Have you ever look through your timeline on Twitter and noticed the "everybody wants to be a rapper" tweet? Yeah, so have I. While that is far from the truth, it is safe to say that a lot of black youth in today's age are trying their hand in the rap game. The same can be (sort of) said for athletics. This is nothing wrong with this at all except...this seems to be the only two careers they are trying to reach for.

What is the 'Ingenious Movement?'
Ingenious: adjective \in-'jen-yus\
1. showing or calling for intelligence, aptitude, or discernment; marked by inventive skill; creative. 2. Imaginative and resourceful; clever.
In the 236-year history of the United States of America, there has been no greater system of oppression than the one designed to work against the African American people. No greater polarity has existed more than the one that we ourselves have created. For centuries, black people have been denied even the most basic civil and political rights, access to well-paying jobs, and even an appropriate way of living. This has led to a deep divide among each other on what to do. Do we acknowledge the existence of a system of oppression (or worse, deny it), but just let it continue, go on about our business, and try to make a living however we can with whatever minimum wage jobs we can get access to? Or do we rise up as one to bring awareness on said system and work to fight against and, hopefully, dismantle it in order to give our people access to the very best education, jobs, and way of life?
