While February marks Black History Month, the contributions of Black individuals and communities should be recognized and celebrated ALL DAY, EVERY DAY. Here's a great article about Black History Month for White Folk by a white guy.

The late great minister Malcolm X once gave a speech that told the difference between the House N-Word and the Field N-Word. He said the House Negro looked out for his master’s self interest because it benefited him. The Field Negro wanted to break away from the master because he ate inferior food, wore inferior clothes and was regularly whipped by his master. The master regularly raped and sexually molested the Field Negro. In 2024, we still have a lot of House N-Word’s and Field N-Word’s. The House N-Word’s are still trying to depend on corporate America as their financial savior through increased DEI initiatives and the Field N-Word is saying “we should start our on businesses, employ our on people and patronize our on businesses.” We only have 8 African American CEOS in the Fortune 500 and only 8% of C-Suite Executives are African American. It’s obvious that we can’t depend on corporate America to look out for the masses of African Americans.

“Slavery is America’s History. How we survived is Black History.” (Quote #servedfresh ) KNOW THE PAST. SHAPE THE FUTURE. ✊🏾 #freeafricansociety #richardallen #absalomjones #blackhistory #blackhistory365 #financialleaders #financialfreedomjourney
