Is Group Economics Among Black Americans Just A Pipe Dream?

But if there are many accepted and workable moralities, there is no absolute morality.

There is absolute morality

Did You Know There Were 21 African American Owned Banks In The Country? - Urban Intellectuals |

I just read that small article & this statement below stood out to me.

"These banks all have majority, 51% African American ownership or more, black owners."

That gives me the impression that these "black owned banks" are not fully owned by blacks. It didn't say 100% ownership. Just 51% or more. They're probably also owned by whites too.

Why won't it become a reality? What's stopping us?

I'm gonna go ahead and say I think we may be predisposed to be uncivilized. There aren't too many examples of predominately black cities in the world in which we can hold a candle to and say look, this is how black people are supposed to live. I don't know if any such examples exist.

were we predisposed when blacks had black wallstreet in OK?

Not really. I mean, there are a few things that nearly everyone agrees are bad, and they're bad because they cause disorder and fear in any community where it happens, murder and rape being two prime examples. But as you delve deeper into morality, you begin to ask questions like: what is the meaning of life? what is the purpose of civilization? in the shorter term, what should be the goals of our own personal lives? what is the correct way to divide resources? who should get to make decisions for civilization? There are no absolute answers for these things.

I have a bit of a weird hunch actually. I think if Negroids were in a healthy lifestyle and strong economy, they could actually eclipse Caucasoids in intelligence (although I think Mongoloids are at the top, overall). The only problem is: they aren't prepared to want those things yet.

yeah really there is

it's a pipe dream if we aren't nationalistic in our views..... and if we don't focus on the mentalities. (of the masses)

All this talk about "black people dominated pre-history", "black people are genetically predisposed to laziness", "white people are evil", etc is some truly some material.


Three Rules

1. Race and culture are two different things, and races aren't very scientifically significant. This means that the vast majority of difference we see among groups of people is cultural, and culture is changeable.

1a. @bigDeeOT If there are racial intelligence differences, we won't really have visible cultural evidence for hundreds of years. That's how long it takes for tribal people to assimilate and 'old money' to lose its weight. Granted, economics is an asymmetrical system subject to quick jolts and redistributions of money, but cultural morality/memes are not. They take time to filter in and out.​

2. Power=success=alpha=leader=responsibility. Anytime that you blame someone else for your problems, you shift responsibility. Responsibility is the same thing as power, so you're giving up your own power, and that's why it's counterproductive whether it was their fault or not. That's why the Civil Rights Movement of the 60s, despite having immediate benefits, sowed the seeds for some negativity that still persists to a small extent today.
3. Life=evolution=victory of the strong. If you want to win in life, then you better adapt to the circumstances. If you want your neighbors, friends, 'brothers', etc to do win too, the same goes for them.

3a. The government does not care about you. They don't care about me either. It exists to take violent forms of competition and make them more economic and political. The government is not some benevolent organization; it serves the people that run it. In America, we the people have a lot of say in our government, but we don't quite run it (No, it's not run by white people either. The only names that matter are "dollar", "euro", "yen", "peso", etc). Don't EVER get caught in the trap of thinking that life is not about competition and that you are not alone in this life. You are alone. You have your local friends and family, but that's it. It's up to you to learn how the world works and succeed.
3b. Being separatist or having 'group economics' plans is not adapting. You might have a little personal success, but that would be no different than networking, except you'd be racially excluding a lot of people in your 'network'. You won't be making any racially significant progress in this 'group economics' attempt. Even if you were to do so, many businesses would not like you for it. It's best to just assimilate like the rest of us.
3c. Many races (groups) have slaughtered, brutalized, raped, and enslaved many other races over humanity's history. The Atlantic slave trade was FAR, FAR, FAR from the first, and if history is any indication, it will not be the last.​

Bonus
1. Calling people names over the internet is child's play. It makes you look like a child, not a badass.
