Warren Ballentine is creating a foundation designed to improve the overall condition of the black community. It is a foundation designed for us to work as a group to help each other because he is only asking that people donate only $60.00 a year to bring change to impoverish community by building at the grassroots level. I know many (might be a bunch of clones) on this board have been romanticizing about black wall street and why blacks can work together today to accomplish such a feat. Now you people will get a chance to put your feet where your mouth is with this foundation.

The foundation will create jobs because the money will be invested in a black owned bank which could mean millions dollars, thus require that bank to hire more employee to manage that money. The foundation will have to have some employees to manage the rebuilding projects.The foundation will rebuild/save homes and bring business to the black neighborhoods, thus creating jobs by hiring black contractors to rebuild homes as well as hiring black employees for the business. When we give people hope our neighborhood will become safer because people take care the things they love.

How many are willing to do for self?

It's a scam and I'm not donating a cent to it.

When I was 7 years old I watched infomercials on TV asking for a monthly donation to feed starving kids in Africa, and here it is 2 generations later, with TV hanging on the wall, and I'm still watching those same damn infomercials asking for a monthly donation to feed those same kids in those same countries.

I'm sick of the bullshit.

So you're going to donate 60 bucks a month?

And to every other black self help org asking for a donation too?

If so,

Then you must have boat loads of money to throw away. :D

He is only asking for 60.00 a year which is $5.00 a month. That is not much for changing and transforming lives.

You are hopeless in that you can only see past you and yours; however, wouldn't you like to prepare a future for your future generation of family member by helping start a black own food processing plant, Super Markets, etc.
