I wish I could tell you that I believed in the American Education System. I really do. Unfortunately I can’t. When I was on The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne asked me if I regret not majoring in business now that I’m a successful speaker and entrepreneur. My answer was “No”. It is my firm belief that the US Department of Education is a sham and the system of higher education serves only to make people great slaves, not great business owners.
A little while ago, “45” promised a group of HBCU presidents that he was going to “more” for their institutions than “any other president”.
That statement right there should have let you know that the jig was up!
Because the POTUS had a photo op and signed an Executive Order on HBCU’s, moving their jurisdiction from the US Department of Education to The White House is a grand gesture, but has very little substance. The details don’t seem to be plentiful and now that reality is starting to sink in with HBCU’s.
45 is doing everything he can to ACT like he cares, but if he REALLY did, he’d start to cut checks. He’d demand sweeping education reforms of not only HBCU’s but Colleges, Universities, and public & charter schools across the country.
But would that hurt his business buddies?
Absolutely. The idea of teaching things like understanding our personal credit, balancing a checkbook, how to start a business via the internet (or a brick and mortar model) or learning the importance of using the tax code effectively (like our POTUS does) would begin to encourage independent thought.
We have been conditioned as children to get up and go to a place where someone tells us when we can play, when we can speak and how often we can go to the bathroom. Unfortunately, now whether you are in jail or the job, you still have someone telling you what to do and how and when to do it.
Why won’t we wake up?
Only 40 days in and 45 has already started:
- Drilling in our national monuments
- Gave the OK for dumping crude waste into our rivers and streams
- Acting on a BAN for Muslims
- Looking to take out people in the “inner cities” (Chicago is code for Black people, that’s why you hear all of the Trumpets using it as an example)
- Hiring a cabinet worth over $10 billion , but you think he’s going to do anything to benefit Black people who aren’t named BEN or OMAROSA? You’re dreaming.
Until we’re ready to learn how to use the internet for more than beefs, fight videos and looking at ass, we’re going to be behind the 8 ball. Regardless of who the POTUS is, we have got to make educating ourselves a top priority. If you want to have successful business, you should join my mission to stop broke business!
