Be part of it - creating 100,000 New Businesses During Black America by 2010
Small businesses account for 85 percent of all new jobs in the United States. With the collaboration efforts of those Black and Black have-nots, small businesses can apply for positions working in our communities that will benefit the interests of both groups.
Several years ago a good friend told me of an incident in which a rich white man asked, "Who will take care to poor whites? "The man replied:" Rich people take care of the poor white to white. "My friend asked:" Who will be responsible for poor blacks? "The man said," God will take care of poor blacks. "The rich white man did not even consider that Black wealthy people would address the Black poor. Why is that?
Donations to Black colleges, as stated in many recent reports, are almost exist between Blacks and Black alumni. For decades, corporate and foundation donations have kept our country, historically Black colleges, compared to sustain life. In addition, large pools of wealthy Blacks have graduated from traditionally white universities. Without any relation to universities historically Black, who have little incentive to donate. [I'd like to think they could have at least a small incentive]
Let me rephrase the statement wealthy white man differently. White "rich" look white "Have-nots." Black "rich" look in Black " nots. "Black Haves take care of the Black Ha Nots, right?
Before the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, most blacks, regardless of its origin and other factors such as education, hair texture or skin tone, were forced to sit in the back of the bus, denied be in many restaurants in white, and are forbidden to drink from any source by the words "Whites only."
Small groups of Black Haves were forced to live in the same neighborhoods, with the large group Have Nots ( "red line" was the term commonly used to refer to discrimination mortgage) before the Law of the Community Reinvestment and Equal Housing Laws. One of the most degrading social practices that Black men, regardless of its size, age, or financial resources, were subjected commonly referred to as "child" by many within the white population.
Job opportunities at companies like General Mills, 3M, Cargill, Sears, investment firms on Wall Street, or any other big corporation does not exist before the riots civil rights during the 1960s. Arthur Fletcher, a Republican from Black, who worked in the administration of Richard Nixon, had not yet coined "cancel programs or affirmative action." (Google Arthur Fletcher for more information.)
Corporations and local and federal governments have had not submitted the work to promote Black as EEO directors, diversity managers, or minority recruiters and purchasing agents. Whitney Young, the great leader of the Urban League, had not yet negotiated agreements to open the doors of corporate jobs in Black Americans and other races.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said in his "I Have a Dream" speech in Washington, August 28, 1963: "America has published the black a check marked insufficient funds. "Many of us really have not grasped this essential point.
"In a sense we've come to the capital of our nation to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence signed a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men and white men, would be guaranteed the "rights inalienable "of" life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. "It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given black people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds".
Today, in American cities, we celebrate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, upon payment of catering white to provide meals at the banquet of the best white-owned centers and hotels, with our best clothes and to pay $ 40 per plate. Few of these dollars go to the owners Black business. Dr. King told White America to ante up economic opportunities for blacks. That was his mission, he was assassinated in Memphis. He was fighting for the economic opportunities for workers in the trash.
Meanwhile, do not forget Malcolm X, the lobby of the street. Malcolm X put together in the streets, Nots has awakened from his time, to face to be heard, seen and acknowledged by all means necessary. Malcolm X, a base pressure group, said in his speech "The Ballot or the Bullet", which for blacks to be Republicans or Democrats is not important, we have been equally oppressed by both sides.
Fast forward 40 years, from 2008. The 60 fire disturbance outside. Black communities are still controlled by the same people who controlled 40. Leadership of those Black 'role never took root, the Black Ha Nots remain abandoned. Black those most often awake to a life in predominantly white neighborhoods, drive to their jobs in business and luxury cars support about white water coolers with peers work as if Black has no Nots.
Black Those are not without family - mothers, fathers, cousins, aunts, etc, in the old neighborhood. These people among the 8 out of 10 blacks who are unemployed or underemployed and living paycheck to paycheck. While Black has Nots are trapped in the fire in the fireplace poverty without door marked "Exit", those Black spend their paychecks from businesses and maximize their credit cards in their newfound communities, together with, for many, a desire and / or merger bid.
Many black workers and professionals providing services such as realtors, see very few who have dollars Black '- the Black Haves purchase of white professionals with the illusion that they have "arrived". Where? To feel that reached by spending their money exclusively within white businesses? Those who are Black, white smile often see the professional as a trusted friend, but not extend the same confidence to Black professionals.
A reporter asked a white voter in a southern state to explain why not vote for Obama. The voter said, "We take care of ours." Black Voters Will look after their own?
Photos of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, that adorn the walls of many of the Black houses of the rich are the only vestiges of a connection to the community in which those who have once lived Black.
In "The Ballot or the" freedom Bullet speech, Malcolm X stated, "The community in which you spend your money becomes richer and richer community that takes your money becomes poorer and poorer. "
Is this still happens in 2008?
Black's in a hurry to sponsor business outside their own communities in which they were born, pink, and their family members still reside. Those who fall behind struggle to find a corner store.
Business leader, AG Gaston in Birmingham, Alabama, was reported to have said that is much better to say "rich", say: "I am poor." AG Gaston was rich. When Dr. Martin Luther King arrived in Birmingham, which was not received by the buttons at the Hilton. He was received by the buttons on the AG Gaston Hotel. Yes, the AG Gaston Hotel. AG Gaston was a millionaire Black. His wealth was created during the Jim Crow era by providing goods and services to Black rich and poor were forced to live in neighborhoods in Black only. At his death, was worth million. He had created hundreds of jobs and provided training and employment to thousands of unskilled Black have-nots. Today, the Expo Gaston AG is held annually in Birmingham to promote economic growth in the Black community, with emphasis on wealth creation and capacity building that creates the companies that offer jobs in the black community.
Many today are Black, are more egocentric. What are Black are for the most part, are wary risk. They play it safe. Malcolm and Martin took the risk.
We must find the talent, that take risks to create businesses in Black communities. Where is this art is? This talent is found predominantly in corporate America? "Blacks who come to work at 8:00 in the morning, accountants, professionals marketing, lawyers, IT professionals and others, have the skill set needed to create companies?
The "inclusion" objectives of Corporate America are met by hiring Black have. But rarely hire or create opportunities for Black Ha Nots.
Black leaders of the past would be a great disappointment to see the full stratification that exists today. Black rich, in many cases, seem to think that "I got to where I am, here at the door of corporate America on my own. "In many cases these people close the door on creating opportunities to access Black have Nots in the future.
The trenches during the civil rights era is filled with both Black and Black have-nots. Laws against denying opportunities based purely on the color of the skin had not yet been approved. Further trenches were lined with "Ready to Die" brothers and sisters standing arm locked when the legendary Bull Connor (Google, if you have not a clue who Bull Connor) unleashed the dogs, opened the water hoses and Black have denied the right to sit at the counter lunch (while reciting "in the name of God and Good Christians" in Birmingham, Alabama). Malcolm X defended the concept of not sitting at the food counter, but owned the lunch counter. The late President Kennedy said, "There's very little value in black for the right to be accepted in hotels and restaurants, if no money in my pocket and no job. "
Rich Black in 2008 are doing a much better job keeping the doors closed for the chance that any of the doctrines of the past. The Ku Klux Klan, the bastion of white supremacy that was so strong, especially in the past, can not compete with the oppression of the new guards who are in positions as EEO directors, directors of affirmative action, purchasing agents of minorities, etc, who are unable or unwilling to provide opportunities Black Nots for You. Black Haves of today, many of whom hold jobs in advocacy roles in Black have-nots, are not and never be advocates of entry in Black have-nots. Black heads of departments of the cities most often EEO advocate for the appointed mayor, rather than the urban citizens, particularly Black has the Nots.
Black Those who have climbed the steps of the opportunity not only of their own volition. They walked on steps built with stacks of corpses of lynched and murdered black men like Medgar Evers and Emmett Till. These opportunities were created by the late great efforts of the lobbyist, WE Dubois, Booker T. Washington, James Brown, and countless blacks and whites, which called for better treatment and opportunities for blacks in America.
These jobs were not created by the "Ready to Die" brothers and sisters who filled the streets of Minneapolis, Detroit, Los Angeles, Cleveland, Birmingham, Washington DC and other cities across the U.S. during the riots of the '60s? His legacy was that it appeared he fought for justice, care, and took a risk to make a better way.
Malcolm X said in the afternoon of 3 April 1964, in Cleveland, Ohio:
"The economic philosophy of Black nationalism shows the importance of our people in the creation of these little stores and developing them and their extension in large operations. Woolworth did not start out as great as they are today. They started with a dime store cents and extended and extended and then extended until today, they are all over the country and around the world and receive some money from all ... - General Motors [is] the same way. They do not start with it. It started a little rat race type operation. And grew and grew until today that is what exists now. And you and I have to start again and the best place to start is right in the community where we live.
"So our people not only have to be re-educated the importance of supporting black business, but black has to be aware of the importance of starting a business. And once you and me in business, who owned and operated by business at least in our community. What we do is to develop a situation where you really be able to create jobs for people in the community. "
Once again, I will rephrase the wealthy white man's original statement. Those caring for the Nots White is white. Those caring for the Black Black has Nots. Those who have Black take care of the Black Ha Nots, right?
I present to you: those with Black today must step up to be the leaders of the revolution of small business for the sake of the Black Ha Nots. You can create the economic stimulus package for the communities in which they grew up, where their families reside, the same communities have abandoned, in many cases. The Black Nots will have those Black - because they want good jobs and safe communities, too.
I submit to you: contractors such as Bob Johnson, Magic Johnson, Madame CJ Walker, Russell Simmons, Reginald Lewis, AG Gaston, Earl Graves, and John Johnson are just some of the many talented creators our communities. They created jobs, opportunities, and community revitalization. His religious affiliation is not important, nor is his fraternity, sorority, church, organization of social networks, educational attainment, or political affiliation. Both Black Haves and have Nots are supporters of presidential candidates Obama and McCain. The agenda is to build economically strong communities in order to achieve parity in the United States.
Small businesses are responsible 85 per cent of all new jobs in America. With the collaboration of Black and Black have-nots, small businesses can apply for positions work in our communities that will benefit the interests of both groups.
Objective. Our goal. Create 100,000 new Black businesses throughout America 2010. Being part of it - the economic revolution for parity. Be part of it!
