The Nolan Wells investigation wasn’t even an investigation… it was a cover up from the beginning… most blatant cover up in my lifetime… entire state of Mississippi is complicit in protecting everyone involved except the deceased 18 yr olds family… in one of the most racist states in America… go figure smh….
Huey P. Newton said, “I do not expect the white media to create positive Black male images.” A white woman strangled her three children to death, and yet the lone Black male juror who refused to acquit her is now being cast as the problem. She is given context, sympathy, illness, and complexity. He is given suspicion.
She committed the violence, but he becomes the villain for refusing to excuse it.
Here’s something Black folks have long understood, in the United States a Black man does not need to commit violence to be treated violently.

Black man, your focus should be on making as much money & building as much wealth as possible.
Your margin of error is non-existent.
Your “community” does not care about you.
Make, save, & invest as much as you can.
For God’s sake, and yours, heed these words.

You’re not going to guilt, lecture, tweet, or intellectualize them into doing what they’re supposed to do & being who they’re supposed to be.
Do what you’re supposed to do.
Stay in shape. Get your money. Increase your value.
Give yourself leverage & move how you wanna move.
