like it's been said. don't get mad get even. coli brehs wasting time being mad at asians instead of plotting on their own success. this isn't some hidden secret knowledge. it's just cultural.

stunt as a community or try to stunt on ya own community

She left a whole bunch of other shyt out...

#1, how did they get $100,000 faster than ppl who have been here since 1619?

10 people with 10k each. isn't some unobtainable shyt.

Whenever these threads pop up on the coli the first thing brehs want to do is shyt like the above instead of believing that these are reachable goals you start throwing hurdles in front of yourself

 

[humminbird]

10k is hard to get now?
They explain how they got it. They all work minimum wage jobs and live at home.
It may take longer for black people but it’s not impossible

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

This sounds very misleading. She's not telling how or where each person gets the 10k, that's important.

if you can't figure out where to get 10k you need to sit down in the game of life

Ok not $10k, maybe $5k...$1k per person and build up over a couple years. The goal is to pool money and businesses can be started with less than $100k.

This is still saying the same thing with no detail on how the money is obtained or where the money comes from to prop the business up until it is profitable. My point being if you don't have a significant source of stable income within your community how do you get the resources to do this?

An example I witnessed first hand at my job. A black technician is working two jobs the one at the pharmacy where we work and a second cleaning schools at night just to pay rent living by herself with no kids. Even with two jobs she was barely making it. She recently got another job at a bank which pays more and decided to get an apartment with her sister. With her sister paying half the rent and the increased pay she would get from the new job she planned to quit both current jobs since she wouldn't need two. A week before she is supposed to leave she finds out her sister got fired from her job at Wal-Mart over accusations of her stealing a water bottle. Now they only have her income to rely on in the middle of this pandemic with very little job prospects. Now she can't quit her job like she planned and will essentially have to keep working all day long for the immediate future.

the second part of the come up is putting your hands into your own business. not hiring out unnecessarily

Nice Cam quote one of my favorite tracks by him, and for accuracy I never said it was impossible.

if her sister got falsely dismissed she needed to fight it. she could have had unemployment income right now in the pandemic. it's not easy to dismiss someone for stealing without evidence.

Even if she had the resources and ability to fight it (Michigan has a stay at home order in place) unemployment is still only a percentage (I believe 30%) of what you made. Also add to that a backlog of applications for unemployment because of the pandemic getting on medicaid is going to be even more difficult.

Isnt walmart considered essential though so that walmart should still be open, no? Maybe it's different depending in the city

These two points are the key difference. There is no such thing as a single Asian. There is at least 20 adults behind every other adult. Its almost like investment diversification. If 9 of you shack up in a house, odds are low that 8 of you lose your jobs at the same time.

Overall, i feel you. And your point is valid. Its almost like a chicken or the egg arguement for which comes first. You need the community to build the cashflow (and wealth), but you also need cashflow(and wealth) to build the community.

With her sister paying half the rent and the increased pay she would get from the new job she planned to quit both current jobs since she wouldn't need two.

The story is sad. And all black folk have lived it. But this is the only good thing in her story. They took step 1 and made the link. But their chain is too short

I'm in one with 2 guys from work.
When we get paid, 2 guys give one guy about a grand. Next pay, the next guy gets. And so on and so on..

Regardless of the situation, saving has to be something we prioritize. I’m not good at it myself, but I try to save SOMETHING...$5.

Do they play the lottery? Drink or do Drugs? We all have vices that snatch our money. Our mentalities need to change. Instead of this is why I can’t, it should be nothing is going to stop me.

The woman you mentioned, her sister should still try for unemployment. In the mean time multiple other jobs are hiring. Walmart isn’t the end all.

Stop with this "it's all in your head" nonsense.

Do not insult my intelligence.

$10,000 cash ain't some small thing. $10,000 amongst a family of people ain't some small thing.

And this is what she was leaving out;

Ya'll still think we're where we're at because we don't work smart/hard enough.

Start here;

The wig business and the explosion of the wig business in South Korea in the 1960s is instrumental to understanding the Korean ownership of beauty supply stores. According to the book “On My Own: Korean Businesses and Race Relations in America”, the rise of the YH Trade wig manufacturing company was significant. Founder Yung Ho Chang, conceived the idea of the company while working as the vice-director of Korean Trade Promotion Corporation in the U.S. Between 1965 and 1978, his company exported $100 million worth of wigs.
