Blood Money

America was built on blood. On slavery. On hate. White America got rich off Black labor—and that wealth? It didn’t stop. It just got passed down. Today, that same blood money still flows—through prisons, exploitation, and systems that trap Black families in generational poverty. Modern slavery looks different, but it’s still slavery.
Every dollar in this country is blood money. Every single one. Yet those who control it shame the rest of us for touching it. Poor or middle class? They’ll call your money “dirty” if it comes from certain places, from people they don’t approve of—because keeping you poor is how they stay in power.
People obsess over where money comes from without realizing: no matter where you work or who pays you, it’s all blood money. The rent you pay? Blood money. Your car payments? Blood money. That lottery ticket you bought, even the Mega Millions winnings? All blood money, because the origin of the cash is part of a system built on blood.
So here’s the question you should really ask: should we reject money because it came from a racist, a thief, a hustler, or someone society doesn’t like? No. The real question is: what will you do with the blood money you have, and who will benefit? No matter the source, it’s all blood money. The choice—and the power—is yours.
