Whips and Chains

An ugly part of U.S. history is the enslavement of blacks. A black eye on an already shady American history. With that said Native Americans were once too enslaved, but chose rather to die than to be slaves. The Africans for the most part allowed themselves to be controlled by whips and chains. The sad part about this is the trend I see today in sports, drugs, and entertainment. The first thing WE buy when We get on is a car, chain , or watch.  Sometimes all three. I say we because I"m not immune sadly. First NFL check I got went to a car, second to a watch, and third to a chain which none of the three i have today. Please don't get me wrong I'm not knocking the hustle I still will get a chain. All I'm saying is back in the days we were slaves and they controlled us with whips and chains. Now we get a little money and all we buy are whips and chains. Tradition? Hmmmm....
