He might see it differently if he reached that age. I wonder what would have happened if he reached 30.
Would he have been a Jay-Z, Ice Cube or Dr. Dre or a Suge or Dame?
My hope is he would have been a political Jay-Z. Auteur Ice Cube. Or a black philanthropist Dr. Dre.
His theory fits nicely into my theory that this country has no love for old black men but I can't give to much weight to the point of view of a 25 year old who didn't live it.

7.5 years into my 30s and I'm still running at full tilt. I'm getting better with age. And I did wild shit in my 20s. I could've flamed out by now but I am determined not to.
America can't steal my soul - I keep that shit locked up.
and before i go home i spend most days plotting and planning and working and persuading and protecting and enforcing - all in an effort to get folks (mostly black) out of jail and keep them out.

If he had truly gone into a political sphere or even an activist one-- an assassins bullet would have still found him. I believe he really did have the ear of an entire generation and across ethnic lines as well.

if he had lived long enough to see the error in his logic. As much as he's revered, there were still things he'd yet to be enlightened by.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

by 30, most have settled down with a spouse and family, and are more concerned with their own personal and familial well being than fixing society's ills.

applies more to blk men who are 30 today than thirty year old men when Pad was alive
There seems to be a lot of mis-direction to no direction amongst a lot of blk men I see around that age group. The crack epidemic may have started in my generation but it completely engulfed and victimized the generations that came after us and then on top of that they had the prison industrial complex system that awaited them
But the flip side of that statement is that those of us who have or will survive the traps of living within America will be thee strongest and the best that our race has produced.
