    if you live in a border state, ‘mexicans’ have pretty much taken all of the jobs that black people used to do (postal, ups, retail, barbers, butchers, construction, plumbing, painting, landscaping, carpentry, etc. etc). once they get into upper and mid-level hiring and management positions, they find ways to make the workplace ENTIRELY ‘latino’. it’s a HUGE problem that nobody discusses

      @SarahBaartmansRevenge. It has NOT just been occurring in "border states." I'm in the DMV (Washington, DC) Region & began warning people about this back iln ~2008 when I began to notice that the construction, landscaping, hospitality, food service, & domestic fields were getting FLOODED with obnoxious, nasty, semi-literate ILLEGAL LATINOS from central/south america. It's completely crazy that some Black Americans are still psychotically supporting the DEM party. The DEMS are largely responsible for creating these "sanctuary city" areas around the nation. So, you can't logically expect that they will do anything to stop the insane amount of unlawful latino immigration that's been occurring for 15+ yrs.

      They also just do it. They make their own businesses and shop at those businesses and set up their own neighborhoods without feeling the need to gloat and boast about it. You will hear a huge fanfare about any black business opening and they think that its just going to be some booming business simply because it is a black owned business. Just start the business and start buying the businesses products or services. it really is as simple as that. The want for popularity of the business is often greater than the want to actually successfully run and support the business.

      Yes and no.

Then, they started the kumbaya campaign that Black people brought into that used the Civil Rights Movement to benefit every group but Black Americans. This was social engineering. Yes, we have to fight it but let's acknowledge the devil's workings or otherwise you start blaming the victim & pretending every other group had this practically insurmountable fight when they didn't.

    You guys remember when Kevin Samuels said men would have to cut their hair / dreads if they want to be employed by a company and move up the ladder. This is still true. Appearance matters.
    Everyone is not going to the league to be a ball player.
    Everyone is not going to be a famous rapper, singer or actor.
    We need more skilled workers… plumbers, electricians, HVAC, mechanics landscaper etc
    We need police officers, nurses (male and female) firefighters, pharmacists. We need more correction officers as well. Stop shaming these jobs.
    Everyone will not have a glamorous job / career I can promise you this but, most of us can make a honest living and contribute to society and our communities.
    If you are going to college try go for engineering, doctor, lawyer.
    Trade schools are the best option right now for most.
    Stop blaming other people that don’t know you. Look in the mirror. Do the work to become a better version of yourself.
    Unfortunately we will have some failures, everyone can’t go and everyone can’t win.

I work for the government in Chicago and recruit for these positions. I can send over 10 qualified black men with their trade certifications plus yrs of experience and the white/polish mgr will select either someone from their own ethnic group or a Hispanic. A lot of these welding, maintenance, plumber, painter, laborer jobs that used the go to black men, are now going to Hispanics!🤦🏽‍♀️ Now we have a black manger and now he only select Latinos bc he is married to a Latina and is drenched in the Latino culture instead of his own black culture.

      20yrs ago I was in your position. Get the LLC back because it does carry huge benefits with your taxes. Find an accountant (not H&R Block) to perform the long form with write-offs at years end. Even if you only do $500 in HVAC business for the year you can save a bunch of money. Next access all of your State, County, and City websites for Construction Bond programs that may require the hiring of small or minority owned businesses. In L.A. & New York the school districts do billions of dollars in construction every year and are required to hire people like you with small companies. After that create a simple flyer (pdf) and locate the General Contractors Guide (I forget the official name but it’s basically a phone book for all the local contractors in your area) and send that flyer to as many emails that you can once every week. Remember that shaking hands with the people in your industry and being able to build quick relationships is key to finding about the REAL opportunities that exist. They’re never going to publicize that stuff to the general public (especially us black folk).

    We must hold each other accountable.
    Stop calling you children the N word. (That gives them an excuse to be a failure and is a form of psychological abuse).
    1. Educate your children in the womb. Read to them. Count to them.
    2. By age 2 your child must be doing ABCs and 123s
    (Don't wait for kindergarten at 5 years old.)
    Reading, writing and math are the keys to success.
    2A. Teach manners. Thank you, please, excuse me, sorry,...these words encourage peace. Children must learn these.
    3. By age 6 your child must have a library card. Take your child to the library once or more every week.
    4. By age 6 or 7 even younger take your children to museums, zoos, galleries, fairs, libraries....many are
    free.
    5. By age 10 open up a bank account for them. Even if it is $20. Get them started.
    6. They need to travel even to another state or if possible international. (Our children need to see places other than the hood so they can grow).
    7. Reading, writing and Math. (We wait to late. Focus on this from 2 years old)
    8. Stop making excuses. Try harder or seek alternative ways to go about an issue.
    9. Get our children into sports, swimming, dance, hobby... find a way to keep them busy.
    10. Encourage our children. Uplift our children. Give them space but not too much.

    Ok, here’s my take on this. I live in DC and work from home a couple days a week. Occasionally I’ll run out to pick up dry cleaning in the middle of the day since it’s only 10 minutes away. It never fails that in the middle of the day there are throngs of young, healthy, able-bodied men at the corner store or on stoops doing NOTHING but just hanging out. I see groups of teenagers out at all hours of the day and night doing nothing but causing or looking for trouble. I came here at 15 (yes, I’m black) and I figured out quickly to stay out of trouble and started working at 16 and never stopped, except for when I was in grad school. We can’t be perpetual victims when we’re perpetual volunteers. No one can be “put on child support” if they’re married to the mother of their children. At some point, we have to call a thing a thing.

Even black entrepreneurs don't always speak forthright about their white benefactor behind the scenes. They have to play a role and push a propaganda play to keep the status quo. Look at robert l Johnson and his benefactor John c malone who gave him the start up money 💰 to start BET. And malone connections as a cable bigwig helped get him key advertisers to grow the business. Follow the money and you overstand the play.

    Our understanding is also lost in the definition. The word "economic" does not just mean money. It's about the careful, efficient, prudent use of resources. So of course we live in poverty. What resources do we own? America's millionaires and billionaires own a resource(s).
    As long as we keep begging for jobs, we're going to keep suffering. It's about cooperative economics. Capitalism is just the cousin of slavery, stop wanting so badly to be comfortable. Stop thinking a job is the end all beat all. Like Dr. Claude says, "it's about what you own & control.
