Shaquille is wealthy and you and Jesse are broke. Don’t blame the NBA because players don’t have money management skills.

Like Jesse Jackson said, NBA are kinda Slave owners. 60% NBA players broke after five years retiring, Chris Rock said SHAQ is rich but his BOSS is wealthy.

Satchel I understand ur point, but our community is hard pressed on the facts of wealth, we take it that wealth will solve all our problems, when in reality wealth is power nothing more nothing less if we ever start valuing wealth over being the most loyalists consumers since the advent of consumerism with nothing to show for it, then that’s when the build can start, also kept quiet in our community on purpose is that wealth is a group thing not a singular person thing, like many have been tricked into thinking in the black american community, spending money on bs, is because our images are about promoting a few things bossip, celebration of celebrity, and materialism.

Totally agree with Satchel………..Wealth is relative! This article is completely off base. Lebron James is a young man earning a multi-million dollar salary to do what he loves which is far more than what Buffett earned when he was Lebron’s age. The difference between Buffett and too many others is Buffett “earned and saved” his money which is the cornerstone to empowerment.

There are people who think that many Black men who were lynched, were looking at White women or were killed for other reasons. The reality is most who were killed were entrepreneurs!!! Dr. MLK in his last speech before he died asked our people in Memphis to remove their money and put it in Black banks. This is what Dr. MLK was doing with his own money. We need to wake up and smell the coffee!!! Ther is book called “Our Black Year” that I strongly recommend. We should all buy Black not just for one year but forever. All the other communities in a subtle way boycott us, we should do the same!!!

I recommend strongly our people to read “Dear White America” by Tim Wise. He is one of the few Whites who denounced (and by the way he received death threats because of that) how his people with White Supremacy used historically (until now) people of color to be rich. He is fearless to talk about White privilege!!!

The reasons why our most popular athletes and entertainers aren’t making the money they deserve, is because they don’t value themselves or know their value. But as a community, neither do we. They have to have a mindset of ownership rather than endorser. We as a community have to have a mindset of supporting and creating Black businesses, rather than always being known for being the largest consumers on the planet, of other community’s products and services.

Every community is making a great living off of our hard labor, while we struggle to make ends meet. Sound familiar. There’s something wrong with this picture, but we don’t see it. I know why? Spending a trillion dollars in everyone’s community but your own, and then complaining about not having something is a sickness we need to start working on. This is an illness that we have control over and can cure, when we finally realize we have this illness.

Black Unity means financial independence and happiness

The nations obsession with wealth and making lots of money is, in my opinion if I may, corrupting our young peoples minds, to worship money. Children are born to loving money, they are taught this by us grown ass want-a-be rich, no asset having folks in their immediate communities. Ask any kid, before they are contaminated with all this overindulgence, what they want to be, and they will tell you they want to be happy and have fun.It doesn’t take a $250 mens belt or a $2,500 women’s purse, to have fun and be happy.
