Never said it didnt and yes we are offering that, just not in large numbers. Yes the American dreams offers all of that, but tell me between 05-09 how many people lost all of that? Who said we needed to buy a house? Nothing wrong with renting, bills paid yes, but how many of those bills are necessary though? What is a good community for a black family? Not when you have bores ass white folks with guns killing us. A lot of black people think the American dream is simple and its not, and its doesnt mean happiness...not anymore. It's more of a liability in my honest opinion.
Self respect means not selling your soul for a buck, you values and morals. We don't have to do that to be happy.
you went all over the place here so let me try to address it point by point.
- no, the black community isn't offering jobs like that. the overwhelming majority of us are not working for black owned businesses.
- there is a huge problem with renting. that argument could fill up an entire thread though. if you think you can some how accumulate wealth by paying rent to another person, be my guest. renting is why black neighborhoods get gentrified so quickly.
- yes we spend money unnecessarily, we're the largest consumers. how does this address the "c00n" problem?
- exactly, what is a good community for a black family. since blacks haven't taken the time to really develop our own black suburbs, where should strong black families assemble?
- realistically, we're all more worried about chief keefs killing us than we are zimmermans, lets be real about the shyt.
so we're back at square one. if a black person sees it economically viable to kiss up to whites for a chance to take part in their community. what are blacks offering to counteract that desire? we don't own any media, we don't aspire to be business owners, we aspire to be consumers. as a group collective, our priorities have to shift dramatically.
