As the U.S. faces rising hate crimes, political violence and renewed debates over confronting its history of discrimination, MSNBC anchor and music obsessive Ari Melber reports on the roots of American capitalism, drawing on a poem/verse by Jay-Z on the Meek Mill song, “What’s Free,” marking its fourth anniversary. Melber reports on and interprets the verse within its poetic and historical context, from Jay-Z's juxtaposition of the National Anthem and Thanksgiving with American slavery, the 3/5's compromise and genocide; to the legal and political structures driving real estate property, intellectual property, equity, ownership and inequality in U.S. capitalism and labor markets; to the implications of racism and housing policies across generational wealth.

I recently learned that there are a lot of Hispanic and Black maga, but it isn’t really covered on elite MSM. And actually, what’s wrong with wanting to make America great again? The millions of people that have crossed the border under Biden aren’t doing it because America is a messed up or racist nation. They are doing it for a better life. So why are so many Americans these days so brainwashed by the elite MSM into bashing America or anyone who loves her? Perhaps the real problem is that too many Americans don’t travel internationally? For the haters, might I suggest that they travel to communist china and stay for a while, until it all sinks in? You don’t miss what you’ve got - until it’s gone. Lol

It's an art form as varied as paintings. Some paintings (and artists) are straight forward landscapes or fruit bowls, no need for explanation, and therefore not controversial. Not everyone loves it, but no one really dislikes it. Other paintings (and artists) are very abstract. Fewer people love it, some openly dislike it, unable to understand how seemingly random lines and splotches of color makes any sense, let alone worth millions of dollars. Sometimes context or artist motivation sheds light on the paintings, possibly changing your perspective and level appreciation. Whether you dislike, like, love, or greatly appreciation art, it deserves to exist, in all its forms.
