Last week, there was a privilege to attend President Donald Trump's inauguration. The highlight for me was his speech when he said the following words: “I end the government's policy to turn race and gender for everyday life. We are colored. Build a society based on brands and benefits. “These words are simple and direct, all needed to return this lost country.
My neighborhood on the south side of Chicago has been on the lost road for so long. That was not always the case. In the 1940s and 1950s, worker -class blacks and entrepreneurs lived on my street. There was a established separation, but these blacks did not affect it. In fact, they were against it. They practiced American values, but were sometimes better than white people on the other side of racial gaps.
One of the most famous examples was Samuel Fuller, which opened the cosmetics business Fuller Products on the 63rd. Fuller was born to Luiziana's share cropper, dropped out of the sixth grade due to poverty, and started selling door -to -door products. He moved to Chicago, where he worked in a coal garden, then worked as a representative of insurance and then pursued his business. He was so successful that he became the wealthy black man in the United States.
Discipline needs discipline to resist the identity's politics and tilt it to his personality. But it's worth it
However, in light of Trump's comments, the most impressive story of his story was that Fuller believed the principle of the United States and the merit. He made thousands of sales representatives work, even non -black people. He cares only if they sell. He once said, “There is no difference in the skin color of the individual. If the cows are black, red, yellow, or brown, they want milk that can be produced.”
Above all, Fuller believed the power of capitalism. “If you have capitalism, you have freedom.”

We have lost these very valuable lessons after the 1960s, after the war on President B. Johnson's poverty speech, poured in our community. Our government said that they would design our rise from racial repression of the 4th century, not us. Sadly, we betrayed our era and sold our souls for the door penny.
Instead of uplifting, we gained what we gained, the rules in a house that helped to destroy the family, family, and standard schools, and endless violence in our neighborhood. Liberalism since the 1960s never talked to our better self. It brought out the worst of ourselves.

That's why when I heard a simple Trump word about returning to a color brand and merit -based society, it was quite personally attacked. That's what I've been preaching to my people all the time -your problem is not a white person, but your lack of development. We need to strengthen this message from all aspects, and we can no longer permit us and us and our efforts.
The road in front of us is not easy, but why should we pay the previous generation to the previous generation failure? Our work is starting, and our ambitions are nothing more than the creation of more Samuel Fullers to make the United States better.
