this dude has true solutions
Solution 1: Chose a city to build ministries. These ministries was one community in Middle America where it had hospitals, small businesses, banks, colleges, police department, judicial system and an industry where it was primarily to be BLACK owned, operated in order for there to be at least one BLACK community in America where the dollar circulated 90% in a black community for the black community without leaving the black community. He asked for blacks around the country to donate money to the land he found for this purpose and asked once built that the professionals would give up their high end careers and live and serve to give this community a chance for 2 years. If you were a Lawyer in New York, you would leave your job to be a lawyer in this small town, if you were a master plumber in Detroit then you would leave and bring your skill to the small town.
(This was in his million man march speech. It never happened but a FANTASTIC solution and BOLD idea I wish he sold more and preached more toward)
Solution 2: African Americans should focus on one industry for today and all run to this the way the Indians do to being doctors and running gas stations, the chinese do to nail shops and dry cleaning, the koreans do to hair products, the mexicans are doing to sharecropping and fixing houses.
The solution was for every Af. American that could to focus on buying property, houses, land for investment purposes and not just to live in.
I've been saying solution 2 for about 4 years now and been thinking that land was the answer to. I'll take it to my other thought and say to buy land to sell and to then link up with black property owners and start a mortgage company (like Bankers Financial Group) and start lending money to blacks and continuing to buy mortgages and sell them along with property.
I put up a SOLUTIONS thread for Black folks, but nobody bit on it. Many can talk about our problems and what we do wrong or compare us to WHITE people Chinese or Latinos, but when you just pose the question of positivity for solutions and I get crickets....................I guess just like Farrakhan's ministries he tried to put up.
Crazy as hell to compare a thread to Farakkhans' ministries. fuck it, did it. Peace
