You speak of blacks being at a disadvantage then proceed to bark that there IS no disadvantage...which is it? I am inclined to believe that millions of Blacks are enjoying middle class status though hard work and perseverance. But they put that money right back into a hostile white community instead of circulating every dollar in their own communities for as long as possible. Those Blacks with means need to pool their resources and create business entities that support their people. Blacks can no longer depend on white society to give them jobs or anything else. They must create their own jobs by any means necessary.I've got a better idea. Blacks need to own stuff. More Blacks need to control their own financial destiny just as they did in The black wallstreet era and in Rosewood, fla.circa 1923. Any time you are a minority in a hostile nation, looking for jobs in that environment is going to be problematic. Black autonomyFor the most part I'm on your side. I'm just telling you some reality. Lets not pretend a lot of young black men do not have a very good work ethic. We've all seen it at a drive through or at the supermarket. I'm not talking about all black people but you know the type.One unprovable racist anecdote after the other. Thse racist bahs-turds are incorrigible.Sure, right. Another ile.
They don't post here to debate, they come here to vent rage and spew hatred. Sadly, these bigots are a microcosm of society at large...indeed, these are dangerous times.
My brother has a very liberal spin on it. He says, "hey at least they are showing up to work". They may not be employee of the month and enthusiastic but at least they come to work. That's better than the folks who don't. So we cut them some slack at Tim Horton when they are slow and rude.
Seriously, I'm on your side but lets not bs each other here. Not only do black parents need to stress education more, they also need to teach their kids a better work ethic. Not yessa nosir massa but be polite and enthusiastic. Smile.
should be a national goal...and African roots should be replanted to capitalize on that invaluable cache of resources.
Black people are at a disadvantage because of their parent(s). White people learn about investing from young on because their parents are knowledgable of investments. That's why public schools (particularly in lower income areas) need to start teaching young kids about investing.
Black kids have this belief that the only way to success is if you can make a good rap song or be very good at sports. They believe there is no chance for them to have wealth because of their skin color, the neighborhood they were born into, the family they were born into, and yes, whitey is out to get them. When they discover they don't have the athletic talent and can't write music, many of them turn to crime.
If you know or are associated with any young black people, ask them what the stock market is all about? Ask them what the commodity market is all about? Ask them what they know about real estate? Ask them what they know about opening up a business? Ask them about compound interest, the bond market or CD's, and no, not the kind of CD's that you hear music on.
You will be met with a blank stare. That's what needs to change in this country.
That's very difficult in a black community. When my neighborhood turned black, business closed up or relocated to the other side of town because of shoplifting and armed robberies. They couldn't afford to stay in a black community. Even the new Super Walmart had to close it's doors for that reason.
If existing businesses can't stay alive, how is a new business supposed to survive?
