collective black economics.... helps with "I would lean more toward (lack of) education and literacy,"
How does HL feel about Dr. Claud Anderson?

Pretty much this.
Its easy to get people behind anything bigoted, much easier than it is to get them behind something positive. He mixes truths with nonsense to create a feel good-black power-screw white people euphoria certain niqqas cant resist.
Until he opens his talking points up to scrutiny ill have no respect for his positions.
As I said before, he talks about this so called "intellectual superiority of the black baby." Nonsense lol

That's gibberish
we need both.
education does us no good without the money and resources to make shyt happen for ourselves. and money does us no good without the knowledge of knowing how to strategically spend and invest.
but i also think we need to make a distinction between a traditional western education, and REAL education. if we're talking about teaching the babies how the world really works, and how to think and live the right way, then im in full agreement. but if we're talking about going to traditional k-12 schools, then going to a university, and then possibly graduate school, etc., then i would say thats not a formula that can work for everyone. plus in general, western educations tend to be a little fugazi.

I don't think so, I think the biggest resource is the human mind and it's the only real one you need, and by educating the mind you are creating and expanding your resources, so I would strongly disagree that we need resources to make things happen, education is the only real resource you need
And when I say education I mean first reading and writing, that is the biggest weakness black people have and then after that depending on a person's interest they can go toward business was or toward graduate school and such or both
I'm not sure what you mean by western education but no people can move forward in terms of science and technology until first going into western education, after that you can integrate western education into a specific culture
I don't really buy any of the education arguments anymore...education has never been cheaper in human history than it is now. People can literally self train for anything online, at the library, etc. Nobody is "stuck" in unskilled positions that is not too lazy to want to better themselves. Some may have to accept such positions temporarily given economic conditions, but nobody with a will to get ahead has to remain in such positions indefinitely. The excuses need to stop.

well again, when i say education i mean reading writing and arithmetic, black people are way behind from grade K-12 and in basic academic skills
self training online is education, so that isnt going against the education argument that is adding on to it
im def not against focusing on business, i just think education is the fundamental, and learning business is itself also education
and that is why i think we need to destroy the public educations system and switch to independent charter schools and vouchers....cuz that would create business opportunities for black educators and would open up the black education system to people like claude anderson or even leyet's mumbo jumbo
Education doesn't fix every problem in the world. Also it is just one of our many issues.
A focus on business is THE KEY as Claud and others have said. The reason for this should be obvious - People on a higher social economic ladder tend to get better educations and tend to be influenced by different cultural influences. They tend to deal with less abuse and less mental trauma growing up as well.
A focus on random schools, the government, and a simplistic view of the flaws in our education system - only leads to a few more making it. IF a few nikkas from Detroit or Flint go off and gain educations and become very successful - What does that matter when their money will not be reinvested - and their knowledge will not be spread and transferred to the youth?
A black focus on group economics is really the main thing we need to focus on.... Not being financially unified is the reason we are usually left in the dust. It's the reason why as more and more of us gain college education the conditions of the masses do not improve.

actually it does fix just about every problem in the world
people in the higher social economic ladder got there because of higher education
why would a "few nikkas from Detroit or Flint" go off to and gain educations, who is suggesting that? im saying black people in detroit and Flint need to invest in schools and universities, so people dont have to go anywhere, and also we need to essentially eliminate the public education system and have have black educators open up their own schools under a charter and voucher system
not being educated is what has left black people in the dust, black people have fundamental problems at the K-12 level, that is where the focus needs to be
and there is no country or community that has thrived without putting education first, education is what gives you the knowledge in the first place to open up a business
Black smoke and cac jokes
Your daps are mine
no, they got there by generational wealth
ill keep it short and say public education is used as a tool to train civilians from a young age how to think and act. the education they provide as a supplement to that training is meant specifically to teach children WHAT to think and not HOW to think--two very different modes of thought.
reading and writing are obviously valuable. math and science are also valuable subjects because they're pretty objective. but the rest of the subjects taught in school, especially history, are heavily watered-down, distorted, and mostly useless. that's why so many people graduate high school but still dont know shyt.
like the brotha said prior, my students could get a better education with a strategic curriculum of youtube videos than they can in some public schools, and probably in half the time.
i mean really think about it. 7 hours of "education" a day, 5 days a week, from ages 6-18? and what have been the results? not impressive if you ask me.

Well like I said, I support the destruction of the public school system in black communities and replacing them with vouchers, charters and school choice, so I'm not defending the school system
I think first you have to get the fundemantals right, and the fundemantals are reading, writing, and math, and that is where schools are failing black children, I think beyond that is kinda where the parents and community has to make a choice of what they want the kids to learn, but again that is why I support ending the public education system, people have to make that choice of what their kids should be taught by consulting with people like Anderson or even yourself, the school system should be an open market of ideas, there is nobody with a monopoly of good ideas for improving schools
Under a charter/voucher system if we want to open a school that focuses on business we can do that, if we want to open our own business school we should do that etc, but the bottom line is that education (meaning reading, writing and math) is fundamental, not business

in every modern society the people with the most education usually end up with the more wealth, and generational wealth can usually be traced to an educated ancestor
so the way to build generational wealth is through business, but before you get to that you have get your fundamental education right, and that is what black people have lacked for 400 years
SMH @ how true that is. Cats here hate solutions and rather talk about beefing or trickin on hoes these days.
He has a lot of great ideas for turning the black community around. Hope he can mentor someone younger that can be seen as public figure, maybe more people will listen and make things happen.
