i agree with you DG, we must do for ourselves everyone else looks out for self we must do the same. sure there are cases where blacks do not get the same funding opportunities, however i think that there are many ways to get around that as was mentioned. Some of us feel that it is more important for us to make money now and not think about the future of our children and their children, who would really benefit from owning a business vs having the lastest tennis shoes, some of these people sacrifice so that their future will be brighter for them and their kids. but i hate stores that do not do refunds or exchanges, i simply don't shop there. and i get tired of getting my nails done and not knowing if the owners are cursing or laughing at me right in my presence . It seems some of us want to get as far away from the black community as possible and assimilate thinking it will make life better, but it is better to suffer now so that life can be better for our kids, that is what the Asians, etc. are doing. I am not mad at them for sticking together, i wish blacks would do the same, but that's a whole nother Ricky Lake
