Question

There is a saying that goes something like this: the game will never be far as long as the referee is our opponents father.

The rules of the game are unfair, their are illegal calls on our team, not to mention the other team got a 100m head start.

My mother (Joyce) used to always tell my older brother & I that in order to be equal with our white peers, we will always have to work twice as hard; and to surpass them, it will take that much more work.

However, I have found this only to be relevant if we choose to play the game by their rules. I mean think about it, the game has been engineered to ensure our failure. The game makes sure that the establishment profits off of us no matter what we do, "fail" or "succeed".

So my question is, why don't we play our own game? Why don't we "do for self & kind". Instead of begging for a place at a table that does not want us and has always given us the leftovers or scraps, why don't we set our own table.
