  • 'Superior' atheiest beliefs...as displayed by Bill here....will always prevent the acceptance of reality and truth. Props to individuals & artists like Mos Def for exercising their rights to speak up against the rubbish fed to us by fake politicians and governments....

      Mos needs to understand what self accountability is.
      I’ll give you an example with my people. I knew people that are third generation who’s grandparents are illegals, but third generation is still living off the government and didn’t even finish school. Now that they have the opportunity and were more than capable, they don’t take advantage of the opportunities this amazing country gives you. Thank God my dad taught me I’m capable of doing amazing things regardless of my background. But hey, that’s just me. 🤷‍♂️

I’m glad you had your pops pero honestly bro not everyones got that. Instead of talking shit maybe try to spread wisdom, spread love. This whole system is against the working class, and we need more people working within our community instead kissing ass to gringos and the upper class who been screwing over the IS for decades now.

Hell, it’s because of gringos in the first place though that my dad was able to pay for my college. Almost all of his customers are White. Some customers for more than 25 years, bro. My dad now can’t find good help these days, people are lazy af.
      I’m talking about a culture where education is not stressed to the kids. I did my taxes last week and even my tax representative who’s Hispanic complained how our own people have tons of kids just for that tax money. That’s pathetic.

You know wages haven’t kept up with production for over 30 years now right? People used to get paid more for labor back in the day. It’s not our culture, compa. That’s what gringos try to tell us. It’s the environment we’re born into. If people didnt go broke over medical bills or get paid crumbs for honest work we would see a lot less crime and taking advantage of the system. Most people wanna do something with their lives, and most latinos have a culture of hard work, family, and warmth.

    Bill Maher's political views aren't necessitated by his atheism; they have more to do with his shallow and simplistic understanding of history and society. He thinks that specific tenets of religions are the cause of major conflicts, terrorism, etc., rather than economic and social factors for which religion can provide a rationale. I'm an atheist, but I don't yell, "Oh no! Muslims!" in response to every problem in the Middle East. Maher just has a simplistic formula that comforts him.

    This applies to all societies and organizations whether they be religious, political, or corporate. Why is it the largest, most influential organizations are structured as a hierarchy? Look at a company like Procter and Gamble, you think the board of directors allow the low-level distributors to vote on the direction of the company? You think governments allow the people to vote on the direction of the country?
