Williams Esq.
- The controversy of Eboni's statement
We and Eboni are both black lawyers residing in New York City. Let's get that out of the way. Eboni K. Williams Esq. stated that she wouldn't date a bus driver, she didn't state that a bus driver is an inferior human being or lesser person than her. She isn't a fan of dating blue collar positions such as bus drivers which she should not be. Let's analyse that by sizing her up. First, Eboni is attractive. Not an opinion but a fact, Eboni is a healthy weight with healthy height, healthy hair, clean teeth, well spoken, exceptional hygiene, appropriate attire, clear skin & proportionate facial symmetry. That's a plus. Eboni is obviously a lawyer which correlates with wealth & education which contribute to class. I'd rather be educated with 7-8 figures than rich with 8-9 figures. Eboni graduated from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, one of the most prestigious universities in the United States of America and Loyola University New Orleans: College of Law. Excellence, instantly ranks higher than 100% of blue collar workers. Let's analyze the net worth of a lawyer and bus driver in New York City:
- Lawyer: $215,000
- Bus driver: $47,680
Average American salary: $59,000
Now, that we've analyzed this. The average MTA driver makes nearly $13,000 less than the average American meaning average pay from an average ass job equates to a subpar pay and an unsatisfactory ranking amongst other occupations rather than consistent mediocrity. To put the salt in the wound, a bus driver is not a career. It requires no skillset that's intermediate or advanced but blatantly basic. Eboni K. Williams is worth more than $3,000,000 and we haven't got into TV deals and her being a New York Times Bestseller.
- The year to earn to intellect ratio
We do know Eboni's age, experience and net worth but not her IQ so let's assign her the average Intelligence Quotient of American Lawyers, 125. Here's Eboni's and the average bus drivers portfolio:
- Eboni K. Williams
Age: 39
Experience: 15 years
Net worth: $3 Million
IQ: 125
- Bus Driver
Age: 54
Experience: 6 years
Salary: $47,680
IQ: 94
- The verdict of statement 1
A bus driver doesn't reciprocate the same legacy and goals. I'm all for First Lady Women and Presidential Men being equally yoked or at least a power couple.
- Debunking the personality debate
Personality is overrated. As a rich young man, it is totally offensive to make the statement that only a blue collar, low tier, TV dinner eating man can only be possible of being a man of honor, respect, valor and character. It's very offensive! Most blue collar workers are reformed degenerates or active degenerates. I'm not saying you can't be a wholesome blue collar worker but the difference is, white collar careers usually contain discipline, work ethic and strategy rather than just working hard. You do need a plumber to fix your leak but you need that lawyer to set up your estate which makes a bigger impact. A lot of white collar career workers do contribute your philanthropic efforts, contribute to the construction of your hospitals etc. A bus driver may get you there but that cardiovascular surgeon will save your life, that's more than money it's character! Moral of the story, blue collar workers build the world, white collar career workers lead the world. Nonetheless, morals are in the heart not the pocket. That millionaire can be more morally sound than the $60,000 a year HVAC worker.
- Divine Nine Connection
I'm a member of the Omega Psi Phi, Eboni is a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha and to pledge & be initiated into the Divine 9 is one of the highest honors you can do in the social world and especially the black social circle. It is the secret elite society when being a bus driver is once again, not grand. Like the late great Kevin Samuels spoke on the concept of "Average at best"
The average woman SHOULD NOT qualify for the Presidential Man.
The average man SHOULD NOT qualify for the First Lady.
- The Race Card
I see people complaining about her ex-fiancé being a white man like that matters. A man is a man & he was presidential. From this controversy, we seen the black Presidential Man count isn't high because I've been the first to defend her. Apparently, it's full of blue collar C students. The white guy was not blue collar, poor or a classless mark yet had standards, discipline & class. She found her a man with a resume reminiscent to hers, despite the breakup. I'm sick and tired of black men upset about a white man getting a black woman as if he's any less despite him statistically and significantly outperforming black men, collective vs. collective. Stop equating black with struggle, grit and mediocrity and then elevating that struggle, grit and mediocrity as if you're an equal or superior to other markets, it's insecurity. Another form is how people promote the "C student" myth to run from the hierarchy, accountability and discipline. We need blatant facts and we're not equals.
- The come-up is overrated
This is a multiple choice template.
A - Eboni doesn't realize that she's incompatible.
B - Most modern men are not accomplished enough.
C - All of the Above
Me personally, I think it's C. I think Eboni may have an unaware flaw. I know a lot of men are not accomplished enough but delusional to the fact of having options. So C is my bet but B is glaring.
Let's get into Eboni's age, she is 39 years old. She doesn't have enough time to get with a guy who's in the building stage or as we call them, late bloomers. Some of the fact that she's single at 39 is her mistake most definitely and missed out on most 39-40 year old men who lived up to their blue chip potential. Here's the thing, the come-up is overrated. I coach men and young boys to get on track from Jr. High through College because life is short, opportunity is variable and the early bird gets the worm. Get out of the foolishness, put your head on the swivel and aim at an 180 degree angle. A lot of men, in particular love to fuck up and have a redemption arc. I realize people aren't perfect but as men, we need to be close as we can to it and realize tomorrow isn't granted. Live in the present but live for the future. Went over some heads, living and living for aren't synonyms. Living is the active and living for leads to the reactive for the active. To hell with being the underdog, #1 or nothing.
- Tough Love for Low Expectations
The black community is filled with low expectations and a mentality that average is just good enough because at least we aren't picking cotton in Mississippi and getting our spines ripped out in Florida. To hell with the previous generations, I don't see Asian-Americans, Nigerians, Indians, Cambodians, Middle Easteners, Thai people, Sudanese, Japanese, Samoans, Jamaicans & Trinidadians saying this. We're in a competition and that's what Eboni is trying to get black men to understand. No, you're a C student, get better. No, second place doesn't get a trophy but the agony of narrow defeat and wise man uses that to build his championship DNA. No, you're a salutatorian which is marvellous but still fell short of expectations of the valedictorian. This is love and reality because why can't you be the best, they're not genetically better than you, right? It's all merit, right? Average, typical, mediocre, slightly above the water, decent, good is NOT good enough. Why be the majority of the world? Be the upper crust not the center. Elevation not uniformity.
That'll wrap it up, thank you for viewing and go follow Eboni K. Williams on all social platforms and check out her new book, Bet on Black at Barnes & Noble.
