HOW TO BECOME A SCHOLAR

So you consider yourself a "scholar" and like challenging others to debates to prove yourself? Having a degree doesn't necessarily make anyone a scholar but nor does being a well read autodidact (self taught person) make you one either. It's how well you accurately research information and can communicate that research to others that makes you a true scholar. If all your information is from memes or YouTube videos then it means you don't know anything. It just shows that you are a blind follower of other people's information based on how well it sounds but not on how right it actually is.

You're Not An Immigrant!

It irritates me a great deal that anyone who is a person of melanin born in the Western Hemisphere either in Europe or the Americas that is a slave descendant or descendant of colonized native peoples would call themselves an immigrant or allow that false label. We were enslaved & colonized in Africa and the Americas. We didn't immigrate anywhere. Our ancestors "migrated", not "immigrated", to vastly unsettled lands and built thriving civilizations there. We weren't even infected with certain diseases until the Europeans invaded with their own diseases and wiped out entire ethnic cultures with them.
