Intergration and the creation of large companies has been the killer for black owned business. Yes many of us have done better for our families now than what our parents and grandparents could accomplish, but now we depend on corporations for survival just like white america. |

Uh, who do you think Black people were depending on BEFORE integration? You're trying to preach that Black people depend on White to survive and it wasn't like that in 1950? You're insane. Large companies have been in America for centuries. In fact, before unions and anti-monopoly laws huge companies CRUSHED workers. Rich fat cats in mansions while Irish men and Blacks toyed with dynamite and prayed they got out of the area before rocks came crashing on top of their heads was the norm. After slavery many Blacks had to turn around and work for their White masters. Resentful White ex-masters fucked negroes up. Even the thought process that Blacks did more business-wise during the Jim Crow and Black Code days vice today is somewhat jaded. Back then we only fought against our own. We were measured by how well we did against other Blacks. Now Blacks are measured to ALL Americans, including White. And Whites are still the majority. You mention that we now depend on corporations for survival "just like White America" like it was something new that happened after intergration. Black businesses of the 1940's also relied on the majority population, White, for it's survival. Black people could by from them (mainly because they weren't allowed in White stores) but the goods usually had to come from the top. And the top were White people. If they didn't wnat you to sell something you didn't sell it. And if you tried to sell it without their permission they'd kill you, your entire family, and burn down the entire Black part of town. That's real. So it was like a pretty box that looked swell but with a REAL glass ceiling. So glass in fact it might as well had been titanium. There was no breaking through it unless you moved to Canada or Europe. While that ceiling is still there it's a little higher now plus some of us can break through. And those that do generally don't find their families massacred like in 1955. Before we had no freedom but we made do with what we had. Now we have all the freedom and some make the best of it by creating empires. And others sit on their asses. I guess that's the ups and downs of having freedom. Me stepping over some Black bum on my way to work. Yeah, I'm shackled to "the Man" I suppose but I'd much rather work and get paid what I get paid than yell about having my respect by not working for the Man yet barely scrapping by on pennies and the charity of strangers. But to each their own. |

I disagree with that we have intergration but Chinese people have China Town, and they own everything in that part of town. We have intergration but the Asian community is still strong today. We have intergration but the Hispanic community is still strong today. Intergration did not stop those groups from owning everything in their communities. |

Exactly. All those black businesses depended on white capital for things like start up expenses, supply channels, etc. Black businesses during the Black Wall St era weren't built in a vaccuum |

Where did their start up money come from? The one thing people like you forget is that other ethnicities who have their own communities tend to patronize their own. They also have contacts to their home country for a supply chain and they still maintain their customs. Chinese, even latins tend to eat their own food and wear many clothing items that are from their homelands. So there is a market for a Chinese market, or a latin restaurant. When's the last time you've eaten African food or the average black American has ? |

These fools aint listening to you. I had to tell some of my fam that. These places have a steady stream of trade from their home country. Latinos have Latino chains with Latino products because Mexico and South America are right below us. Hell, you can practically jump back and forth on the Mexican border in Texas. One city is literally on the damn line. It's easy getting thing shipped from down there to here. And we're getting new Mexicans every day. Mexicans who feel more comfortable eating the food that they have been eating in Mexico. It's the same with Chinese. Chinese immigrants seem to slowly roll into America keeping it a steady, yet low, stream but Chinese immigrants who can't really speak English yet feel more comfortable in places that remind them of home. Hence, China Town. Black Americans don't have that. We've been so cut off from Africa that America IS our homeland. We were practically raised here after they tried to beat the African out of us. Now in areas were you see more African immigrants you will see more African shops and places to eat. But Africans are coming over far, far less than especially Latinos and even Chinese. These variables are highly important. People like Marcus and his Clones who either accidently or purposely ignore these added variables will continue to fail at life. Another interesting thing is while some Latinos and Chinese tend to stay in their areas as they have children who age their children may start to go elsewhere. They become more Americanized. Their accent will be different. It will sound more American. It usually starts around the 2nd generation. If the family only associates with other families like them then it may take longer. I have seen 2nd and 3rd generation Mexicans who still speak Spanish and barely know English. But I have also seen 2nd generation Mexicans who sound like Amerimexicans and go to shit like the Gap and Old Navy. |

The days of the black wall street are long gone. It would do well to focus on what can be done today. |
