Wow, where to begin. I for one as a AOWM am delighted to hear you speak because I your message is so true. I blame (mostly) LBJ's war on poverty and his Great Society for the disintegration of the black family. I believe young black ladies can make young black men do much better than they think they can do. "You want to be with me? You straighten up and fly right." And mean it. I have read on Malcolm X. A very intelligent man. His teachings, so radical in the 60's seem "duh" today. I am going to opine there were three fazes of his life. The first, his criminal life. The second, under Elijah Mohammad. And the third when he returned from Mecca a totally changed man. I with he had lived to continue to help those who would accept his help. Are you advocating a total separation of blacks and whites? If you are I will cease commenting since I am not your audience. And I will leave you with this bit of wisdom of age. It never hurts to hear reasonable disagreement.
I would have never guessed and actually doubt that you are not part of the talented tenth. You are clearly highly intelligent, articulate, and motivated. (ie Talented). You epitomize what happens when the Talented Tenth is informed and awakened. Talented Tenth is about the 90th percentile in aptitude rather than social economical strata. Keep up the excellent work.

"...makes enough money in his work boots to _Not_ have to wear Tap Shoes."
This is appreciated even when no one is listening or giving credence to the message.🥂

Thank you. I'm actually going to use some of this to make a point in a future video.
