If you think you're lonely now, ohhh girl...
"We will suppose a case for argument: In this city reside, two colored families, of three sons and three daughters each. At the head of each family, there is an old father and mother. The opportunities of these families, may or may not be the same for educational advantages—be that as it may, the children of the one go to school, and become qualified for the duties of life. One daughter becomes school-teacher, another a mantua-maker, and a third a fancy shop-keeper; while one son becomes a farmer, another a merchant, and a third a mechanic. All enter into business with fine prospects, marry respectably, and settle down in domestic comfort—while the six sons and daughters of the other family, grow up without educational and business qualifications, and the highest aim they have, is to apply to the sons and daughters of the first named family, to hire for domestics! Would there be an equality here between the children of these two families? Certainly not. This, then, is precisely the position of the colored people generally in the United States, compared with the whites. What is necessary to be done, in order to attain an equality, is to change the condition, and the person is at once changed. If, as before stated, a knowledge of all the various business enterprises, trades, professions, and sciences, is necessary for the elevation of the white, a knowledge of them also is necessary for the elevation of the colored man; and he cannot be elevated without them."

Those who grew up around ownership can slack off. Numbers show they getting right by 25.

Those who grew up around renting can't afford to slack off. Numbers show life slapping you in the face.

Can't save everybody they have to save THEMSELVES :francis:

We don't need no more trades, we need more black agricultural degrees, medical, educational, legal, history and fine art degree.

We done did all the hardworking jobs for years...leave that for the immigrants who don't geaux to college and brehs who exit out the prison system and don't wanna geaux to college.
Hol' up, we don't need to be giving them our dollars either after this administration's full carry.
We gone always need skilled trades, not everybody wanna go to college, and that's okay.
We did all the hardworking jobs, and we need them to be self-sufficient.
Payin' them folks to come through your block and be in the house and backyard?
Thassa trade. I wanna see more licensed black contractors, plumbers, HVAC, electricians and gardeners.
We need to keep our money in our pocket.

This all this. College was when I became a mouth frothing anti-christian. The courses I took made christianity look horrible when you get deep into the history of your people and you see the common denominator...Jesus.

I remember when I got into an argument with my step mama cause she thought an AA degree was the same a Bachelors. I never laughed at her so hard. She couldn't even tell you how write a thesis nor did she know how to research and that's why she never got anywhere...cause she don't have a bachelors...be a community liason for the pigs brehettes as a career.
True I think the catholic church took to a perversion to using Jesus's teachings as a way to exert control over the populace and commit all manner of injustices. It's wild to me how the teachings of Christ are compassion and kindness yet crusades and power acquisitions among kings had the church highly involved back in the pre Renaissance eras. That ain't the real Christian way smh.

But I digress. Back to the main topic...we got families with generations of ignorance being passed down due to nobody finishing high school or going to college. They are not armed for what this information era world we live in is throwing at them. Just look on social media the amount of people buying it to bs pseudoscience and misinformation because they don't have the necessary knowledge foundation and critical thinking skills to debunk that stuff. I see how it's so easy to be a scammer in this era because people are gullible

So you’re saying we need black elites? :sas1:
Anybody saying differently is a dumbass :yeshrug:who you think buys my art en masse? It's not the average Black Joe's and Jessie's....yet.

But Jay Z does alot for the BlacknArt community and with emerging artists...no lie. Him and Swizz Beats have done alot for my career field.

It's the black elitists that don't create jobs that are the problem. I'd rather deal with a black man bullshyt than a white man bullshyt anyway.

We need these black billionaires to create jobs and invest in our community full tilt.
