our wealth and skills as blacks will most likely determine our role in this country in the future. some of us are already on the right track, but we need to encourage our children and those coming behind us to consider careers that allow us to gain wealth and power, we need to be property owners, investors, savers vs huge spenders, dr's, lawyers, business owners, entertainers, the more money we keep in our communities the more power we will have. and we need to suppport each other whenever possible instead of always pumping our money into a system that doesn't respect us.
some possible praticals:
1.support black enterprise, eg. find a nail salon that is black owned or have a sista do your nails if she has skills (we all know we get sick of being dissed in a foriegn language to our faces)and refer others to black owned businesses.
2. mentor/tutor a black child, help them build dreams.
3. stay active in our organizations as we do many community projects and donate monies every year to help our people reach their potential.
