AFRICAN-AMERICAN CONSUMERS ARE MORE RELEVANT THAN EVER

[Marvel]

and you are asserting that these groups are defined by ethnicity?

I took an a race and ethnic relation class in college and my professor showed groups in America and how they aggregate their money in their community. Jews were the highest followed by South Asian and East Asian. African Americans were at the bottom. It is no coincidence that these same groups also dominate a disproportional number of those in STEM fields. These communities were had a higher index of self-segregation in their daily dealings with other groups. It was weird to see that the groups that segregated more also were more successful as a group. That always stuck with me from that class until I started thinking deeper about why. We have a self hate mentality when it comes to dealing with money.

All of those services can be rendered to the general population. An asian person doesn't need an asian neighborhood to set up any of those businesses.

As I said before, that is icing on the cake. Its even better if they can get another group to help sustain their business. My question is: what black businesses are making their money off of another community? I will wait for your answer...

Can the black community even be compared side by side with another community in America?
I mean which group has a history in this nation that is close enough to make comparisons accurate and/or practical?

Since you are not black, provide an example.

Why/ why not?

The asian american population is so successful because a large majority of them have the skills to render six figure salaries, regardless of what community they serve. How is it icing on the cake for a community to be filled with people with valuable skills? That's not icing, its the cake itself.

My question is: what black businesses are making their money off of another community? I will wait for your answer...

What's this "black business" you speak of? I've never seen one or even heard of one so you're gonna have to give me an example.

To play devils advocate here completely, if a cac was in here saying we need cac business's and money to stay in the white community(ignoring the fact that they have them and do say it) you cant honestly say it wouldnt be offensive to some

I'm sure we will all agree its different, but other races dont hear it like we do... are you just saying fukk them?

fukk them if they cant understand why the most hated and oppressed people need to deal with our emergency situation, a situation their ancestors created and they inherit the benefits of

now if they are honest and understand that, then it's all good. i feel this way for all marginalized groups. i think women should start businesses so they can sidestep the glass ceiling when it comes to hiring and promotions. i think people of all ethnic groups should make indipendent movies to counter all this whitewashed hollywood nonsense. these acts are not hostile, they are meant to address an existing hostility against the downtrodden. when white people or any group in power tries to flip that, they are being evil whether they know it or not. hopefully they read forums like this and learn about their blindspots and how to be humane.

Why/ why not?

I'm just saying, how is it fair to compare two racial groups plagued by different stigmas and facing different hurdles?
Any two races too, not just blacks and ____.

Blacks in America have a unique history and face a unique set of challenges, both internally and externally so the results of any side by side comparison should be taken with more than just a grain of salt... it would seem.

Pretty much what i figured. Cool, cool.

you are right and Im not arguing against this. But that being said, steps need to be taken forward to slow down reverse the ever increasing wealth gap.

asia has the largest population of extremely low skilled and poverty level people on the planet.


It's not just any random asians that came to America. on a mass scale Indians and paki people are coming solely for IT and Medical work. Other asians are coming because they have the business hook up and because they will enjoy tax breaks that--- people who didn't immigrate, but were shipped over, don't receive.

The don't have every major law and criminal justice practice targeted at them first --- and then the rest of the US population second. Plus they come knowing exactly were they come from who they are and the culture is connected... for the most part.

IT's like comparing apples and tuna salad.

I don't think that's an excuse to why black americans aren't going into high skilled training in mass - -- but it's foolish to speak on that shyt by comparing it to some irrelevant random situation of other people.

Asian business owners and high skilled workers and even tech companies started coming to the US before America even got used to the idea of blacks being full citizens of the US.

Some of these older asians... have been in business before civil rights legislation.

Just because we built the shyt doesn't mean that every aspect of it isn't targeted against us. Even if we work for others, learn skills from others - our only focus should be on our own improvement and not the unrelated successes of other random (and still insignificant) groups in America.

.

I'm not sure how that contradicts anything I have said. Its very well known in the poverty laden areas of asia that the key to success is education. And so the ones that can make it to school and get good grades end up successful.

My point is, with education and skills, you succeed. The fact that you have people in poverty in china does not contradict that.

Is there a population of SKILLED people living in poverty?

The don't have every major law and criminal justice practice targeted at them first --- and then the rest of the US population second. Plus they come knowing exactly were they come from who they are and the culture is connected... for the most part..

blah blah blah maybe if blacks wouldn't gang bang so much they wouldn't have to worry about whether they go to prison for ten years longer than the white man. how about they stay out of trouble in the first place? I think its wrong, but I can't have much sympathy for them.

I don't think that's an excuse to why black americans aren't going into high skilled training in mass - -- but it's foolish to speak on that shyt by comparing it to some irrelevant random situation of other people..

It's not irrelavent. Skills = jobs = success
Stop making excuses for the fact that black america is skilless

Even if we work for others, learn skills from others - our only focus should be on our own improvement and not the unrelated successes of other random (and still insignificant) groups in America.

Again, you improve yourself by equipping yourself with skills people will pay for.

i hope ur not serious.

There are reasons why black america is only beginning to gain relevant skills on a massive scale.... No excuses here, but you really can't make positive change unless u know the history and causes of the issues.

Again, you improve yourself by equipping yourself with skills people will pay for.

sure that is how u improve yourself... but that is only a fraction of what we need for our communities. shyt, i could buckle down today and gain even more skills... progress futher in IT and never speak to another black person a day in my life. How would that help anything?

 

[bigDeeOT]

No it is not a fraction, its like 90% of it. How do you not get this? If people in our community learned skills, they wouldn't be in the streets end of story.

shyt, i could buckle down today and gain even more skills... progress futher in IT and never speak to another black person a day in my life. How would that help anything?

Furthering yourself is a good thing. One thing you could do is achieve as much as you can, and just go and talk to other blacks so they can be inspired by you. They in turn will learn skills and hopefully spread it along to their peers. At the end of the day, the goal is to make black people learn skills.

You're trying to make it seem like there's something else to it when there really isn't.
