Hey, fam! I’m Anthony. I’m fired up about meeting you where you are in a real, relevant, and relatable way. Here on this KZfaq channel, we’ll be having honest conversations about finding our authentic selves by living life based on spiritual, financial, and mental freedom. At the age of 19-homeless and deep in debt-I turned my life around by becoming debt-free, and I decided to spend the rest of my life helping people avoid the same money mistakes I made. Today, by the grace of God, that’s what I’m doing every day with AO Enterprise. You can rock with me on Instagram @AnthonyONeal or online at anthonyoneal.com.

I think our relationship with money is a large part of the problem. We are either anxious or impulsive with money. Maladaptive messaging is a major problem. We can't see the bigger picture, sometimes we have to sacrifice so we can plan for the long term. Meaning get out of debt, learn to budget, and create wealth.

I still disagree that these luxury brands market to us. Remember when Tommy Hilfiger, Christal, Gucci explicitly asked for us to disassociate ourselves w/ their products. The trauma surrounding house vs field folk dynamics still exists and is played out in hip-hop culture, where we constantly try and prove our success in comparison to each other. This is leading to our over consumption. Keeping up w/ the Jones' to FEEL adequate/successful. Surrounding ourselves w/ the symbols of freedom..but not actually being mentally free.

While I agree with the young lady from part 2 that we can't always just go around asking ourselves "what are white people doing", I think it's important to recognize that there is a substantial racial wealth gap that's been haunting our community for YEARS. The federal reserve did a study that found that the average net worth of Black families is just 15% of the net worth of white households. We need to start putting more focus on the steps we need to take as a community in order to start closing that gap.

Weston is truly enlightened. He hit on the most relevant issues regarding not just BLM but on a broader scale, the black community. I applaud him for not taking the popular position and standing on truth. I had the exact same experience where a white man supported and backed me in numerous projects. Even going to the point of threatening to pull out if they didn’t work with me. Conversely, I had a black executive stab me in the back because of rumors, when all he had to do was come and talk to me directly to get the truth. We gotta do better and we can but we have to turn a critical and truthful eye on ourselves. We’re doomed to continue hurting each other until we do that. On another note: does weston he have a podcast? If not, he needs to get one. We need his voice and others like his if we are to recall our people back to who we truly are, a people with infinite, untapped potential that we can use to not only transform our communities but the world.

This conversation is sooo real! Yes our people have really been going through it, but black men need to start loving each other and cherish each other!! The training has to start at home and the bible needs to be taught. I pray racism does end one day because God will not continue to allow it.

In my opinion, loss of self and not understanding that each of us have a distinct purpose is the main "why" to these questions. I believe we have such a slavery mindset within our people that was intentionally embedded to control. I strongly believe in once you know better you do better, but some ppl don't even know their undeniable and irreplaceable purpose God has placed in us because they haven't been taught to think that way. We have to teach our babies and communities to think differently and then change will definitely come.

Weston missed the mark, when it comes to the marketing aspect. The origin of black people's lust for "luxury" items started internally, with us equating success to these items. OUR community continues that trend.

I’m Chinese I mostly agree with your perspectives except the part about Asians saying we won’t support our business. I will be real that too many small Chinese owned pop and mom stores clerks have no idea how they should treatment of customers. Why? Because too many are too ignorant to realize that belittling us consumers will bring back consumers. To these Chinese clerks, learn how to deal with customers and have better attitude, then I will support more in our Chinese businesses. Seems like they never learn. As the result, many businesses have to close permanently because of poor customer service, Ask and Chinese shoppers and many will tell the same thing like me. Good video. Thank you for addressing why there is a huge gap of wealth. I personally didn’t know until this video that blacks are the biggest consumers in luxury products.

I’m a bit lost with the Urban Guru’s comment about how the designer brand are marketed to our community. I believe WE picked it up looking at what large amounts of money could buy, and that started the ridiculous chain the host made reference to while mentioning Gucci Mane and Jeezy. My mind went to how it came out I think in the 90’s/early 00’s that Timberland and Tommy Hilfiger admitted to not making their products for us. The. How we started seeing the complete disrespect to our ppl in the adds used for some designer labels in the 2000’s.

I live by how Sam Walton lived and brought up Walmart as I’m from Arkansas and have seen poverty. A billionaire driving around in overalls and an old f150 farm truck. He would visit his stores and observe and no one would recognize him. It’s not the persons things that build reputation and status it’s the character of the person and the respect for everyone else that garners respect and success.
