Black People Are Quitting Their Jobs and I Love It

Summary

The article discusses the trend of Black individuals leaving traditional corporate jobs to start their own businesses, a movement sparked by a reevaluation of life during the pandemic, which is seen as a positive shift towards financial empowerment and a rejection of systemic control.

Abstract

The content reflects on the phenomenon known as the Great Resignation, particularly within the Black community, where individuals are choosing to abandon conventional corporate careers in favor of entrepreneurship. This shift is presented as a form of awakening, with the pandemic serving as a catalyst for people to reassess their life choices and recognize the potential for personal and financial growth outside the confines of traditional employment. The article suggests that societal structures, including education and marketing, have long been manipulating the subconscious to maintain a capitalist status quo that benefits a white elite. It emphasizes the importance of financial literacy and consciousness as means to resist this manipulation and unlock the collective power of the Black community.

Opinions

The author views the Great Resignation as an opportunity for a 'come-up' rather than a setback, highlighting the potential for positive change in the wake of the pandemic.
The article criticizes the corporate world as a 'plantation' that perpetuates systemic control over Black individuals and manipulates their subconscious minds.
It is argued that the education system conditions people to become 'good soldiers for capitalism,' often at the expense of their financial independence and well-being.
The author believes that a lack of financial awareness keeps people, especially Black individuals, from realizing their full potential and challenging white supremacy.
The piece suggests that once the Black community becomes fully aware of its potential, it will become a dominant force globally.
The author encourages Black people to break free from the hypnosis of American capitalism and to pursue financial literacy and independence.
The article implies that symbolic gestures, such as placing Maya Angelou on a quarter, are insufficient forms of recognition for the Black community's contributions and struggles.

More and more Black people are leaving the corporate plantation and starting their own businesses.

Right now is a time where a lot of people are quitting their job. How many of you have ever heard of the great resignation? Well, the Great Resignation is where lots of people are just done with the corporate plantation. They realized that there is a life outside of the job — it’s like a great awakening. So the pandemic wasn’t the best, it was tough for a lot of people, but one of the benefits of the pandemic — cause remember every setback is an opportunity for a come-up if you look at it in the right way. Just like in investing, you talk about buying the dip of a stock, that’s an opportunity for you to have a come up. If you can get past the sadness of a price that’s dropping, you can then see the opportunity in the fact that the prices have dropped. So the same thing is true here, with this setback of the pandemic, that was an opportunity for a comeback and a come up because what it did was that it snap people out of the hypnosis of American capitalism.

As Black people, and just as people in general, there’s a lot of effort to control, manipulate, and manage your subconscious mind. When corporations design commercials to get you to use your Black spending power in a certain way, they are tapping into your subconscious mind. When you are going to school and they are teaching you to grow up and get a good job and go deep in student loan debt so you can go work for a white corporation, they’re tapping into your subconscious mind. So, effectively, to a certain extent, they’re hypnotizing you at an early age to become a good soldier for capitalism. Because the thing about a capitalist system in America is that it doesn’t work if you don’t have your soldiers doing all the work. The elite people don’t want to do all the work, they get the tax right offs, they make the investments, and they control the capital.

So they need the workers, they need that labor for it to work. So a lot of the systems are designed to put you into a trance and to make sure you’re not financially woke. When you’re not financially woke when you’re not conscious instead of being conscious — which is something that I encourage everyone to be — that is exactly what the white supremacists want. Because the last thing that the white supremacists want is the masses of Black people to finally wake up and realize our true potential because once we do, we become the most powerful people on this entire planet.
