Didn't watch all of the video, but Black intellectuals like Thomas Sowell have been saying stuff similar to this about the pre welfare state of the 60s for decades now, but black people in general ignore that point because they have bought into the liberal victimhood ideology, so they can't conceive the idea that blacks were having economic gains, crime decreases, and strong family unit pre the 60s. If they did than they would have to seriously question white supremacy.
Simply just talking about stuff like this to other black people outside of the internet is just as useless as it is frustrating. Nobody wants to be the preachy proverbial kufi nikka who thinks their intellectually superior with all of the answers, but the history of exclusive group economics is easily accessible to people who care enough to look. It can work for us (again)
Our younger generation want to play and joke all day and our older blacks are just as apathetic and brainwashed so...
People won't really get the picture until grounded networks of blacks start building amongst themselves. We're about to let another generation go by and let everyone else be the only ones taking advantage of migration patterns and cheap property / land.

All concentrated and strategic efforts to deteriorate the black family , plus the "SUPRISE" cocaine influx of the early 80s basically put the nail on the coffin and set the stage for what were seeing now .
It's a simple concept that a majority of us seem not to comprehend , alot of people think because we make a certain amount annually that's enough for the community but doesn't look at the big spectrum of things like who they gave their revenue too and that despite your community majority black that the majority of bussiness that set up shop in your neighborhood are all other types of people of ethnic backgrounds I see this shyt occurring in my neighborhood right now and shyt is sickening the only ones I see are the cliche joints like barbershops and hair salons . People down south seem to get the memo way more than people up here though I can't front on that ...Like the last thread on the subject, if you want it you have to build it. It's really that simple

While true, we're also partially responsible. In 2015, we give 97% of our spending power to people outside of our community. We don't find pride or value in buying something that's "black owned."
Conservatives have a lot of pride when it comes to buying something "Made in the USA" and black people should have that same pride in buying something "Black Owned."

It sounds like there's an opportunity for you then. Start planning, researching, and see what you can open in your own neighborhood and only hire black people. That's what they did in Tulsa, Rosewood, Durham, Wilmington, and all the other black prosperous communities of that time period.

The video draws some grossly incorrect conclusion on why blacks were experiencing such economic strides pre 1960s, and why it ended. First it assumes black succeed solely because we were segregated -- this is not true. The main reason why blacks experienced such economic strides at that time was their culture which was one of discipline and hardwork which were also the traits they'd pass down to their kids, similar to what Asian Americans have today. And you could easily see that by checking the late 1940s the unemployment rate among young black men vs today.
Matter of fact, every census from 1890 through 1930 showed labor force participation rates for blacks to be as high as, or higher than, labor force participation rates among whites. Also, the the nuclear black family unit being much stronger pre 1960s is also more evidence to strengthen this fact. And it didn't end because integration failed, it ended because of the liberals great society program which altered black culture for the worse.

Yeah , I recall reading a while back that our spending power is at 1 trillion , so much potential that's vacant , imagine if we regularly investing our communities the results would be
& I agree 100% with the bolded the illusion of "the white mans ice is colder" is definitely lingers in alot of our minds , shyt look how people slandered Tidal to the ground but when Apple came out with their streaming service they were just void of flaws
I've been formulating some plans to encourage others to involve their selves in to the tech community / computer programming I used to repair computers and viruses independently but beside the 5 people who link me regularly I haven't been receiving that much support from my peers
, I feel like I barely see any of us pursue careers in that field and I know if we did we and invested a lot of energy into it with our innovative nature we could do something big .

When I lived in Cincinnati I rarely saw black people in IT. In Atlanta its a lot more for obvious reasons. Most people won't believe you until you show and prove. Get your money right then put them on if they're interested. When I first got started I went to all my brothers trying to get them in the IT game but they didn't listen
Yep...you kill the black family, the community goes next.
I see a whole bunch of shortsighted youths that just waste their most productive years on nonsense.

My jimmies were rustled watching this video. I have a black owned business with 1 damn employee (myself). I had to do everything myself, got NO HELP. Lol if you think banks help and my credit is solid.
All we gotta do is when we reach in our wallets/purses make sure we're handing it to black businesses. Also businesses spur off each other. You start say a cleaning service for offices. Now you gotta buy supplies. Your buddy can start a cleaning supply company. Uh oh now you need someone to make the cleaning supplys, now we need individual item manufacturing facilities. Like that with everything. Start a restaurant, someone's gotta grow and process the vegetables, someone's gotta supply the cups, plates, napkins, etc. All you gotta do is find the consumer base by RESEARCHING your local spending patterns. Black folks eat fish more then anyone. Start a fish farm, uh oh now we need a fish food supplier. Uh oh now we need transportation.
