In the past, Foundational Black Americans were the Most Classy, Admirable, Reputable and Married People in this Country. What Happened to US??

WHO DO BLACKS
SPEND THEIR MONEY WITH
MY SIMPLE FRIEND?

THAT PART OF INTERGRATION
DESTROYED BLACK BUSINESS.



​

Those businesses still had to pay taxes, pay white suppliers, pay white manufacturers, and white distributors.
The "black dollar circulation myth" needs to die, it's based on falsehoods aka a woman trying to sell a book in the 90s.
Willie Lynch Letter? Fake. Black Dollar Circulation rate? Myth.

REPLACE THIS WITH
THE CRACK EPIDEMIC.

THE NEGATIVE SIDE HIP HOP WAS JUST THE EFFECT OF THAT.

I was wondering how he had that whole list and some missed the crack epidemic. And to lesser extent the heroin crisis (especially in NYC).

No, Black Wallstreet, and the massacre that destroyed Black Wallstreet - WERE NOT myths. Willie Lynch Letter? Myth. Black Dollar Circulation? Myth.


Black on black spending — exploring the myth of the 6-hour black dollar
The source of this myth is a self-help book called, “Talking Dollars and Making Sense: A Wealth Building Guide for African-Americans. In a segment about the topic on the black-owned cable network TV One, TV journalist Roland Martin contrasts the six hour figure with the lifespan of a dollar in the Asian community (28 days) and in the Jewish community (19 days).

This statistic has often been used to show how little we spend in our neighborhoods compared to other racial and ethnic groups in the U.S., and imply that were we to simply “buy local,” as if we don’t already in the first place, many of our problems would simply disappear. However it’s worth noting that the source of this figure is sketchy at best, the book’s author Brooke Stephens never mentions the name of the study nor provides any information about the author. Experts suggest it’s simply an urban myth, and a destructive one at that.

Unpacking the the 6-hour myth​

The origins and debunking of the 6-hour are thanks to Truth Be Told, a non-profit, non-partisan website and digital network, run by Howard University’s Department of Media, Journalism and Film in the School of Communications. The organization investigated this claim and spoke to several economic experts including former Obama Labor Department official William Spriggs.

“It’s what I consider an urban myth,” said Spriggs, who is now chief economist at the AFL-CIO union. Spriggs also teaches economics at Howard University.

Spriggs said a red flag for him was the mention of dollars circulating in the “Jewish community” for 19 days. While the government does collect income and wealth data about race, it does not collect any financial information about religion.

“What makes me suspicious is that it has economic data based on religion when the federal government doesn’t collect any information by religion,” Spriggs said. “Where would you get that from?”

And even if it is theoretically possible, the data about spending in Asian communities is equally suspect. Asian communities are incredibly diverse, many of them poor as well.

These people look like pre "great migration" folks. Majority of black people live in urban areas with access to education and jobs now. Still mostly poor but it's a different kind of poor if that makes sense, it's entirely possible that those people with the suits on not even middle class. Black people from all classes dressed up like that pre-1960s

The first photo is 1930's/40's tenement housing in Chicago. Sharecroppers from the south that went north typically settled in tenement housing. Sharecroppers that stayed in the south, stayed sharecropping. The tenement housing in the north were the early pre-cursors of the housing projects today. Places like O Block. Virtually every housing project in Chicago - Cabrini, Taylor, Wells, Parkway (O Block) - were on sites of old historic tenement conglomerates that were formed during the Great Migration. They were built on top of sites of mass poverty.

This isn't new.

I think the disconnect is, back in the day, middle class black people were the face of black culture. Today, the face of black culture is the hood. Hence the pictures/videos in the OP and folks asking what happened? Nothing happened except who we have representing the culture. Folks that came out of the projects (O Block) more than likely come from families that were in tenement housing or sharecropping prior to that, whose photos we don't see as much as the ones in the OP, even though they probably represented the majority of black people during that time. We don't see these other photos because they weren't the face of black culture as much as their descendants are today.

I see nikkas are in attack mode because they are afraid of the truth

Black boys back then growing up wanting to work at manufacturing plants, auto plants, construction work, salesmen, different trades to raise a family and black women as well was working little jobs and taking care of the kids and everyone build together

Then the crack era came and it was a wrapped.. black folks wanted everything quick.. cars, nice places to stay, clothes, etc etc , fukk all that taking your time and build and responsibility and accountability went out the window… a lot of sisters saw that if they fukk up by having Leon and Willy baby and them nikkas broke camp, they can rely on step daddy to come in give them section 8 and food stamps as long as no nikka up in the crib and they was like ok

Young black boys went from want to be a physician, lawyer, salesman and different trades to being a drug dealer to a rapper

 

[vino]

There were men and women during that time that were wild as well. Men leaving families and raising new ones or living 2nd lives. Women prostituting and Black on abusing drugs then. There were gangs, criminal violence etc. I say that to say old generation of people are liars about the beautiful nuclear family structure or wonderful neighborhoods
