ATLANTA – Black consumers need to free themselves from their “toxic, slave mentality” and start to unabashedly support black businesses and entrepreneurs, the leader of a black banking group said at a business summit last week. Michael A. Grant, president of the National Bankers Association, told a crowd of nearly 170 business professionals, elected officials and residents that black people should aggressively support black business and black causes – and do so unapologetically. “I don’t hate white folks; I just love our folks,” said Grant, whose organization steers the destiny of 40 black banks in the U.S. “No one else in the capitalistic society apologizes for taking care of our own except us. We have got to free ourselves from that toxic, slave mentality.” Speaking at African American Business Enterprise Day, Grant also challenged African-American entrepreneurs to take the lead at doubling the buying power of black Americans by 2020. “You’re a model for where we must go,” Grant during his fiery presentation. “Instead of being in control of $1 trillion in buying power… we need to say that we’re looking to $2 trillion.” http://www.theatlantavoice.com/business/drop-slave-mentality-banker-tells-black-consumers/article_788d52ce-58ed-11e1-86d5-0019bb30f31a.html |

I know many were asking if we can build a black wall street again and I say yes we can if we working together. As the article stated, we have 1 trillion in spending power; however, if we work together, we can increase that up to 5 trillion dollars. |

I'm sorry LBM, But facts are facts. Black folks are always popping bullshit about slave mentality yet they're never fail to thank god the white man stepped in. And there's no possible way that buying black is going to change that. You can't buy off bullshit.

Look LBM, There's not going to be any working together as a race. That's nothing but a fantasy. If anybody black wants to start a black owned Wall Street, then they can do so. They don't need help from other blacks. |

Here is the reason we are behind others, but people refuse to make a comment. |

There's no place in life most black folks would rather be than in the background. Just as long as they got a job, a house, a car, some jewelry, nice clothes, and money saved, you can't tell them about anything else because they don't want to know about anything else. The only thing they complain about and want to talk about is poverty and being black and in the back. |
