Black Women Help Employ Other Races of Children--Not Their Own

That's right!

When we spend our money with other races of people (such as Caucasians, Hispanics, Arabs, Koreans, Indians, Egyptians, etc.) we willingly give them the money they need to live comfortable, over the top life-styles. The billions of dollars we spend with them allow them to:

• Purchase luxury homes, cars, boats, planes;
• Buy their kids everything they need and whatever they want, when they want it;
• Provide/buy the basics for their kids/families required to live, e.g., food, safe housing, clothes--all with great ease;
• Pay for theirs' and their kids' education;
• Make whatever type of purchases they desire--and cost is never an issue;
• Take vacations whenever and wherever they desire;
• Save millions/billions of dollars that they receive from black women, men and children;
• Invest millions/billions of dollars--none of which is invested to benefit black people who spend money with them--for centuries;
• Disregard the need for jobs and other economic opportunities for African-American men, women and children. Stop! Just think about this for a moment.

Now, look around you. Think about the little black kids who go to bed hungry--every night--and receives the bulk of their meals at school (breakfast and lunch), which is not sufficient. Think about the black teenage boys roaming our communities selling drugs because want access to money to buy the very things other non-black teenagers buy and are able to buy because we spend our money at their parents' businesses, providing them with the economic resource (money) and wealth to meet the needs and wants of their kids.

Have you ever noticed that Whites, Hispanics, Arabs, Koreans, Indians, Egyptians do not use black professionals for any of their services; they do not spend their money with black people under any circumstances--not one penny, ever! I get very angry every time I think about these facts.

Why do I focus on black women--and not men--for not doing what we need to do to cure our social and economic ills?

I focus on black women because our children grow-up and do what they watched us do when they were growing up. Most--not all black women--failed to train our children to support one another. Our children were not taught the importance of supporting black businesses, using black salespeople when buying big-ticket items like homes, cars, furniture, and services from black doctors, accountants, insurance agents, lawyers, etc. Rather, our children heard many of us criticizing black men, black business owners, black professionals--the only black person that got a pass in the black community was the "pastor." SAD! But, nevertheless, we're going to fix it. Right?

Based on the economic strength of black people and the billions of dollars we spend, there should not be one black child lacking in the basics such as like food, safe housing, and clothes; unemployed black men should be at a minimum; black children and young adults should be able to get jobs (summer and otherwise); black women and their families should be able to live better than we are, and where we want to. But we're not, because despite the billions of dollars we contribute to the fine living of other races of people, they do not extend the same monetary considerations to black people.

We must leverage (influence/control) our economic strength to benefit our own families by being mindful of where, with, and through whom we spend our money. For example, when you are shopping do what every other race does: Go to the member of your race--the black salesperson--whenever, wherever, and for whatever you're shopping for. Buy or switch your home/car insurance agent to a black agent/broker--simply locate one and let them know you want to shift your current policy/account to them from [the non-black agent/broker], and you don't have to change insurance companies to do it--I did it, with ease. When you go buy a car, use the black salesperson--seek them out; don't see one? Leave. Make the sacrifice by seeking out opportunities to contribute to the economic existence/upward mobility of black people, especially our men. If a Chevrolet dealer is the only dealership with black salespeople/men on staff, then we should be buying Chevrolet-brands through those black salespeople/men--even if we have to sit and wait for him/her to finish with the new car buyer ahead of us. We have to start making sacrifices in every facet of our lives in order to improve the economic conditions of our people.

Caucasians are more inclined to hire black women and a few of men and young people. But, by-in-large, we are the largest unemployed race of people on the continents of North America, Africa, and Europe, and that shouldn't be. We've got to do it for ourselves without much delay.

If we change our behavior, we will be able to change the behavior of our children.

Again, I pray. I retreat to stay to fight another day.
