Non-conformity is commendable. I don't know if you know it or not, but eh...There are a lot of rich and powerful minorities these days. I'm not trying to disagree.
If you gave me my 40 acres and a mule
Certainly this should have been done 140yrs ago. 40 acres and a mule means something else today. It sounds to me like you want someone to give you a winning lotto ticket. 40 acres and a mule meant an opportunity to succeed, which is now available although it is certainly no guarantee. Steps should be taken to help minorities, agreed. But a handout doesn't help a drug addict. I call it loving them to death, literally. I am a pragmatic progressive. Change can and does happen, but not overnight.
I don't know why I ranted here. Maybe because I read educated, and two lines later nostrils misspelled. A moot point I know. I've probably got errors gallore, afterall it is 4:22 in the morning. Anyways, I live in a military town, and there are a lot of Black men in the military. I don't know all of them, of course, but some of them are outstanding individuals. That doesn't mean that I applaud military ideals. blah blah blah...Im gonna shut up.lol

Love of mine, someday you will die
But I'll be close behind I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light, or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight, waiting for the hint of a spark
If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
