I get all that black community crap. But you tell me how suggsting rich black people sponsor black farmers isn't socialist rhetoric.

"From each according to their abilities, to each according to their need." Or however it goes.

I'm just drawing the parallel, and making the point that in this capitalist society, you can't expect -- or even ask, for that matter -- people who feel they have earned their money to do anything that can be construed as "giving back." It would be nice if they did, but it's foolish to look for it.

You want a black capitalist society, don't expect to get there through socialist means.

Think deeper, people. The problems need more than this kind of reactionary b.s.
