What I learned from the boondocks
My emergent strategy at 68?
Recognizing how fast the system is dissolving before my eyes?
When Spirit gives you clear signs and portents, there is no need to reinvent the wheel!
I share with you what I learned from a YouTube influencers channel about HUGHEY FREEMAN from the series from adult swim BOONDOCKS
I never watched it. But I recently binge watched some amazing summaries/critiques done by Sparkup (@sparkup515); I include #1 16 minute video here:

Next, use this EDU-taining survival manual (over at YouTube for the last three weeks/ created by "black wealth" channel (#BlackWealthUncut; 20 min video with first 13 min most relevant):

And, I made Cliff notes for you!
Huey Freeman, the tactician in Boondocks: the way through in a world meant to confuse distract and destroy black folks:
--he doesn't react he calculates
–he models emotional control; he speaks truthfully/ he observes and when he doesn't speak, he is listening
– he reminds us that the most dangerous person is the room is the one who knows the truth and has no need to shout it/what makes him powerful is his ability to “slash through the noise with the truth”
-if you react to everything you get /if you move with strategy, you become the system’s glitch
– Protect your mind from the most powerful weapon there is: MEDIA
– all our screens are WEAPONIZED to control what you value/ what you chase and how you see yourself
– what you see every day is a curated stream designed by algorithms to sell you things
– Huey Freeman “curated his own influence”
– you don't survive the system with luck you survive it with preparation
– Huey Freeman's system in real life:
–EMERGENCY FUNDS
– skill stacking
– legal literacy (because there's court system is stacked against you)
– health awareness
– information control
– if YOU are on a path of purpose, expect to walk alone3
– SILENCE is what keeps a pattern repeating
–WHAT WOULD HUEY DO, in 2025?
“Let your work be your voice”
“he would plan for the worst while building for the best”
“ survive the system, BY NEVER BEING PART OF IT”
We are weaving a network of EDU-tainers, and encouraging each of us to figure out how to stay connected to catastrophic change without being overwhelmed by it.
