I never understood this "we are all one" grouping, this is a by-product of slavery. Society is composed of classes. The world operates in layers especially in capitalism. White executives do not hang out with White trash. Asian engineers do not hang with the Gucci bootleggers in Chinatown or pool their money with them. They operate within their own circles and families and with each group connected working towards a common goal. Poor people need to pool monies together and work towards a common goal. Hell even oppressed uneducated slaves did it! Black people spend money like water. Middle class people should pool together. Upper class blacks (250K + households) should do the same. I do believe the upper class and middle class should donate money, or set aside services to pay it foward but it is NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY to invest in low income neighborhoods, its up to the occupants there to want it for themselves. There is enough drug money floating around to start a damn corner store, they open discos and strip clubs, and sometimes churches in shyt neighborhoods all the time.
Upper class blacks should be buying sports teams, owning leagues, working on global distributions, agribusiness, financial institutions etc instead of wasting resources and time on Ray Ray and 'nem. Excuse me, my elitism is rearing its ugly head. Also our problems can be solved in a generation or two if people created better families. The community is shyt because there is no honor and fam is shyt. Talking about investing in a corner store when you know damn well there are blood relatives that you would trust borrowing 10 dollars from you.
