Makes video about intelligent black people.... says Kentucky is in the heart of the Midwest. Ok.

Thank you. That was my very first thought.

AA need to understand that success starts very early in age... you can't feed these kids a steady diet of gangster rap, and single parent homes, and illeteracy. . And wonder why in the teenage and young adulthood years life is hard and is not a like the hip hop songs they are accustomed to living through.


Watch The Coli dodge this thread like the plague

At the irony

A lot of kids don't see it (black enterprises), so they don't believe they can achieve it. Many don't know it's a problem. That's why they continue to shop at places that treat them like thieves.

That's part of why black folks are so inclusive. We live in a multiracial community. People have to be taught our culture as opposed to just "American Culture", we have to know where we came from to see where we are heading. But instead too many are lost and raised by wolves of wall street to be independent instead of working together and to become mindless consumers instead of creators.

I would say the reason black folk are so inclusive is because we were always more amicable than other folks generally.
That doesn't always translate well to business.

Where I completely disagree with you is:
Black folk are arguably the greatest creators in the world, pound for pound!
I really feel that way. And I KNOW that enough of us know about our past to feel the same.
What we don't know how to do is take our creations and "enterprise" with them.
We are not taught that.

I agree. I didn't feel the need to specify creators of what because the thread is about enterprises. We all know how much we affect the culture and are trendsetters, but that doesn't help us much when we don't monetize or protect our ownership of what we create.

I feel like that friendliness comes from not being aware of how people take advantage of us, and not knowing how to protect ourselves. Of course, we'll be friendly to people we think are harmless until we find out that they really poisoning or draining the community.

We are probably inclusive because we don't want to be racist. We know what that's like but we seem to swing the pendulum too far. Either we accept and want to be accepted by everyone or we have ultra militant groups that don't trust anyone else. We need balance which requires education, knowledge of history so we do not repeat our mistakes.
