We are not in a hopeless situation, and we have continued to advance. Bob Johnson is NOT the only Black billionaire, and we do head companies in which THEY work for US. We look to the wrong sources for information, and, when we don't hear anything, we think it has yet to be achieved.
My question is.. What is YOUR (personal) definition of Black Power in the 21st Century? Has it been achieved? Do you see yourself being able to achieve it? How?

Take a look at the July 22 edition of Fortune magazine. It spotlights several people who head companies in which "they" work for "us" -- Stanley O'Neal, Kenneth Chenault and Richard Parsons come to mind.
I also don't believe that we're in a hopeless situation overall. We do advance, but only if we take advantage of educational and other opportunities. I certainly don't want to imply that we're hopeless.
