His intentions when it comes to people who share the same hue as him is pivotal and important on so many levels. But goals like this is what gets the powers that be, to formulate a plan to bring this man down before he achieves the end goal. A wall street for your own, & black dollars circulating throughout the communities, is not ideal for certain people of power.

He's not just eloquent and articulate; he's also highly intelligent and a very smart man. Education is very important. In the course of his submission, I didn't hear any vulgar or nonstandard language use which is very rare when most African Americans are speaking. As an African who's more mentally affiliated with building values and respecting good morals, my heart is all in for Jaylen Brown. I respect individuals who don't allow money, power, and influence to change their core morals and principles. Most Americans are so ignorant that some even think Africans are less human and still live in primitive settings. The world now is a global village, and the so-called elites should just embrace the changes and stop the stereotype perception they've had in years. For those who care to know, I'm a Ghanaian and have lived all my life in Ghana but can confidently say I'm more mentally emancipated and liberated than so called exposed foreigners. God bless Jaylen Brown 🤎, he's a strong will man like Kyrie Irving.
