  1. Steve, though I have l always agreed with your comments, I strongly disagree with you on this one point. Financial equality and financial superiority are the keys to ending racism. Regardless of creed, color, thought or prayer we are all descendants of the dollar denomination. When you study the reason, call, origin, presence and destiny of the dollar, you uncover hidden values and equations far more valuable than the face value. Our firm has built and copyrighted technology for this purpose after 45-years of suffering crash after crash. Monday, we wrote a letter of endowment to Indy Black Chamber of Commerce with securities, franchises and a financial autonomy to build immediate wealth. Sunday we sent a similar letter to Dr. Francis at UMASS and before COVID we endowed Ball State. Maybe you can help us distribute the wealth and understanding. Write back.

  2. Anthony, I agree that financial equity and superiority is important. But honestly I would love to have a 79 million dollar contract equal to that of Russell Wilson, but realistically I lack his ability, athleticism and presence to read a defense in 10 seconds. With the 5 issues that Teleeb makes note of would it surely would set the course for the tide to lift all boats. I would love to better understand hidden values and equations proposition but just don’t have enough information.

    Though I find it interesting that you would right an endowment, why not inclusive of all people. We have fought segregation in this country for 100+ years and now we are reverting back to segregation. If “We the People” could eliminate the 2-3% of the idiots of all color and creeds, we can fix the remainder of the issues. I will never be Russell Wilson and I will be compensated according.
