Great thread. We have to overcome so much. Too many of us are not aware of whats going on. If you are an successful black person you should try to do something to uplift your people. I'm not just talking money, but time. To to the kids in a community center or something. The next generation must know the truth about our history, and we must turn around our current situation.

How though?

Good question. I'm not going front like I have all the answers. However I think if we can make people aware we can make progress. I'm stunned at the lack of knowledge people have. You have to start when they are young because it is hard to get adults, or even teens to change. I use to try to kick knowledge at my local community center to high school students. We made a difference with a few kids, and that was cool, but we didn't reach the majority. It made me realize that you need to start early if you are going to make a real difference.

I've pretty much come to the conclusion that you won't get anything in this country if you don't get up and do for yourself. This is why entrepreneurship is so important, as well as watching where exactly the dollars we spend end up.

Small business is the backbone of America. I work, but it's not in vain. I've invested my money, god blessed my credit to get right, 401k, stock, bought my first house and I take advantage of ALL comcast has to offer. Free perks, free trips to universal studios, discounts galore, getting my raises, etc. when I leave that place for whatever Christ has next, it won't be in vain, I'm leaving with some things. Most of them cats i work with have been there same time as me if not longer (7 years) and have nothing to show for it. Car notes, shoes and child support smh. My nicca, I stretch that 24.57 an hour. Beleedat!
