I know exactly what the sickness is, centuries of white supremacy. And I know what the medicine is too, a sense of self and community. I'm tired of the excuses about why we can't have the latter.

Well don't mistake my post as saying why we can't have the latter. We've had it before and got caught up in the 60's with the we are the world bullshyt. I think we'll get our solidarity back and stomp a muddle in all these roaches in our community.

Well, old world societies are collective. Its all about lineages. Notice how Nigerians, Indians, Chinese have no problem shacking together 12 to a house? Brehs stateside want to leave moma's house at 18, while Ling Ling is 29 at home.

That 10,000 is effectively 9 working adults chipping in $1,111 . Some people like Koreans are better at it than others. I think some Caribbeans do Susu (same thing but tradition from the continent).

I dont deny illegal activity, but the Bloods and Russian Mob arnt exactly fronting money for community co-ops, so I dont think thats at play here

Breh and it ain't just black americans. Its a american mentality. I see that with some of my white coworkers. They will tell their kids to stay home and pay off their loans after graduation. Yet these kids want to buy a BMW or Tesla eith cash and live with some roomates...:mjlol:


These folks from 3rd world countries or countries where your are expected to only live home until you get married...think totally different.

But its all relative. I can take an american from a upper middle class give them 30 bucks and say go to the store and figure out how to feed 8 people for 3 days. That person would probably panic and say it couldn't be done.

I can give a poor person from rural america 30 dollars and they could feed 8 people for a week. They would take that 30 bucks and have them folks eating all types of meals for 5 to 7 days.

The overall point is there is easily enough black people to pool together $100k

The only issue is culture.

And my point is; that's racist.

did yall parents teach you how to NOT work or save money?

if you work for a whole year straight on minimum wage plus your taxes your clearing like 15k a year,

if you were working part time in high school or something on minimum wage your making like 7k a year

how you nikkas so broke

Slavery. Discrimination. Being trapped in fukking ghettos. Being labeled as a contaminated to wealth to the point housing goes down or up based on our presence or absence.

Ya'll come up with these numbers in a vacuum.

Hit me back with expenses and actual calculation.

Stop with bullshyt, racist nonsense that we spend our money on weed, Jordans and weaves.

Live deep in a tiny ass house or apartment. Keep expenses down to the necessities. Every adult works and contributes to bills unless they're enrolled in some guaranteed money making shyt like med school or engineering.
Take out loans if needed.

Do you do this?

Do you know anyone who does this?

Again, more of this; if you by nothing my bread and water, you should be a millionaire talk than no one on thecoli ever has to actually prove.

A lot of these "ideas" don't pass the smell test.

We talking living like worms, when the people who apparently "just save up and don't spend" always leave out big ass pieces to their stories and got us looking at each other like; :dahell:

:yeshrug:Ya'll win, black people have horrible culture and should just get over racism, the legacy of slavery, and stop making excuses.

We tend to value short term gratification over long term consequences.

Who are these leaders? Where is this unity?
You’re thinking too macro.

A common flaw.

What good do words do when understanding is absent?

you thinking about Garvey, Malcolm, and the like.

I’m saying if you can’t get your block right, or your circle of friends, family, ain’t no point trying to think how you’re gonna help an entire ethnic group...

that’s why you can keep the claim that “we” aren’t organised and have no leaders.

maybe you don’t...

Ok but I was specifically talking about the group. Where is the group leadership? Where is the group unity?

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.

Brothas and sistas do it. The black investment group I was in did it we put aside like 500 a month each and built it up to like 30k.

The key is folks have to be vetted and able to put money in and aren't shady.

For example a mexican kat, I know was in a group with other mexicans. Here is where the problem was. One mexican dude put his cousin on. Who he knew was shady and couldn't be trusted. Dude cousin kept fronting and never would put in the needed amount. The group ended up kicking his ass out.

So some folks are always leary of this stuff cause you got shady folks who try to take advantage. Add on how we as american (aka capitalists) think....always looking for an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
