The only time white people pay attention or listen is when you hit em in the pockets. I don't ever expect these people to ever look inside themselves and see their white supremacist ways. These Asians, Jews, Arabs,etc have figured out something blacks have yet to figure out and that's how to recycle the dollar in their communities. We cannot keep depending on whites to change their ways or lend a helping hand. Blacks need to learn financial literacy and at some point a generation has to make the sacrifice and leave something (wealth and knowledge) for the next generation to build on.


I honestly believe the worst thing to ever happen to the black community is the end of segregation and the Brown vs Board of Education. It basically forced blacks to assimilate lose our culture. The school system is on some white supremacist ? imo. It teaches blacks how to be inferior. It doesn't give a full perspective of world history and all the ? blacks and other minorities have achieved. Just that we were slaves and inferior. smh

The bold is the only thing in your post I disagree with. That assimilation ? wasn't forced on us. Most black folks with money back then were tripping each other up to move into white neighborhoods and disassociate themselves from where they come from.

Assimilation was a choice and it was the wrong choice only because of the way some of have handled it.

I was telling my brother in law the same thing last Friday. Everyone should be skilled in financial literacy if not then you are going to lose in the game of money & wealth

The bold is never going to happen no matter the race of people. What needs to happen is black people who are financially literate need to look out for those who are not instead of trying to get over on them to make them some extra money at the expense of a fellow black person.

Everybody can't fix cars or build houses but just because the person with money can't do that job doesn't mean the black mechanic or contractor should ? over the black person with money cause they can't do their job.

Accentuate your fellow black brother or sisters skill and look out for each other. A favor for a favor. If a person knows money do the black owned HVAC company books or taxes and let the HVAC company always make sure your heat and A/C is working and your ducts are cleaned at your house or your mother/father house.

? ain't that hard to figure out. Everybody has different talents and skills we just need to bring them together to help each other out whether its through direct payment for services or this for that bartering type of deal.

Funny you're the biggest Jay-Z fan/stan on this forums. What did you think about him dedicating a song to a White fashion designer while they were Black ones he could promote with his clout?

Last time I ? check Beyonce and Jay employed a ? ton of black folks. All them execs over at Rock Nation and Parkwood Ent.were black. He put Kanye on, put J Cole on, Rihanna on and they put their people on.
