Seems like your talking about individual people so maybe you should ask those individual people why knowing what they know hasn't brought them any wealth
People who think of themselves as black are doing a pretty good job at what they are most focused upon. Most are not rich, economically, because being rich is not what they are most focused upon. They are focused upon working for white folks, which is what they [including President Obama] are doing a pretty good job at. They may say they want to be rich, but their actions reveal they are more focused upon making white folks rich.
as long as i have enough money to keep a roof over my head and some grub in my belly im good.... i am rich with family, friends and knowledge of self....which is way more important than money imho.... one love khasm
i am not talking about material wealth. i am using an old expression. "if you so smart why ain't you rich" it's a metaphor. i am asking, with the array of brilliant know it alls that we have gathered here today why are black people doing so poorly?
