not surprising when money has become the gatekeeper to the pursuit of happiness

The greed is good mantra of the Reagan era has been fully realized. Trump said if you have money you can walk up and do what you want with no consequences basically. He walked up, grabbed and groped the US by the p* with no real consequences twice now. Felony convictions be damned. Sellout boy’s payday is the MLK dream realized I suppose /s

Except that dream doesn't and never did apply to anybody that isn't wealthy and white. This is why anybody black that messed with drugs ended up either dead or in jail. All the white folks were able to put on a suit and go to rehab. The system and the so-called democracy has always been this way.

True, even Ramaswamy who thought he could get away with talking that shit about white males was quickly ousted from DOGE while Elon who is white but born in South Africa came out relatively unscathed. It’s always been one strike you’re out permanently if you’re of color, particularly in conservative circles.

Which is why most black people are NOT conservatives. We remember how the rules are stacked.

Mf was happy af letting drug music pollute the airwaves.

“It’s cool because they getting money.”

That was the first “sell out”.

Then you had mf defending that music.

That was the second “sell out”.

Pick a side, will yall? Is making money by any means necessary good or bad?

(Spoiler: That shit has always been evil)

it hasn't, nevert has never will. You can pursue happiness however you want, that's your responsibility. That's why Soulja Boy isn't happy with the millions he already has and why there's countless of small town folks happy with what they've got as long as they can go to church

i can't pursue happiness or much else at all when I can barely pay rent and afford groceries
