Black Money Business Jobs : Black Economics: A key to the door

[Ronnie J]

I almost sure it's more than a drop in the bucket. Based on my researching and study of economics:

Sorry Brother Clyde but fortunately I wasn't raised to see myself being "stuck nor trapped" in a system of injustice and racism. Am I aware of it's existence? Yes. DO I think it has any bearing on my personal and professional success? It could but I'm no more concerned about that than I am about the weather in the North Pole.

Do I think many blacks go in search of and seek out situations in which they can liberally scream racism? Yes.

As it relates to your "drop in the bucket" remarks, I must quote WEB Dubois:

"The Negro race, like all races, is going to be saved by its exceptional men. The problem of education, then, among Negroes must first of all deal with the Talented Tenth; it is the problem of developing the Best of this race that they may guide the Mass away from the contamination and death of the Worst.”

In closing, let's agree to disagree. :0)

Welcome to Destee.com Ronnie J, and congratulations on becoming a Premium Member so quickly.

But those African Americans more capable, yet comfortable, when compared to the vast majority of Blacks, are only a drop in the bucket, out of about 40 million. Which explains why the majority of us, trapped in systemic and structural racism, are chiefly concerned with correcting social injustices, in order to be able to achieve economic justice.

Its not that easy to agree to disagree Ronnie J, with an argument you've made that is more personal than reflective of the larger population and huge scale of disenfranchisement suffered by most Blacks in America. However, if you desire to stop the conversation we are having, there is no requirement for you to reply back.

But aren't these your words Ronnie J?

"Based on my observations, it seems like the blacks that are more than capable, have become very comfortable. Meaning, many blacks have attained well paying jobs and advanced degrees. They're living "high on the hog" now. Why rock the boat?"

Above, you seem to be repudiating the so-called Talented Tenth for not guiding the Masses away from the contamination and death of the Worst. To say the least, your logic and argument is hard to follow.


Here's a more accurate and better viewpoint concerning the drop in the bucket comment I made:


So Middle Class could safely be considered above $35K and below $100K annual income levels, which is 43% of American Households. The Black alone households total 14.7 million. Of that, approximately 38.4% are in the middle class, with earnings between $35K – $100K annually.
