Advocate From Where you are...#Ados





         Having information about the racial wealth gap is not supposed to make you sad or depress it’s a tool to help you understand and have the ability to advocate for yourself and your group. The information provided is not intended to have some negative emotional impact on you. 
It is a tool for you to use for your politics, you are in charge of your own internal life and your own feelings. Deal with them accordingly
This is information is for you to just see things as for what it is; as opposed to what you think it should be. 
You are to do politics at the point of where you are now, not where you want to be.

What we suffer from as a group is “structural impediments”-that can be understood as aspects of the external environment that limits to the extent that there are no possible points of agreement.
And these impediments cannot be solved by one individual. This is why charity does not work, evidently that funds run out. Societies are not built on charity; they are built on taxation and re-distribution.
Philanthropy is not the answer.
If these politicians are not speaking about how the structure of society is or if they are not speaking about the hierarchy that is impeded in this society then they are not talking about change. More than likely if they are not speaking about trans-formative change, they have benefited from the status quo…
Ados people need the government the most, yet we are the quickest to condemn the government as “the white man” or “the enemy” my favorite: " I aint beggin" for no hand-outs"….

Michael Bloomberg’s billion $ status is due to government funding and loans…(welfare)*

After graduating from John Hopkins University with a degree in Engineering and dropping into Harvard University to pick up a quick MBA…One of Michael Bloomberg’s first job was with the Investment Bank of Solomon Brothers of New York City. He was to count out the millions of stocks and bonds in the banks vaults. His quick thinking and work ethnics, he soon rose to the ranks of partner at the young age of 30.

I was lucky: Bloomberg stats… My father (a Russian jew) was a bookkeeper who never made more than $6,000 a year**. But I was able to afford Johns Hopkins University through a National Defense student loan, and by holding down a job on campus. My Hopkins diploma opened up doors that otherwise would have been closed, and allowed me to live the American dream.


((TheNational Defense Education Student Loan Act- The National Defense Education Act was signed into law on September 2, 1958, providing funding to United States education institutions at all levels. NDEA was among many science initiatives implemented by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1958…))
**also 6000$ a year in 1940 is $107, 000 in 2019...Bloomberg family was well off...
