Trump wants blacks to gamble on his "what the hell do you have to lose"

2016 Nielsen Report: Black Buying Power Has Reached Tipping Point, But How Will Black America Leverage it to Create Wealth?

A new report from Nielsen, “The Increasingly Affluent, Educated and Diverse,” explores the “untold story” of African-American consumers, particularly Black households earning $75,000 or more per year. According to the report, Black people in this segment are growing faster in size and influence than whites in all income groups above $60,000. And as African-American incomes increase, their spending surpasses that of the total population in areas such as insurance policies, pensions and retirement savings.

In addition, Blacks are making gains in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) careers, helping to fuel income gains. The largest increase for Black households was in the number of households making over $200,000, an increase of 138 percent compared to a total population increase of 74 percent.

Black consumers are digitally empowered and well-versed in social media, helping to shape and shift the national discourse. And Black people are youthful — with an average age of 31.4 as opposed to 39 for whites and 36.7 for the total population — and rising in cultural influence, driving mainstream trends in music, television, music and other areas. Therefore, the report notes, those who market to Millennials and young people must reach Black youth.

Keep believing that we all live in poverty. :0)

what about the segment in the inner cities that don't fall into that category? You kicked them out i guess?

 

[jc456]

And ignore that 8 years ago you Republicans were telling uneducated blue collar workers that if they lost their jobs they should go back to school or start their own company.

What we know is that you caused them to lose their jobs and it's because you believed they were overpaid. Now you pretend you want to help them? ******* liars.

What has Obama done specifically to address Black UE? You people brag about Obama's economy. How come Blacks are not benefitting? Would be a great way to reward friends, don't you think?

Job creation for a specific group is not the responsibility of the US president. He is president for all the people. What do you expect Obama to do? He doesn't hire people. But with 75% of Black people living above the poverty level, Obama's influence must be having some effect behind the scenes.

75% blacks live in poverty? I just heard its 50% in Detroit. So I doubt it's 75% ANYWHERE.

The 50 Most Segregating School Borders In America

Nearly half of Detroit's students live in poverty; that means a family of four lives on roughly $24,000 a year — or less.

In Grosse Pointe, a narrow stretch of real estate nestled between Detroit and Lake St. Clair, just 7 percent of students live at or below the poverty line.

I thought you were different but your "Whiteness" is showing. You use Detroit as your frame of reference in judging ALl Blacks in America…. I thought you knew better… I won't waste my time trying to prove it to you. Google it yourself if you really care.

And I said 75% of Backs DO NOT live in poverty! How did you screw that UP!? Freudian reflex?

I was surprised to see you saying that 75% of blacks live in poverty. I was calling you out for being wrong/a liar if you were claiming 75% of blacks live in poverty. Relax, we are still on the same side. LOL

so a democrud calling another democrud a liar. you gotta love it in here.

 

[jc456]

The sad part is blacks on such a high percentage choose to stay with an ideology that has proven to have done nothing. Funny thing is many say Democrats TRIED. Typical mindset of as long as the effort is there, results don't matter. Wonder how many of them would pay a roofer to put new shingles on their house if the roof still leaked after it was finished applying the "he tried" mindset.

It becomes a choice between staying with the same roofer or going with the guy who wants to tear off your roof and won't tell you what he will give you in its place

The problem is you want the government to constantly give people something. How about people that have been given start earning it for a change.

blah blah blah blah blah....free stuff....thugs....blah blah blah blah blah

now let's pretend you aren't a bigot,.

How does that prove I'm a bigot? Opposing government robbing Peter to pay Paul is bigotry?

See, that's why everyone thinks you're a dingbat. You lack the capacity to commit logic.

Only right wing tools think Jillian is a dingbat.

I agree she is a dingbat, thanks!

Well, you haven't been to all of those towns you just read what your talking heads say about them. I've been to most of the largest cities in the USA and I agree with this author's perspective. The anti-Black propaganda persists only on a superficial level but that is enough to sway people like you. Here is a link that might spur you to look a bit further than Fox News or Rush Limbaugh!

The Cities Where African-Americans Are Doing The Best Economically

son, I live in Chicago today. this past weekend 40 shot 7 murdered. My father was born in Ferguson before it turned over, I've been in Baltimore, LA and Atlanta, I've been on the trains at each of these towns. So I am very familiar with what happens in these towns. I grew up in Berkley, MO. It is up there with Ferguson. You should learn your opponent before making stupid posts.

BTW, I challenge you to walk the streets at night in any of those neighborhoods. D'OH!!!!

They are the way they are due to lack of business. PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!

And guess why businesses won't go in those areas?

Impact Entrepreneurship is Thriving in Chicago

At a high level, there are a number of organizations bringing people together in this space.

• Forefront has worked over the past year to build a Social Innovation Roundtable in order to drive a conversation about moving more capital into nonprofit and for profit social enterprises in the city.
• The Chicago Community Trust (CCT), MacArthur Foundation, and Calvert Foundation announced Benefit Chicago, a collaboration that aims to deploy $100 million in impact investments into nonprofits and social enterprises in Chicago. Bringing together a private foundation, a community foundation and a non-profit financial institution has enabled a unique structure whereby anyone from an individual to a business to an institution can invest in the community.
• The Social Enterprise Alliance Chicago hosts panels and seminars with industry leaders on topics in the space,pitch nights to showcase social entrepreneurs, and monthly happy hours to network.
• Goodcity supports both nonprofit organizations and for-profit organizations creating or enhancing neighborhood programs.
• Seed613 (formerly JCC Pretense) has partnered with Upstart Chicago to work with entrepreneurs who are redesigning the experience and expression of Jewish life that have a lasting and positive effect on the community.
• Social Venture Partners Chicago supports nonprofit organizations making meaningful and sustainable improvements within the Chicagoland community and host a yearly Fast Pitch.The Center for Neighborhood Technology (CNT) works to promote more livable and sustainable urban communities. Along with working on long-term community projects, they host events that bring together community members to solve neighborhood problems through tech and global community challenges.
• The Center for Neighborhood Technology (CNT) works to promote more livable and sustainable urban communities. Along with working on long-term community projects, they host events that bring together community members to solve neighborhood problems through tech and global community challenges.

There are also a number of initiatives supporting a broader movement toward business with purpose.

• Conscious Capitalism in Chicago supports organizations in expanding their awareness, responsibility, results and impact in the world. Their yearly Summit brings together participants eager to deepen their practice of conscious capitalism.
• Net Impact Chicago supports the community of impact focused professionals and students through monthly networking events, curation of job postings, and seminars.
• One of the fastest growing paths toward business with purpose is to become certified as a B Corporation. In Illinois alone there are 21 registered B Corps pledging to make an impact.
• If business with a purpose is something you’re just starting to think about, the Conscious Business Network is an on-line and live forum for professionals and leaders who are exploring purpose-driven possibilities.

Many of the Chicago region’s top colleges and universities have also stepped in to play a leading role. The Social Enterprise Initiative at Booth hosts an annual New Venture Challenge, Loyola hosts the Quinlan Social Enterprise Competition and the Northern Illinois CASE Pitch With a CAUSE provides seed funding to a social enterprise winner. Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management’s Social Impact focus is designed to equip the next generation of business leaders to serve as socially responsible leaders — whether in nonprofit, for-profit or governmental organizations. And of course we have to point out that Impact Engine itself was founded by two university leaders – Linda Darragh was Director of Entrepreneurship Programs at Booth and Jamie Jones was Director of Social Entrepreneurship at Northwestern University’s Kellogg (SEEK) Program, Kellogg when they formed Impact Engine.

There is also a lot of effort being channeled into sector-specific work. When it comes to clean energy, Chicago has theClean Energy Trust, who has spearheaded programs that are revolutionizing the Midwest as a clean energy ecosystem, invested $1 million dollars in energy startups through the Clean Energy Challenge. The Energy Foundry is also a leading investor of venture capital in today’s most promising energy innovators.

Food is another hot sector: in 2014, The Chicago Community Trust in partnership with Kinship Foundation launchedFood:Land:Opportunity a multi-year initiative that aims to create a resilient local food economy while promoting market innovation and building wealth and assets in the Chicago region’s communities. They’re also hosting the Food to Market Challenge in October 2016 to help boost Chicago’s supply of local, sustainable food. The Good Food Business Accelerator, created by Family Farmed, supports entrepreneurs making an impact in supply chains for sustainable local food, and their first class of fellows went on to raise $17 million dollars in follow on investment. Helping to fund companies is the food sector is SLoFIG, a network of angel investors using private investment to re-establish a robust, sustainable local food system across the Chicago foodshed. Their investment model values both a impact and financial returns.

In the healthcare sector, check out the weekly events and workshops that MATTER hosts to keep entrepreneurs up-to-date with the latest trends in health innovation, and HealthBox, which drives collaboration between inventors, entrepreneurs and the healthcare industry.

Civic tech is also making an impact in Chicago. The Center for Neighborhood Technology (CNT) works to promote more livable and sustainable urban communities. Along with working on long-term community projects, they host events that bring together community members to solve neighborhood problems by create workable prototypes of apps that make local neighborhoods more sustainable, both environmentally and economically. Join CNT on June 17th at the Sustain-A-City Celebration to hear pitches from the finalists of the Urban Sustainability Apps Competition. Civic Blue1647 is using civic data to teach people about data and helping to start a conversation between technologists and the community in order to spark innovation at the neighborhood level.

Last but not least, the early success and recognition of Chicago impact entrepreneurs is paving the way for other entrepreneurs and investors to expand this movement. Of course, we have to highlight a number of Impact Engine portfolio companies:

• ThinkCERCA is an award-winning literacy platform that encourages students in grades 4 – 12 to build evidence-based arguments and has been recognized by Bill Gates as an innovative literacy tool that’s showing positive results for students!
• Piece & Co. is a fashion company that acts as a bridge between traditional artisan techniques and global fashion. By providing sustainable employment to women artisans in developing countries, Piece & Co.’s artisans create handmade textiles for the fashion industry. They have secured partnerships with designers Rachel Roy and Cynthia Rowley, Madewell, Toms, Crate & Barrel, Nordstrom, Alice + Olivia, J.Crew, Diane von Furstenberg, Tory Burch,Rebecca Minkoff, and Bucketfeet, just to name a few!
• Sokowatch uses the ubiquitous cellphone to help health organizations and consumer products manufacturers track inventory in developing countries where supply-chain management is a contradiction in terms. Sokowatch has been recognized by national and international impact leaders like the Prince of Wales Young Sustainability Entrepreneurs Prize, 1776 Challenge Cup, The Case Foundation, and was most recently named to Crain’s 20 In Their 20’s.

Those are just a few success stories, check out our whole portfolio.

It's a seminar. It isn't new business. LOL

What were they talking about you stupid ************?

"Chicago based City Business Solutions believe there are many reasons as to why businesses in the city are currently thriving. Despite its reputation for white collar companies and corporate culture the city has seen a huge rise in young and vibrant start-ups over the last few years. The city benefits from the Midwest’s diverse economy and large sales region, meaning that start-ups in the city have a strong potential for growth and can easily tap into larger, more fruitful markets. Chicago also has a strong entrepreneurial spirit, which in part is due to the region’s universities being hotspots for federal funding, which has helped to support many entrepreneurs ventures get off the ground. As well as this, City Business Solutions believe that the Chicago benefits from a highly collaborative culture with a strong focus on networking, helping new business owners to gain the support and contacts they need to succeed."

BUSINESS that you claim wasn't there.

Trump and the Artifice of the Deal

His "hotel deal" was funded by liberal Democrats? Who would that be?

The Democrats in NY that gave him all the tax breaks to get the deal done. Then it turns out there were other buyers who would have done the deal without the politicians giving them tax breaks.

The story was a great illustration of how you don't have to give companies a tax break to get them to do business. Lots of people with money are willing to pay taxes.

I actually give Trump a lot of credit. The slime ball was able to lie to the politicians and the Hyatt and get the deal done. He's been a master of screwing workers over all while he gets rich. You will hear many of these stories in the next LESS THAN 90 days.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

So you admit you lied. But even more shocking is your unabashed confession giving sordid details about the justification for violating another American's Constitutional rights. Because of laziness? That wasn't the verdict in North Carolina….

Is that the game you wish to play? Because if you do, I'll be glad to play it with all the court decisions in other states that say Voter-ID is indeed constitutional.

If the GOP is clearly the party for rich people, which it obviously is based on who the rich donate to the most, then why shouldn't the Democratic party be the party for the middle class and poor people? It only makes sense.

And by your logic, the GOP wants to make the rich even richer in order to keep their support. And lets be honest, making the poor middle class doesn't help rich people out at all. Does it?

This is just the rich party trying to tell poor and middle class people that what is good for rich people is good for the rest of us. Sort of like TRICKLE DOWN??? And we know that's bullshit.

You can't get us to vote GOP by telling us the Democrats suck. We know that. We also know you suck more.

Actually, I'm not trying because I know you had rather just keep on crying, "Woe is little old me" and playing your victim card. That's all you have, al you will ever have, and all you really want. Just keep on voting Democrat and you will continue to keep all you have.

Keep voting GOP and you will die penniless.

They'd best move fast then. I'm 73 and retired now. It's going to be hard for anyone, even Hillary, to get to me.

It becomes a choice between staying with the same roofer or going with the guy who wants to tear off your roof and won't tell you what he will give you in its place

The problem is you want the government to constantly give people something. How about people that have been given start earning it for a change.

blah blah blah blah blah....free stuff....thugs....blah blah blah blah blah

now let's pretend you aren't a bigot,.

If some people didn't constantly demand things funded by someone else, those of us doing the funding wouldn't say they would.

Let's pretend your existence amounts to anything other than the shit I flushed down the toilet this morning. Sorry, I can't even pretend that's true.

You mean like GW Bush's Texas Ranger deal that was funded by tax payers? Or Trump's first hotel deal that was funded by liberal democrats in New York?

Do you realize Trump wouldn't be shit if it weren't for liberal Democrats in NY? You ******* guys make me sick. You'll vote for ANYONE.

Trump and the Artifice of the Deal

His "hotel deal" was funded by liberal Democrats? Who would that be?

Found it.

How The Man Created The Brand In 'Trump Revealed'

In the their new book, Trump Revealed: An American Journey of Ambition, Ego, Money and Power, Michael Kranish and Marc Fisher of The Washington Post tell the story of Donald Trump's rise as a businessman, a political candidate, but above all, as a brand.

This sentence from the book captures the proliferation of the Trump brand:

"Trump summoned reporters to a press conference at Trump's Bar, located on the ground floor of Trump Tower, close to Trump Grill, just steps away form Trump's Ice Cream Parlor and the Trump Store, which was then pushing a new cologne for men called, Donald Trump, the Fragrance."

Kranish and Fisher write the point of that press conference was to announce Trump University.

Those people all died over 100 years ago. We're talking abut people alive today.

Remember the above when your ilk claims that southern racists of the 1950s-1960s were democrats.

What do the two things have to do with each other? When did slavery end? Do you even know?

Not true. Not true at all. My parents have $700K plus 2 homes. My mom had to go to an Alzheimers place where it cost her and my dad $11K a month. She was 69. Luckily she didn't live more than 3 weeks in that place. How much have you got saved? Lets pretend $500K which I know you don't. That's only 50 months. 4 years. If you have to go to a home your $500K can be gone in 4 years. Oh, and that doesn't count Ensures or the Depends or Morphine they gave her. Can you believe that? You pay $11K a month and food and medicine aren't included?

So where is the list of liberals who financed his "hotel deal?" BTW, Trump Tower isn't a hotel.

Seems like it's you suggesting blacks can't do what you do.

But do they have a car like you? Do they have a babysitter? Id? Money to get an ID?

And are whites going to make blacks in poor area wait 2 hours to vote while you 20 minutes?

That's entirely up to the district. Each district or county sets their parameters on voting; how many workers will there be, how many voting tables will there be, what facility to use for voting and so on.

But as long as you bring it up, how do those people with no car or baby sitter go shopping? Go to the bank? Go to see relatives?

Most states that I'm aware of that have Voter-ID give poor people who can't afford an ID one free of charge.

Does the signature match? Voter fraud is practically non existent

Which is utter bull. I have an entire folder with dozens of links to voter fraud stories.
