This is an overgeneralization and rather misguided viewpoint. Black people aren’t awaiting “white daddy’s” approval to build. Case-in-point, white people have been telling Blacks to “pull yourselves up by the bootstraps” for decades. They have been telling Black people to build their own infrastructure. Whilst these messages are often coded in racist undertones, the messaging has always been the same where it concerns white people, “stop trying to move into our neighborhoods; stop trying to take our jobs, and make your own opportunities”.
Blacks are looking for any way to survive in a system that has/is oppressed/oppressing us. Where it concerns actual building, there are plenty of Blacks building companies today, from tech to finance, so the businesses are there, the businesses just aren’t as large as white businesses. And very few people do build up a company or are successful entrepreneurs, and there are plenty of Blacks that weren’t successful entrepreneurs so they decided to work for a company. On top of that there are also talented Blacks that just don’t have the necessary connections to build whatever creative idea they have.
Saying, “Black men are looking for white daddy’s approval” is false and lacks insight into the real issue.

Most higher-order species center their own personal self-worth on the validation of others or the recognition of others. If no one recognizes you’re dominant, you probably aren’t dominant no matter what you think of yourself. Saying you are great without the proof or work put in, and the acknowledgement of others to that greatness, is just another form of self-delusion. Black men being the strongest men on Earth is a bunch of nonsense talk bordering on lunacy (there is no empirical evidence suggesting that, or studies suggesting that). Aside from that, even if we were the strongest men on Earth, it depends on what you mean by strength. Mental? Physical? If it is the latter, then again, it is a misguided view of how the world or life works. Intelligence, and to some degree, group-think, decides a groups fate in the world, not necessarily physical strength. Physical strength is good but there are many other factors at play where it concerns if a group is dominant or not.
Black people in America have been downtrodden for so long that we do have some inherent self-hate issues. From our earliest beginnings, we are told (or it is implied through experience) we aren’t worth a damn. That can cause deep psychological fissures where only a few can break through the psychological barrier. A lot of the times we subconsciously believe in our own inferiority. One of the reasons why Blacks, in my opinion, need to talk to a counselors or therapists. Or simply talk with one another such as on here. But once you get into talk of, “we are the greatest to have ever lived” and other non-sense like that, you move away from actual self-growth and into delusional, fantastical thinking which is just as bad. A more realistic approach is the best approach.

This is based on what? People in other communities do not have to demonstrate that they can build to get respect. Most people in other communities are promoted to higher positions through nepotism and connections. And a lot of CEOs making millions upon millions didn’t build a thing in their entire lives, but show competence in running a company which is why they get respect from other people. Knowing what you are doing garners respect, not necessarily building.
And, what have you built?

Again, what have you built?
I don’t know what these Black people are thinking when they are building their companies. It could be that they want to break away from the chains of others, or to help other people. Saying they are doing it for the approval of whites is a viewpoint backed by little evidence. They probably want the power to decide their own fate.
To #5:
Men do not complain about their women in the first place. Men just act, and the women follow. So, this point being made as an excuse as to why Black men aren’t building is extremely feminine and weak. I’d never complain about a woman simply because I will just act, and my creations will speak for me. Black men that complain about their women are weak.
But there is a common thread to many of these types of guys. They talk a big game but never actually produce anything of substantive value outside of some lackluster DVDs or pseudo-intellectual books. The Black men that do build like Troy Carter for instance, are the ones these young kids should be listening to.
Let’s stop listening to these pseudo-intellectuals telling us what they think is the problem and listen to people that have built something like Troy Carter, like Bob Johnson, like Robert Smith.

not sure i quite understand the "what have you built" argument though. 
They cool as fukk. Whenever i go to the store or see them around, they always speak" Overly impressed by shyt like this. First of all, they're friendly when you go in their stores because you're BUYING shyt from them and it's good for business. Paying attention to actions instead of just words is something we should do more often. Because, how many Asians, Arabs, Latinos, etc do you see opening businesses with black men? How many of them do you see letting a black man manage their store? How many black men do you see even working in their stores?.....Yeah.
Hilarious.
I'm starving for some help.
......And damn if it's not true.
