Black Unity over Black Achievment
The Mulatto Advocate not too long ago commented on a recent story about former NBA star Dave Bing:
Dave Bing has dared to try to make life better for Detroit’s school kids without consulting the Soul Patrol®.
How you ask? For starters, he starts his auto parts business in Detroit. Not the suburbs mind you, Inner City Detroit. To top it off, get this - he wants to hire local high school grads.
But there’s a problem. The city’s schools aren’t producing kids that are up to the task. Why does this not surprise me?
So, Mr. Bing being the enterprising individual he is, enlists the aid of a (gasp!) White man to start up a Charter School near his auto parts business.
You see, Mr. Bing done left the plantation and we can’t have that now can we? And God forbid a White man try to help Black kids - he couldn’t possibly understand. (more…)
The question “Which is better: Black unity or black achievement?” is still one that we still refuse to answer as a people.
