Someone in my messages was asking about my background today .. asking if I come from money. No way, Jose' ! My mom worked in a factory, military family .. union family. New England, 5-5, come home eat .. church, study, shut up.

White privilege, yes. Rich - no way
Any nice thing you see in my pics I worked my ass for. Hard work. It's been a long road. A long, long road.

The American Dream is what you make of it. But it will be a hell to even try to claw your way up. My family laid the seeds through work, not old money.

Never judge
It all started after WW2 with gramps coming home. Then the Italians became "white" and he qualified for the no-interest home (the joys of the 50s) and it was all uphill from there.

Property is / was essential.
That opportunity needs to be extended to all, esp afr americans
Here is the story of my gramps getting shot down by Nazis .. but they couldn't stop him. He landed in France, found a dictionary, and kept evading those Nazi bastards .. and worked his way back home. With his Mom's spaghetti on his mind the whole time! https://95thbg.com/cms/2020/6/25/delvento-pasquale-eampe-report
My friends ... no matter where you come from. Never forget it. Don't try to "use it" ... but never forget where you come from. Not trying to be a fortune cookie ... just saying.

We are a product of our circumstances. It is what it is. It's about how we live our own lives
