Suggestion:
Make as much money as you can in a just manner and use it for a just purpose.
What Is Money?
"Money is a medium of exchange".
We've all heard these words or seen them written. What does it mean. When a person has a product and they want to exchange it for another product that someone else has, the two people have to agree on the value of the two products. "Money" facilitates the exchange. The products that are being exchanged are essentially how you spend your time and energy. I suspect this is the reason the definition in the codebook of "economics" is "the best use of time and energy".
When you purchase a product in a store you are exchanging your time and energy (the time and energy it took you to receive the money saying and doing whatever you said and/or did to get the money) for the time and energy it took another person to produce the product in the store you are purchasing. An exchange of your time and energy for their time an energy.
Someone produces "money" and assigns it a value. They tell you how much the product you produced is worth and how much your time and energy is worth in producing the product by assigning a value to the product. Whether that product is working 8 hours a day sitting behind a computer (this produces a product) or working 16 hours a day growing corn (this produces a product). This essentially means the person that produces the "money" and assigns a value to it are assigning a value to how much your time and energy is worth. Which essentially means the person that produces the "money" and assigns a value to it are assigning a value to how much you are worth.
People don't exchange anything for money, they exchange things through money (medium of exchange). Your time and energy for someone else's time and energy and any products produced. All products are produced by thought, speech, and/or action.
The most powerful white people produce a product and that product is racism. The most powerful white people spend their time and energy mistreating people on the basis of color. The product the most powerful white people in the known universe exchange for the product of racism ,which is what they produce using their time and energy, is the product of white supremacy.
The most powerful white people in the known universe produce a product of racism and exchange that product for the product of white supremacy. The product of racism produced by the most powerful white people in the known universe that is exchanged for the product of white supremacy is exchanged through non-white people.
Non-white people, under the SYSTEM of racism (white supremacy) are money. They are the principle medium of exchange. No non-white people = no white supremacy...no non-white people also equals no way for the most powerful white people in the known universe to mistreat people on the basis of color (racism).

So by being able to DECIDE what non white people can and cannot do (time and energy); the White supremacists DECIDE what the value of non white people will be.
And they always choose a lesser value for non White people (prevent non white people from doing as much).
Does this make sense?
If it does it means:
"$100" in the hands of a White person is worth more than "$100" in the hands of a non white person.
It also means a "Harvard degree" in the hands of a White person is worth more than a "Harvard degree" in the hands of a non white person.
Am I following the logic?

Makes sense to me. What you are describing is what the codebook explains as Race Tax. All the racists (white supremacists) are trying to do is control your behavior. Sometimes we cannot see the forest for the trees. Some non-white people say that the racists (white supremacists) are saying and/or doing things to keep from disappearing as white people or because white people want all the money in the world or because white people want all the oil in the world...all they want is you...to control your behavior.
The white people who practice racism (white supremacy) can change the face of the people on the planet so that white people look like non-white in terms of skin tone and they can still function as white people. They have the technology to do this. The white people who practice racism (white supremacy) can and I suspect will make millionaires out of millions of non-white people and they can still function as white people. The white people who practice racism (white supremacy) can appear to be only consumers of oil products by putting all of the production and distribution of oil products in the hands of non-white people and they can still function as white people.
All the racists (white supremacists) want is you...a person that they can mistreat on the basis of color and to keep you working for them. All of the time and energy you spend in accumulation of anything under the SYSTEM of racism (white supremacy) is time and energy you spend working for the racists (white supremacists). All non-white people work for the racists (white supremacists) under this unjust SYSTEM.
Counter-Racism means you begin to work against the racists (white supremacists)...and work against them until you put them out of the business of mistreating people on the basis of color. This is the inevitability of the production of justice. Keep saying and/or doing things in a manner that promotes justice and you are working against the racists (white supremacists) by working to put them out of business.

Can money obtained from gambling/betting activities ever be considered as money obtained in a JUST manner? |
