Speak on it brehs! Felt this quote deserved its own thread.
How come we're so afraid of doing for self? Creating, employing and spending amongst ourselves.... ?
Depending on ourselves for resources - the way it should be.
How come when these topics are brought up - it causes arguments and insults?
Something is wrong here..... we're the only group who actively doesnt believe in the value of entrepreneurship and job creation.
I get it, it's hard to care about that when you've "already made it" or "got that good job" but the way we talk down and belittle entrepreneurship as if it's something to be ashamed of, is crazy.....
We sit up and talk about whitey all day, meanwhile at any point in time - he could stop writing your checks.
This is the only way to rise in this system.... thru creation and building amongst ourselves.
Cacs know our people are dependent upon them to survive and until that changes, there will be no hashtags or Protests that will make them care about anything until we affect their pockets and start competing and start disrupting their cash flow by building amongst ourselves.
Working for the white man for the rest of eternity is counterproductive if we're really about black progress as a collective.
