Time to do some accounting. 18 Years before my birth we could perform for white crowds but we could not intermingle with them@in public places due to Jim Crow laws. So it changed a little, now we can mix with others as long as we shut the front up even in arenas where we are the cash cows. “Shut Up and Play.” “Shut up and dribble,” “Shut Up and Dance.”, “Shut up and Play Football.” #Shut up and play tennis.” “Shut up the police ain’t shooting that many of ya”ll just some.” Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up. So I wonder what would happen if we did shut up for just 7 days collectively. I mean all social media, all shopping outside our community, all shoes and clothes, all restaurants, all sports, all forms of entertainment and we went #Blackradiosilent #Turnofblack Share no suggestions, ideas, creativity, labor, everything black. Our creativity is the GDP of the black community. The Buying power of the black community is 1.6 Trillion Dollars a year and rising which means we are economically the 11th largest nation in the world after Canada at 1.647 Trillion and before Russia at 1.578 Trillion. So how do we have so much economic control and have no power or voice in choices all while being everyones kicking post. If we stood up to our economic value for equality we would literally bring the global economy to a halt in less than 6 days. Just some thoughts to chew on. We need to stand up different. #darrellroachof of #darrellroachdesigns maker of #darrellroachjewelry #powerofthebla https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck9kMl7skKO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
