A few of the things learned at the Black Think Tank
Facts:
1. The first Americans or native Americans going back to
13,000 BC were black! Look up the Folsom people who
lived in Arizona.
2. One of the best reason to stop our use of the term African
American and say Black. A white person who was born in
Africa, who moves to America is an African American and
qualifies for financial aid, etc., but will get the jobs/pay
privileges afforded to whites.
3. Look up the Slavery Law of 1665 (which stayed in effect until
1968)and the Maryland Doctrine of Exclusion (1638): both
laws state that blacks must be excluded from the benefits
afforded whites and that blacks must remain Noncompetitive
with whites, except in sports and entertainment.
4. Two white men: Bill Gates and Larry Elision, combined have
more wealth than the combined wealth of all 36 million
blacks in America.
Civil Rights did not change the economic landscape or the
balance of power in America.
5. Asians received 80% of all government minority set aside
contracts. Hello!!
6. Blacks eat more fish than whites by a 4 to 1 margin. For
every dollar whites spend on fish, blacks spend $9 on fish.
Fish sold wholesale for $1 will retail at $2.50 - $3.00. Guess
what business we should be in as Blacks?
7. There are no black owned national cable or major network
television stations. The black woman who owns our only
black owned radio stations,plans to sell to white owners after
hearing the deal Bob Johnson received for selling BET.
(Cathy Hughes is from OMAHA . . .yall!)
8. There are no black owned companies on the Wall Street
Stock Exchange where blacks own the majority or controlling
interest of the stock.
9. Ninety-six % of all black inmates are men.
10. Over the next two years 440,000 black inmates will be
released from prison. The State has no place to put them
as they re-enter society. A profitable business would be
a Halfway house!
11. In 1860, 98% of all Blacks in America worked for White
people. In 2001, 98% of all Blacks in America still work for
white people.
12. In 1860, blacks in America had a combined net worth of
one half of 1%
point. Guess what, . . .in 2001, after Civil Rights, Jesse
Jackson, Oprah,Shaq, NAACP, and Urban League, our
combined net worth is half a
percentage point.
13. For every dollar earned by a Jewish person, that dollar
touches 12-18 Jewish hands before it leaves their
community. For every dollar earned by a black person it
leaves the community soon as he or she earns it.
14. The last week of April 2003 in Washington, DC black
teenagers where arrested and booked for eating
McDonalds on the metro subway. Cops cited the recent 5-4
court decision as the permission to arrest lawbreakers even
for minor offenses.
15. Sixty-seven percent of all hate crimes in America are
against blacks.
After we get through being pleased that we have carpet in
our office, a secretary, our name on the door and make six
figures, we do not own anything. What will happen if you
miss 6 months of work without pay? All we have left our
children is debt not an inheritance. You cannot pass welfare
or food stamps onto our kids as a nest egg! We are not
even in the race.
By the way, the word "race" hit the English language in the 16th century when Europeans held a contest to see who will win the race to gather the most wealth through exploitation of blacks.
You must read Powernomics by Claude Anderson. This is our blueprint to create wealth, not just have a job, but be a business owner, so you can hire people, be listed on the stock exchange, develop businesses to meet our needs. This is "Good Food" for thought.
