Good morning Good People,
I hope this letter finds you well. Cause I am writing from a position of great pain. Our country is being torn asunder and you seem not to care.
There are over 600 billionaires in this country, and only 6 are Black. It must be lonely at the top folks, but I have an idea that might help.
Currently the Black population is .more or less 50 million. Over 50 million folks that you and you alone can elevate with a stroke of your pen. Have I peaked your interest? Let me lay it out for you.
Create a charitable trust and give every Black man, woman and child $1 million dollars, tax free. Divided 6 ways that's a measly 9 mill apiece. Come on folks, that's a pittance. And kindly consider the tax advantages.
I often wonder how it feels to have the power to alleviate suffering, you my fine fellows can do just that.
With a million dollars per head Black neighborhoods could be revitalized, Black business will find a more level playing field. Black institutions of higher learning would see a massive boost in enrollment. Black owned banks would spring up all over the country.
We could replace the confederate monuments with renderings of you. Children would bear your names. This is a chance to put a whole population on. While money doesn't solve everything, it makes problems much easier to bare. You know it in your heart of hearts, because most of you started at the bottom.
By this one act alone you would be immortalized in song and fable. Think about the benefits to you personally. Yet more important is the benefit to your people. Your generous contribution would reverberate for generations. It would not be a handout it would be a hand up.
Have you read the headlines? Have you seen the viral videos? Have you driven through the inner city and seen all the boarded up businesses? The cogs that keep this country running are being murdered in the streets by 'people' charged with protecting us do just the opposite. To have the power to change this and not use it for the benefit of you fellow Black American Descendants to the Enslaved is maddening to me.
Yes, there will logistics to work out, and whitelash and a whole lot of other variables, but the one constant would be that you used your tools to save this country.
That is a legacy worth considering. Do the right thing Fam.
