I don't think we are professional victims.That's right. But independent of them, we have our problems too. If we solve ourselves, I believe we can fight white supremacy. White people need to ask themselves if they really don't like us being "professional victims". I promise you, a strong, self sufficient, mostly independent black race is far more scarier. Be careful what you ask for.
Whites keep telling us how we are dependent on them, but our money is in their banks and that means they do have a responsibility to allow our money to be used for development in our communities. We pay taxes that go into the local, state and federal pots, and we should get the same return on the money we put in as whites. So then since whites seem unable to understand these things, we need to take our money out of white owned banks and create more black banks. Then whites will no longer have to worry about having to pay for us, even as that is has never been the case.
And we have to get leaders who think. For example, Marathon Mike pumps up this black pastor in Chi town who raised money "to create solutions in the hood." This brother raised 18 million dollars according to Mike. And what did he do? He built a community center that would provide job training. He should have built a 24-7 grocery store. That would have provided jobs, 3 shifts, 7 days a week and would have solved the problem of inner city food deserts for that specific community. So you are correct about changing a mindset, but I don't know if you can call it professional victimhood. I think in this case it was internalized racism.
So if whites like trump can get 40-50 year tax abatements, why can't backs who start businsses in black communities get 5-10 year tax abatements to develop businesses? When whites talk about handouts, they forget about these things.
