If that was to happen we could single handedly remove the white mans grip on the motherland ourselves and rebuild the downtrodden parts of Africa and reclaim our true home. Think about it the Black Leagues(all sports), black businesses supporting themselves,i can go on and on but we travel the path of progress and have been on this path since they first snatched us out of Africa. Sail on La Amistad sail on. They can murder us and teach us to murder ourselves but they will never break the GREAT AFRICAN SPIRIT that lives within us all.

I am in the process of putting together a group of Afro-Americans who want to make money and increase their wealth. The group will utilized the inborn talents of its members. Have any idea? E-mail me. I was very enlighten by your article on the state of Black wealth. I am in the process of putting together a group of Afro-Americans who want to make money and increase their wealth.

Anybody can spend money, it's investing it and holding on to it to use it politically that will make a difference. As the guy said in the Godfather. Finance is the gun, politics is knowing when to pull the trigger. Outstanding comment.

Truth is, it is now about how much we generate, but about how much we keep. Currently, only .07(seven cents) of every dollar we generate remains in our community. Therefore, our economic empowerment serves the majority(corporate, retail) communities moreso than ours. We can never financially liberate ourselves with such unconscience and irresponsible behavior.
