No, he is not. Most blacks still live in the south, it is much cheaper to live there than where this guy usually lives. They get far more for their buck in the south...most blacks are not poor, they are disproportionately poor--two different statements. And, most of us aren't well-off, either.

At what point was his intellect questioned? Right around 1:53 his brilliant academic record was discussed.

He made the point that a lot of talented people end up in the same boat for their profligacy. All too true I’m afraid, and Brother West is no exception.

Is English your third language? Your statement is incoherent.

Brother man I have a lot of respect for you, but I myself believe your power is on the outside, not the inside. Which I see others who have no understanding about leadership jumping into all kinds of positions on the outside you are leaving from. Who knows nothing about what they are doing, who allows their ego to lead the way. You need to stay on the outside to have serious control of the range like King, and Malcolm did, along with Marcus Garvey, and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Because this new group is so off track, they all came from the totally unconscious generation. Who set around in college learning everything, but acting like they don't know a damn thing. No matter how one looks at it, from whatever level they are playing in. Their minds are totally messed up, from helping the system to take on a negative way, which is opposite then the past, when people limited themselves in the things the system wanted them to play. Some say it's the changing times, but what changed so much to allow the bottom to drop all the way out from real reality that we see everyday. The truth is still here, and people are still trying to do what the past generation tried to do, but in a water down way. All I see that time just exposed a more water down life, from the life of serious times that many committed themselves to be. The perverts break down the mentality, and the people adjust to another way to play. As time moved on the system trained the people to see things only that way, which weakened the conversation to be a popular faking thing, that was so easy to be because it was where their mentality came to be. Had help the Internet get strong, with the network systems jumped in doing all kinds of wrong, and the rating flow like a rocket shooting to the sky. Where the new toy became more important than holding down the principles to keep rules in the game. Now we see crazy talk with crazy threats, that a few go out to execute them. That it gets stronger each day as we allow the poison to have a say. That being safe is not one of those things anymore, everyone staying alert to what might come their way just for being in the right place at the wrong time. That stays on our minds.
