agreed on all points but ask about how we define "destiny" for any Americans, be they minority or not. That is, let's change the American Dream to something better, more manageable, more sustainable. The biggest joke is on those who strive, push, work, throw their whole lives into "making it" only to find that they are now living in a cold, white world full of deadlines, less sleep, more pressure, less joy.

Yes, it’s a pretty shitty time to be “successful” lol. It does take a bit of the pressure off though to CRUSH IT. It’s kinda like, there’s no shame in just living and being happy now—if you can figure that part out.

Living and being happy is the revolution except it's one more step than that. Success as it looks right now is so fking bland. Ultra clean houses and driving a new car from here to there. Where's the life in that?
