and I've never truly seen it that way...For me the amount of money one is paid in this society does not equal one's social responsibility.... (ability to respond). A person's social responsibility is part of one's duty when one becomes an adult, for me. It has to be that way; for if it is not, then adult hood, person hood, is a function of capital and that is as alienating a view as any model of society offered by the west, I believe.... No matter what that view is encapsulated in whether the cloak is pro-black socio-spiritual, political words or any other.
I guess my point is these men, these millionaires are no more enslaved than Bonita eatin' chicken wings at Popeye's because they make the same socio-political choices in their world. They both hate themselves and me regardless of their incomes. They both are enslaved, to what ever degree that hate dictates their actions when we view them and their choices as they act in this society. If they are not equal, then I've allowed their "loot" to determine their worth and accepted a western view point of a person's "worth". And that analysis is the same thinking which created slavery....
