My problem with Rick Ross "Buy Bacc The Blocc"

[BrothaZay]

Is that its only talking to a very very small % of the community.

Realistically how many black people have the capitol to even start a business online, let alone buy back their neighborhood from cacs and asians?

I like the spirit of it, but it seems like in the blacc community, too many of our solutions are always aimed at the "bosses" and never the actually regular black person.

You telling nikkas on the block to buy it back, yet not telling them the real steps in takes to get there. All theyre gonna do is take a shortcut, and probably do some illegal shyt to do so, risking their life and or freedom.

I think we need to stress education a lot more than we push that "boss up be ya own man" narrative, atleast for now.

I think we should stress trades

I'm pro-entrepreneurship, but more black men need to study and learn trades and that somewhat helps when it comes to starting businesses...I know many non black men who started out doing construction or working on cars or plumbing, and eventually built up their clientele, linked up with other ppl of their race and opened their own businesses together. Some are guys I went to school with.

Nope.
Education.

Trades are just another job at the end of the day.

Buy back the block also means investing/shopping at black owned merchants

You missing the point...instead of shopping at the Arab/Asian owned stores take that extra trip to a black owned establishment. Or buy online from a black owned business. As much time you on this site you have ZERO excuse

You want it to be one way but it's the other...we have choices

Its a Rick Ross and Gucci song

I like em both but you should know better.

Brehs there are no black owned businesses where I stay at that provide groceries, clothing etc.

So no, you're point is kinda dumb.

Shopping at Walmart isn't holding the black community back.

Lack of education is.

Ross songs aren't all just flossin, not even close

I have a consulting firm

Trades lend itself to entrepreneurship easier than a degree does, unless you already have the money to do it.

Certain trades pay a lot more, you can stack quicker to start your own business, youll already have a roster of clients if you've done good work previously, and the skills are always needed because a lot of young guys don't know trades anymore these days. They want the type of jobs females are doing. So the guys who do have the skills eat well if they're a hard worker.

Most of the guys I know who started their own business know a trade (whether construction, plumbing, auto body etc). There are some who did it with the degree but those were generally the ones who pops had money already to help start it.

You need to be educated to really start a real business breh.

Trades like anything can be, and will become oversaturated sooner or later.

Naw I'm not sayin that at all I know he speaks real shyt I'm just sayin they're not gonna get in depth like that. There's a limit to how much main stream artist will speak on topics because they gotta capture the attention of large population so they keep it basic. Just my opinion though
