Acceptance. Do we live a life to be accepted? And I'm going to keep talking about my book Black Fortunes.

about that in a second, but if you live in a world where you know your very existence is an

affront to the people on the other side, being over there with your wealthy asses, being over there

with the audacity to come and quote unquote take money, because we hear this all the time,
