I was going to leave #MagicJohnson out of this conversation.
But then he said this, which prompted several lessons.
Here’s what we can learn….
1. Propaganda is REAL.
The corporate media will reach back in time to evoke “celebs” from DECADES ago to push the agenda.
Celebs that evoke positive emotional responses from the demographic are best suited where there is no logic in the agenda.
2. Hypocrisy is in ABUNDANCE.
#MagicJohnson allegedly contracted HIV while having extra marital affairs while playing for the @Lakers.
He attempts to tell what “he would’ve done” as a moral push for current players, when his immoral actions back then is how he contracted HIV.
3. Contradictions are EVERYWHERE.
In game 5 of the 1997 @NBA Finals, #MichaelJordan allegedly played an entire game KNOWINGLY with influenza.
The G.O.A.T dropped 38 on the Jazz while being sick, but @KyrieIrving can’t play (he doesn’t have Covid) for arbitrary rules now.
4. Peoples memories are short.
These contradictions, hypocrisies and propaganda are all within our lifetime, but somehow the attempts to brain filth citizens work on some.
Those people don’t learn from history because they don’t read it study it.
However recent it is.
5. History is UGLY and that’s good.
We don’t study to give ourselves a pat on the back for how awesome and perfect humans are.
We study to remember where we were FOUL AF to never repeat it. The uglier the history the more powerful the lesson.
See “Medical Apartheid.”
6. Targeting Black demographics.
Melinated rappers, entertainers, athletes & influencers are trotted out to influence Black communities into experimental gene therapy, but there has NOT been the same level of non melinated “celeb” push.
In chess, the pawns usually go first.

There’s a “gun guy” who’s been on my dick for FIVE YEARS.
He’s done NOTHING of value in the community and since he initially became obsessed I’ve cleared a M, traveled the nation several times and served hoods across America.
Here’s what we to learn from these types of guys…
1. The power of focus.
If you stop to address every one barking at you on your journey, you’ll never get to your goals.
This dude shows up every year or so with the same lies, usually after one of his social media pages gets deleted.
They do it for energy. Starve goofys.
2. Let haters promote you.
I’ve met COUNTLESS people who’ve said “I found out about you when dude was going hard online about you. I came to your page after he commented about you and am SO HAPPY he led me your way.”
Your haters are a part of your marketing team. FOR FREE.
Trump made inroads wit the Black vote based on results.
A few so called “Black conservatives” supposedly trying to get more Black people in the Republican Party destroyed that.
It cost Trump the election.
Cultural competency is a REAL THING.
And I say this as a Libertarian who saw it play out.
He initially stood too close to goofballs who the Black community found disgusting.
They became more repulsive and pretended like they spoke FOR Black conservatives when they were just statists with self hate issues.
I believe he listened to advisors and they didn’t grasp that the Black community resonated with the real, not fake folks who are in it to just be popular.
The advisors didn’t know, actual Black people did tho.
He gained more of the Black vote cuz he was brash and himself.
