He's just a race hustler. Period. Yet the black communities are so blinded by what these other pastors and race hustlers like Quanell X say, it's hard to get them to form their own opinion AND to realize that they are getting robbed.
Every marginalized community needs their own version of Robin Hood or a savior, but they are failing to see the outright theft. Literally every person QX has represented (to my knowledge) has gotten zero return on their investment.

I think you should run for office. You are bringing it!

Trying to force someone to like you, accept you, engage you, love you, or interact with you is tiresome. Some of these people would be better off exerting their time and energy building for themselves than fighting a losing battle. It is a huge waste of time and seems so damn exhausting.
You must not be married

I was 16-17...
Would hang out at Chuck e cheese...wait for a party to get done, ask them for any leftover tokens, then eat their leftover pizza...
They had the best cabinet version of track and field in town and I played the shite out of it.
Ate free, played free.
Until they threw me out for loitering...I still went back, too

the manager had asked them to buy something or leave and they bought a $3 muffin, the whole situation is avoided. The issue is that they wanted to use the Starbucks facilities without purchasing anything from the business.
It’s a for profit business not a public library. The only thing Starbucks did wrong was cave to idiot outcry

I’m sick of this black and white thing and the whole generalization of each race. Not all black people are free loaders and thugs and not all whites a racist. Black people need to realize that not all “victims” are victims and whites need to realize that racism is real and blacks are sometime biased against instead of defending and deflecting the problem.

So, is this something that appears a lot in majority white schools as well? Parents sticking up for their kids no matter what refusing to punish them..
I went to a high school that was maybe 10-12% black. And hell yes, white parents would defend their child to the death.
I had a friend (white guy) who was caught skipping school shortly after he started driving. So like 10th grade or so. We took this journey together and smoked us a joint. We had planned on going back after partaking, but were just too high to go back. His parents were called by the school and my parents as well. They honestly did not beleive their little angel could ever do anything like that. I was given a drug test by my dad and didnt do anything but get dropped off by him and picked up from school by him for the entire spring semester that year.
Nothing was done by my buddy's parents. They told my parents it was basically all my fault that I had pressured him into doing it. They said there was no evidence that He would ever do anything like that He ended up failing 10th grade because he continued to skip school to smoke weed. He ended up dropping out the next year and died of an opioid overdose at 22 years old.
TL;DR White parents and their children suffer awful consequences defending them bc they try and protect these kids from real life.

I love to be around black urban people in a traditionally black neighborhood restaurant on the west side of downtown Atlanta. My company has a plant there and I often go and get lunch at K&K Soul Food because all of my drivers and Plany guys love the place. I am always the only white guy in that long arse cafeteria style line. Some of the looks I get crack me up inside but I always end up engaging the people around me and never fail to have great interactions. I am comfortable with them and they can see I am at ease. Positive vibes abound and people can sense that. Just people, being people who love awesome food. For the most part, if you act like “why wouldn’t I be here?”and you treat people with respect and kindness, you will get in return no matter the color of your skin.
