Nikki Brooks: 20 Takeaways From Kanye

My 20 Critical Takeways from YE for YOU (in no order of importance): 

🚨 LONG KANYE POST ALERT 🚨 

Kanye is NOT:

1. Being discriminated against. 

2. Being persecuted for free speech

3. Exposing the Illuminati 

4. Kanye/Ye is Suffering consequences for his actions.

5. Just because speech is FREE don’t mean it won’t cost you. 

6. The old folks used to say “Don’t write ✍️ a check with your 👄 that your 🍑 can’t cash.” This situation aligns. 

7. The benefit of Partnership and Employment in America is a choice and privilege - not a right.

8. None of us have the RIGHT to offend partners, employers or anyone else and still be entitled to the partnership or it’s benefits  💴.

9. You aren’t going to partner with, pay or employ anybody that is disrespectful to you or your family so what makes you think companies like Adidas have to?

10. See number 8. 

11. You are not entitled to retain the partnership, support, business, services or money of anything you disrespect. (See #8)

12. A lot of people actually hinder their personal economic progress because they see #8 as a game they don’t want to play. (Looking at you Monique 👀)

13. Playing the game is optional. Getting rewarded from the game when you won’t play by the rules is impossible. (Looking at Mo again 👀)

14. Others get to define what respect is to them, what it looks/feels like and they reward/consequence of such.

15. Choices have consequences. You get to decide the choice - not the consequence. 

16. It is upsetting that there is tolerance and normalcy for disrespect towards Black folks.  Yet The principle in #12  still stands. 

17. As a culture, Black Americans are so comfortable with abuse that we believe it’s not abuse if it’s not happening on par with what we are enduring.

18. Instead of complaining about Anti-Semitic standards, adopt them. Cuz as a black woman I want all of y’all to keep our name out your mouth. #BonnetChronicles 

19. Kanye is unwell. And he is exhibiting a lot of behaviors that are symptomatic of various diagnostic categories that respond well to EARLY behavioral therapy and EARLY treatment. 

20. A lot of folks are talking about this because he is a celebrity. Many people need to be talking about this because there are a plethora of symptoms he has presented for years that lend themselves to tons of issues in you, your loved ones, and YOUR CHILDREN that respond well to therapy and treatment.

My thoughts: Kanye has lost $1.5B in a matter of days, and folks say he's a genius? Unless the definition of genius has changed, there's nothing smart about losing billions in a matter of days for talking crazy. A "genius" would make the system work in their favor.

Friday Sermon: Stop Proving Yourself

Learn to be ok with people missing out on you. Stop proving you’re solid & move on! 

I’m glad people miss out on me because it means we’re not good for each other. I don’t fit in; never did & wanted to. I do me. In my mind, people who go out of their way to prove their solidity to others are insecure. They aren’t comfortable enough in themselves to be unbothered with acceptance from the masses. People who are truly solid don’t have to prove it to others, they are solid whether people realize it or not.

Thursday Message

Those who misuse God’s word will be dealt with by God. Our job as believers is to pray for them and follow those who are preaching the truth of God’s word. 

Wednesday Message: Hate Is Not A Good Look

It’s enough money out here for everybody. I can not and will not hate💯No 🧢

Watch those who undermine someone’s success. They say “Everything you’re trying to do, I’ve already done it.” Ok? Not everyone was born with advantages, some people had to give everything they have to accomplish what you take for granted. To me, those people appreciate success more because of what they went through for it.

Morning Thought

I can sit in my House 🏡 all day, enjoy my own company & not bother nobody. That's how chill I am 😌😎 

Supreme Court Blocks Student Debt Relief Challenge

I giggled when the Supreme Court struck down a legal challenge by 6 Republican-led states to block Biden's student loan forgiveness program because it's comedy. Are the Republicans that hell-bent on stopping relief that could help tens of millions? It's crazy.

At this point, the more Republicans try to challenge Biden's student loan forgiveness program, the dumber they look because none of the challenges will hold up in court. 

Let God Do His Work

Learning how to do this daily. I’m not 💯 there yet, but I’m getting there. I’m learning how to see the rearranging as beneficial to myself, but for his glory.
