(ThyBlackMan.com) “The mass of black men lead lives of quiet desperation…”
The solution is simple…however the execution is the real challenge, and you’ll see what I mean as we proceed. First, we define and identify the true “Black Bastard”, which by the way, being recognized as a “Jew Bastard” is a badge of honor in certain circles. But for us, our best and brightest individuals are uniquely assembled in one group…sports (for those of you who disagree, we can argue about that in the next discussion). Why are our Athletes leading the Black Bastard Society? Because they can speak their minds and take action while no “corporate” counterpart can (and expect to be at work the next day).
When a system is purely based on merit, as in sports, skills and knowledge are not transferable. No manager or supervisor can take what you can physically do and have you teach it to the next guy so he/she can be in
charge of you or even take your job (sound familiar?). Keep that thought in mind while recognizing that most of us can’t compete in the sports world or our playing days are long over. However, the next best thing to moving into Black Bastard status is acquisitions or business buying your way out. Ok, I know, here comes the excuses along with shock and disbelief. I’ll wait till the doubters leave this article and head to the kitchen.
Now for the rest of us, here is the plan. There are tens of thousands of small to mid-size businesses for sale through out this country, from tax-prep firms to publishing houses. The model is to purchase on-going concerns in “their” neighborhood from the retiree or underperforming asset of a larger company.
The vast number of “mom and pop” to mid size businesses are up for sale due to senior management and ownership ready for retirement. The family members of the owners and managers are not interested in the ownership or participating in these decades old companies and businesses, (in many cases family built or founded). Thereby abandoning a perfectly sound and profitable company with no legacy or line of succession. The same logic applies to large firms with subsidiaries that have maxed out revenue streams.
Safety in Numbers
If all the planets are aligned and the stars are in perfect….imagine 10 brothers turn left at the same time and combing 10% of a down payment to collectively purchase a business and yes, businesses. Like legs to a chair, you need many to avoid falling over.
From personal experience, it’s a lot more successful than starting a business.
So there it is a simple, straight forward and doable solution. It’s the only way for the average working brother to reach the goal of speaking your mind everyday just like the majority does and leaving a ready career slot for your children. Now of course, there will be challenges (here comes I told you so!) but no one is here to convince you of the obvious alternative and expected outcome. Let’s see how many line up to join forces.
