I never said he was perfect. But he was against violence. And that is the reason he was so effective.
Yea but Malcomb X preached doing for themselves rather than trying to get along with ******. Black people need to start their own grocery stores.
First they need to start their own banks to finacne the loans necessary to build anything including grocery stores. But wait…Gaddafi was going to do that for Africa and look what NATO did to him…with Obama's blessings. Yeah, I said it….
Black credit unions aren't a bad idea.
The reason I think a black owned supermarket like walmart is important is because they would provided something the community needs and jobs.
Right now most food stores in Detroit bare Arab owned, don't hire a lot of blacks and they sell shitty food. Blacks will drive out to the burbs to get food. It's sad really.
With 700,000 residents how can or why would a Walmart fail? If they succeed everywhere else, why can't a supermarket succeed in Detroit? They should be OK with food stamps alone.
So tell me why blacks don't start doing this?I wouldn't wait for black banks. Doesn't seem absolutely necessary
It is interesting that you balk at the prospect of a national Black owned bank chain operating independently of White influence. Finance is the key to prosperity and opens the door for enterprise and success. That goal has been unattainable under the present system where approvals for loans depend on the whims of Whites who are part off the traditional hegemonic status quo
Agreed. I just don't think banking is that important or even necessary. Ultimately you're bartering with the US dollar. I got news for you. The bankers own us all. So don't waste your time. Or are you going to create your own currency?
Banks don't make anything either.
Here's why my way is better. Let's say you have a black Walmart. Walmart has a produce section and sell meat bacon chicken etc. There are lots of black farmers in America, yes?
Walmart sells furniture, yes? Well there are lots of black furniture makers in America. Clothes, etc.
I know blacks are very entrepreneurial. Those would help black business owners
