Key post! Excellent point!
The evidence is throughout history...everytime blacks attempt group capitalism, it is restrictive due to white interference...if not, it fails...the only time black capitalism has survived for long periods is if its individual so that blacks are not allowed to build a solid agency base...people who don't see this by now are sorely lost in this systemic hegemony...it doesn't work because the capitalist system, built on racist slave labor, is made to work like that.

this is misleading. a majority of white people are poor, too. we need to stop trying to frame blacks as the only class that's suffering under capitalism and its inequities, as if we're somehow different and not as capable as our white or hispanic or asian peers. the majority of americans are poor right now.

Dr. Claude Anderson has been the truth for many years. I came across him years ago as a college student. Read his books "Black Labor, White Wealth" and "Powernomics." He is big on the need for blacks to create businesses that employ blacks and put our wealth back in black neighborhoods...instead of non-black malls, stores and supermarkets.
He constantly makes note that blacks make up the smallest employer of other blacks....only 2% of blacks are employed by black-owned companies. And that we are the only group who raises our children to "go to school, get a good education and get a good job." Other communities promote the idea of getting an education to create their own enterprise moreso than we do. This leaves us vulnerable to market swings, corporate discrimination in salary proportion and "last hired, first fired."
Dr. Anderson heads the nation's only black think dedicated solely to the black community, The Harvest Institute. The website is:

oh, i'm not denying the privilege that white people enjoy. but the majority of white people are not wealthy. and sometimes, it feels like some of you try to paint them as if they were. white people don't deal with the racism we're up against, obviously, but whites are out here living check to check, too. don't prop up whites as if most of them have tens of thousands in the bank. they don't.
Capitalism is evil all around no matter what. But the history of this country has oppressed blacks to a degree that whites can't even comprehend. For me, its race and class, not just class. I'm not into orthodox Marxism, which is strictly class oppression; CLR James said it best that "it is foolish to consider class oppression without the component of race at the center."
