The Economic Crisis of the United States

[xxterribleone1899xx]

I enjoy listening to Mr. Yeshitela, sadly it took me a Dead Prez album to find this powerful and passionate man. I question my own self why I rely on other men and woman like Mr. Yeshitela, to bring self enlightenment when I have access to the truth if I just read. Thankfully Mr. Yeshitela is here for all of us lacking self motivation, or straight laziness, to inform us about important concepts, beliefs, problems in today's world.

debt is another form of unslavement. and dont think for a minute they won't create some law to force you to "work" off that debt.

We need to go back to the wisdom of our Ancestors, who where smart enough to stay out of the debt trap, ppl do not own property in the US, white or African, they own mortgages, America is a credit system, we played the game, so we got burnt. It's time to take all our marbles and go home. They are now introducing this same system in Ghana, and ppl are forgetting the wisdom of our Ancestors, so they are losing their land and homes there to the illusionary concept of private property.

[ngonea]

universeplayground - why do we need someone to get us into our spiritual knowledge when we can do that for and by ourselves?

[faanunu]

If the banks would have refused loans to blacks on the valid basis of low income, they would have been accused of 'racism' by these same people. But that action would have kept blacks within their means and helped them save money. Now the pot has burst and they are complaining. Besides black Americans are on average far better off than most blacks on this planet who mostly live in Sub Saharan Africa or upto a smaller extent in the Carribean and Brazil.

[lavender55]

Most people in america r better off than any part of the world. but Blacks in america r arrogant just like whites in america. We r the only race in america who did not volintarily come over here, this is why our view on America is so different than yours. We know our ancestors were slave labor for americas FOUNDATION. And with the racist card. . dont get appauled & defensive when u have a history of being offensive.

[theonlybyrone]

Did you even listen? Latinos lost more money due to the sub-prime mortgage scheme than Africans. Not to mention, blocking loans for the "valid basis of low income" is an extremely ignorant and racist generalization. How do you think it is that Africans are in the low income bracket? I can't wait to hear your response.

[misspilatus]

I know this is a late response but Hispanics now outnumber blacks and it seems like the Hispanic population will continue to outnumber blacks. The black population in America like the white isn't growing that much. Hispanics have a lot more kids than both blacks and whites but no matter what whites will always be on top.

[ngonea]

misspilatus - your kind is living proof ,everthing Omali Yeshitela says is urgently true, Uhuru!

the Black population in America is not limited to America. Black ppl are all over the earth, and we know where we came from, "all over the earth " including the America's, long before you crawled out of the caves and hillsides of Eu-rope., we were and will always be, all over the earth.

[JMeijer803]

banks try to trap everybody that isn't the 1% of people (white people) who are in control of 98% of the world's wealth.

The bank thing is bigger than anyone of any color. It's human greed at the top that is trying to make blacks, whites, reds, purples, and greens homeless.

[EVM3point0]

but doesn't acquiring money get boring. Especially if your using it on negative things like to control. Humans are a weird race that need to be awakened.

[slapalistics]

did the chairman speak about the jeremiah right speech and barack(yes we can boss)yomama's uncle tom reaction denouncing black radicalism?

[djfu74]

Let's just get organized and advance our agenda.

Verbally wrestling with enemies or those who sympathize with our enemies wastes valuable time and energy. Our objective shouldn't be to convince the rest of the world that our people have been violated. We can take a seat at the table of global economics if we would just organize.

[Chulinina]

He's right on the money when he states that the lending abuse attitude from bankers was by design. However, I disagree with his statement of this problem being design to enslave only the Latino/Black populace.

[keenanjenk]

Omali Yeshitela never said that this is only effecting one area. He said that is is in majority effecting a certain area which happen to be black people. But ofcourse He believes this is not just something by mistake it is design too.

[madcatzy]

This is a stupid video! both black AND white has been hurt by the subprime crisis..many white people work for minimum wage so don't say that they have 10 times more money than blacks

[keenanjenk]

So you also do not listen to the videos you watch. When referring to the income difference. He was talking about the median which means the AVERAGE! Not some individuals...

THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU SAY!

[frankxxx]

Average and Median are absolutely not the same. Pick up a dictionary.

[keenanjenk]

CORRECTION! Mean, median, and mode are all types of averages! So get your facts straight or go back take middle school math again.

[xxx12345yyy]

White people don't own homes either, we rent them from banks. Anyway, if you can't afford a house, don't buy one, it's that simple. As far as mortgages resetting, what did you think ARM stood for?

[keenanjenk]

Well since you are so caught up on what is happening to white people you really missed the whole point of the video which was to raise the contradiction on how the current political trends are effecting African people a great deal more and in a way that isn't effecting white people. Nobody was saying that white people don't have their own problems. Stop being subjective. You really don't have to make white people the victim of everything. They'll be alright.

[xxx12345yyy]

Maybe I didn't get the whole video, I was just making some points on a couple of the topics discussed. Anyway, I think that there is a group of people in the world who will take advantage of anyone in order to make $, white or black. It's just that people who don't understand what they sign and have no understanding of economics (white/black/asian) will get screwed more than people who do. So, I guess what I'm trying to say is that it pays to be educated.

[lordblazer]

the video is focussed ont he perspective of people from the diaspora. IE Africans.  Black people in America in my opinion are Africans also. We are Africans in America. It's just focussed on our issues why? Not everyone is gonna talk about white people. If you want that then just watch the news on tv.
