We need to stop putting our money in other race’s hands. shyt is wack that black people are so ignorant to this.

Every other race keeps their money in their community or race of people. You never see an asian or white guy walk into the Jamaican spot, yet you see blacks taking their dollars everywhere.

If we only shopped, banked and kept our money within the community we’d be so much more powerful.

Voting. We aren't Asian Americans. We aren't Arabs. We aren't Mexicans. We aren't Jews.

There are entire swaths of people in this country who would weaponize politics against us if they had their way. We need representation in politics simply because we are who we are and our history of oppression in this country.

I am not belittling group economics but its hard to practice it when you're constantly under the threat of laws specifically created to harm you.
Look at this nonsense.

This is not even plausible……

You need both! One feeds the other and would strengthen Black people as a collective.

The kinda common sense question where if you get it wrong you should be henceforth barred from all serious discussion on politics.

And I see a nikka got it wrong right out the gate lol

Voting locally for whom? Politicians who take care of the people who fund there campaigns?
What's stopping black people from signing up for local elections? it doesn't have to be for governor or mayor.
You start small and build up from there. You see cacs doing this all the time in small towns.

Maybe run for local school board and go up from there. If you live in a mostly black neighborhood , you shouldn't
have a problem winning.

You dont really need funding to run for the school board. Just need to knock on some doors.

Politicians including school board members govern based on whos funding them....If CACs are funding them then it is CACs who will take priority of their needs...Look no further than Baltimore...a majority Black city with Black politicians yet the Black citizens are still suffering due in part to Black politicians who are currupt in that city...Black skin in and of itself dont mean shyt in politics
