You ever think about how much of you wasn’t chosen—but inherited? I grew up on music. Not the kind that just plays in the background—but the kind that grabs you by the chest and rewires your soul. My dad was all about classic rock: Skynyrd, Zeppelin, Stones. My mom? More pop and disco—MJ, Diana, all that. That was the first frequency I ever felt joy on. But then came hip-hop. Beastie Boys. Public Enemy. Pac. Dre. Snoop. It wasn’t just music—it was truth transmission. A language my soul already knew before I had words for it. But here’s the thing: Because I identified with it so deeply, it created a bias. Not a hateful bias—but a filter. Anything that didn’t align with that early programming? It had to fight harder to earn my trust. That’s the bias I’m talking about. ⸻ Now zoom out. What if your early “playlist” wasn’t music—but politics? Or religion? Or race? Or trauma? What if you respected your dad so much that his every opinion became law in your mind? What if your mom was so wounded that fear became your baseline programming? You start to realize: Most of us aren’t choosing our beliefs. We’re just loyally repeating the ones that raised us. ⸻ So now here’s the uncomfortable truth: Can we ever really be neutral? Can we ever see the world without the fingerprints of our past smudging the lens? And more importantly… What happens when people with deep-rooted, unexamined biases are the ones shaping policy, running countries, writing history? What happens when the kid who worshipped his father grows up to be a president—and carries that inherited ideology into law? ⸻ I’m not pointing fingers. I’m looking in the mirror. I went to prison as a white boy surrounded by every race, every code, every type of pain you could imagine. And I saw the worst in people. All people. No one race cornered the market on evil. But the question is—how does that shape my bias now? As much as I try to walk with love, with open arms—I can’t unsee what I’ve seen. And that, my friend, is the war. The war between your experience and your ideals. ⸻ So here’s what I’ve come to: The goal isn’t to be bias-free. That’s a myth. The goal is to be bias-aware. To hold your worldview in your hand like a knife, not a shield. To examine it. Question it. Cut away what doesn’t serve the truth. And when you feel resistance to a new idea—that’s not weakness. That’s a doorway. Because maybe the most radical thing you can do in a world full of assumptions… …is to say, “Maybe I was wrong.”
