Especially with the way these white folks love quoting MLK and telling black folks to be like him and shyt. Nope.no one believes this slandering bullshyt...
Everybody in their feelings about them tearing down our "greats" and our "leaders"but as I've said on here before, they released Malcolms FBI files decades ago, there wasn't shyt in them. He's an open book. He was loyal to his people and the NOIthey even made a book about them (which I've read):if you're struggling with coming to grips with your love and respect for Dr King all these years and the reality of this situation, do that shyt offline. Lashing out at people ain't a good look.
Shut up with the insincere ass kissing, we don't believe you...
YoungMoneyCashMoneyBoy said:All anectodes and assumptions and not a single shred of evidence to tie mlk aided legislation to any growth in black wealth because there hasnt been any with respect to white wealth.
During the past quarter century, minority-owned businesses have undergone a significant transition. Small-scale, personal-service businesses—beauty salons, barber shops, etc. —no longer predominate; they have been replaced by businesses in a diverse array of industries from which Blacks had, heretofore, been excluded for reasons of education, experience, or race. Between 1960 and 1980, minority-owned, personal-service businesses decreased by 49.1 percent, while minority-owned finance, insurance, and real estate businesses increased by 185.7 percent; business services increased by 175 percent; and wholesale industries increased by 111.8 percent.
One factor that may have helped accelerate this trend, from the mid-1960s through the 1980s, was public-sector, affirmative-action programs in contracting and procurement. These programs created important points-of-entry for minority entrepreneurs, allowing Blacks unprecedented opportunities for diversification in choice of business ventures. This new stage in minority business ownership began with the abatement of racial segregation in the 1960s. Accelerating factors during the 1970s and 1980s were education and experience; Blacks were quickly gaining managerial and executive-level experience in the corporate sector, pursuing business degrees in greater numbers, and, in general, accumulating greater endowments of human-capital attributes closely associated with self-employment activities.
Ok, y'all can take down Martin but then I want Malcolm X day and monuments instead tell them that and they'll be loving Martin again like he's god
Only problem with is that I've said the same thing before on here years ago. not use to people actually saying what they believe offline huh
Move the goalpost as much as you wish, but the simple fact is that the Civil Rights Bill empowered Black people economically.
As far as evidence, no problem.....

Thank you, Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement which opened-up opportunities for Black people to become economically empowered.
