If you look at the day to day problems a lot of Blacks face, particularly poor ones, poverty is the problem that makes them easier to oppress in the first place. It's also the problem that's probably the most pressing in their daily lives.

No argument here, I just think that if you can't feed your kids, poverty is your biggest concern.

That kinda proves that we're still in the 4th inning, if only 10% of Blacks are at the top or economically successful....then we need to take care of the other 90%.

If 60-80% of Blacks were economically successful and there was still no change in the racial dynamics of this country....THEN I'd call Booker T. a failure.

I don't neccessarily disagree with you, however I do think that strategic use of economic power in politics still has value.

True, but perhaps economic strength can shield them and/or I can do something to put a stop to this nonsense.

Who do the cops shoot? Poor Blacks in poor neighboorhoods that no one is paying attention to. They prey on the powerless and those who cannot fight back. Ditto for Justice, it's easy to screw over a Brotha in court when he's got a lazy Public Defender defendin his but, as opposed to a good lawyer his family hired.

Education is such an economic issue it's not even funny. I went from an afluent high school to a Blue collar one due to my family moving and I saw that first hand. When you see working class friends who are brilliant, go to so/so schools (if at all) because that's what they aspire to (or believe they can do) while mediocre friends from affluent families go to excellent schools and end up making more then your poor friends parents fresh out of college....despite being well...idiots....you see the power of economics in education.

I read an Article in Forbes today that showed how kids born into Wealthier families do better on their SATs. Could be a 2-300 point difference depending on your parents income. That could be the difference between one of the top 25 schools in the nation and a so/so state school.

As for Capital it's about working the system, so maybe that's not neccessarily an economic issue, but a knowledge one.

It works like this, when you apply for a loan they look at your credit and income. Based on scoring algorithms they come up with an assessment that the lender uses to determine the size of your loan. However, you may get downgraded depending on your personal situation. I.e. If you're a free lance worker, they may downgrade you, if they don't think that your Business model is all that great, they may downgrade you.

On the other hand, you have "credit repair" you have so/so credit. But you haven't missed a payment in a year, or you need the car to go to work, or you work for a Pharmaceutical company, so the know you'll probably always be employed.

The point is that there is a lot of room for Loan officers to eff you over. So you need to learn how to work the system so that they can't do that isht. One way is to apply for loans over the phone or online, another way is to pull your credit report 6 months before you plan on getting the loan so you can make sure it's tight.

The point is that there are ways around all that isht, you just need to know what to do.



>Jews are working with the same
>people who hate them almost
>as much as us.

I wouldn't be surprised if they hated Jews more, but Jews have such a strong financial base that they don't eff with em. I don't care if people hate me, just if they eff with me.

They had money but NO power, what good does money do you in a society where you have no rights or any real power outside of your immediate surroundings?

This is what I'm talking about, Blacks need to build economic strength, wield that strength and develop a formidable presence is all aspects of society: Social, Economic & Political. That is how we can protect ourselves from things like this.
