Sometimes I feel I should create more black threads. I actually have ideas that by-pass a lot of the black non-sense.

What do you mean there was "black commerce in only one of those locations"? There was black commerce in pockets in various regions of the country, so I'm not sure what you're saying here. And yes, you're going to need to define your definition of commerce if you want to refute what I'm saying. Because by commerce in this discussion, I'm alluding to businesses serving customers and interacting with other businesses in a geographical area i.e. black business districts serving the needs/wants of black customers in particular neighborhoods.
You're also going to need to qualify why Rosewood and Wilmington do not apply since both had thriving black communities that were self-sufficient and each with a noticeable black middle class. Both cities experienced race riots in the backdrop of blacks maintaining self-sufficient communities that rivaled their white neighbors. This is all too easy to look up, so what's your agenda here?
And let's touch on your "anomaly" point. "White commerce" is spurned by a very a small portion of the white population. Most whites are poor and middle income workers. Most whites do not create industry, yet they all benefit from it and partake in it. If I were to make a point about "white commerce", would you use the same "anomaly" point? Something tells me no, but I'll let you confirm.

fukking unbelievable!!
So Chinatown can exist in every city in the west and other "minorities" can have their sections, but when black people attempt to do it, it's "playing the race card" and "reverse discrimination". How the fukk is it "victimhood" when black folks make moves to improve their situation, isn't that statement a contradiction in itself?
I can't believe some black folks even let other people run that kind of game on them.
Chinatown also never materialized in Detroit either from that same time period.

There is thriving, and then there is self sustaining.... There is commerce and then there is trade...... Commerce is doing business on a large scale which means owning infrastructure.....which we never owned... even the main general store and one of the mills in Rosewood was white owned...... Rosewood was mostly poor.... just like Wilmington....
You nikkas are disingenuous as fukk..... The overwhelming majority of the black populace was catching hell socially and financially back then....... but nikkas romanticize about a few spots here and there and make that the theme for that time... which is absolute bullshyt....
Name one area that has black commerce that is self sustaining today
I believe we were better off in terms of trajectory going up back then
Name a current version of black wall street in america today
Ill wait

Again.... that's not the argument... Yall are taking 1% of the black population and trying to make it indicative of the whole..... and obviously, there wasn't a trajectory for black wall street back then either.... hence its demise...
Are yall sure yall understand white supremacy....?

I never typed or intimated that ALL of the black population was thriving or that everything was perfect because blacks had various centers of trade and/or commerce. I said that WE HAD THEM. And we had them during segregation because:
1. We had to
2. We had pockets of in-tact communities to foster them, which we don't have now because black resources are even more dissipated and diluted
But enough of your conflating and misdirection. What are we to do now to have "commerce"?

There is no conflating or misdirection on my end.... Yall nikkas just over romanticize yesteryear....... and you ask what are we to do now to have commerce?
nikkas can't even get along...... that's the first thing that needs to be addressed........ along with the emotional and psych issues that have resulted from Slavery, Jim Crow, and domestic terrorism in general...... that's first and foremost...

shyt was written on the wall since our ancestors were brought here and we didn't get our own state in North America.
I believe it is repatriation time. Or move to a Black nation in the Americas.
