@SenseiOfSoul I've patronized lots of black owned businesses and most of them plain suck. Most of the crummy little ghetto stores are run by third worlders who have even less money and access to banks as blacks do. Blacks can't even run a bodega.

This guys grasp of economics & history is typical for a ghetto lowlife, Chucky D, who's he, some lowlife who blames the Jews.

This is what hip hop should be about.
It should be about the struggles and how we can uplift ourselves than the shit, we enjoy listening when it inolves murders, women exposing themselves and saying because they've got this and that.
If our ancestors were alive today, then they will curse them and rightly so.

the problem is much more complex than just starting a bussiness, or a bank . the cruz of the problem is NOT understanding our fixed geological position in the world . in short no country of our own; and the ability to gather and fabricate the natural resouses of the land . no people can truely advance with out the natural resourses of the land. but even if we could the capitalist country would marginalize our country juat like they are doing to all black nations , like haiti to name one.

That is a very simplistic view. Blacks do attempt to start their own businesses. But get turned down by banks for small business loans. Racism ain't fire hoses and dogs turned on us no more. It's more systematic and less blatant. And about those "now hiring" signs...they rarely pay a wage that someone can survive on. So many turn toward the illegal ghetto economy.

But never dispair, We always find a way to circumvent the system even while walking circumspect amongst the haters.
Once folks quit with the Bling bullshit and leave the dope & guns alone then we can jump to warp speed and drop the horse & buggie mentaility.
