No...it doesn't. However...if you have an entire faction of a community that is still sufferring the psychological trauma of slavery...and you don't attack the root of that problem...then you're building on a fucked up foundation. The Black community needs to be taught self-reliance. The Asian community knows it. The Arabic community knows it. Nigerians, Ethiopians...all other immigrants that come to America know it...except the African American.

Working with white businesses is like returning the guns to the master, point blank. The Black community has no idea the consumption powers that they have. Fuck bringing in outside help...I'm tired of begging for shit we should have in the first place. Someone has to engender that creative spark within our community by rebuilding the foundation. Self sufficiency. You speak very virtously...you must not live within blocks of rampant crack and prostitution. I do.

What makes you think that all that will be given is susbidies. I didn't say that you just give away your money. That's stupidity. You CULTIVATE your capital to build a stronger foundation. Say you build a supermarket in your neighborhood, employing people within the neighborhood...and using the profits to establish other neighborhood programs. This is for the betterment of where you live, right? THIS ALL STARTS WITH CAPITAL!! Who's gonna give you that shit....the government? BWAHAHAHAHAAHA....never happen.

But I respect Hammer. Hammer would not have gone bankrupt if other mufuckas stepped up and put their money where their mouth is. AND...Hammer is a very bad example. Hammer bought into the extravagant lifestyle as well...he created a spectacle that was just a money gobbling machine. True, he employed his boys...but what lasting social impact did he leave? When did he ever take a stance on anything?

SOMEBODY HAS GOT TO TAKE THE WEIGHT. That same mentality that you are spitting is the reason why shit doesn't change? WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO DO SUCH AND SUCH...I WORKED HARD FOR THIS SHIT...THIS IS MY SHIT...I DON'T OWE NOBODY SHIT!!! Bullshit...you owe us everything. You us for every stitch of clothing with your name we purchase...for ever single you dropped...you owe us. America teaches its citizens that their only responsibility is their own accountablility. I know mad grassroots people who soldier on the level that they can afford trying to bring about a new way of living...imagine how much easier it would be if a highly visible public figure assisted. I can tell you it won't be JESSE JACKSON...he's too busy fighting bullshit causes.

How do you teach a poor Black man to fend for himself if you don't set the example? Teach him how to dunk if you're an athlete? Act if you're an actor? Those are god-given talents...GOD-GIVEN!!! If you are not returning the fruits to God (The Most High is represented in his people)...then you're wasting that shit.

Yes you do. You stand to lose everything. Every fucking thing you ever owned. It could blow up in your face...you could get jacked for your money by disreputable people...yes you could.

But if you don't take the chance...what have you done? I mean...what have you done other than secure YOURSELF over the security of the WHOLE? That's America at its best, huh? That's what we want kids to grow up to think? Not mine, yo. Not mine.
