Where have all the intellectuals gone? I want to meet someone that I can have a deep conversation with; a friend to explore the concepts of the world with. I love my friends, but I don’t connect with them on the level that really matters. I want to laugh about a commercial and then be able to analyze poetry and dive into history, becoming an activist for the cause of bringing back some of the ways that used to exist. I want to listen to a rap song – not the shallow rap, but the rap that spoke about something, and be inspired to raise up the Black community – or to make the world a better place in general. We dumb ourselves down so that we can relate to people…so one day, we forget that we are better than mediocre. So I ask again, where have all the intellectuals gone?
