@Loretta Gregory Bowe, Bloomberg just announced that Walmart will assist Women owned businesses with financing their ventures. I also suggest Dave Ramsey’s book called “The Total Money Makeover” as well as utilizing a trusted Financial Advisor for your business venture.

Many people are unable to empower themselves because they cannot get their financial house in order. The 7 Principles “Baby Steps” in the Total Money Makeover allows anyone to achieve financial security through properly managing and growing their income.

What do you mean by openly criticizing our people? Tell that hypocrisy
to Herman Cain……Allen West……J C Watts……Clarence Thomas and
of course Powell until he bowed to pressure and became an Obama
kool-aid drinker!

I’m not a fan of Tavist Smiley but he has always made an issue of the well being of Black America which is why he didn’t jump on that Obama band wagon that these Uncle Toms continue to promote!

Also Loretta Gregory Bowe, just take your wherewithals and make it happen. The proof is in the pudding, you just secured 300 7-ll locations without this career politician who has done nothing for Oakland.

Obama.

AND!!!! She changed her tune so fast (24-48 hours) that it was obvious that the White House leaned on her. She back-pedaled quicker than a progressive radio talk show host.

Didn’t take much to calm her, did it? Maxine Waters made a huge tactical mistake in asking black folk to unleash her and the CBC “on Obama”. Was she so meek a Representative that she couldn’t stand up against whom she felt were the POTUS’ supporters and do the right thing. That seemed to be the gist of what she was saying, which reeks of cowardice and the lack of leadership ability. African-America needs new leadership. It is time for a massive changing of the guard.

I love your comment Jackie Kidd!!! We seem to always be more hard on our people. If we have something to say why it can’t be done behind closed doors instead of doing it in front of everybody? I am sure this is how Jewish, Asians operate! They don’t put all their business and problems out there!!!

A house divided against itself cannot stand. If we continue to be divisive about the President’s leadership it will diminish his electability. I think that is the game plan for for the TeaParty. We are now marching to their drumbeat. Where were the naysayers, Waters, Smiley and West for the past several decades when the margin for unemployment for Blacks was always double that of Whites? Why wait until President Obama get into office to make it an issue? We are doubly represented and always have been in every facet of this country: foster care, prison population, high school dropouts,etc. Do they really believe he would be able to reverse these trends because he is President? Give me a break. I am disappointed and angry at our people who are on the bandwagon of bashing this man.

Ms. Waters, I am a women and a minority owned business from New Jersey. The name of my company is Simply Britt’s Gourmet. I have taken something fom my kitchen to retail! Of course the challenging is getting funding. But the other frustrating part is when the procurment/diverity department of some of our fortune 500 companies say they are there to help the small business grow but they give us small businesses such a hard time! If you are able to supply give me a shot if not make it a little easier by walking us through the process. Don’t shut me down after one phone call. Help us to make it happen. I don’t and will not take no for an answer unless it is not a fit with the company then I will move on, if it’s no a fit tell me why. I have just secured 300 7-11 locations for my product. Give me a buzz and I will be more then happy to discuss in further detail. In advance I say thank you and look forward to speaking with you.
