IRONIC VICTIM MENTALITY OF THE FOUNDATIONAL BLACK AMERICAN
<span class="html-content">
<p>One thing I would tell you about Kanye is, there is no one like him. Man just knows how to sell himself and let his confidence flow without apologies.</p><p></p><p></p>
<p></p><p></p><p>I once watched a video of him where he was asked why he stopped talking about "the culture" and he said he has turned his back on it because it celebrates things that lead you down a rabbit hole and there is no accountability (this is me interpreting what he said, it's a whole other vibe when you see it). He said the culture talks about "guns and shooting up a block" and got rappers talking about things that could get them locked up, then when they are released, they start touting "gun control and prison reform". </p><p></p><p></p>
<p></p><p></p><p>Ironic, right? I totally agree 💯</p><p></p><p></p>
<p></p><p></p><p>Because why in God's name would you think that any of that is acceptable and then cry "oppression" </p><p></p><p></p>
<p></p><p></p><p>I believe he was right when he said "slavery was a choice" and you can see the evidence of it everyday. Maybe the statement was a little controversial but let us examine some scenarios.</p><p></p><p></p>
<p></p><p></p><p>First of all, have you ever heard that someone would come into your house and just make you a slave unless you have them access? Me neither</p><p></p><p></p>
<p></p><p></p><p>If the "White Man" had the confidence to come and buy people from your country and in exchange, gave you a few shiny things, it means that is the idea you had sold to him. It means slavery was already prevalent. The idea that "we were all kings" is a facade because if we were all kings, who was being ruled? And who sold who to the white man? </p><p></p><p></p>
<p></p><p></p><p>Let's jump to spending ability. A Foundational Black American would save up, wait in the queue to get the new pair of Jordans or whatever shoe brand was out, or the latest Chanel bag just to "look rich", while going back to sleep in a trailer or whatever dump he or she lives in. Then you tout "generational wealth" and how you are not getting enough allocation because the whites see you as less than. Have you taken a good look at your financial habits? What are your priorities? </p><p></p><p></p>
<p></p><p></p><p>Or is it the music and over sexualized portrayal of your race which you seemingly enjoy and also complain about? Because why on earth are you getting a BBL every two working days, or draping yourself in all the gold or icy chains you can find just to portray a certain look? Why would you boast about shooting up a "nigga" or "bitch'' if they blink wrong, yelling"thug life" like it's supposed to be some sort of litany to the gods? </p><p></p><p></p>
<p></p><p></p><p>Then you complain about getting shot by the cops, when the rate at which you kill yourselves is higher. You boast about it, you join gangs for whatever dumb reason and kill rival gangs just because. How about stop celebrating silly stuff and calling it "ART" because you desecrate that word on a daily. </p><p></p><p></p>
<p></p><p></p><p>Or is it the normalization of drug crimes and drug lords(well you get a pass because the Mexicans are the major players)but my goodness, have you seen the content displayed on the Shade room? The normalization of babymamas and absentee father's is appalling and the "ho" culture being celebrated(Diddy) is one for the books.</p><p></p><p></p>
<p></p><p></p><p>What about when you find your fellow "black person" or "brotha or sista' going to school, getting a decent job and talking well, and earning well and you start mocking them or calling them names like "coon", "sellout" "corny" or say they are "talking white"? How about they are pronouncing the words well and not twisting it to what you deem necessary?</p><p>Just two weeks ago, NORE of Drinkchamps podcast complained that the Black entertainers would always prefer to go to white news outlets to promote their stuff, instead of coming to black media.</p><p>But why won't they? When you invite them on your show, it is to ask them questions that do not relate to their music, in a bid to stir up controversy and get "views". There is clearly a difference between white and black interviewers in terms of comfort and professionalism. Not everyone is comfortable with that and when they react, you say they aren't being "real". <br></p><p>Okay Real Housewife 🌝🌚😒😒</p><p>Which brings me to my next point in these so called "reality shows" that help promote and reiterate the stereotypes you claim you do not like. All for entertainment and the paper, right? Yeah🌚</p><p></p><p></p>
<p></p><p></p><p>Or is it the racism displayed just as much, especially when you insult people who have the same skin tone as you, just because they are not in America, and when you get hit, you throw your silly hands in the air, and play the victim card? (Tariq, I see you dropout) You can be just as racist, even to "wypipo" as you call them Caucasians.</p><p></p><p></p>
<p></p><p></p><p>Now, I am not saying the Whites are innocent in any of what has happened to the Blacks, because they have done a whole lot of nonsense and "Karens" are walking around scot free but can we actually do some introspection?</p><p></p><p></p>
<p></p><p></p><p>Charity, we are told, begins at home, so why not start being accountable to yourselves and probably see how well things would pan out for you. The change starts from you and evolves. </p><p></p><p></p>
<p></p><p></p><p>What did I forget to mention? </p><p></p><p></p>
<p></p><p></p><p>How silly have these tantrums been and how long have they gone on? Or how wrong am I? </p><p></p>
<p></p><p></p>

I do accept tips for my written and vocal litanies
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
Most Engaged Content
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to 7 people with the best insights in the past month. The 7 winners are picked
by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Top Engagers
For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Engagers" tab on the rankings page.
Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.

The all-time contributors ranking is based on the Contributor Score, which is a measure of all the engagement and exposure a contributor's content receives.
The monthly contributors ranking tracks performance of a user's insights for the current month. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.

Engagement Score
The All-time Engagers ranking is based on a user's Engagement Score — a measure of how much a
user engages with other users' content via comments and upvotes.
Here is a list of metrics that are used to calcuate the Engagement Score, arranged from
the metric with the highest weighting, to the one with the lowest weighting.
1
A user's comments (excluding replies & said user's comments on their own content)
2
A user's upvotes
Monthly Score
The Top Monthly Contributors ranking is a monthly metric indicating how users respond to your posts, not just how many you publish.
We look at three main things:
1
How strong your best post is —
Your highest-scoring post this month carries the most weight. One great post can take you far.
2
How consistent the engagement you receive is —
We also look at the average score of all your posts. If your work keeps getting good reactions, you get a boost.
3
How consistent the engagement you receive is —
Posting more helps — but only a little.
Extra posts give a small bonus that grows slowly, so quality always matters more than quantity.
In simple terms:
A great post beats many ignored posts
Consistently engaging posts beat one lucky hit
Spamming low-engagement posts won't help
Tips, comments, and upvotes from others matter most
This ranking is designed to reward
Thoughtful, high-quality posts
Real engagement from the community
Consistency over time — without punishing you for posting again
The Top Monthly Contributors leaderboard reflects what truly resonates, not just who posts the most.
