If you don’t work for it, you won’t value it. Lottery winners always wind up poor.

Obama would have the right to exercise his Executive Priviledge to do something, but this would ensure his immediate demise. Other races have been approved for reparations suchur as the Jews, the Japanese, and the American Indians. Our plight is known the world over and we have not received anywhere near the level of attention to this matter that this matter is due. The current crisis of the illegal border crossings of the people from Central America is getting more headlines than the slavery reparations issue. While on that point, remember how Haitians were turned back and prevented from receiving political asylum although they had valid reasons to stay. Like all other important life changing matters, we can not seem to have an intelligent sit down and honestly discuss the issue.

Our contributions to the building of this country have always been trodded on and downplayed. While any statistics of welfare or imprisonment can be made readily available. Get a panel with Dick Gregory, Paul Mooney, Louis Farrakhan, and Tavis Smiley to get this ball rolling and of course, Oprah Winfrey. Peace out, Papacool.

I wrote a great article debunking the argument you just made.

The 40 acres and a mule promised blacks is risk capital not received. It is a stake at the table of capitalism. White racists and I say white racists specifically, because all whites are not racists, can control who are major players in the game of capitalism by controlling who gets a stake. It is the biggest open secret in the world. At this time, the major capitalist nations of the world are attempting to restrict Russia’s ability to sit at the table of capitalism by in essence saying we will not allow you and your country’s major corporations access to our capital markets. In saying this, and I take no position on the matter but I merely point out how capital markets can be manipulated to achieve an objective. They are restricting Russia’s ability to raise money by placing limitations on their efforts to sell bonds, stocks and settle debts, because for the most part these activities are done through European and American based banks and investment companies. They are not honoring checks originating with some Russian government banks and companies. If you can’t do these things, you cannot effectively conduct business throughout the world.

Thus, your country suffers economically. The same thing was done in Africa, however, in different ways. When African nations headed by black leaders, some democratically elected, needed revenue to develop their resources (you can have great amounts of mineral resources but if you can’t get them out of the ground – they are useless) it was done on terms that advantaged and enriched the capitalist markets controlled by the Europeans, Canada, Australia and the United States. China is creating havoc in this set-up because it now is dealing with African nations on terms that suit it and they are more liberal. Thus it is forcing for the first time the Europeans, the United States and its allies to deal more fairly with Africa when it comes to raising money. Africa’s ability to be a major player economically in the world will depend on in part how well it can manipulate China and the Europeans-the United States and its allies in this game of capitalism, as it forces them to give it a seat at the table. Blacks are uniquely positioned in the United States to turn this system to their advantage, if they would start thinking like capitalists. What blacks in the United States need is a stake, risk capital if you will.

Reparations does not stand a snowball chance in hell of getting blacks that stake. But once blacks get a stake, they can use constitutional law and the courts to force racist banks to give them loans to start businesses. Make no mistake, racist lending institutions will be the next battle front, but a much less difficult one than that of getting a stake. Why? Banks are required to keep records and records can expose racist lending patterns. When thinking as a capitalist, you come to realize money can be gotten in various ways such as the saving and loan scandal during the Reagan administration which cost you as taxpayers $100 billion dollars in bad loans, almost all of which went to well connected white businessmen. If you focus on the bad loans, you miss the point. One out approximately seven business deals fail. Using this as measure, it means white businessmen during President Reagan’s tenure got away with a stake of $700 billion dollars!!

Many white businesses today owe their start to President Reagan. Now, you can understand why they love Reagan! The Davis Deficit Neutral Job Creation plan (http://thyblackman.com/2013/08/15/40000-00-to-each-black-person-retirement-is-the-answer/)
is a means through which much needed capital can be placed in blacks hands bypassing racist whites, however it needs your support. Getting money is getting money as we have seen with the saving and loan scandal. What you do with it makes all the difference in the world.

This plan will pump as much forty million dollars a day directly into black communities across this country for as many 18 years or even longer. That does not sound like much, does it?! Do the math. Forty million dollars multiplied by 365 days (one year) works out to $14.6 billion a year. Over tens years, that means, $146 billion dollars would be placed directly into black hands bypassing the capricious nature of white racists. Look, money is money….getting it is important!

Can any of you think of a better way of putting $14.6 billion dollars in black hands a year. Without “risk capital” we are going to go no where as the last 50 years has shown us. http://www.Jobcreationnow.com

If we only knew our value, we’d be major owners in these fields, instead of employees’s, endorsers and promoters of them. But it’s never too late to do the right thing, especially if it can change the course of a community’s economic problems. This is the course I choose to take. How about you? 2014 will be the beginning of positive change. Look for the news.

Black Unity means financial independence and happiness
