Its done..

Our community has turn so much into individualism and fukk others mindset.

Basically individualism destroyed the black community. Instead of spending the last 50 years focusing rebuilding \building up our communities, we focused on obtaining "white"success. Without realizing we don't have those same networks.

exactly.... and if we have those close connections, the black person in power looks down on his or her own assuming we are all rotten potatoes

Most people, regardless of color, don't have a Pa$$ion For The Chip$.

Of course, we can have individual success with any business/industry we decide to enter.

But is it too late to become a dominating force in any industry as a collective?

Seems like every industry is already controlled/occupied by another group.

Of course we can get individual pieces of the pie.... But is there any industry that we can dominate as a collective?

breh you haven't seen the way the Brothers known as Al Haymon and Sam Watson have put the BOXING GAME.in a chokehold for the last decade?!?!?

look at Showtime tonight for the PBC card featuring Charlo and you will witness BLACK.EXCELLENCE

Not at all.
Robert F. Smith dominates private equity, and he didn't found Vista Equity Partners until 2000, if there's going to be any sort of dominance though, we need existing Black wealth holders and the current talent to work together, not as one cohesive team, but dispersed throughout various fields in the markets. Tech is still booming, finance is ticking up, and there are still about 75 countries with emerging markets: potential wealth in the trillions.

The possibility is there.

Why not make moves in Haiti since you claimed to be so proud of your Haitian side?

You could wife one of the baddest women in Haiti and have opportunities available to you in a developing nation that you won’t have here

Haitian corruption is on some other shyt man, getting business deals/contracts and land is an uphill battle, everyone wants to be in your pocket just to allow you to thrive, and the capital base there is incredibly low. Injecting capital into Haiti, to help develop some areas and create a more friendly market, and then building business there is the most simple and direct way to do it, but you already have to be sitting on multi-millions to start it.

Like when you think hair & beauty supply industry... You think about the asians.

When you think about media/sports/entertainment... You think about jews/cacs.

Cacs and other minorites got tech on lock.

Etc etc

These other groups been gettin money for decades, centuries


Seems late in the game



Is the "black business/economics" thing basically a fantasy?

No one has a monopoly on revolutionary ideas that change the way we do certain activities.

No one is stopping us from becoming masters of a variety of Trades and no one is stopping us from seeking out other black people too handle our services. The church could easily be used as a hub to train black people in a variety of day-to-day services.

I just drove by a van that had a huge German Iron Cross and this guy is advertising himself as a plumber. Even white supremacist have plumbers they go to

There's a selfish mindset in Haiti and most african countries. Anyone who gains power is thinking to exploit.
Can't blame that on any outsider. Why cant i do honest business in nigeria, haiti or Uganda?

To be fair, individual success can build up a community, the issue is that things like proximity of living, and there being so few Black people succeeding, impeded everything else.

In Nigeria and Uganda, a lot of the mineral and oil wealth is easily stolen, and/or protected through tight tribal and local networks.
The realisation is that outside groups want access and have no issue being just as underhanded, so they allow patronage networks within the community and select people in the network to form.
Haiti has dealt with outside groups openly stealing from the nation for centuries and being blocked from access (from France, to the US, to the DR, especially under Trujillo), this coupled with the criollo-esque mixed groups, who forged their own wealthy class (think of the Black bourgeisie here in the US, but without the massive amount of community projects and support, and still almost exclusively light-skinned) and keep the wealth gap so wide in Haiti, and almost no formal professional class, and you have Haitian corruption.

nikka was dissing his AA side and stating how proud he was to be Haitian a few weeks ago, claimed they were the GOAT blacks. I’m just saying if he’s so down for his people make moves in Haiti. It’s an uphill battle but if you’re black everywhere is an uphill battle. He has access to resources that 95 pct of people in Haiti don’t that gives him a leg up and means that people in Haiti will associate with him that wouldn’t associate with the avg Haitian

Capitalism erodes most values. Imho.

One of the biggest issue in our community now is people waiting on the next man to do something. It’s not enough individualism among us and that is the problem.

Of course. It's all a mental thing. If we could go from slavery, to having dozens of Black Wall Streets, why can't we do it again?
