I guess the question now is how do we get that black wallstreet mentality back in the black community....at least among black men. I was watching Black In America Silicon Valley and the black entrapreneurs were asking, where is our Mark Zuckerburg?...here is the problem.

1) He exist but the black community is busy not supporting him.

2) He on the other hand is to busy trying to market himself as a black Mark Z....than marketing his brand. People tend to forget that Facebook was waaaaay popular BEFORE Mark Z took it public and people saw his face for the first time. This is the model blacks should follow. Forget this I'm a black this or that...just focus on building your brand and whe it becomes popular and strong, your race won't matter.
White racism and segregation forced black people to work together and that is one of the reasons why blacks teamed up together and built Black Wall Street. I hate to say this but it seems like black people work better under pressure. Today blacks don't work together like we should because many blacks think that the struggle is over. Blacks need to learn from a Jews, they are a very small group of people but they work together as a team and by doing that they're able to own a lot of companies.

The struggle is over. The only thing standing in the way of black's success in 2011 is their mentality. I was born in '65 and have 3 brothers and three sisters, All 7 of us have college degrees and great careers and families. When we brought home a "C" in any subject there was hell to pay because our parents knew the importance of an education that they generally could not get in their childhood. Just a generation before us , there were no college graduates in our family. Black Wall Street is no longer needed. Every black person can lead their own successful lives without the need for a black wall street

I agree with Kenny that individual "success" is possible and accomplished in america. The strong have a tendacy to succeed dispite the obstacles. But the "racist" design is also successful in the suppression of the majority, who are not neccessarily strong. I noted that Kenny placed an emphesis on "family", something that many lack in some form and some lack altogether. Society wants some to succeed, while suppressing the dreams of most. Today we are even seeing the suppression of the dreams of whites who have been successful in education and work hard. We see them protesting all across america.

Exploiting then; If they are not oppressing, they are for damn sure exploiting. Look up corporate social responsibility and you tell me if that exists in these corporations throughout America. If it does, give me examples (not just 1) of it. I'll be waiting.

This is what I DO NOT UNDERSTAND. I dont see how this is not common sense, why is everything blamed one everyone and everything else. Its the individual, you do for yourself and you exceed any limits. Black people are letting outside sources and excuses limit themselves.

People here complaining about white men do this and how blacks need to be under pressure to get anywhere. You speak of this trap black men are in but its not a trap its nothing more than a big ass hole we just walk in. Dont even try to avoid it, we arent led to it, we arent tricked into it. Blacks just do it just cause they dont want to go around it.

You'll be waiting in vain. That psych-nut only presents discombobulated and senseless bullshit. That's all she's good for.

To simply say the struggle is over, is far fetched. We may not be fighting overt forms of racism, but surely we are fighting institutionalized racism, our kids are being forced into special education throughout America, mass incarceration of black men, the effeminazation of black men and boys, black women and men forming the mentality of "white is right," unemployment being higher in our community than any other group and the national average. You are just one example, and congratulation on that, but now, we need to establish an inter-generational connection to have more civilized and accomplished black families.

But how many of these black men are in jail and wrongfully accused? How many of these black men arent guilty of the crime? Regardless if we are getting more time (Like some would say, I wouldnt know I dont do dumb shit) Why are you doing the crime anyway?

I have to agree with you that our kids are put in special education, I was put there in school. But a black can still overcome that, if they have the will and determination to not be limited. Just didnt want to deal with me.
Unemployment is higher in blacks but what were blacks doing to be prepared for something like this? What jobs were they working and with what education to show?

In regards to how many black men are wrongfully in prison, that's like asking how many crocked cops there are. My point is I can't give you an exact number but it has been proven that it exists. Do you honestly think that black and Latino people do more crime than whites do? There is a disproportionate amount of white people to blacks and Latinos in prison for a lot of reasons. Consider the contextual factors; the main one being white skin privilege. Flat out, whites get away with a lot of shit. Am I saying there are no black and Latino people that do not commit crimes, hell no! I am not naive, either!

Special education, you are one example of a person who "overcame" special education. The question remains though, why do we have to constantly over come shit? Seriously. Why are all these obstacles put in front of us to do something as basic as get an education?

Unemployment, why are a large percentage of white people "occupying" across America? The unemployment rate has finally trickled over to their community and they have no idea what to do about it. Blacks have always felt this way, this is nothing new to us. How do you prepare for unemployment when you are doing your best work, but the company still downsizes and you are one of many on the chopping block? Nothing is made in America anymore! Outsourcing, cheap labor, and flat out white skin privilege wins out over what we can try to attain. There are people with bachelors, masters, and doctorate degrees out here who are unemployed because what ever reason. There are many things to consider before just questioning someones ability or desire.
