Forbes: Atlanta is where Black Americans are doing the best economically

What are some business ideas that entrepreneurs get into?

Honestly breh, no need to even reinvent the wheel and create something new. Go on www.bizbuysell.com, see what businesses are for sale in the A, save up, and invest in something you can actually own and control.

Art arbitrage.

You could go to one of those Afro-Caribbean countries (i.e.: Cuba, Costa Rica, Haiti, Dominican Republic) and buy art for low. Then come back to the US and sell it for 10x what you paid. There are people out there who would pay a lot for African art.

I know it's poor form to post business ideas on a public forum but I doubt any of you guys will do anything. 90% of the people in this thread are all talk and will never break the monotony of their lives. It's a beautiful, alluring, recurring fantasy.



NYC only got really bad, in term of police brutality, in recent years (2011 - now). 2002 wasn't that bad. I think I was in midwood HS back then. Back then I could walk along Flatbush Ave. for miles without a fukking Long Island POS racist cop stopping me.



I've also looked into Hawaii. That state has the lowest white population in the U.S.

Breh, police been fukking with us on Brooklyn Ave since the 90's though. I was 12 years old going to Whitman Middle School the first time a cop fukked me and my brother walking home. They weren't on the stop and frisk shyt as they are now, but they were still fukking terrorist pieces of shyt even back then.

And I'm cool on the US breh. I wanna move some place that has a black government. Right now Ghana is #1 on my list. Gonna cop my girl an Adinkra cloth and throw the US straight in the bushes.

Yeah I know. The NYPD always sucked. As a kid the only time I saw a cop was when my family members were beating on each other (father vs mother, mother vs brother, brother vs father).

On another site (similar to the coli) someone suggested the formation of a stock market group with black members only. This was my response:

You have good intentions but you're going the wrong way. If anyone has any hope of making a ton of money then it won't happen on the stock market. As a lowend individual investor you'll be competing with institutional investors who trade using insider information. These guys have friends in the SEC and agents in various corporations (i.e.: Microsoft, Apple, etc.) feeding them information. Some of these guys use super computers that can execute trades in the fraction of a second (high frequency trading). No way can you compete with that.

Even if you make a successful, profitable investment you won't earn much money since you'll be paying broker's fees and capital gains taxes up the ass. Wall St. is an institution designed to help the rich get richer while everyone else suffers. It's like a glorified ponzo scheme.

You're better off investing in real estate or private businesses (not listed on the stock exchange). That way you have a direct line to the CEO. For example, If you have money invested in a hair salon that's losing money then you can call up the manager/boss/ceo and discuss it over lunch. If you own stock in General Electric (NYSE: GE) you can't call up the CEO.

As for a real, tangible plan. I'm not even sure but I guess you can convince 10-20 other guys to form a partnership LLC with. Everyone would have to put in $5000+ or whatever for an equal partnership. This business entity can purchase small-scale businesses. For example, you have sites like these where you could buy a wide variety of businesses including a restaurant, gas station, dry cleaners, super market, etc.

Where are you guys living in Atlanta? When I lived there I was broke and stuck in the suburbs living with my parents.

I really missed Atlanta and Cobb County I missed the fine beautiful sisters out there. I missed the Auburn festival I missed strip clubs like Pin-Up and Body Tap

I miss club nikki on Stewart ave and before 9/11 hustling students at Georgia State, the ol underground, going thru the airport without body checks and id checks, 96 getting to the bread, it was fun back then.....

 

[prophecypro]

Hasn't Atlanta always been the spot for black people to get some ownership of housing and business? Its why up north cats came down in the 90s too

 

[head shots101]

I plan to move down south in about 5 years..... Transfer to hospital down there

 

[O.iatlhawksfan]

Im moving their in 1.5 years when I graduate from LSU and not looking back, I built a lil network up there
Im leaving these Louisiana nikkas behind I tried to put them up on game but

Yu can be my Atlanta connection! I don't know if I wanna move there I wanna be loyal to my city but I have fam in the A and that's where I was born.

I was still telling my wife yesterday that I refuse to send my kids to a boarding/ private school here in Europe. I'm sending them to either boarding school in Africa or Atlanta. This is very important to me as it's important my kids go to private schools with a high black population. Ive seen too many middle class blacks having c00n kids by sending them to the wrong schools. If anyone knows any good black owned boarding schools in Atlanta please let me know. I can't send my kids to school here in Germany or the UK. Either Nigeria or Atlanta.

[Opus]

lived both places

Imo

DC > Atl

That 20 grand make a difference

Homes cheaper in the A, no equity though

Also, DC the people are more cultured and smarter. Best of the best here. People from all over. Too many slow racist cacs in atl. Police there on some bullshyt too. I be rolling around DC like police don't exist. But end up in forsyth or Cobb county or some shyt

Might have to move back out there...

Only thing I didn't like was the "keep up with the Jones" lifestyle. Shyt like nikkas pushing a Escalade...putting $2 gas in it. Also...I'm used to crushing hoes the first or second meeting. In the A...that's not as prevalent from my experience. Hoes want you to date them.

It's a very busy city...everyone has or trying to get something going on. Going to school or something. There's a much smaller population of black people just sitting round doing nothing.

I lived in College Park back in the early 2000's. Shout out to Godby and Old Nat! Had to get them Florida tags off your car back then.

Love how black and indeed that state is, nothing like it. And at the airport of course.

Used to hit this club....can't remember the name...but they sold pitchers of long island ice tea's for $10. I'd be walking round fukkED up with two at all times. I think it was in Clayton county.

Oh and peace to them gas stoves which had me scared as fukk at first...

you CLOWNS too worried about the next man to prosper.

The only one talking about "baller lifestyles" are dudes who don't have shyt going on themselves.

Black boarding schools, even in ATL don't really exist like that.

I knew some black girls that went to Westminster, but they were few and far in-between and you're almost better off just sending them wherever you can if private school is really that big of a deal to you.

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

Women in the A is about making money and get turn up. You could find you a woman with housewife quality, but it's going to be hard to find in the A, because most of those broads are career-oriented.

False.

See, this is what happens when we expose who has what mentality in this thread.

The southern belle definitely is in ATL...but you're not going to find your wife at the biggest box-sized mainstream-oriented club.

Theres bars, lounges, and tons of other more tame spots and events for you to do this at....and not every woman is about that "turn up"...its the women YOURE messing with.

They exist in Africa lol because most of the kids are black.
