This shows that a lot of blacks are doing great things that a lot of people don't know about.

there are MANY..

The problem is that not enough live around each other, open these businesses around each other to create little black meccas..

Unfortunately, they dilute their influence on black culture by diluting in white neighborhoods...



It's like Buying Black, but the Black person you are buying from, lives in a white area, goes to a white bank, contributes to a white school district, etc.. etc..

The problem is that we no longer have great media focused on courageous black people, like when John H. Johnson was alive and ran Ebony and Jet Magazines.

When people like Oprah and the current flock of black entertainers came in, it all became about displaying luxury and trying to placate and keep up with white friends and neighbors.

Everything now is about sex, nword calling, and how ratchet one can be. Our strength and industriousness are now hidden in order to highlight strip clubs, pimps, heaux, and white women.
