Interesting playlists that Lenon Honor has put together. It will take some time to watch them all.

Being and old hip hop head, I can appreciate what the brother is saying. We can't be scare to reexamine things in our history that affected us as a people. Many of our ills came from being reactive to Caucasian culture; they act, we react. We must have the courage to look at ourselves and really examined things that we glorified for years and put it in its proper perceptive; EVEN IF IT IS OUR DOING!!! Hopefully, I'll be able to watch the whole video, very long!!

My problem has been my reaction to American consumer culture. In my youth I was susceptible to advertising and the idea of "If they have it - I deserve it too." This put me in debt up to my eyeballs and my greed lead me into a paycheck to paycheck, working poor reality. An unhealthy relationship with money spells trouble. The greed of the founders of the U.S. and Spanish imperialists led to all sorts of abuse, suffering and misery for both the oppressed and in turn the oppressors. I can't imagine any oppressor / bully feeling good about themselves when all is said and done.
