Why Black People Are At The Bottom?

[J-Fire]

There is a such a thing called white guilt... I guess it affects some things, but black guilt is much worse.

We are brainwashed to want to be a part of the anglo saxon americanism ideology. We feel validated by being able to mingle with the majority.
Other groups (chinese, indians, Jews, koreans, even some mexicans) can form their own economic blocks and communities and consider that the right thing to do.

IF we do it... Half our community right away won't support it because we are brainwashed. The other half are made to feel guilty and made to feel like "black racist" because they're focusing on the black economy. nikkas also, as you stated, are conditioned to be comfortable with these other people in our communities. IT's not a conscious thing.. It's just what we're used to. If your under the age of 95, you don't know anything else in your lifetime.

Segregation doesn't mean isolation, and black people are the only group who are retarded enough to believe that BS. Our spending power is = to a nation within itself.. and we are the only ones that don't keep our money for more than 45 seconds.

why does the blackman have to profit off of black people? why can't he profit off of white people. we up here assuming black ownership means hiring all black people or something along those lines.

if my black ass is opening up a Chinese resturant best believe it gonna stay true to staus quo. people want to see Asians working at the Chinese spot cause it seems authentic. I be out of business hiring a bunch of people not Asian.

That "foundation" was set 400 years ago with cheap labor. Times have changed local money isn't enough. Business plans that don't concentrate on the entire world will not last.

if it was about cheap labor than how do you explain brazil, spain and england not being the richest countries in the world? they use much more slave labor than the us?

in the us small business drives the economy and hires most people

Small Business Drives U.S. Economy

that is the RATE of increase, its not the actual number of business,

Black-owned businesses grow in number, not size | Chicago Breaking Business
– Approximately 7.1 percent of all U.S. businesses were black-owned in 2007, compared to 5.2 percent in 2002.

if somebody said its the only way they are wrong, but small business that make little money is the key to black prosperity and its the basis of american prosperity overall

If the premise of this thread is that more businesses are needed for prosperity, and it's easily provable that "more businesses" are happening every year, then where is the prosperity?

Hair stores, and restaurants don't build wealth. The types of businesses that will build wealth in a global economy, need someone with an education, and a good amount of cash running them.

I disagree. Corner stores fail and close everyday. Regardless of what kind of business you open money is limited in your local communty. If you are to open a business your business model should be worldwide not local. A poor neighborhood only has so much money to give, no matter how you run your business.

You're better off getting a telemarketing job than opening a corner store. At least you have flexibility to move around and follow the markets/opportunities for more money.

Not where I stay. The same corner stores and gas stops that were poppin 20 years ago, still poppin today

Cuz we started at the top now we're here.

12 people living off 100k a year is no different than 2 people living of 20k a year.

You don't have to open a business to send your kids to college.

And no opening businesses isn't way more important than a college degree. Money, wealth, prosperity is worldwide, the route to that is through education, not opening a hair store in the hood.

Dude, this is so untrue....

that's a very broad definition of "small businesses" I can't think of any local business that will employ any where near 500 employees. Corner stores and restaurants barely have 5 employees. They are not the same as the businesses that article is talking about.

America was so prosperous due to a trifecta of cheap labor, abundant resources, and plentiful consumers. No other country has experienced this perfect storm of prosperity.

The ownership changes, and no real wealth is built. Those people are merely surviving, just like their employees and their customers.

Dude, this is so untrue....

Why?

Slogan is pointless, if it isn't enacted. If black businesses flourish with black money, then that can have a domino effect and produce jobs. The more jobs available, the less brothers and sisters on the streets. But it still involves the thinking of our people. Stay on the streets and HUSTLE all day and make 5x as much as I would working on some job??? That's the mentality that has to be broken. The thing is, a lot of brothers and sisters are looking for a way out, but the opportunity hasn't presented itself.

ask the black church for funding if they don't give it to you.

Forget them. (that pelicular one tho).

Becuase small business is not the only thing needed for prosperity, that is a canard that you came up with

Hair stores and and restaurants are wealth, i think you must have a weird definition of wealth, where do you think those stats come from about the wealth gap, if you own a low profit hair store your wealth is probably 50-100k just from the store

and they are also a tax base for thecommunity and they create a culture of entrepreneurship and they can also be used to send your kids to college which leads to even more wealth

I think you have fundemantal misunderstanding of the American economy and the role of small business so you should stop commenting and study the issue first

Wealth, profit, cash have specific definitions and a low profit hair store has a lot of wealth in it even if they have little cash and profit

The article is talking about the 10 percent that you sneer at

Brazil has slave labor, in fact rhe majority of slaves went to brazil and the caribbean, it has abundant resources and it has a huge population, it has the trifecta that you are talking about

and making 50-100k with the responsibility of a business is a damn headache.
you can get a government job and cake that amount and you have no liability and can get good insurance coverage.

Your entire premise is backwards thinking. On one hand you compare black prosperity/wealth to white people. Then when it comes to solutions white people shouldn't be a part of the equation. That's just not making sense. White people build and maintain their wealth through education and investments not opening corner stores in the hood. At the head of all of those "small businesses" that drive the economy is a dude with a lot of money, education or both.

Exactly. And those are the first businesses to go under during an economic downturn. A degree and a career is a much more stable position to be in. Even if you open a small business on the side.
