Twista's guy won a craft grow license.

"A number of Black Illinois business owners were also winners, including Shari Wilson, owner of the South Side Chicago chain, Reggio’s Pizza, Rawle Stuart, manager of fast-rapper Twista"

Black owned businesses .

How they add that in LOL

The hypocrisy

Only ok if it benefits them

Or else it's racist . Self segregating their
business into that specific tier is fine
and dandy as long as it benefits them with
more notoriety and revenue .

More truths for everyone to digest today

[wolfmanmeadows]

Black owned business is especially important pertaining to this specific conversation. When rec weed was legalized in IL, there were all these clauses that were supposed to help social equity applicants. Instead all the rich powerful companies headed by white people got all the contracts and then the state froze issuing any new licenses. Their big selling point of helping disenfranchised communities when passing the bill was a complete failure from a business ownership standpoint. It created a lack of competition in the market which resulted in high prices, low quality, and poor selection for consumers.

Given the state was under criticism for failing to fulfill their promises and no black owned businesses were awarded licenses, I don't think that outlining black owned businesses won contracts is anything to get worked up over.

From a consumer standpoint, awarding craft grow licenses to anyone whether white or black is good news worth reporting.

the real hypocrisy is in the crooks that run this state when saying they are going to help disenfranchised communities get a piece of the pot pie

MLB and MLB only to bet on kind of sucks
Going over some lineup cards, recent stats on players in
the lineups. Percentages against scheduled
pitcher and so forth .... it's all just so blah

As someone keen to finding actual edges
It's hardly there betting MLB .

Lie to yourself all you want , but it's the truth

Back in the day when your only option was the local the office I helped out in would take down all meaningless MLB games the last two weeks of the regular season in September,

Even the locals had no idea what for instance, the Pirates 40 man roster call up starting pitcher from the Greensboro Grasshoppers has or what he can do. So he would take all games down like that.

I was in college just making a few bucks answering phones for the book and I remember talking to him about that.
He was like "I'd rather lose a few customers for a couple of weeks than post a line on game I have no idea who's who or what's what"

Made sense to me.

There would be less white CEO’s of long withstanding successful monopolies
IF their culture would get their shit together
quit relying on handouts
have 2 adults in the homes this meaning 2 household incomes and discipline the kids
(they have by far lowest rate of 2 parent households)
not drop out of school at the highest rates of any race DOUBLE higher % than anyone

I agree huge companies monopolize everything and that’s a problem
but to say headed by WHITE leaders is funny as fukk
who the fukk they gonna hire in this racial quota era ?
Its simple math . There’s less blacks who fit the criteria for high positions such as that

white privilege is another funny as fukk topic
If we were so privileged many made sure the cream always rises to the top
and the social economics were all one sided for prejudiced reasons

THEN WHITES WOULDNT BE THE 5TH HIGHEST HOUSEHOLD INCOMES
In our very own racist and privileged USA we apparently run

White Americans aren’t first , 2nd ,3rd, or 4th highest annual household incomes

Nigerian Americans make more than us

Asian American households make the most in USA

there must be Asian privilege too , huh?

I hear exactly what you are saying but I admit the 'black owner' strategy is highly effective.

[Fidel_CashFlow]

Exactly

[Fidel_CashFlow]

I know of actual studies on social economics that would blow everyone’s minds here

keyword EVERYONE’S

[Fidel_CashFlow]

This not the thread for it though , I know

Anyways

Takes guts to say some things knowing 3/4ths of people
have built up systems in their heads
to dissuade their own self at what facts ,
Rather if it’s using stats,graphs,numbers,case studies and so forth
are being presented to them that argues against what they believe

They will either write you off completely , or character assassinate you

[Fidel_CashFlow]

Sorry for mini rant
got into it with someone today over subject close in similarity such as what I mentioned

here’s some politically correct humor to offset things

What if I told you , that my virtue in all this is true
I don’t rant and rave about much in my decade here if you think about it
so maybe, just maybe , listen if I happen to be doing so .


There is so much misinformation going on , and with all the other crazy shit it’s
really been a trigger for me as I’m seeing things truly start to unravel at the very core of our country

Fidels you're not wrong here. I think more importantly it's _hard_ to find the truth in anything these days. As always it's some mixture of obscure facts rounded up from about 5 different places. It's rare these days that people put in the effort to find the truth on any given matter, let alone know how to identify it, or further actually understand it.

Bet if I made that thread , even the people who are sure of themselves
that I won’t have much to offer outside of the original regurgitated shit will say

I know.

You and KVB are like KVB, I'll listen.
Almost any other poster on these here boards when they rant I ignore.
All good.

[Fidel_CashFlow]

I know a thing or two about some things or two Hubes
All I mean, lol

Thanks Nash ,appreciate that l

half of me wants to devote the time into a thread that would cover a lot

then other half of me realizes it’s not going to change anything
in the grand scheme of things anyways

No football, no baseball game strikes my fancy tonight, it's a Law and Order bingeathon for your pal Nasher.
Love the entire franchise (the L & O franchise) and I sometimes learn something I never knew before.

If it wasn't for L & O I never would have known what the term 'exculpatory' meant for instance.

i don't think that black culture alone explains the low rates of black leadership in corporate america

maybe there is some problem in the school systems or something that could be improved to decrease dropout rates. the science of education is interesting, how do you teach most effectively? we need to get education out there free and easy to consume for as many as we can.

you can combat bad parenting by investing in social services in communities to increase education on how to be a good parent and help deal with problems.

i was outlining the race of the leaders of the cannabis companies to contrast against the language that was being used as support to pass the bill. rich white leaders is not the disenfranchised community that were supposed to be helped. nothing against rich white leaders.

white privilege is always a topic that seems to be discussed by opponents of white privilege. just to guess, most people getting bent out of shape about white privilege never really studied it from any credible academic sources. they probably have a distorted, sensationalized view that is being pushed by the news media, social media, or their friends. i haven't personally studied it much, only heard a few things hear and there.

all those Nigerian email scams must have propelled them to the top of the list

I agree with this. Honestly even trying to find the truth on <insert thing here> is exhausting and I'm getting too old for it anymore. Even if you do manage to find it, nobody believes it and you;'re not changing anyone's mind on it. Easier to just quietly go on about your own shit.

[Fidel_CashFlow]

One thing I’ve noticed is , whenever I bring up any topics like these
soon as I set my shit down and walk away there’s always a strange empty feeling
like I wasted time or will be grouped into 1 ideological group thus lessening what I said in the first place
I must remember that this isn’t the place for it , if there was a chance at actual change then it
would be worth it , but on here it only makes you get viewed sideways , in one way or the other .

here’s this about opossums though

It’s exactly how I feel man , exactly

The ONLY thing I judge others on around here (on the forums as a whole) is if you're making smart bets or making moves that make sense. Otherwise man, if I've never met you in person, I have no opinion of who a person is based on posts on an internet forum.

If it was only that easy man .

im telling you Wolf , nothing will change unless the change is done from within
there’s zero hope , as these perpetual downfalls for their race are worn as badges of honor within the culture

I always read your posts regardless if we share the same exact viewpoint Wolf
because you out a lot of thought into things and that’s important

I feel the same exact way , unless I let my temper get to me .

random question Hubie, if you could live anywhere , where would you live

I’m not quite sure myself , but I do know America doesn’t seem to be a long term residence

for me and my family anymore. Never thought I’d say that , and I still love this country

so it’s a confusing thing to meditate over

[stevenash]

Bill Murray played a cab driver in the epic comedy "Stripes"


This scene is comedy gold Jerry, gold!

[Fidel_CashFlow]

I did say “hardly” there , not any edge at all

the edge isn’t as evident , plus hitting a round ball with a round bat
past positioned players for 162 games is tough to lock in on any 9 innings
event, from a betting standpoint anyways .

I've been asking myself that as well lately. The thought often occurs to me on how far the US dollar goes in central america. But the thought of that sounds like a lot of paperwork, and I f'ing hate paperwork. Honestly I'd be happy in the SouthWest, maybe northern Arizona, New Mexico, somewhere off the beaten path in small town Colorado.
