one thing that would help is a program to assist black owned businesses to market and advertise equally as white businesses do.I was especially impressed that only 36% of Blacks are impoverished. That means there is a thriving Black middle class no matter what the statisticians do to demonize them.Ican agree with nearly everthing you said here. But I had to step up to debunk the notion that the value of Black labor is based on cheapness rather than quality. I don't believe that for a moment. Employers want to hire the best because shoody work means the competition with high quality workers will take his/her customers. No one is going to risk that by hiring and maintaining marginal workers. Ideally, though blacks were far more self sustaining during the Jim Crow era.
On the whole, black businesses and entrepreneurs thrived during the era of American apartheid.
Given your reply, you might find this article interesting. It's a short read but it gets to the point:
Walter Williams: Black Self-Sabotage
I think what Dr. Williams was trying to point out is that the problem blacks have today is not inherent. The problems blacks have today is liberalism. As he said, substituting the father with a welfare check.
I grew up in the 70's, and the white kids that were the most problems came from a single parent family. The movement was just getting started, but those were the kids that were always in some sort of trouble either at home or with the police; petty stuff for the most part, but they were different than those of us that came from a two-parent household.
You guys love to listen to sellouts.
