@Rufyb Absolutely fantastic read and kudos to Mr Aiyesimoju on an amazing turnaround. Should definitely become a flagship case study in business schools
@Codie_Sanchez My respect for you for sharing this just shot through the roof. No one knows the struggles behind the scene. God bless you for having the courage to speak to soooo many people going through the same thing or similar. Will be praying for you & your family ππΎ
@OluAyoola7D Very nice & well put. On a lighter note, the only thing I havenβt seen on this $1m subject is where to pick mine up so I can start applying all of this great advice π
I'm going to say something that might upset some people, but I believe it deeply and the evidence backs it up.
The single most powerful thing Black people anywhere in the world can do to fight racism is to become collectively wealthy.Β
Not just individually successful, but wealthy as a community.
I watched this happen with other groups. When Japan was poor, Japanese people in America were put in internment camps. When Japan got rich, suddenly everyone wanted a Toyota and Japanese culture became aspirational.Β
Korean Americans were targets of violence in the early 1990s. Today, after South Korea's economic rise, Korean culture is one of the most admired in the world.
The pattern is so consistent it's almost boring: poverty invites contempt, prosperity commands respect.
So when I hear debates about fighting racism in America, I always think the same thing. Yes, call out injustice when you see it, absolutely. But also build businesses, create wealth, and invest in your children's education like your life depends on it.
Make your community so economically powerful that discrimination becomes expensive for anyone who practices it.
That is how you win the game everyone else already figured out.
At some point in our journey, we chose short-term solutions/alternatives and never looked back to fix all of those issues.
Like boreholes in place of water boards, generators in place of stable power supply, and Keke/Okada in place of a proper transport system.
Now we have gotten used to these alternatives. π€¦ββοΈ
@CatiaKyen@asemota Zero value system. This has nothing to do with poverty or hunger. Itβs No values, No critical thinking, No morals. This is exact same thing politicians bank on to keep us oppressed. When it comes down to it, youβd be shocked by what people will be willing to do for so little
@_BarnyO Wrong approach. He will quit because this is too difficult. He needs to switch diet/lifestyle and do a lot of walking to lose that belly fat and then he can get fit at the gym
