The dollars in my church community continually recycle. My church owns a mall which is inhabited by businesses owned completely by A.As. I used to keep my money at a B.O bank (United Bank in Phila.) The brothers in my chapter constantly refer each other and use each others services. Drs,lawyers, investment counselors, real estate agents,ob gyns, contractors, you name it. Maybe, my reality is different.

LOL. I believed you when you said it the first time.
But yes, your reality is very different from other black people's. My county is mostly black and every black mall/shopping center that has been started here has failed. I would say money was the problem but my area is FILLED with black professionals.
I want to open my business where I was raised, but I wonder who would come. I think too many black people are going to go else where because they don't trust blacks to begin with. Many of them are already convinced that a white/asian/arab business is better before they even set foot in your office.
