The problems in the black community are overly discussed. All of the same issues are analyzed on panels and in books. My own understanding at the end of it all is that communities that do well have a great standard that anchors them. Black people did not have a standard, or so I thought. It became clear to me that black people have embraced a standard after all. It is called the “bills to pay” standard.
The “bills to pay” standard is simple. We are supposed to do whatever it takes to earn enough money necessary to pay our bills. Rent, car notes, clothing costs, etc. take top priority in our lives. Every other principle or activity is secondary to our bills.
This is liberating. I have always been one to fight for the larger principles like justice, freedom, equality of opportunity, and wisdom. With our new standard we do not have to protest when a police officer shoots an innocent person. That officer has bills to pay. We do not have to criticize prejudice employers. Those employers have bills to pay. We do not even have to be angry with Wall Street bankers who indulge in criminal activities. They too have their bills. With this new standard no action is off limits. We have finally arrived at the moment where it’s all good.
The new “bills to pay” standard is a savior. We have now been set free. We can sit back, throw our worries outside of ourselves, and watch as our humanity disappears.
