Yes.
/thread. -
sorry bout typo, Damn mobile sh it corrects me when I don't want it
-
I say yes but at the sametime I feel. I never want a handout help with jobs is the best way.
-
yes. because Money is not enough you have to have power as well and to have power in this society your people also have to have money NOT JUST YOU.
-
I don't think rich Blacks should necessarily be obligated to help other Blacks, but I don't think reflects well when many choose not to give back to the community.
I don't care what anyone says if you're successful and Black then someone gave you some help along the way no matter how insignificant it seemed to you at the time.
Pay it forward and help some other up and coming people.

Nah. Help goes to those that help themselves. It's the nature of the beast.
Some win, some lose but we all die. -
these nights got money and power so ain't no excuse. u get JUST HALF of the athletes, entertainers, and movie stars and u got a few billion dollars

honestly,
i help out alot but i cant help everyone.
its real funny how ? think you owe them something.
just because you got it they think you should share it.
i help friends and do other ? when i want to but not because i have to.
sometimes i offer time instead of money.
but i can not begin to tell yall about how many ? think ? is owed to them off my hard work.
i have been called elitist, bougie, and accused of wanting to keep it all to myself.
its actually making me not want to help people.
i can help 7 out of ten but the three act like ? cause they aint get they hand out. thats just an example but ? get real mad an show they true colors when you dont help them orcant help them.
? act like you aint got to work or you aint busy.
Rich blacks should help other blacks but sometimes you cant help everyone and I think that's when people need to understand and move along...but don't burn bridges.

i agree, some just want a handout without the work ethic behind it. some are bad with money.
nobody ever tells those stories about how they fukked it up for others because of some much other ? .
some win and some lose........very good choice of words. -

but the problem is...too many people only see the fast money or want the quick turn around.
alot of people lack patience and lack a long term vision. -
Anyone who made it in the middle class has most likely let loose of a few dollars to family and not gotten it back.
In a perfect world rich blacks would be wealthy enough own businesses in the community and employ people. But in reality there aren't enough rich black people (I'm talking net worth not after tax employment income).
For now they should just provide inspiration and donate scholarships for kids in the hood. -
Of course. Help can come in many different forms. But if you in a position of financial power, you gotta send that elevator back down so others can get to that same floor you're on.

No, and non rich blacks aren't obligated to big up rich blacks either.

the winners cooperate and play as a team... keep thinking this is one on one...

i hear what all you ? are saying....i really do.
but how many of yall are in a position to do anything like what your saying?
if not, then when you get there, lets talk about it over drinks because i am sure you will have some stories. -
