This is your problem. You read some books, and think they know how things work. I grew up with people who always worked for themselves,most of my family. I also hung around people(not black) who lived in well to do areas at one point(richest areas of nyc), so i know how things go. You can read a book, but books only tell the data, and even then if the person who writes the book is biased you still won't know the whole story. You have to experience things to understand or listen to someone who has no bias, which I don't.
I notice its people who never had real money always saying whats wrong with black people, and they just need to own their own business like that will change everything. I'm telling you first hand, it won't do anything if our politics isn't together, and we have people like "jdilla82" speaking for us, he is a dangerous to our community. Our economic issues, for the most part, have nothing to do with how we act, and more to do with systematic racism. By deflecting to "morals" for our situation, all you do is keep the real issues from being discussed, and helping those who use us to stay rich, stay rich. "jdilla82" has no idea how money works, I've seen him repeat shyt acting like he knows about wealth, but its abc shyt, and this was years ago. He's still doing the same thing! He's one of the reasons I had to stop posting here for a while, i got tired of ignorant shyt being passed around, and people just agreeing about what feels good. I'm starting to get that feeling again, because its not good for your health to be arguing all the time, especially to people who don't know what they're talking about, and won't concede to being wrong, just keep twisting words, and changing subject like he did with savings into homicide rates. shyt is tiring!
