This is the only county in the world, where you can start off in the bottom 10% and work your way to the top 10%. We all have smart phones and access to the internet. Education and opportunity is in the palm of your hand. We need to get off of social media and spend our time educating ourselves. There is so much money out there but most of us don't know half of the opportunities available to us.

    The thing I love about Sir Charles is he is so down to earth, doesn't take himself too seriously despite being rich and really enjoys life to the fullest. Of course he jokes around with anyone but when it comes to serious issues like racism, supporting good police but speaking up on unjust police killings of black men, speaking up on the bad people within his own race he is usually right. What I don't understand is that there are blacks out there who really dislike/ hate him in barber shops I've heard for myself and on other UA-cam channels , etc.

    I absolutely loved the open conversation you guys had here. Phenomenal dialogue. Charles was able to express his opinion and what he believed openly and comfortably. Don't get me wrong, we know RC is a smart dude. But man, I really admired Ryan's ability to articulate his thoughts on social justice issues, and the pushback he gave Charles on some of his opinions. Everybody made valuable points. Very healthy conversation you guys had. Keep the heat coming!

    This is by far one of y’all best interviews y’all have done. I think it’s also big what chuck said about both parties, I truly believe at the end of the day both wings are on the same bird man, and we truly have to move with the mantra “we the people” we are the ones that truly have the power to change our communities we can’t just wait for rich people on both sides to get up in power and expect something to change.

      @@TheSands83 Stating the facts is not victimhood. And no one said because you point out racism or inequality you can't still build and live a prosperous life. And though i understand exactly what Charles is saying I still believe voting is very important. To allow others to dictate who's in office and the laws hurts our community even more. The reason why we see so little progress is mainly due to low Dem turnout for local and midterm elections. If our vote didnt mean anything then they wouldn't try so hard to stifle it.
