The part that Anton always leaves out is that he didn't pull **** out of the mud....his family is wealthy and that is where he got his seed money to start his realstate business. Whenever anyone...especially a Right Wing BM starts running their mouth about "meritocracy"....it should always raise a Red-Flag because more often than not they are just some poseur like Anton trying to LARP like he is a "self-made-man" or some grifter trying to run a con.

How many black towns were erased from the map? How many progressive black men disappeared in the night. Simple minded black folk that say it’s about hard work are 1) willfully ignorant or 2) haven’t been here long enough. Every black man get their 🥷 wake up call. Black folk are THE hardest working Americans. Salute. Great video.
@@Maybemaybexyz Marry before you carry and spend less than you earn. Teach your children to do the same and things get better over time. There is no grand march/speech/gesture that will turn things around in a day or a generation. We need to do the basics and let time heal the wounds.
You know what. You’re right. These things did happen. But what good does it do to use that as an excuse. If it failed. Fail better. We know the history not for it to discourage us, but to learn from it and how to do it better. Defend ourselves better. Do it in a place where we can’t be touched. But to say “hey, they won’t let us so I won’t work harder” is essentially giving up and going belly up. If there is anything you can learn from this it’s work harder with the added caveat that you find ways to work smarter.
Fantastic perspective! The rules are different for the black community always has and always will. We HAVE to do better and improve as a community because an argument can be made that no one outside of the black community wants to see the black community win
I've said it before and I'll say it again. MLK who "conservatives" and "liberals" of all shades love to quote (and misrepresent) said that biack people who reach a position of status and look down on other black people are the epitome of disrespect. See King writings in the late 60's for evidence - 'We're Do We Go From Here' is one book to reference. Great analysis as usual.

Black Wall Street was rebuilt and thrived after the attacks. Desegregation killed Black Wall Street.

The height of race massacres were in the 1920s.

You cannot change the policy if black women are actively fighting against it. Its why his question about being angry or wanting a solution is bullshit. Listening to all of it its obvious. You need women to acknowledge they fucked up. Because until they do that, they will fight all policy changes.

Some men don't have the words nor the talent to express themselves in the manner you speak (9:20). The late Kevin Samuel spoke in a way and with a TONE that gave blackmen a voice!

Same rich ppl rhetoric. Everyone cant be successful. Its too many people to compete against each other, all the other countries, illegal immigrants, legal immigrants, college kids . The biggest lie is" the opportunity is there". Its not for everyone. You can make efforts yes but outcomes are not guaranteed its who you know most times.
This why family and relationships need to be prioritized over material things. Every man (or woman) can’t be rich. But having people you love and who love you back should be everyone’s goal.
Actually your wrong. Your right if your trying to start from the bottom and get to the top in a single lifetime. But that has always been a gamble. Watch how other communities move. They dont try to get to the top in a single generation. They view the climb up the ladder as a multigenerational effort. Its the only way to tilt the odds in your favor. Its why Its so detrimental when your parents screw up. Because sins of the father is a real thing. Thats the real reason why the crack epidemic and mass encareration were detrimental tot he black community. Becuase it stole multiple turns at the game board from them.
@jasonbirchoff2605 a job had several candidates who qualify apply. They all do the interviews etc. But the interview hired his friend instead and did the interviews as a formality. Did the candidates actually have opportunity? No. The person was already picked.
@@dixbowman3452 And if you think every opportunity looks like that. There is no helping you. It is not rocket science that networking will get you the job. That hasnt even been a secret. Every one of those how to get a job events schools have put on talk about it. Its a mechanism you can use to your favor, just as much as you think it gets used against you.
We chose individualim over unity. I see it every day with black people. Our mindset is not to be a Cohesive unit. It is to strong and independent. It is to be an individual.
I am so happy you touch on the Anton guy sounding like a white supremacy especially when he stated blacks shouldn’t get reparations which was insulting knowing the history of Black here in America. Funny how people that get a couple of dollars treat there brothers and sisters😢
So the way I see it is the way I viewed Martin and Malcolm in hindsight, and the way they both realized near the end but was too late to see it to fruition. What I am talking about is the reality that there is more than one right answer to most problems. There are multiple paths to a destination. All people don't respond to or are not motivated by the same thing. To expound, let me say it somewhat differently. Lets say that Anton's method moves 1,000 men to improve and be "better" whatever that means to them, but ultimately, it materializes into a quantifiable "better." Now, if every person moves their group at least one step towards "better," then with each step, "better" changes meaning, and we can have a different conversation towards the common goal. Too often people get bogged down and distracted by what they disagree with another person about or stuck definding their own approach as the best/only way, when in fact it will take many different approaches to fix our community because there are so many variables and entities working against us.
I think the crazy thing about the meritocracy myth is the that as soon as other groups begin to compete, they become upset, complain and attempt to change the rules in their favor. I think many, like you’ve alluded to, conflate earning something with being handed something or inheriting something. They’re confusing a meritocracy with nepotism.
Here’s the thing: The rules do change in their favor.. hence C-19 Hate Crimes Act, debit cards for migrants in NYC, and Visibility Day now coincidentally falling on Easter Sunday. The proof is right there
I would love to see a debate between Let’s Talk and Anton… As a 49 year old who grew up in the hood, who’s doing really well this race talk &hit is like telling future generations to not even try. I would still be in the hood stuck like chuck if I listened to these really old talking points at the start of my life’s journey.
@@shawn_and_one Alan. I’ve never once seen this guy walk away with a change in perspective from a conversation. He’s either talking with someone who already agrees with him, or in the case of his talk with Nathan, he just derails from valid arguments & criticism with that “it’s very nuanced” thing he does.
@@_basedperry Anton just went on Boyce Watkins platform and debated Boyce. Anton is pretty smart for a C student… Lol .. I just can’t understand how anyone can live in America and say all is hopeless and hard work is pointless. Also, the hood has plenty of lazy a$$ folks who don’t want anything. He!! my own father is one of them in between rehab visit’s and jail..
FINALLY. Someone who understands male/female relationships AND isn't a complete idiot when it comes to economics. Too many red pill creators regurgitate WS talking points when it comes to politics.
Am I missing something? It seems the alternative to hard work is highlighting how much of a victim we all are. I'm pretty sure that just leads to worse outcomes.
They don't want to talk about that part. They hyper focus that racism exists and that black people start out in a deficit compared to white people. Ok. That's the truth. But when are we going to get to the part where you have to throw away the ugly parts of our culture and move towards things that lead to success? I'm sick of people telling us that we are victims. Let's get to the work of being productive. All this victim talk is self limiting.
Thank you bro, after you stopped posting I started watching a lot of AD videos and felt like its always a bunch of nothing being said. But preciate you speaking from all sides not just yours.
Why should he grinding when white people will never let him have a fair chance of success? What's the point of it all? Razorblade salvation? Grape Kool Aid?
We gotta stop having these asinine conversations because honestly it’s a mixture of both of your points. We need both of your perspectives to operate in any kind of successful way.
Finally. I've been saying this since the grifting started. Black people are good at making sound bites and thumbnails, but can we solve anything? Let's go!
As a brown man all I can say is that when I was younger ...my gut told me something is wrong however all these years later you have eloquently decoded the matrix....more please
One of the things that people keep missing is that a lot of people that inhabit spaces that seemingly are against the various forms of oppression and marginalization are often only against the parts that offend them and the demographic they belong to. That said, they are not liberation minded people and they are trying to finagle their way onto the sticks now for their chance to play the game. They're not trying to dismantle oppressive systems; they're trying to displace who's running and benefitting from them. That's why you can close your eyes and hear the same language and verbiage used. On one hand, I get it because those systems are extremely successful and profitable to their beneficiaries. On the other hand, it's problematic and insulting to expect many of us to blindly work to supplant the people and current system, not question the tactics and motivation, only for them to be the new folks at the top of the totem pole and nothing changes for the people they stood on and climbed upon to get there. We're not ready for the conversation around how all of this stuff is a copycat game. It's like when somebody wins a championship in a sport; the other teams raid the winning team's assistant coaching staff, and try to poach some of the free agents from that team in the hopes that they can bring the same results to their own team and organization.
I agree with a lot of things that you said but I think the single most important thing that you leave out is that, individuals have free will. And in saying that in regards to men and women relationships we have to look at what were the Free Will decisions made by the collective or a significant portion of the population of men and women. To just point out that there have been historical Grievances and there still are is not a good enough argument to minimize what some black men critique about their women.
The audacity of saying that black people don't want it enough and then point out ghettos where they are killing for resources. They will kill for it, but you don't think they will work hard for it? That logic is wild.
Thats false here in the majority black city where I’m at their are tons of opportunities for people in the hood they just don’t want to get the jobs provided.
Alan.....You're off on this one. Ok, racism and white supremacy exists. Now what? If we do focus so much on those things (like we have for 40 years) then we will stay stuck. We have to be accountable for our own culture and how's toxic it is. Cultural change is a must. I'm sick of the racism and other isms excuses in our community.
I agree with the points your made, but working hard and doing a good job does pay off.. Yes we're behind the 8 ball and nepotism will trump is everyday but we got to push on abd pushing is hard✊🏾✊🏾
They don’t ever want us to have a level playing field. If you want things to change you have to take care of the root of the problem. To destroy a tree you have to take out the roots, if not it’s going to grow back. I agree with some of your talking points, but not all.
man im in coporate America and the yt prividgle is real. The people up top are out of touch and they really dont know that much about the process but can act like they do and they are great at it. we need to learn from that and how to mimic it to better position our people.
Gotta agree with u on this one, i used to sub to anton for his finaicial content but he does seem disconnected with some of his takes. Everyone cannot make it to the top, no matter how hard they work.
The average man is the average man. 😂 Antons whole philosophy is dumb. He looks down on the average man to push his courses and just comes off disconnected with everybody.
I've seen it first hand. Rather you're talking blue collar like Long Shore men or white collar like a advertisement exec. One thing I appreciated about doing Uber were the conversations I had with people. And one valuable lesson I took away is wipipo will bet the entire world on a conversation. If they like you based on a conversation they will give you the keys. They don't give a damn about your education. One guy told me he got his first 6 figure job at a party over drinks. He said he talked with the boss for 45 mins and didn't even really discuss the job. No resume. Nothing. Boom, he got the gig. It's crazy.
This is important because it empathizes the importance of relationships and connection....I have been blessed in life and people (of all ethnicities) have helped me. My first two mentors out of college were older conservative minded white people. They were kind and freely shared their knoweledge and wisdom. Much of that was because I was more willing to listen and APPLY the information they were sharing. Our culture at times is resistant to listen, learning, and APPLYING the wisdom that is shared with us. EX...Dave Ramsey has been freely sharing financial literacy advice for TWO DECADES....yet you have TikTokkers an social media influencers telling black people that "Dave Ramseys advice doesnt work for black people"....that's insane. His advice is based on MATH and the numbers dont lie. It has worked for hundreds of thousands of families, yet somehow our culture will deny it will work for us. Its crazy.
I been saying something similar.... I don't think it's talent they lack.... their talent is marketing and exploiting .... which is sick by itself.... but it's what we got 5:28
Any man with experience with women knows Anton is running game on his wife and his perspective of money is based on him having a vantage point. I'm happy he's in his position economically but him being in that position WITHOUT the general consensus about inequality and blaming Black people's position on their effort makes me despise him. However he has a daughter, and a wife, his lesson is coming that's the blessing of daughters they bring balance of perspective to fools like this, however it usually happens too late.
You talking about Emmit Till, is the same as people blaming their problems on slavery. You're a grown ass man, and don't seem to know, the people closest to you do the most damage personally.
Allen acknowledges both things are true systemic racism is how we got to Tyrone stabbing me in my back we can’t acknowledge one thing with the history behind and context, there’s also acknowledgement that we have to do better
As FBA, we lose because the kids would rather start over than stand on their parents' shoulders. Hence the lack of reapect for FBA men causes every generation to do a soft reboot.
The part that Anton always leaves out is that he didn't pull **** out of the mud....his family is wealthy and that is where he got his seed money to start his realstate business. Whenever anyone...especially a Right Wing BM starts running their mouth about "meritocracy"....it should always raise a Red-Flag because more often than not they are just some poseur like Anton trying to LARP like he is a "self-made-man" or some grifter trying to run a con.

I am so happy you touch on the Anton guy sounding like a white supremacy especially when he stated blacks shouldn’t get reparations which was insulting knowing the history of Black here in America. Funny how people that get a couple of dollars treat there brothers and sisters😢
So the way I see it is the way I viewed Martin and Malcolm in hindsight, and the way they both realized near the end but was too late to see it to fruition. What I am talking about is the reality that there is more than one right answer to most problems. There are multiple paths to a destination. All people don't respond to or are not motivated by the same thing.
To expound, let me say it somewhat differently. Lets say that Anton's method moves 1,000 men to improve and be "better" whatever that means to them, but ultimately, it materializes into a quantifiable "better." Now, if every person moves their group at least one step towards "better," then with each step, "better" changes meaning, and we can have a different conversation towards the common goal.
Too often people get bogged down and distracted by what they disagree with another person about or stuck definding their own approach as the best/only way, when in fact it will take many different approaches to fix our community because there are so many variables and entities working against us.
Lesson is not to give up but we need to reevaluate our expectations in life and if we don't become fortune 500 it's alright it's not our fault.
I think the crazy thing about the meritocracy myth is the that as soon as other groups begin to compete, they become upset, complain and attempt to change the rules in their favor. I think many, like you’ve alluded to, conflate earning something with being handed something or inheriting something. They’re confusing a meritocracy with nepotism.
Here’s the thing: The rules do change in their favor.. hence C-19 Hate Crimes Act, debit cards for migrants in NYC, and Visibility Day now coincidentally falling on Easter Sunday. The proof is right there
I would love to see a debate between Let’s Talk and Anton… As a 49 year old who grew up in the hood, who’s doing really well this race talk &hit is like telling future generations to not even try. I would still be in the hood stuck like chuck if I listened to these really old talking points at the start of my life’s journey.
I agree with this. If all you do is focus on problems without solutions you end up nowhere
He won’t. That would require him being open to different perspectives.
@@_basedperry Who’s he ?
@@shawn_and_one Alan. I’ve never once seen this guy walk away with a change in perspective from a conversation.
He’s either talking with someone who already agrees with him, or in the case of his talk with Nathan, he just derails from valid arguments & criticism with that “it’s very nuanced” thing he does.
@@_basedperry Anton just went on Boyce Watkins platform and debated Boyce. Anton is pretty smart for a C student… Lol .. I just can’t understand how anyone can live in America and say all is hopeless and hard work is pointless. Also, the hood has plenty of lazy a$$ folks who don’t want anything. He!! my own father is one of them in between rehab visit’s and jail..
FINALLY. Someone who understands male/female relationships AND isn't a complete idiot when it comes to economics. Too many red pill creators regurgitate WS talking points when it comes to politics.
Excellent assessment!
Am I missing something? It seems the alternative to hard work is highlighting how much of a victim we all are. I'm pretty sure that just leads to worse outcomes.
They don't want to talk about that part. They hyper focus that racism exists and that black people start out in a deficit compared to white people. Ok. That's the truth. But when are we going to get to the part where you have to throw away the ugly parts of our culture and move towards things that lead to success? I'm sick of people telling us that we are victims. Let's get to the work of being productive. All this victim talk is self limiting.
Thank you bro, after you stopped posting I started watching a lot of AD videos and felt like its always a bunch of nothing being said. But preciate you speaking from all sides not just yours.
I ain’t one for glazing but on the real, your content is a truth pill. Keep grinding bro.
Why should he grinding when white people will never let him have a fair chance of success? What's the point of it all? Razorblade salvation? Grape Kool Aid?
On the way to 100k 😎
✊🏿
The good Le boys ain't giving up anything anytime soon.
We gotta stop having these asinine conversations because honestly it’s a mixture of both of your points. We need both of your perspectives to operate in any kind of successful way.
You make it easy for me to feel seen as a black man. I want to cure the cancer, just trying to figure it out. Your help is very much noted.
Finally. I've been saying this since the grifting started. Black people are good at making sound bites and thumbnails, but can we solve anything? Let's go!
This is facts brotha
I love what you do bruh keep going
Love your content bro long time no see 👏
What ahow were you on with Anton Daniels..i would love tonsee and listen to that show. Thanks and good job bro.
My goodness. Ethered 😳😂
As a brown man all I can say is that when I was younger ...my gut told me something is wrong however all these years later you have eloquently decoded the matrix....more please
We taught them everything good and bad but none of us are teaching each other our real history.
Damn this was pretty good 💯💯
Your overall point is valid, but there are elements that lead to the conclusion that will evolve as you mature.
Wel said 💯
Preeeaacchhhhh!!! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿✊🏿
Great video one of my favorite books on this subject is the Tyranny of merit by Michael Sandel
One of the things that people keep missing is that a lot of people that inhabit spaces that seemingly are against the various forms of oppression and marginalization are often only against the parts that offend them and the demographic they belong to. That said, they are not liberation minded people and they are trying to finagle their way onto the sticks now for their chance to play the game.
They're not trying to dismantle oppressive systems; they're trying to displace who's running and benefitting from them. That's why you can close your eyes and hear the same language and verbiage used.
On one hand, I get it because those systems are extremely successful and profitable to their beneficiaries.
On the other hand, it's problematic and insulting to expect many of us to blindly work to supplant the people and current system, not question the tactics and motivation, only for them to be the new folks at the top of the totem pole and nothing changes for the people they stood on and climbed upon to get there.
We're not ready for the conversation around how all of this stuff is a copycat game. It's like when somebody wins a championship in a sport; the other teams raid the winning team's assistant coaching staff, and try to poach some of the free agents from that team in the hopes that they can bring the same results to their own team and organization.
6:34 yo. My man you are COOKING.
I agree with a lot of things that you said but I think the single most important thing that you leave out is that, individuals have free will. And in saying that in regards to men and women relationships we have to look at what were the Free Will decisions made by the collective or a significant portion of the population of men and women. To just point out that there have been historical Grievances and there still are is not a good enough argument to minimize what some black men critique about their women.
Had to Resubscribe!
Wasn't getting your Channels Notifications.
Bro... I am rocking with you and nefakaree.. a Haitian Bro that is also takented
The audacity of saying that black people don't want it enough and then point out ghettos where they are killing for resources. They will kill for it, but you don't think they will work hard for it? That logic is wild.
Thats false here in the majority black city where I’m at their are tons of opportunities for people in the hood they just don’t want to get the jobs provided.
@@glxjchaos7775 interesting. What city?
7:45 is craaaaaazy…
Alan.....You're off on this one. Ok, racism and white supremacy exists. Now what? If we do focus so much on those things (like we have for 40 years) then we will stay stuck. We have to be accountable for our own culture and how's toxic it is. Cultural change is a must. I'm sick of the racism and other isms excuses in our community.
Right. Fighting racism is a waste of time when your own culture is fighting progress
Well said!
Bootstraps matter 😂😂😂
You did a panel with AD? Where can I find that? I know that was good talk
I agree with the points your made, but working hard and doing a good job does pay off.. Yes we're behind the 8 ball and nepotism will trump is everyday but we got to push on abd pushing is hard✊🏾✊🏾
I think Anton can understand your perspective.
Yo, this is gonna be a most underrated video in this space. Facts on top of facts 💹
They don’t ever want us to have a level playing field. If you want things to change you have to take care of the root of the problem. To destroy a tree you have to take out the roots, if not it’s going to grow back. I agree with some of your talking points, but not all.
Thanks!
man im in coporate America and the yt prividgle is real. The people up top are out of touch and they really dont know that much about the process but can act like they do and they are great at it. we need to learn from that and how to mimic it to better position our people.
Should we not leverage talent? Should we not exploit resources?
WW are the Bonnie to the WM's Clide.
7:31 big shoutout to the great Bill Burr🫡
Gotta agree with u on this one, i used to sub to anton for his finaicial content but he does seem disconnected with some of his takes. Everyone cannot make it to the top, no matter how hard they work.
The average man is the average man. 😂 Antons whole philosophy is dumb. He looks down on the average man to push his courses and just comes off disconnected with everybody.
@@jpeoples very much agree with this. The answer isn't always people who make more do so because they worked harder
In war you have to rebuild the nation you destroyed and revive the people. Why are we the only ppl tribe who hasn’t been compensated.
I've seen it first hand. Rather you're talking blue collar like Long Shore men or white collar like a advertisement exec. One thing I appreciated about doing Uber were the conversations I had with people. And one valuable lesson I took away is wipipo will bet the entire world on a conversation. If they like you based on a conversation they will give you the keys. They don't give a damn about your education. One guy told me he got his first 6 figure job at a party over drinks. He said he talked with the boss for 45 mins and didn't even really discuss the job. No resume. Nothing. Boom, he got the gig. It's crazy.
This is important because it empathizes the importance of relationships and connection....I have been blessed in life and people (of all ethnicities) have helped me. My first two mentors out of college were older conservative minded white people. They were kind and freely shared their knoweledge and wisdom. Much of that was because I was more willing to listen and APPLY the information they were sharing. Our culture at times is resistant to listen, learning, and APPLYING the wisdom that is shared with us. EX...Dave Ramsey has been freely sharing financial literacy advice for TWO DECADES....yet you have TikTokkers an social media influencers telling black people that "Dave Ramseys advice doesnt work for black people"....that's insane. His advice is based on MATH and the numbers dont lie. It has worked for hundreds of thousands of families, yet somehow our culture will deny it will work for us. Its crazy.
I been saying something similar.... I don't think it's talent they lack.... their talent is marketing and exploiting .... which is sick by itself.... but it's what we got 5:28
What makes your perspective more accurate than the rest?
Any man with experience with women knows Anton is running game on his wife and his perspective of money is based on him having a vantage point. I'm happy he's in his position economically but him being in that position WITHOUT the general consensus about inequality and blaming Black people's position on their effort makes me despise him.
However he has a daughter, and a wife, his lesson is coming that's the blessing of daughters they bring balance of perspective to fools like this, however it usually happens too late.
You talking about Emmit Till, is the same as people blaming their problems on slavery. You're a grown ass man, and don't seem to know, the people closest to you do the most damage personally.
Thank you!!
Proximity yep.
Allen acknowledges both things are true systemic racism is how we got to Tyrone stabbing me in my back we can’t acknowledge one thing with the history behind and context, there’s also acknowledgement that we have to do better
As FBA, we lose because the kids would rather start over than stand on their parents' shoulders. Hence the lack of reapect for FBA men causes every generation to do a soft reboot.
You cooking all the way up 11:06
Preach good sir! We can’t let the goofy brothers control the narrative. Please bring some intelligence to these TH-cam streets.
