A way to rebuild Black Wealth?

[OddBeMe]

Lawsuits. And cops are at forefront. Perhaps defunding to reorganize and de-escalate could save future budgets of Red States.

After slavery, Jim Crow, the Tulsa Race Riots destroying Oklahama’a “black Wall Street”…I’m not so against these treasonous acts.

Like “smelling marijuana”. Liquor actually has to be seen open in the car, Marijuana is a subjective gateway: to a cop’s illegal search of a vehicle.

I’d rather have million of my tax dollar fund lawsuits

I’d rather NOT retrain police in de-escalation.

And the racism pours. Not gone as I was told.

My people right up until the 90s were very disenfranchised couldn't discriminated from jobs, policing education, housing, loans and owning certain properties but what changed that was access to education, southern Ireland booming economically and immigrants returning home with skills& money after 10-40 years of working. Now my people are some the best educated and wealthiest in Britain and trends have reversed with the others who were basically given everything now struggling on an equal playing field and their best and brightest leaving for mainland Britain.

[AnusNdaPainus]

Hey why are Irish women so well endowed?

[jshm2]

There is no such thing as "Black wealth". A dollar is a dollar regardless of if it's a White, Black, Jew or Native American that makes it.

The problem is the failed social structures of America have never been addressed. The Japanese and Germans started reeducation programs after the war to address the problems their social structures had. Americans haven't ever established a stable education structure since the war for independence, let alone re-education.

Hence the jokes about American "culture" and why you lurch from one social crisis to the next. You have hicks who think they "won" the war of the south, living with people who think Jim Crow era laws were "correct" trying to shack up with people who want Martin Luther's dream to be a reality, trying to get into bed with people who think Hitler "did nothing wrong".

You cannot have logic or reasoning in such a society.

[OddBeMe]

Meant there are no dollars in black communities.

[AnusNdaPainus]

Desegregation was the worst thing to ever happen to the black community

because they started investing their money in other communities instead of their own

instead of their own Hospitals, Schools and Banks

they spent 9 billion on alcohol in 2020

About 70 billion a year on fucking sneakers 💔

in 2022 the black spending power hit a whooping 1.6 Trillion yet there has not been another HBCU built in this country since the 60s

but I think people are scared of the black community because if they stuck together like the Hispanic community

we would have another Tulsa race massacre

[OddBeMe]

Been over this I’m sure, but diversity is the best thing. Immigration even better. Economically

[AnusNdaPainus]

Diversity is fine but the black dollar isn’t being invested into the black community

[Drewtate]

Nah it was the CIA pumping heroin into the black community to fu down their wars in South America, then you got the creation of welfare, jobs being sent outside the us, successive bad democrat governance in cities, Joe Biden's crime bill in the 90s all of which fueled gang wars, drug addictions broken familes, prostitution and young men institutionalised by the criminal justice system.
In 2022 the black spending power hit a whooping 1.6 Trillion dollars? How much of that was spent Nike Jordans? 1 billion? How much spent on nails and hair extensions? On Mercedes? How much we spending paying the intrest payments on loans?
It's not that we are spending our money outside the black community that's the problem, it's that we spending it foolishly on crap we don't need rather than investingit in our own futures. Black Spending Power is just a pharse media people and community activists coined to make it sound like we oppressed but we got somehow got power due to how much money we blow each year. Nobody talks about white spending power or Asian spending power or jewish spending power, why? Because they said their money, they invest they money in bonds and shares, they get themselves mortgages rather than pay somebody else's mortgage with rent checks. You see a white guy or Asian guy he not spending $300 dollars on the latest Nikes made in a 3rd world country for a dollar, he might be driving a busted old Honda even though he making good money because he trying to get together the down payment on a house or start a business or get enough money to go to college. White women don't be spending $2000 per month on hair and nails. Asian people be pushing their kid's to do well at school and college.
We gotta look back and ask why all through segregation and Jim crow was the black community mote prosperous then than now?

[Drewtate]

Not sure what you mean. Black people face the same problems as working class white people. Good paying jobs is what is needed to build black wealth but unfortunately for decades jobs have been moved out of the US and illegal immigration has driven wages down.

[Chayce]

It starts with fathers needing to be back in their families lives & not having all of our positive role models assassinated. I’m not sure if these are feasible now. It would take a lot to change the mentality of inner city youth. Rap probably should be eradicated as well.

[OddBeMe]

Right! Then the cops wouldn’t HAVE to plant evidence. Duh

[Drewtate]

Cops don't have to plant that much evidence really. Growing up in the black community it was more dangerous to be a young black male than serving in Afghanistan or Iraq as a soldier. Of course the Democrats were providing community funding in the form of welfare scraps but really what was needed was jobs and more cops on the beat.

[OddBeMe]

@Drewtate not gonna lie, prob true. What’s overall cause? No funding in communities? Not even grocery stores?

[Drewtate]

Stores are closing in black communities in many liberal cities due to shoplifting.

[OddBeMe]

@Drewtate I keep hearing that “liberal cities”. Are they more powerful than the Repub governor?

[Drewtate]

Liberal cities enact laws, like in San Francisco where they basically decriminalised shop lifting so now stores in black areas are now leaving because they can't afford to operate.

[OddBeMe]

@Drewtate Basically de-criminalize, but it’s still criminal. Funny. And with red states, governors are cucks and blue cities run rampant?

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Black people in the general sense don't know how to built wealth much less keep it long term.

You can give all black people in the U. S. 10 million dollars tomorrow, check on them 10 to 15 years later and about 75% of them won't even have $100,000 in the bank left.

[Drewtate]

You are absolutely right.

[Sevenpointfive]

black wealth didn't go anywhere. it's back in africa. if you don't like the way you're treated where you live then move. there's no shame in going back home.

[Redstang88]

“Rebuild” what was never there? It’s the same as the natives here, you can throw at the money you want at the poverty and crime problems but the fix has to come from within

[OddBeMe]

Well I do agree. But funding the community gives them ability to fix within.

[Drewtate]

From my experience growing up, "funding" the community usually results in members of the community who are middle and upper middle class creaming off the money and opportunities offered for themselves though they don't need it. A good example is college scholarships, how man scholarships for underprivileged black kids go to kids who don't actually need them, then they get to college and be protesting white privilege acting oppressed

[OddBeMe]

@Drewtate not gonna say that doesn’t happen but Medicaid and social sec help millions of poor people. We could do more and prevent more fraud.

[Dargil]

Outlaw teacher unions and overhaul government schools.
Provide tax incentives to keep married couples (of all races) together.

[Juxtapose]

Why are you thinking like a racist? Wealth is not black or white.

[OddBeMe]

Sigh…black communities dumbass. Funding communities is black and white.

[Juxtapose]

I have no interest in racially motivated handouts.

[OddBeMe]

My brother is handicapped. Are you for disabled movtivated handouts?

[Juxtapose]

Being black isn't a disability lol. Obviously the elderly, disabled, etc get helped with SSI, SSDI, etc. That's part of FDR's promise.

No racist handouts though. The law should be UTTERLY colorblind.

[OddBeMe]

Didn’t say it was genius. Don’t rearrange my words for a straw man argument. Just say you ran out of logic.

[QuietRunner]

Education and actually working

Getting Blacks to follow laws and work

[OddBeMe]

How would we get there…. oh funding black communities.

[Drewtate]

Funding black communities to do what?

[OddBeMe]

@Drewtate better public transportation to get black peoples to jobs? Stimulus to get parents home parenting and not at third job?
