Mortal Man: Self-Help Books Are Poisoning White Men.

“Let these words be your earth and moon
You consume every message
As I lead this army make room for mistakes and depression” — Mortal Man by Kendrick Lamar

Dear white men:

You are being grifted.

Other white men are lying to you about the pain you feel because it makes them money. They use deception to distract you from the fact that the titans of industry are hoarding more and more of the money that your labor produces. These grifters are primarily white men. They point their finger in your chest and tell you that you are lazy and that is why you don’t have anything. Then they lovingly put their arm around you and tell you if you buy my book, buy my course, listen to my podcast, read my articles on Medium, join my Discord, subscribe to my Youtube channel, join my Mastermind and I will get you to live up to your potential. They are scamming you.

In America, we have been taught that this is a meritocracy society. If we work hard enough we can achieve the American Dream. I am black and I know that is not true. It is one of the myths that we tell ourselves. It is propaganda so we don’t pay attention to a financial system that has been rigged for the rich and powerful while the rest of us sustain ourselves off of crumbs from their table. They have tricked you.
