@josephc28 You need to buy gold coins and silver coins as for investments not as things to show off. I have been wise with my money and invested it. I never bought the notion that you can spend yourself rich.

As a people, we need to learn to invest in the substance of success rather than the trappings. I am in debt too, but my debt is limited to student loans. I dont borrow money or use credit cards to buy gold chains and rims for my car. I dont frequent pay day lenders. Many white people are caught up in this as well. Consumer debt in this country is exploding as a whole. Good video!

if black ppl keep looking @ college as a prerequisite for a job instead of gaining knowledge, then this trend will continue. i don't know how many times i heard a black person say "i'm majoring in business management" ok & then what? r u gonna use that degree 2 form meaningful relationships with other ppl? maybe do some over sea's studies to enlighten yourself. these r the things us black folk don't think about when where 18. most r thinking "i wanna pledge" .

Great Points!

Why do we leave our country towns to get a college degree along with a Corporate American job and then disown our people back home?

In fact, they are the ones who help mold us to be who we are. Even if we saw the negativity in their lives, it boost us to make more positive decisions.

Word of Advice: Considering yourself being a product of your hometown helps you represent home well. Hold your head up and stick your chest out. There is good in the hood and the good is YOU!

She is right. The reason is that blacks don't own much capital and resources like their white counterparts. African American with all the struggle and progress of equality mainly by unity and legislation are still 100 years behind whites.
