Billionaires & Hoarders: Two Sides of the Same Greedy Coin

Billionaires & Hoarders: Two Sides of the Same Greedy Coin Let’s play a little mental game. Close your eyes and imagine a hoarder. You know the type—stacked-up newspapers from 1983, broken appliances they swear they’ll fix, closets bursting with expired canned goods, and maybe a dozen cats running a shadow government in the basement. Now… picture a billionaire. Private jets? Check. Four yachts? Check. Enough wealth to solve world hunger twenty times over… and still complaining about taxes? Same behavior. Different zip code. The Absurd Similarities Between Billionaires & Hoarders On the surface, one smells like old pizza boxes and anxiety. The other smells like imported lavender from Provence and entitlement. But when you break it down, the behaviors mirror each other: Behavior Hoarder Billionaire Obsession with accumulation 137 empty lotion bottles 137 billion dollars Believes everything might “come in handy” Keeps 42 broken toasters Buys up 42 companies for “synergy” Can’t let...

The fact is that we have been used and left behind in the world wide race. We may need to now step back and look at some new ways to win, because trying to catch up in the traditional fashion is not going to work. Those that know me you best believe that Mr. Richard (tha dick) nixon is going to get the siren of f...

Black Woman, You Can Never Be As Beautiful As A white woman

I know that some will not even read this post, and I understand. It is hard to be hit by the truth. Some will argue before and may even throw insults, and  I understand that as well. For those that will take the time to read what I am trying to say I thank you in advance. This idea was spawned as I was going threw Aesop fables. Aesop dropped some powerful wisdom for those with "Ears to hear, and eyes to see". Aesop had quite a few fables about animals that had an identity crisis. A powerful example of this is the story entitled "The Raven and the Swan" (check out the story on my YouTube Channel, and push that Subscribe as well). I believe that most people do not know where or when they are. Let me explain, Black Women we are in the heart of a western imperialistic system. At this point and time we are at the height of this systems power. The idea that keeps this system in motion are and were generated in the minds of white men, and given birth out of the womb ...
