I’m creating an organization that solves the problem of unemployment, investing, and funding new and successful programs that are already working in the community to solve the other problems we have. For more information, click on my name.

$1 Trillion in spending, no doubt is enough to change things. What is more important is how that money is spent. The notion that we are primarily consumers is true, real and should be to directed for our benefit. If the major food companies barred us form their stores, would we starve or would we set up our own food system. We have Black farmers who can’t a bank loan,Black food process workers, Black long-haul truck drivers, warehouse workers along with butchers, bakers, grocery store managers and plenty Blacks with money to spend. What say you Economics major researcher, author and proud African American.

o invest or produce;

Blacks in higher income groups, also spend 300 percent more with “high end” retail grocers

Businesses that contribute to and play a part in the black community are also found to be attractive to African Americans. Two of the biggest and most successful examples of this are Toyota and Procter & Gamble.

@Stanley

Unfortunately you appear to be a highly misinformed black man, I would suggest for you to read material written by Dr. Claude Anderson and Dr. Jim Clingman both are noted experts in economics and black economic development. And another thing that would help is that you should not become so emotional when you are called out on facts. Good luck.

Realman: (If that is your real name) You have a problem with reality! Your racist views have clouded your perception and forced you to see the glass half empty. The premise here in the article is that Blacks are a force to be reckoned with in the era of 21st century buying power. I say that from the perspective of an Economics major; researcher, author and proud African American. May the grace of God allow your racist views to be seen within the context in which they were given.

Black Americans have money but they just don’t have good sense, they waste all their income with other racial groups and basically ignore their own.
I also disagree with the author’s statement that it is only a notion that blacks are misguided consumers, well it’s a proven fact that 99.9% of blacks are completely misguided and ignorant about economics and financial matters. I would the author to provided concrete real/accurate research findings to support his claims.
