I disagree with some of the recent comments regarding business success of immigrant groups versus Americans.
Outsiders coming in and opening businesses in Black communities in USA, Caribbean, and parts of Africa also.
Usually Arabs, Indians, and east Asians.
Members from these other places can chime in and cosign it or dispute it.
It's a pretty complex issue and I think people are simplifying it. Lot of these immigrants are from the merchant class of their countries, they have DIRECT connections to where a lot of these products are manufactured, and they are building on the backs of past merchants from their homes countries and their contacts.
Having said all that, our overall attitudes about education and entrepreneurship is one big L, that we are feeling the effects of over and over. Our priorities are fukked up.
People who talk about one(what immigrants are doing) without the other (what we aren't doing)are burying their heads in the sand..and setting up our next generation to be under the thumbs of the next wave of immigrants...Straight up.
