    This episode was inspired by my friends who've been speaking a little recklessly to the Most High. Sometimes we forget that God created us and that there is a minimal level of respect due to the creator of the universe. Being overly critical of His work without the ability to create anything ourselves makes us poor accountability partners for God. Let's take a step back and explore how we are supposed to communicate with our Heavenly Father.Support the show

Unfortunately, after few conversations with my closest of friends, I started to feel like I was yelling through my imaginary mega-phone.

    We live in a world where we believe that we can do anything if we only work hard enough. A nice as it would be if this were true, it is not. We all have limitations and the more familiar we are with them, the soon we can push past them through the use of systems.We spend the majority of our lives in systems: School systemsTransit systemsPrisonMilitary-Industrial EtcDespite how much time we spend in systems, we rarely ever have an opportunity to create them. The creation of systems is critical for lasting freedom. The only way we can break away from the systems that keep us enslaved is to create systems designed to keep us free. One of the greatest threats to an entrepreneurs success is time. It is easy to get lost in all of the newfound freedom. We after week, you're BUSY, however, you have no idea whether or not you're getting any closer to your goals. Sooner or later you begin to feel the burn: Low on money fatigue no referralsno new leads etc. Although hard work is valuable, the only way you can create systems is to shut down the business. Data collection, analysis, and planning are the ingredients required for systems. Once a system is in place you can manipulate it to yield different outcomes. Most importantly, systems prevent breakdowns. Instead of you falling apart, you can find the strain/stressor in your system and neutralize it before it becomes disastrous for your business and eventually your health. If you want to get off the plantation and stay off the plantation, you better build yourself some systems.

    Black Privilege - The Gift That Keeps Giving

    White vs. Black Privilege: Although very different, both have important uses and applications and are needed today. Privilege has tremendous value in the process of healing the wounds of our past and balancing the scales of justice. The solution is NOT to pretend like privilege doesn't exist, but instead, embrace our privilege to make America great for the first time. The Origins of Black Privilege Black children, born in America during slavery, were born into one of the most hostile environments in human history. If your ancestors were slaves, understand only the strongest, bravest, and brightest survived. This distillation process created what we today refer to as "Black Privilege". Under immense heat and pressure, much like diamonds, the Black man in America developed special abilities to increase the likelihood of survival. Today those abilities grant privilege. Just to surviveThroughout slavery, Black people had to develop a particular set of skills and abilities just to survive. Otherwise, the black people reading this post wouldn't even be here. Some of, but not all of these gifts and abilities are: Physically Gifted: Worked to death and undernourished, the Black man in America is the product of natural selection wherein only the strongest survived to create a legacy. These physical attributes are on display in virtually every sporting arena. From the Olympics to little league, it is actually more surprising when you don't see a person of color lifting the trophy at the end of the contest. Intellectually Gifted: In a world where the most intelligent Black people were murdered for fear that they might challenge their oppressors, Black people had to learn to mask their intellects and embrace humility (a major contributor to scholastic underachievement to this day). Just being smart wasn't enough, you had to become a master strategist to avoid death and hide intelligence.The Gift Swagger: To avoid torture and abuse, likability became a necessity. This element of "cool" was paid for in blood and should not be taken for granted. This likability also manifested itself within entertainers who went on to create new genres and mediums of art effectively revolutionizing entertainment on a global scale. Most Forgiving People On Earth: Probably the hardest to comprehend is the Black Man's capacity to forgive and move beyond trauma. Astounding how as a race, Black people are so willing to seek out unity and peace with their former oppressors without the reparations or apology (talk about being the bigger person). All throughout the Black experience in America, Black people have been barred from participating in virtually everything traditionally considered "White". Alternatively, Black people have welcomed all races and creeds to part-take in the fruits of Black culture without reservation.Visit Langston's WorldSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/langstonsworld)

    Over the past century, black people in America have been at the center of countless innovations. Despite their contributions, their compensation has not been proportionate. In many cases, the lack of credit has been criminal. Today, these same abuses continue. The Question: When will we stop allowing the fruits of our creative genius to be consumed by the culture vultures.The Answer: When we we're ready. The truth is we have had the power all the time. It is easy to get caught up in the ideals upon which this country was founded. Unfortunately, history has taught us that high ideals are not enough to create a fair and just society evidenced by the millions of black people who are living evidence of the greatest crime in human history. "We Can't Have Anything" discusses why ownership of our own culture is critical to closing the wealth gap and why it is so important to fight back against the "culture vultures" that have feasted on the creative genius we as a community have taken for granted. In this edition of leaving the plantation, we will be focusing on the music, sports and cosmetology industries. Lastly, Because it is not enough to simply identify the issue, we will be closing the episode with solutions we can employ immediately to increase our holdings as a people. For your listening pleasure, I hope that you enjoy, We Can't Have Anything.
