Isaiah said:James, you're entitled to that, but I think we are as much our own problem as white folks... And I believe this because I know that we have the power to lift ourselves up without the assistance of anyone but ourselves, and wont...
We have African Americans who make millions and billions of dollars, and wont pool their resources together with other African Americans who make billions, and build ONE - count that - ONE institution to the overall amelioration of the conditions of Africans in America...
We spend, James, 700-BILLION dollars a year, and complain that we are broke... Yes, we are broke because we SPEND the money, instead of saving it... Yeah, I know, white man does it to us e'rytime, the devil makes us do dat, right James??? And we spend this money on the absurdest things, James... Wouldn't be so bad if we spent the money on school houses for our children, on real estate development, James... But our people spend the money on Hair Weaves, Hennesey, Lee's Press On's, Wise Potato Chips, Barbecue Sauce, and Sport Utility Vehicles, none of which provides us a return on our money, our resources...
But, James, you're entitled to that opinion... Movin' on...
Peace!
Isaiah

True. But we also have a government that takes our tax dollars and won't level the playing field either. Our money supports everything they Concoct and is burned to keep the lights on in downtown Washington. Loaned to all except us. Used to finance all institutions that detest us. This is the enemy and I say blast them. CRITICISE THEM.. I never hear enough of this, flying across these pages and I have never seen anyone on here say they sent a letter to an elected official. They are way over due.
