Let's make this perfectly clear, this does not apply to ALL black men, just the ones who are vocal about what needs to change, the economic state of African Americans in society, or how other races exclude or discriminate against us, etc while making no effort to change any of these circumstances. These are the brothers who are all talk, example of this type of black male, you may have seen him years ago and back then he was talking about other races, discrimination, the system, getting paid less wages than we deserve, what needs to change, etc and in 2016 he still is all talk, and is making no attempts to change anything. And years from now, still won't.
"I ain't got it" is a phrase they only utter when it's time for business, or investing in something other than toys (or lottery tickets), because when it comes to flossing i.e. sneakers, clothes, clubbing, etc they always somehow find the money for that. These same males will complain about being underpaid or discriminated against by other races, yet do absolutely nothing about it.
But....it's not just the "dusty", hood black men who make excuses about building (despite what some ppl claim). It's not just JaQuavias who does this, it's also the more successful black men with good jobs who complain about things, and then say they "don't have it" when it's time to actually put their money where their mouth is.
One thing those brothers have in common is that they are all talk, regardless of how much they make. They complain abotu the system, what needs to change, etc and after asking what actions they want to take, in order to make progress as black men, suddenly the excuses come, "i don't have the money right now" but, these same brothers always have money for toys. They complain about black american men not being respected as men, being treated as little boys,etc but when it's time to show and prove, and actually back up what you say you believe in or want, many of us do act like little boys. Don't have money to do business, but somehow ALWAYS have money for toys.
And yes, this is what i've noticed in my years of being self employed. Some black men won't want to hear this, but if i was lying, there would be more black owned businesses (and black male entrepreneurs) than there curently are. Black american men as a collective are more comfortable with receiving a check from an already established white owned company than doing something to create our own.
This is something the complaining brothers need to truly think about and answer:
1- U say things need to change for black men, but what do you actually invest your disposable income in?
2- Do you want to have, or do you at least support a black business?
3 - Do you, or have you ever, discouraged another black men from starting his own business?
4 - Do you back up what u say you are for? Meaning, do you put your money where your mouth is when it's time for business? Anyone can talk a good game, but if u aren't bringing RESOURCES to actually execute something, then it's just talk. No one takes complaining serious, you need resources, and if you don't have them, you need to put your energy into getting them. Because talking about what you're "gonna do one day" isn't cutting it. You can't just complain and then wonder why it isn't respected. If you provide lip service and no actual action, people will think you're all talk, which is why black american men are really starting to have a reputation of being nothing but smooth talkers and con artists. People will take you more seriously when you are actually serious about business instead of toys.
These same brothers who complain, and won't invest money into something lucrative, will easily 'invest' hundreds if not thousands in sneakers, clothes, strippers, cars, but when it comes to actually doing business, suddenly "i ain't got it".

and you're right, those same exact cats will complain about not being respected as black men, but don't understand why.
but they know how to choose wives and partners. Don't know if it's all virility, vasectomies or just those brehs are taught how to manage impulse and sexual energy and the importance of creating life ties with the right women/families.
