I have a proposal that could build equity in the black community within a reasonably short time

[Elim Garak]

It would require someone who is not crooked and everyone would need to work together. The way it would work is every black person in America contributes $1 for every regular paycheck they get. You then take that money and buy a house starting with the people most in need that being people of very low income, single mothers, people in abusive relationships etc. If it was successful you could rinse and repeat to do things such as acquiring businesses transportation etc.

That is why I said you would have to have someone who is not a crook. Im talking about stand up people not pieces of shyt If people really worked together and were not selfish this could be done.

one of the biggest issues for blacks is mishandling funds. I would personal donate way more then that if i could trust the people involved

Yeah many could but I would want it to be sustainable and affordable for everyone until everyone eats. Maybe there is someone legal way it can be set up where it is less likely someone misappropriates the money.

start with worker owned co-ops and public banks

Good thought process but that's the start of a Ponzi scheme. Need to have some accountability practices implemented and proper oversight. Both centralized and on a grassroots level. But I get where you're going with the suggestion. Legally - No one person should be signing off, have a reporting system in place to direct and track equal distribution of funds. Decide the types of programs, resource allocation...

Of course that is obvious I am not a lawyer so I do not know what legal barriers you could put in case to fight corruption but I think it could be done.

What you just detailed is what people call main, sou sou, esusu etc..depending on which culture/nationality you come from

usually done with co-workers or members of the same church.....the amount of people can be from 10 to 500, and the weekly contributions are much more than a dollar


EPIC stories of pure skullduggery,theft, signing up to receive first payment/award and then skipping town,

It's noble but wouldn't work. Now if there was a National registry for all working slave descendents to pay a tax of say .5% of every pay check into a regulated fund that would be issued into a financial institution governed by elected officials. This fund would issue no interest loans/grants to qualifying business start ups and currently owned 51% slave decended american businesses of importance to a target area as studied by economic experts. Stuff like that is more feasible but it would never happen. What we need is for this who get it to live around each other and build from there.

If we could get unified on this level we would be unstoppable

We would literally run the world

Yep

If they can’t afford the home, then they can’t afford to keep it up.
