Reviews by Pancho @ "The Half Has Never Been Told " By Edward E Baptist

👥The Half Has Never Been Told 👥

This large-sized book is amazing. I normally don't start off the reviews like this but this book is something that I highly recommend for all people to read. The author Edward Baptist does a great job of connecting motives from the precolonial United States to the act of slavery and the profits made from it.

Baptist includes views from so many different angles; which ties into one of the biggest events to ever happen to the united states. He goes on to factually break down every moment that added to the success of America, the destruction of black people, and the wealth of other nations. Because of the book's extensive length, some might have to go back and re-read sections. I know I had to a few times while reading it, but it was worth it.

I really like this book because, for the first time in a long time, it feels like the right light was shined on the right views. If all people read this, I feel like they would learn a thing or two about how the world works, how pivotal it was for nations to have control, and how the world has still kept certain things as a reminder of how dependent they were on the wrong thing at one point. If eyes could be opened, I feel like that would positively affect the problems of society today.

We shouldn't focus on the past (common advice), but in order for us to fully understand the root of a problem, we must see the whole picture for what it really is; rather than seeing what we're only comfortable with. The best accomplishments are made when people choose to go out of their comfort zone. America as a whole could learn to step out of its comfort zone - so that it could possibly
embrace something bigger and better.

Thank you - Pancho.

My Personal Experience As a Bud Tender

Working as a Bud Tender in the corporate cannabis industry was a lot different than I thought it would be. I wanted to break into the industry as a Cannabis Sales Representative and decided that the best way for me to follow that path would be to work at a Medical Dispensary. I thought that it would be a great learning opportunity and a strong base for me to start with. After working at the dispensary for a month I realized just how low leaning occupations like this could be. It was no different than what you'd find at your typical retail center. Cash registers, useless managers, bogus work schedules that weren't even organized, and even lazier coworkers. Working for the medical cannabis industry was by far one of the best ideas I've had in a long while. The only problem is working something as low on the food chain as a Budtender. Positions like that could really discourage those who are seeking to join the industry. The gig as a clinical account represent...

Reviews by Pancho @ "Stop Being Niggardly" By Karen Hunter

🙉Stop Being Niggardly🙉 In this small-sized book, the author Karen Hunter ties a lot of great points to how the African American community fails themselves through the common things that have been done over centuries. Hunter uses a list of things that were originally written by Nannie Burroughs to compare and contrast just how far black people as a whole have come since the ending of slavery. During her statements, she holds absolutely nothing back - reflecting not only on her upbringing but the upbringing of other black people through her own eyes. Hunter shows the audience a true but heartbreaking reality of black communities, their intentions, and their small goals. Oftentimes, these things that African American communities are so used to are the exact same thing that continues to plague more and more of the generations being brought up. In the middle of the book, a brief historical moment is explained how some of the most notorious black figures harmed their peopl...
