I think we are trained to look for the worst in each other. Watch someone go out of their way to find something negative to say or highlight about another black person.
Conditioning, if given enough time can morph into almost any kind of warped sense of self. Eric Brewer taught me that the day he fired me from my first Trader Job. I will never forget it
Yea I never cared for buying a lot of shit.. remember going to prom in my 98’ Jeep, they laughed bc they had rentals but guess what?? I knew I was going to college and that was my car so eff em lol
That's the point of the story they celebrated the short term but laughing at long term (programed by bullshit trends) rented a car for 4days & you owned a Jeep for 4years
Same, I looked great but I didn’t spend a lot, I was saving for college in a few months. I got picked up since I’m a woman, didn’t have to worry about the ride💁🏾♀️

We tried African town in Detroit but the other communities complained about it being racist even though we have similar areas for other nationalities. There's always pushback when black people try to get together cause people feel like we shouldn't have ish
My cousin (ol head) said the same thing! If we had black owned schools and black owned companies...they would cry racism and shut us down. If we were to say listen we are not being racist but we need our own space to be educated and employed ...white people will say racist and get it shut down .AND BUY UP OUR SCHOOLS AND COMPANIES TO BOOT
Detroit's black population already composes 85 percent. It already was "African". They don't need another useless label. It won't make the kids read more or stop killing each other or make the schools better.
@@buicklincoln being 85 percent with hardly any business ownership is the reason why they wanted to start African town. To have a targeted area where there was a concentration of black business. Most of the business in the city is not owned by the residents, which means instead of the money circulating in the city it's going to everybody else's neighborhood. That will help the schools and the violence in the city unless you think black people are inherently violent or dumb. While in every community there is always a criminal element poverty and low income areas have more crime because desperate people do desperate things. If we have more ownership and entrepreneurs then more of us have a stake in the community. With mor of the money we're making staying in the community we continue to help each other like other communities with greater concentrations of wealth do.
@Wize One I hear you. There's some wisdom in those books that is worth following but aspiring to be super wealthy pushes people to compromise many things that for me simply is not worth it, as the things that give me satisfaction in life happen not to cost much. Besides, humans are way to complex for a book that claims to have figured it out
Wize One there's billions of people in the world, in all honesty how many millionaires have you actually met? And wealth building Is a slow process anyway. Books do contribute to wealth as well, the more educated you are the more success you will likely have compared to someone who doesn't read.
I deal with people with money (foreigners...russians & guyanese) all carry themselves living average to poor ,meanwhile investing in property i always admired that lifestyle over the flash & glitz
One time I was in the club, shooting pictures. Someone next to me said “that’s a nice camera.” I look over and I’m staring at someone’s kneecaps. I look up and it’s John Salley, making conversation about the same camera he owns. It’s not an exciting story but it’s something you don’t forget.

This what I’ve been saying we are chasing ourselves and self value because we don’t know ourselves yet we need to preach love and help each other pursue who we are
This is so true! Very solid perspective. This is easily seen on TH-cam, where black creators, especially smaller creators, will not want to support or work with other smaller creators unless you've reached a certain amount of influence. Or they act as though they support others, but don't show through action. It's a sad truth.
It’s hard to trust one another because we always have to get over on each other. As soon as you give that trust to your own, they fuck you over. Not every single one of us of course. But I’ve given my trust to people who I thought were close to me, and got fucked numerous times, to the point where I feel like a dumbass for trying to have so much faith in my own people and it’s fucked up.
I treat all other black people as individuals because I refuse to have a community mentality with them. They want to act shitty towards myself and other black people then they can be on their own. And I'm not supporting any of their business just because we share skin color. No sir.
They're always going to be bad apples. Do I want the rates to go down. Absolutely. But killing aint never going to stop as long as people is on this earth
he blew my mind with that driving a Maybach, Bentley, and rolls Royce isn't ballin part !!!!! he said those cars were made for rich ppl to be chafuerred, so when you driving you look lame !!!!!!! I never looked at it that way !!!!!
It’s a mental thing. A lot of us physically broken we don’t know it. Subconsciously we are trying to prove our worth. Everything we see that we are less than so we use material things to prove self worth
It's about self reliance and contributions...... Happiness with nothing. Which Is what you'll always have. Nothing. This universe doesn't recognize you or money 🍇
John Salley is extremely grounded brother. . . I truly appreciate his insight and representation. . . Thank you Brother 🙏🏿!!! You are an inspiration!!p
There's too much on negative African-American stuff here and not enough emphasis on successful African-Americans like A.G. Gaston etc. or brothers like ex-footballer turned corporate chairman Willie Davis etc.
This the best interview I have ever watched with two black males attempting to be very honest about what is going on. Not arguing and allowing each other to speak. Great interview!
really great points!! our community is in a bad state HOWEVER the potential and talent is there..so many blk creators, designers, artists, entrepreneurs, athletes, activists and some really good organizations...if or when we connect these dots...we will once again be a true positive force and connected people/community... it WILL happen...i just hope im here to see it..im doing my part under #thepearlproject and other things
As long as there are entertainer/singers/athletes (tap dancing clowns) then there will always be people willing to do whatever for that dollar. We ALL know where we came from originally
While Salley is speaking he rules of the game,enough people are interested in receiving the information on this site ,that if the conversation flipped in the direction of how to. Not simply pointing out the known problem,those inclined to use the information would do so,one maintained problem,is the repeated failings within the community,that's very easy to do,on the other hand speaking into existents a few more possible millionaires can only happen through knowledge. Every one will not get to the 1% level but they can grow and develop wealth. Finally if a neighborhood wants to be known as a hood, leave them,but if the next one wishes to be called a neighborhood we already know there will be a difference in attitudes in it. One Love!
We always talking about "what's wrong with us" and never about those of us who got it together. That's a problem too. I'm not saying ignore bullshit. I'm saying give us positive examples. We have plenty.
Lil D and Freeway Ricky did not say anything about spending money like a damn fool! They both spoke on being frugal and not flaunting their money. When Lil D finally broke his own rule and bought a Ferrari, the heat got on his ass immediately and it was only a matter of time before the Feds got him! Only broke niggas do all that flaunting like that! in fact, broke anybody...it's a poverty mindset that makes someone want to spend a bunch of money they don't have to buy shit they don't need nor can afford to impress people they don't like!
So true, I've been out places and spotted someone saying, "if he could do it, so could we" like just outta nowhere. I was in line at the store minding my business. 🙄😶
100 % correct!!!😢 we. Our worst enemy for sure!!! If we could get 5 million of 40 million a black folk to give just 100 dollars a month for 1 year we could have multiple million-dollar Banks investes in every state 😰 it sad for real
@GODS Don't Bleed 360 Oh really? So why did they mention Jay Z boycotting Cristol and other boycotts? If people start a successful boycott and sales drop, investors will sell and the stock will drop. Stop playing!
When John Salley mentioned that u should have a driver if u have a rolls royce it reminded me when I was a background extra in the movie "ATL" and every morning T.I. would pull up in his black rolls royce phantom with his driver in the driver seat and T.I. sitting in the back enjoying the scenery. But I noticed T.I. would not give his driver the chance to open the door for him he would just burst open the door and jump out every morning. I always thought that was some real shit and cool of him and maybe he didnt want everyone to feel like he was better than everyone else the fact that we were filming in the hood most of the time.
It is best to take people one at a time. Trusting people based on a shared skin color, religion, political affiliation, etc. Is simply unintelligent and unwise
The world of sports entertainment has gone so far that i could remember when the max a superstar made per year was no more than 12-15 mil in the lebum James era. It hurts my head when i hear all the high crazy numbers from 25- 50 mil per year being discussed. These guys came from living off food stamps and all i hear people like Stephen A say is "They need to seek the max and do what's best for themselves and their families. Do us regular black folks forget how much 1 million is, how much money do the players and their family need to live comfortable per year. To think how much money is going to these players, it's sad. Collectively all black pro athletes + movie stars, can join forces and really help many black families financially if they pool their resources together and own companies, build their own housing communities where blacks can elevate themselves from the projects, into decent housing and not being a slave to the democrat system of control. With all the crazy millions that these guys make, they can more than afford to pay down the rent or mortgage and petty bills of a low income neighborhood of their choosing for an entire year. It's time for us to wake up out of this mental slavery brain washing where it's always about what can i do for me, me, me or my little family making 40 mil per year. Focus on trying to build up the entire black communities on a whole by joining forces and build your own communities, business, charities for blacks and really do some good for the black race. No more excuses playing the race card when people like Lebum is almost a billionaire that can save an entire black community from rotting in the projects
I hope you realise that all these athletes are underpaid. Lebron is earning hundreds of millions but the owners are earning billions. I don’t hear you say “the owners are over paid”. You’re brainwashed and you don’t even know it
@@eldio2124 yeah they are only workers. The owners that own them gets the big bag. If you can't own anything you can't be the big dog expecting big shit and will have to be under someone to make it and accept whatever they give you.
Been saying this for years. Give them all 1 million and come back in a year. Most if not all will be in the exact same boat. No more excuses. No one can help us anymore then we can help ourselves.
We've been whitewashed and a large majority of us have absolutely no idea what's happened and is happening to them. That's the difference between the A.D.O.S. people in America, and the Korean, Japanese, Chinese...etc.. they are connected to their culture, they know who they are and where they come from. A.D.O.S. people had all tht swiped away, thts the main reason it's so difficult 4 us to come together. Who are we, where you from brother, Chicago, Atlanta, LA? What's your family name, Johnson, Jackson, Smith? We had all tht taken away. So there's NO real knowledge of self, which is why we get caught up in random BS, thts contradictory to our good. And, for a large part we have no common causes. Hell they had a whole panel of brainwashed black faces speaking against reparations, before Congress. U don't see this degree of division and self hate in other races/groups of people. All to be a part of something tht you can never be, and never gain full respect, because you don't respect, who u are or the roots from which you came.... So, no logical thinking person ever true respect, anyone tht hates and has deep denial who they truly are. We come modern day conditioned slaves, without whips or chains, to a system tht refuses to acknowledge who we truly are and the riches the from the blood, sweat and tears of our African ancestors, tht experienced one of the most brutal slavery's in the history of European expansion throughout the planet...
Psalm 83:3-5 King James Version (KJV) 3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. 4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. 5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: Now who came/comes together against ADOS. You know and they know, they are scared family. The devil (anti-christ) is building his army bc he actually thinks he has a chance against GOD smh LOL!
Pay off some of y'all friends bills that you appreciate so much(directly to the company not the person) if possible. Or donate to causes you think are worthy without an expectation. Pure intentions. I have not been lucky enough to have experienced that yet....but I would think it could be helpful if you know people are having tough times. ☮️✨ No envy, just an opinion.
I agree. Make sure you're well off enough to help the others around your circle. I personally can't just watch someone someone close to me struggle without offering some type of help.
I thought this was just me I'm a 17 year old black guy and whenever I see another black person the energy is very very off. Especially when It's a group of them and they walk in same direction. It's not all the time though and it's not as serious but it does happen.
And again while he thinks his premise is correct it's the total opposite. They keep saying that we cant trust each other mean while they keep telling you to chase money for happiness. Talking about real estate and businesses. Money is what causes the hedonism
He said we been taught not to trust eachother. But I dealt with many black businesses or a person I dealt with individually and man I been screwed each time. IJS!!!
"They made us hate ourselves and love they wealth"

Exactly. Trying to outshine.
smh.... Salley speaking all facts.
Its called the "owners corner"...the rear passenger side!!
I felt that!! We are our own worst enemy. Did you hear what he said. We are trained not to trust one another. MESSAGE!!!!!!
We have trust one another and stop killing each other 💯
Right on
They're always going to be bad apples. Do I want the rates to go down. Absolutely. But killing aint never going to stop as long as people is on this earth
Their will never be peace. That's why I keep my pistol when I walk the streets.
Easier said than done bro. Sadly, i hate to tell u but it will never get better
he blew my mind with that driving a Maybach, Bentley, and rolls Royce isn't ballin part !!!!! he said those cars were made for rich ppl to be chafuerred, so when you driving you look lame !!!!!!! I never looked at it that way !!!!!
It’s a mental thing. A lot of us physically broken we don’t know it. Subconsciously we are trying to prove our worth. Everything we see that we are less than so we use material things to prove self worth
John Salley is blowed 💨 💨.
Jokes aside, a crabs in a barrel mentality still runs rampant with in our community. The priorities are terribly skewed.
LotusFlowerBomb80 LotusFlowerBomb80 Crabs only behave that way when they are forced into the barrel (an unnatural habitat for crabs).
Why give dope dealers your platform, Vlad - then criticize people for emulating them?
Ganstagrillz10 culture vulturism
@@mistaseeforce you're a culture vulture too. One of the dumbest words ever used.
Because he's giving those very same drug dealers an outlet to tell people "Hey dumbass stop emulating my life, this isn't something to be glorified".
Yogripper And then the next interview will be a young dumb rapper who actively glorifies the dope game going into detail about all his escapades 🤣
It's about self reliance and contributions...... Happiness with nothing. Which Is what you'll always have. Nothing. This universe doesn't recognize you or money 🍇
John Salley is extremely grounded brother. . . I truly appreciate his insight and representation. . . Thank you Brother 🙏🏿!!! You are an inspiration!!p
The funny thing is majority of people don't even have money to buy stuff.
It's some people that are just not pretenders...John Sally is not a pretender...he is real
There's too much on negative African-American stuff here and not enough emphasis on successful African-Americans like A.G. Gaston etc. or brothers like ex-footballer turned corporate chairman Willie Davis etc.
The point is, it's not enough of the successful ones. What you may think is alot is actually a small percentage.
@@TheWorldNowTV There are plenty. You're socializing in the wrong circles. I'm one of them. Many of.the people that I know are very successful.
@Rick Jackson preach it
This the best interview I have ever watched with two black males attempting to be very honest about what is going on. Not arguing and allowing each other to speak. Great interview!
really great points!! our community is in a bad state HOWEVER the potential and talent is there..so many blk creators, designers, artists, entrepreneurs, athletes, activists and some really good organizations...if or when we connect these dots...we will once again be a true positive force and connected people/community... it WILL happen...i just hope im here to see it..im doing my part under #thepearlproject and other things
Sumumba Sobukwe - We. We. We. What are you doing?
As long as there are entertainer/singers/athletes (tap dancing clowns) then there will always be people willing to do whatever for that dollar. We ALL know where we came from originally
“WE WERE BREAD TO BE THIS WAY” that’s a powerful statement.

I don't give my trust to anyone, regardless of the ethnic background, they have to earn mine first.
Preach!
Thank you for this.
What up Vlad! Appreciate all the videos. Can't wait to see more VladStocks videos! Thx!
Can't watch this bc im going too cry, Lack of Awareness! Period.
Love these Salley videos. Always Intriguing!! Need More Salley vids!
Imagine The News That Was On TV Was ALL ABOUT #POSITIVITY. Peoples Thinking About Life Would Be Different.
While Salley is speaking he rules of the game,enough people are interested in receiving the information on this site ,that if the conversation flipped in the direction of how to. Not simply pointing out the known problem,those inclined to use the information would do so,one maintained problem,is the repeated failings within the community,that's very easy to do,on the other hand speaking into existents a few more possible millionaires can only happen through knowledge. Every one will not get to the 1% level but they can grow and develop wealth. Finally if a neighborhood wants to be known as a hood, leave them,but if the next one wishes to be called a neighborhood we already know there will be a difference in attitudes in it. One Love!
We always talking about "what's wrong with us" and never about those of us who got it together. That's a problem too. I'm not saying ignore bullshit. I'm saying give us positive examples. We have plenty.
1 of the reasons I dont listen/watch any of the music or tv shows nowadays everything is degrading and disrespectful.
Lil D and Freeway Ricky did not say anything about spending money like a damn fool! They both spoke on being frugal and not flaunting their money. When Lil D finally broke his own rule and bought a Ferrari, the heat got on his ass immediately and it was only a matter of time before the Feds got him! Only broke niggas do all that flaunting like that! in fact, broke anybody...it's a poverty mindset that makes someone want to spend a bunch of money they don't have to buy shit they don't need nor can afford to impress people they don't like!
Appreciate this so much ,,,me been feeling this same issue that strongly blocking economic growth
Thank you John this is amazing 😉 and thanks Vlad for actually putting this up.
John Salley always has something intelligent to say, not like some of these comments in the feeds.
Good to see John Sally being conscious!
Public Enemy- "Don't Believe The Hype" Props To John Salley....
So true, I've been out places and spotted someone saying, "if he could do it, so could we" like just outta nowhere. I was in line at the store minding my business. 🙄😶
john salley is saying listen to tha interview with vlad and grant cardone
listen men listen black man
MISTAR FOSTAR .... listen black ppl. Black men are apart of a community that includes black women as well.
So called black man
Listen black males and black females this talk is for us
John putting us up on game
100 % correct!!!😢 we. Our worst enemy for sure!!! If we could get 5 million of 40 million a black folk to give just 100 dollars a month for 1 year we could have multiple million-dollar Banks investes in every state 😰 it sad for real
They been doing that since we got here. Unfortunately, it still works. Great message.
U MEAN SINCE THEY GOT HERE😒
If people stop buying those products the stock in those companies will drop Vlad! Be careful Mr. Stock guy!
@GODS Don't Bleed 360 Oh really? So why did they mention Jay Z boycotting Cristol and other boycotts? If people start a successful boycott and sales drop, investors will sell and the stock will drop. Stop playing!
That’s why you invest in companies that people will never not stop buying 10, 20 years from now
GODS Don't Bleed 360
You CLEARLY CLEARLY don’t know about stocks. Stop while ahead please 🙏🏽
Lol
Alexis Brandon Isbell jay z owns hella liquor stores
When John Salley mentioned that u should have a driver if u have a rolls royce it reminded me when I was a background extra in the movie "ATL" and every morning T.I. would pull up in his black rolls royce phantom with his driver in the driver seat and T.I. sitting in the back enjoying the scenery. But I noticed T.I. would not give his driver the chance to open the door for him he would just burst open the door and jump out every morning. I always thought that was some real shit and cool of him and maybe he didnt want everyone to feel like he was better than everyone else the fact that we were filming in the hood most of the time.
Just be better.
My PEOPLE!
BE. BETTER.
THAT'S IT.
Agreed.
The ending though re driving yourself. OMG. Deep. Never, ever considered that factor in the equation! Boom. John is brilliant (and funny).
DTA! “Don’t Trust *ANYBODY* “ - Stone Cold Steve Austin 😁
Na God said it in the Bible
I like the points and ideas in this clip.... yalll might have seriously figured it out frfr
Somebody been listening to my comments about the Rolls-Royce. You never go to the Rolls-Royce dealer and buy a Rolls-Royce you send your driver.
It is best to take people one at a time. Trusting people based on a shared skin color, religion, political affiliation, etc. Is simply unintelligent and unwise
I've come to realize that a lot of people have gotten into cult-like thinking tanks in the age of social media and TH-cam.
In some countries all the controls are in the back seat of a luxury car. Meaning you're expected to have a driver.
Martin Luther King Jr: "My eyes have seen the glory..."
Vlad: "...boys?... I've actually interviewed Lil Reese and nem."
Powerful!! John Salley was spot on!
I guess they never heard of Rosewood or Black Wall Street... John Sally is woke now smh
Exactly
We heard of black wallstreet, and Rosewood.In 2019 those black communities don't exist..
Earn your Immortality 2019 Bruh not 80 years ago
Where's rosewood n are u talking the backstreet in tulsa
@@AccentBwoy Rosewood is in Florida
Love the Bentley tutorial lol
The world of sports entertainment has gone so far that i could remember when the max a superstar made per year was no more than 12-15 mil in the lebum James era. It hurts my head when i hear all the high crazy numbers from 25- 50 mil per year being discussed. These guys came from living off food stamps and all i hear people like Stephen A say is "They need to seek the max and do what's best for themselves and their families. Do us regular black folks forget how much 1 million is, how much money do the players and their family need to live comfortable per year. To think how much money is going to these players, it's sad. Collectively all black pro athletes + movie stars, can join forces and really help many black families financially if they pool their resources together and own companies, build their own housing communities where blacks can elevate themselves from the projects, into decent housing and not being a slave to the democrat system of control. With all the crazy millions that these guys make, they can more than afford to pay down the rent or mortgage and petty bills of a low income neighborhood of their choosing for an entire year. It's time for us to wake up out of this mental slavery brain washing where it's always about what can i do for me, me, me or my little family making 40 mil per year. Focus on trying to build up the entire black communities on a whole by joining forces and build your own communities, business, charities for blacks and really do some good for the black race. No more excuses playing the race card when people like Lebum is almost a billionaire that can save an entire black community from rotting in the projects
I hope you realise that all these athletes are underpaid. Lebron is earning hundreds of millions but the owners are earning billions. I don’t hear you say “the owners are over paid”. You’re brainwashed and you don’t even know it
@@eldio2124 yeah they are only workers. The owners that own them gets the big bag. If you can't own anything you can't be the big dog expecting big shit and will have to be under someone to make it and accept whatever they give you.
Been saying this for years. Give them all 1 million and come back in a year. Most if not all will be in the exact same boat. No more excuses. No one can help us anymore then we can help ourselves.
We've been whitewashed and a large majority of us have absolutely no idea what's happened and is happening to them. That's the difference between the A.D.O.S. people in America, and the Korean, Japanese, Chinese...etc.. they are connected to their culture, they know who they are and where they come from. A.D.O.S. people had all tht swiped away, thts the main reason it's so difficult 4 us to come together. Who are we, where you from brother, Chicago, Atlanta, LA? What's your family name, Johnson, Jackson, Smith? We had all tht taken away. So there's NO real knowledge of self, which is why we get caught up in random BS, thts contradictory to our good. And, for a large part we have no common causes. Hell they had a whole panel of brainwashed black faces speaking against reparations, before Congress. U don't see this degree of division and self hate in other races/groups of people. All to be a part of something tht you can never be, and never gain full respect, because you don't respect, who u are or the roots from which you came.... So, no logical thinking person ever true respect, anyone tht hates and has deep denial who they truly are. We come modern day conditioned slaves, without whips or chains, to a system tht refuses to acknowledge who we truly are and the riches the from the blood, sweat and tears of our African ancestors, tht experienced one of the most brutal slavery's in the history of European expansion throughout the planet...
Psalm 83:3-5 King James Version (KJV)
3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
Now who came/comes together against ADOS. You know and they know, they are scared family. The devil (anti-christ) is building his army bc he actually thinks he has a chance against GOD smh LOL!
Realest interview.
Dear Blk People and or REAL ballers... watch and listen... 10:32-12:07
you didn't get it smh...how many black peple can afford a bentley let alone a driver?
yes CONservatives are the true enemies of Black america
@@thdoom81 I got it..totally ..but u have a right to your perspective
@never back down dumb thug
Vlad man please turn the volume up on this videos, the last few been real low on volume, some of us enjoy your interviews at work with headphones
everyone go and research Bermuda, its a majority black island with more wealth per capita than most nations. It can be done.
Key word: Mindset. I work amongst millionaires and they constantly speak MINDSET everyday....
Vlad over here producing Pulitzer prize worthy content with interviews like this featuring John Salley....Keep em comin, Vlad!
Great convo. THe mentality has to change. Can't say little Africa... it's a continent.. That's like saying lil Asia.
Pay off some of y'all friends bills that you appreciate so much(directly to the company not the person) if possible. Or donate to causes you think are worthy without an expectation. Pure intentions. I have not been lucky enough to have experienced that yet....but I would think it could be helpful if you know people are having tough times. ☮️✨ No envy, just an opinion.
I agree. Make sure you're well off enough to help the others around your circle. I personally can't just watch someone someone close to me struggle without offering some type of help.
It boils down to sharing. Share ideas, share your time, share your lunch, your car (car-pooling) etc. We can do so much more if we share.
I thought this was just me I'm a 17 year old black guy and whenever I see another black person the energy is very very off. Especially when It's a group of them and they walk in same direction. It's not all the time though and it's not as serious but it does happen.
All black people?
Does it feel like you can't relax?
@@JueputaGuebon something like that
Great video!!!!
And again while he thinks his premise is correct it's the total opposite. They keep saying that we cant trust each other mean while they keep telling you to chase money for happiness. Talking about real estate and businesses. Money is what causes the hedonism
@Evil Whitefaced Nick Cannon false...... Niggas fight over materialistic things🍇
He said we been taught not to trust eachother. But I dealt with many black businesses or a person I dealt with individually and man I been screwed each time. IJS!!!
ADOS is the identity factor that’s been missing for the black community and a change is coming
