See this is why I say black folk need to stop talking about what wees going to do as a collective and start talking about what are you going to do for yourself. If each individual family, or individual does for themselves. Then you don have to worry about what J Morrison is doing, or aint doing.
Because whether he is on the up, and up, or not. He going to still get shitted on because we have an inherent distrust of each other.
I give respect to those who are willing to put themselves out there to be judged by hundreds, thousands, and millions of folks who have their own agenda, bias, etc.....
Each individual taking doing for themselves and taking responsibility for you, and yours is the best way to strengthen the black community.
To an extent that is true which is why you ( each person) can’t just give validation or trustworthiness to any and everyone who says they mean you good. Anybody can say anything but what is their record? What are they known for? And what have they done tangible or productive to credit or discredit themselves? Since the thread is about a con man I’ll say this. For me, I have to follow my instincts and intuition. If it looks like a duck etc. For me, it’s not strictly a black or color thing. My first instinct is normally right anyway. Good intentions don’t put food on the table either. Not when say one is balling and spending poor black peoples money and won’t hold themselves accountable. Just me though.
