There is a real need to shine light into this area; however, we must get away from generalities when we speak about remedies. You said, “Wealthy Black folks could do the same for the larger Black businesses” and Black investment groups could have a huge impact on small Black businesses—with due diligence…” Who specifically are the wealthy black folks who are willing to invest in blacks businesses and what are the names of their firms or investment groups? I really do want to know. I do not say this in a disparaging way because I know you are a gifted writer and a dedicated soldier in our war for economic freedom. However, come January, we will have endured seven straight years of double-digit unemployment. We just have to start talking in specifics, if there is any hope of convincing reluctant black leaders to draft legislation that will lead to solutions. That is all I am saying! They have to know what to write! Look, we are in a crisis here, as we are literally being tore apart economically as a race. This is no fantasy. This is really, what is happening on the ground in cities across this country. I respect your intellect brother. I do not know about your community but Black on black is beginning to rise in my community. We who have been intellectually gifted and can see the needs of our people really need to come together and agree on talking about specific solutions. In addition, we need to support those specific solutions that have promise. In this way, we drown out and fight back against the charlatans, like Charles Barkley who waste our time and misdirect our good efforts and intentions.

If we only realize that our power lies in us working together, rather than working separately, we would be unstoppable. That is what we need to focus on, and until we do, we’ll continue to hear stories like this.

Black Unity is the solution, 3ufirst.com is the plan
