we can’t blame the system for the failures of today because even though we go threw struggles, if as a people we would come together and build our own companies so we can hire each other and have our own developments so we can help each other with shelter if needed then we would n’t be in this mess// time to get to work if they won’t give it to you its time we get our own //what ever happened to farming so we can have fresh fruit and veg. wit no chemicals added and why can’t we seem to understand to concept of saving your money verses buying everything you never had and is it so hard to rotate community programs teach them boys different way to get money other than by selling drugs learn investment strategies, teach the new generations the mistakes we made man, we want other People to come and spend time w/our kids cuz we want to go to the club man i’m gonna keep it 100 now i know that some people worked at their job for a good while and did everything right and is still getting the crappy end of the stick but this detail image of what america truly is should make us not even want to rely on such a Fowl system ////Time to stand up //United we rise

White privilege is a byproduct of White Supremacy. Having served over 24 years in the military, I have witnessed the effects of global White Supremacy. FYI, due to the daily trauma inflicted on the character of Black males by White Racists who walk among us in all areas of daily functions; Black males will never be able to be leaders of their family units, and communities.

The issue of White Supremacy is a subject Blacks need to address. No matter how much money and success, you are at the fingertips of White Racists waiting for you to get out of your place. First step to rehab is to take your Blackness Serious!

The Damn country was built on white privilege, thats why 95% of white folks get upset and mad when they see blacks fighting for their rights as Americans. Most whites have a sick and twisted feeling of pleasure when they see blacks suffering.

The gap in the unemployment rate is just the tip of the iceberg. Actually, you can apply those statistics to every aspect of blacks lives. It’s not only a gap in unemployment, but there is a gap in wages to incarceration,and so on. This is no surprise to me, because we are always at the bottom of the totem pole. You see there are certain entitlements that whites take for granted. Where a 7.4% rate in unemployment would bring life to our communities, whites complain it isn’t good enough. We can’t blame Obama for the economic woes and no he hasn’t done very much for blacks, but in Obama’s reelection I promise you he will level the playing field. I wonder what whites will think of Obama then, because there will be nothing they can do to him, since he can only serve as POTUS 8 years. Hold on to your hats my friends, because you are about to witness history!!!

As I wrote before on this website, the American government never produced an Oprah, Reginald Lewis or John H. Johnson and never will. Entrepreneurship is the key. The Asians understood this a long time ago and among all groups in the U.S. they have the lowest unemployment rate!!! It is time for us to wake up and smell the coffee!!!!!

Blacks need to emulate Jewish and Asian people who are strong on entrepreneuship. I am building my own business and I have a great Chinese friend who is super brilliant. She has a lot of experience in business and she gives me on a regular basis valuable information that I never got from the mainstream.
