we'll never see another black wall street; the black communities are too fragmented at this point. We may see a major black owned media company that's able to compete with the white owned big six; that's more realistic, and I'm actually surprised no one's even attempted it yet

I'm still hopeful, but its gonna take a serious wakeup call for us to get serious. Trayvon didn't do it, Mike Brown didn't do it, Eric Garner didn't do it, Tamir Rice didn't do it, and Charleston didn't do it.

I'm not sure what will wake the masses of us up, but I'm hopeful :mjcry:

I ask everyone here. ...

What area would you have it in, what is the cheapest area with a high black population.

High as in number, not loud.


Also would you support the efforts? Or would you build your own hood? Doing either is ok

Chicago easily.

How it remains so cheap compared to LA or NY is truly unknown to me and absolutely would I support it without a thought, when you look at how much land you have to work with.

Everything south of Little Village ? You know how much real estate there that's probably dirt cheap compared other places? Especially the older generations of family members who may still own their own homes?

In a goddamn second. Love this city.

Definitely not Washington DC. Too close to the govt. They'd have their noses in businesses every day trying to find loopholes to shut things down.

Any modern Black Wall Street type of area is going to happen organically and not by people trying to designate an area to turn into one. I think somebody already said this in this thread but Black Wall Street happened because the segregation conditions back then forced it to happen. We had to work together and have each other's backs because white people were not letting us into their schools and businesses. Racists still exist but now you probably won't get lynched for stepping into a "white area." People were forced to be "woke" back then so a large number of Black people will have to become woke again to create another area like this.


And here are majority Black cities and town in the US: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._communities_with_African_American_majority_populations

Not before the dollar falls . When that happens, there will be no use for those businesses. Buy guns, silver, canned foods , etc . Get yo family minds right . You gonna need it .

OP I've said the same thing before. If the NBA and NFL were filled with Indians all that cumulative billions of dollars would be mostly recycled back into family, friends, and communities of Indian descent business plans and efforts..........LITERALLY.. :yeshrug:

No sah. Blacks arrived in Mexico first. Di asian and indian looking people came 1000's of years later and tried to take over black people land. They killed many blacks. This is documented in a bbc documentary, as well as cave engravings. Blacks have no allies. Indian/asian looking hispanics are NOT over brothers.

Black Wall Street happened in a time when African Americans were forced to start and support their own businesses do to segregation.
