Example 9: Black people could probably make it big if we didn’t have our work and ideas stolen. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had ideas stolen by White people or my proposals snatched by White folks who take credit, take raises, take promotions, and taking away opportunities for me to move up the corporate ladder. Even our language is hijacked and used by White folks for profit. When we use our words their bad. When White folks use them, they are profitable and the next cool thing. Potential is always fleeting.
