America's downfall won't be caused by foreign enemies, economic collapse or lack of innovation. It will be destroyed by the very things It was built on. Racism, greed, power in the exploitation of the marginal lives. So let's start What racism ? America said, a centuries long addiction to white supremacy, from slavery to Jim Crow to mass incarceration to modern - day suppression. The system wasn't just built on racism, It still depends on it. And you can't build trust and unity and long - term prosperity when the foundation is hatred in division. Now let's talk about the power Because America doesn't just chase power, it hoards it at the very top. Power is CA concentrated in the hands of a few, bought and sold two billion dollar lobbying firms and dark money in the people at the bottom. Well, they're distracted and divided and disposable. But power with no accountability always turns inward. It eventually devours it's own. Then there's greed. Ah, America's true religion. Every institution in health care, housing, education, even justice is for sale. The rich don't pay taxes, Corporations exploit workers, billionaires, flat space while families can't afford insulin. And no emperor has ever survived when it values profit more than people in. Finally exploitation, This country built it's wealth off the backs of stole in people on stolen land. Into this day. It thrives off keeping black, brown, indigenous, immigrant in poor communities and struggle. It's modern day plantation capitalism wrapped in flags and hashtags. But here's the warning, You can only ignore the cries of the oppressed for so long before the system breaks. While America continues to argue about whether racism is real, the rest of the world is moving forward, investing in education, universal health care, green energy and collective progress. They're building bridges. America's burning them. And yes, if this country doesn't confront its demons, it will collapse from the inside out. Not because of the lack of greatness, but because of it's refusal to share that greatness with everyone. The future won't be stolen by guns, a war. It will be lost in boardrooms, courtrooms, and classrooms where equity is denied in truth is buried. And when America falls, it won't be a tragedy. EDI, It'd be a consequence. Share, believe, inspire blacks be.
