Our problem as a people is the direct reflection of what this writer requests; help from the government! We need to stand alone, build on principles and character rather than flaunt jewelry and flashy cars. It is time that we step to the plate as parents and take responsibility for our children rather than persecuting our schools for them not learning. Take pride in our ability to out-work the competition!

I have owned multiple businesses in the last 46 years- with no college education and barely scraped through high school. I can say that we actually have great funding if we do our homework and have a valid business opportunity.

Again, it’s time to STOP BLAMING OTHERS and start taking responsibility for ourselves. I’ve seen this approach work with many youth, as well as people that I counsel as they transition out of the correctional system.

Great Article! There are many African Americans who have a tremendous amount of business experience through their tenure in Corporate America. They should step up to the plate and start investing their know how and connections in the communities that have raised them.

It is UNACCEPTABLE for NABA “National Association of Black Accountants”, NBMBA “National Black MBA Association”, 100 Black Men and the likes to continue to BEG Corporate America for money to help their communities when they could just as easily donate their own time, energy and resources to uplift these communities that have nourished and cultivated them.

NABA, NBMBA, 100 Black Men and the likes have the wherewithal to create more jobs in their communities than the so-called Jobs Act, they’ve learned from the best, Corporate America!
