LeRon Barton once shared his thoughts on a movie he saw, "Hell on High Water". 🎬
In the film, there's a quote that struck him, "Poverty is like a disease that goes from generation to generation." 🔄
This powerful statement resonated with him, as he reflected on the society we live in. A society that is not only marred by racism but is also deeply rooted in capitalism. 💰
LeRon's thoughts echo Malcolm X's words, "If you find a capitalist, you find a blood sucker." This paints a picture of a country where the importance of money is paramount.
He further emphasizes the struggle of growing up without resources or a stable household. This struggle is not unique to any one ethnic group. Italians, Polish, Jewish, Irish - they all faced similar struggles when they first arrived in this country. They were stereotyped, discriminated against, and told to go home. 🌏
LeRon's reflections serve as a reminder of the importance of understanding and breaking stereotypes, and the role each of us can play in creating a more inclusive society.
