Ignorance Is Not a Luxury Afforded to Black People

Image
Several months ago, I was at a shopping center to print off a document so that I could mail it off. I had already labeled my envelope and was going into FedEx Kinkos with my thumb-drive, envelope, and book of stamps. Now, as I got out of my car, a breeze blew by blowing my book of stamps out of my hand and into the car next to mine. The reason my stamp-booklet was able to blow into the car next to me was that it was a luxury drop-top Porsche. Moreover, it had its top dropped. Now, when it happened, for a split second I thought about opening the back-door (my stamp-booklet fell on the floor of the backseat) to grab my booklet. However, I immediately realized that would not be a good idea. If I did that, it would be presumed that I’m trying to either steal something or the vehicle itself. So, due to this, I decided that I’ll have to contact security to have them contact the driver so that he/she can pass me my stamp-booklet. Now, in this situation, I went into Kinkos first, and by t

Jobs that Black Men can get without Begging

Image
In today’s economy, Black men essentially have to beg employers to hire us; the reason being is that we’re in an employer’s market . Therefore, it doesn’t matter how qualified we are, we still end up competing against numerous, desperate, candidates that are willing to accept gigs for less than what they're worth. Furthermore, companies discriminate against hiring Black men anyway. To add further to our employment disenfranchisement, many companies have outsourced their jobs to staffing firms. So, companies are able to fill roles without having to pay benefits. Also, when the tasks have been completed—and things begin slowing down—companies are able to layoff its workforce without having to pay unemployment. This keeps workers—specifically Black workers—constantly living in a state of panic. You never know when you may get let go. It also doesn’t help that many companies aren’t concerned with having reputable reputations. So, they don’t care at all about reneging on their agree

Employer’s Market

Image
In today’s economy , we have an employer’s market. This means that the job market is overwhelmingly in favor of employers. This grants employers leverage to hire and fire whenever they want. However, despite these advantages that they have, many employers are crying wolf about there just not being any eligible candidates to fill their roles. What these employers—that happen to be White—are really saying is that there aren’t any suitable White candidates to fill these roles. Right now, America is in the midst of an opioid epidemic which bears the likeness of the bubonic plague . Moreover, these jobs are what are considered to be “good” high-paying jobs. So, companies don’t want to hire Black people to fill these roles. In fact, many are discussing removing drug testing because it’s proving to be too much of a barrier . So, these employers would rather hire drug addicts and lose money on 2 ends (paying the addict’s salary and losing money due to low productivity) than hire qualifi

Most Black Men in America Now

Image
Since I’m a unique type of guy, I don’t really focus on ordinary guys, but I’ve begun to take notice of something among men nowadays. Many men have become consistent complainers and perpetual procrastinators. Many guys today are like the slaves of the 1800s. Most guys now would rather sit around and mope about their current situation rather than actually get off of their asses and do something to fix it. This is something I’m not accustomed to. Furthermore, many guys now are incredibly stupid. It’s as though many guys have comprehension problems and articulation problems. Noticing these major flaws within men in society has caused me to better understand the comprehension and articulation issues that women are having. Many men and women perpetually interact with intellectual imbeciles, so their cognition remains at a remedial level; this is why it’s important to only interact with people going somewhere. -Derrick Mills, 06/26/2017 (If you enjoyed this post, then please consid

Most Women Nowadays Would Rather Impress a Woman Rather Than a Man

 As time has passed, I’ve noticed more and more women that are gay and/or bisexual. Nowadays, I actually expect every woman I meet to be bisexual. Furthermore, I’ve told my friends that many of these women aren’t out to impress us. For example, the wigs and weaves that they place in their hair that messes their scalp up; that’s done to impress other women. I’ve never heard a guy—that wasn’t desperate—say he finds weaves and/or wigs attractive. The only people that find it cute are other women, so they’re doing it to appeal to other women. I’ve never heard any guys clamor about Black women needing to straighten their hair either. That was pushed upon them by the dominant society. Black men never had an issue with their natural hair. When they straightened their hair, many of us just went with it. Also, this tattoo craze, although we’re the originators of tattoos—since our culture has been branding itself since ancient times but those are tribal and mean something--nowadays, these tatto

Investment Alternatives

So, in this post, I’m going to talk a little bit about investment alternatives. One thing people should look into are variants of indexed universal life policies. They mimic the stock market to an explicitly stated percentage rate. They allow you to borrow money from your built-up cash value for emergencies without affecting the death benefit—provided your cash value surpasses the death benefit. Alternatively, the borrowed money will just subtract from the death benefit amount. However, the real attribute is that they don’t lose money—even when the stock market goes down. They still earn 1%. Moreover, an experienced agent can cover your inheritance passed down from a loved one so that you can receive your money without, even, having to pay taxes. Also, this policy can be written on your children. It can be used as an alternative to a College Savings Plan—provided you buy the policy when your children are young, and you overfund the policy. Next, annuities are another great vehicle

Unemployment Rate Mindfuckery

Unemployment rates are much higher than studies dictate. Unemployment lasts up to 6 months. However, due to the depression we’re in, people are remaining unemployed well beyond 6 months. However, when it comes time to determine the unemployment rate, these people aren’t counted. However, they never disappeared; they just fell off the listing. Going further, the major issue now is under-employment. We have a massive under-employment catastrophe going on. People are working 2 to 3 jobs just to make ends meet. This is all due to the hyper-inflation we’re experiencing. So, no, the real unemployment rate is through the roof. Furthermore, under-employment is astronomical. Moreover, these problems were going on during the Obama administration. By the way, under-employed people still do boost the employment rate even though they’re not making ends meet. The reason being, they don’t increase the unemployment rate because they don’t draw unemployment. (If you enjoyed this post, then plea
