOOLIN' AND CHARTERIN' IS ONCE AgAIN EASIER SAID THAN DONE. WHY? CAUSE IT TAKES TIME AND EFFORT THAT MOST LIKELY CAN'T BE ALLOCATED IN AN AVERAgE BLAK HOME OR N-E HOME FOR THAT MATTER.

YOU STRESSED, "1.they NEED to start thinking PERIOD.

2.I DONT FOLLOW ANY MANS LEAD. I DO MY OWN THING. I DONT SEE FOOLS WITH A TRITON AND SAY "OH HE HAS A TRITON I NEED ONE OF THOSE". I DONT SEE FOOLS AND SAY "HE HAS GOLD TEETH I NEED SOME OF THOSE". I DONT DO WHAT "THE CROWD" IS DOING.......IM OVERE **HERE**.......THEY ARE ------>THERE.

1) YES, MOST FOO'S NEED TO START THINKIN', ESPECIALLY FOR THEMSELVES.
X) gLAD TO HEAR YOU AIN'T A SEQUEL AND A FOLLOWER. THAT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE REASONS I FUK WITH YOUR ASS CUZZ. CAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NOTICE SHIT ABOUT ME(LIKE WHEN I CAME AND PAID YOU A FEW VISITS, BUT I KNOW YOU KNOW I DON'T FOLLOW EITHA. I'LL RIDE WITH A NIggA, BUT NEVA-EVA FOLLOW.
YOU STRESSED, "GET YOUR ASS UP!!! START MAKING IT HAPPEN!

"NIGGA GET OFF YA ASS IF YOU WANNA BE RICH"~MAKAVELLI

YOU STRESSED, "THATS LIKE SAYING YOU CANT STOP SMOKING YAYO. HOW DO YOU LACE THEM? GIVE THEM INFO ABOUT *WHO* THEY ARE AND *WHAT* THEY ARE. INFO IS KEY. NOT USELESS INFO BUT REAL INFO.

NAW, CAUSE YOU CONFUSIN' A gROUP OF PEOPLE TO AN INDIVIDUAL. INDIVIDUALLY, YOU CAN REHABILITATE. AS PEOPLE, YOU HAVE TOO MANY INDIVIDUALS THAT YOU CAN'T CONTROL. AND YOU CAN HOLLA, SPIT, LACE, SPRINKLE, AND DO WHATEVA ELSE TO SPREAD YOUR MESSAgE AND WORD, BUT THAT DON'T MEAN ALL ARE gONNA BE RECEPTIVE IF N-E.

OH, O.K, I WAS ABOUT TO CALL YOU A HIPOCRITE AND TELL YOU TO LEAVE MCLEANHATCH ALONE. LOL

YOU STRESSED, "OK SO IF IT *CAN* BE ACHIEVED WHY NOT TRY TO DO IT?

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT OTHA FOLKS, BUT I'M DOIN' WHAT I CAN. BUT REALISTICALLY, BROTHAS gOT ALL THESE OTHA DISTRACTIONS THAT THEY CAN'T FOCUS ON ACHIEVIN' SHIT, OR SETTIN' gOALS(gOIN' TO COURT, JAIL, BABY MAMA DRAMA, HOOD SHIT, ETC...) AND ALL THESE DISTRACTIONS JUST PUTS NIggAS IN HOLES TO WHERE WE EITHA STOP gIVIN' A FUK OR WE TOO WEAK TO HANLIT.

YOU STRESSED, "I HAD PEOPLE ON *THIS* BOARD. A FELLOW "BLACK MALE" TRYING TO HOLD ME BACK AND TELL ME WHAT I SHOULD AND SHOULDNT DO.
IS THAT RIgHT? WHAT WAS HIS NAME? WHAT WAS HIS LOgIC BEHIND THAT?

YOU STRESSED, "WHY SHOULD I TAKE IT INTO CONSIDERATION?
CAUSE MAYBE HE gOT A LITTLE gAME AND WANNA SHARE IT WITH YOU? OR HE JUST CONCERNED AS A BLAK MAN? OR HE FEELS SOMETHIN' ABOUT WHAT YOU DOIN'? I DON'T KNOW. WHAT YOU THINK?

YOU STRESSED, "I KNOW WHAT I AM DOING AND ITS MORE THAN ***ANY*** WILL ***EVER*** ACCOMPLISH.

N-E MEANIN' WHO? N-E-BODY, BLAK, MEX, WHITE, OR WHATEVA? AND WHAT IS YOU ACCOMPLISHIN' THAT IS MORE THAN WHAT N-E-BODY WILL EVA?

YOU STRESSED, "LETS TAKE MUSIC FOR EXAMPLE. YOU CAN MAKE A CD AFTER THAT YOU HAVE THESE CHOICES.

1.RELEASE THE CD YOURSELF,ATTEMPT TO BUILD UP A FOLLOWING AND GET A DISTRIBUTION DEAL.

2.STUDY THE MARKET,UNDERSTAND ECONOMICS,STUDY YOUR DEMOGRAPHIC AND SHOP YOUR CD TO A MAJOR LABEL,ALONG WITH YOUR BUSINESS PROPOSAL AND INFO ON THE MARKET?

WHICH ONE REQUIRES BRAIN POWER.....WHICH ONE REQUIRES MUSCLE?
BOTH REQUIRE BOTH. PERSONALLY, I WOULD DO A MIXTURE OF BOTH BUT TRY TO SHOP IT TO A MAJOR CAUSE I DON'T WANT "ANDY AND AMOS" IN MY POCCETS.

YOU STRESSED, "I BARELY KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT I WANT TO HAVE A STABLE OS FOR MY MUSIC (PC OR MAC RECORDING) SO IM LOOKING INTO PROGRAMMERS WHO DEVELOP MUSIC APPS FOR LINNUX (VIRTUALLY NONE AT THE TIME)

WHY LINNUX? WHY NOT SOME OTHA DOS PROgRAMMIN'? WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT LINNUX?

YOU STRESSED, "IM NOT SAYING WE ARE PIECES OF SHIT."

HARD TO DECIPHER.

YOU STRESSED, "THATS WHY IM SAYING THAT WE NEED TO START EDUCATING OURSELVES AND SPENDING MONEY WITH *US*."

ONCE AgAIN, EASIER SAID THAN DONE. HELL, I NEED A MILLION DOLLARS RIgHT NOW. EASIER SAID THAN DONE. THE THANg IS, HOW DO WE gET THE PROCESS ROLLIN'?

YOU STRESSED, "I SAW A LATINO PERSON ON *THIS* SITE SAY TO HIS FELLOW LATINO. "IF WE DONT SUPPORT OUR OWN WHO WILL"

I SAW A WHITE GUY ON THIS SITE TELL A WHITE RAPPER ON THIS SITE "IF WE DONT SUPPORT OUR OWN WHO WILL"

***WE*** DONT SUPPORT ***US***. WE SPEND OUR MONEY ON BULLSHIT *THEY* PROMOTE.

YET AND STILL WITH YOUR MUSIC, YOU'RE NOT TARgETTIN' THE BLAK COMMUNITY. SO HOW DO YOU EXPECT NIggAS IN THE HOOD TO LISTEN TO YOUR MUSIC AND SPEND WITH YOU?

YOU STRESSED, "I UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE A WEAK PEOPLE IN A POWERFUL STRUCTURE. THIS IS WHY I SAY ***EDUCATE** YOURSELF ABOUT ECONOMICS. EDUCATE YOURSELF ABOUT THE SYSTEM AND HOW IT WORKS.

SOUNDS gOOD, BUT HOW DO YOU gET YOUNg BROTHAS FROM FALLIN' VICTIMS TO THE ILLS OF THE HOOD AND THE DISTRACTIONS? IT'S LIKE TELLIN' A HORNY ASS NIggA THAT JUST gOT OUT OF JAIL TO NOT gO gET SOME PUSSY AND THE MUTHA-FUKA RIgHT THERE IN FRONT OF HIS FACE. HOW YOU gONNA STOP THAT? HOW DO WE DEAL WITH THE TEMPTATIONS?

YOU STRESSED, "IF I ***DIDNT*** CARE AND DIDNT WANT TO SEE MY PEOPLE WITH ANYTHING I WOULD TURN A BLIND EYE......I WOULDNT SAY ANYTHING. NOR WOULD I DO WHAT LITTLE I DO.

I KNOW YOU CARE PLAYA. JUST LIKE MARTIN, JESSE, AND MALCOLM. AND WE STILL IN THE SAME SHIT. SO WHAT LITTLE DO YOU DO?

YOU STRESSED, "YOU HAVE POOR PEOPLE OF ALL RACES HOWEVER THE BLACK DOLLAR,THE BLACK LABOR AND BLACK SEXUALITY ARE ***ALWAYS*** EXPLOITED TO MAKE SOMEONE ELSE RICH.
