When adults have mental issues, whether diagnosed, or gone undiagnosed, that lead them to act out erratically, or not like a logical, pragmatic individual.
Example: "they aren't playing with a full deck."
Damien: I ainât going after nobody! They are fully grown adults. If they choose to go out that door, mad, or whatever, so be it.
Jimmie: Well, they may be fully grown adults, butâ¦
Felicity: (Cutting her father, Jimmie, off). But they arenât playing with a full deck.
I first heard the hyphenated word, Afro-tech, being used in a song called âLegacyâ from Sean Carterâs 13th album (4:44).
In one of his lyrics Jay Z says - âThat's major, just like the Negro League.â
Meaning: In the late 1800s, Blacks were not accepted in baseball, which eventually led to the formation of the Negro Leagues in 1887. Many leagues would form and collapse due to attendance issues, but the most reputable league was the Negro American League, which lasted for almost three decades. Even though Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in 1947, these leagues lasted almost two more decades because of racial tension in the United States.(Genius.com)
Then, in a following verse Hov goes on to say - âThere was a time America wouldn't let us ball.â
Meaning: Jay Z is creating a connotation between the previous exclusion of black people from American sports, to now the exclusion of black people from the tech world. (Genius.com)
Iâd actually go further and say the exclusion of not just black people, but any person who are the consumers using the tech however not being able to profit from having the opportunity to create the tech.
Example:
You: You donât have socials?
Me: Nope.
You: You a psycho?
Me: Lol, maybe.
You: That creepy ass laugh isnât helping. Explain yourself?
Me: Look, using that tech is going to get you hurt (and I mean that as a double entendre).
You: How so?
Me: Not only from the amount of time you waste on it, but even to how it makes you feel.
You: Well, I make money off of it. And when Iâm not, itâs entertainment.
Me: (Laughing) Okay.
You: I do.
Me: Okay, I get it makes you money. Iâm not mad at it, at least you are doing that much.
You: I am.
Me: But you still use âtheirâ platform in hopes to make some money. And âtheyâ sit back and make billions, each and every day.
You: (Pondering)
Me: Mhm, and that profit is made all off of you.
You: Damn, never really thought of it like that.
Me: None of us do. But worst of all, that ainât even âtheirâ end goal.
You: Wait, what?
Me: But thatâs for another time.
You: Fuck, all that tech ainât worth what it is.
Me: Nope, it ainât. And on top of that how many of those tech Startup Founders, CEOâs and, or Board Memberâs look like us, or come from where we come from?
You: Prolly none.
Me: So, they get you hooked while you like sharing pics, videos, letting your thoughts out in to the world, but reallyâ¦
You: (Cutting me off)⦠but really, Iâm getting used and being left.
Me: Afro-tech.
You: Well, fuck all that. Imma start something and get them hooked.
Me: Oh really?
You: Yeah, Paybackâs a Bi$ch.
Me: (Smiling) Time to ball!
