Or it's like when whites and non-whites alike talk about nigger this and nigger that, then go and listen to Tupac or some Cash Money record that they own. And it's like how whites stole rock and roll some 40 or 50 sumthin' years ago, and now they all believe that they invented it. If we actually had enough people rich enough to have their own shoe companies and more clothing brands and such, they wouldn't have to flock to Nike and Tommy. But also, too many flock for everything that's a big namebrand product instead of supporting things made by their own people. If blacks can get more people into the shoe industry and such, and get others to stop following all of the mass commercialism, then we'll start to support each other more.

No, for the most part the Arabs only own corner stores and gas stations. And they don't have to pay taxes as long as they keep bringing in someone new every seven years from Iraq. I don't like that fact that they and others put their corner stores in black neighborhoods and are willing to take black money, but love to to talk shit about blacks once they get back home or around their people. I don't care if another non-white group is successful, I'm sick of them and whites taking advantage of blacks and ridiculing our race at the same time.

Ooohhh, I'm sorry for actually caring about my community. Maybe to your white ass everything is individual and you really shouldn't care about everyone else around you. That's how many whites think because they came from the majority race in this country and it's easier for them to turn their lives around with loans and such than it is for blacks so they have no need to help one another, whether you want to believe that or not. But for blacks who have been discriminated and ridiculed against as a whole, some of us actually feel a common bond with one another and actually want to see the race as a whole move forward, not just a very small percentage of us.

Maybe this is nothing more than an individuality issue to you, but if a black person becomes successful and opens a business in his neighborhood, he will more than likely want to give back to the community and help others to make it. Maybe not all the time, but there is more of a chance he'll feel more connected to the people he's doing business with and want to help them, than some Korean who just opens a store in a black neighborhood and follows every black customer that walks in there.
