Not surprising at all. My husband (who is an immigrant) and I always talk about this crisis in the AA community. The issue is not really just unemployment and paying more for property. I wonder how many Black parents have made their children read the book called “The Millionaire Next Door.”?? We have billions of dollars in buying power yet we are not building and sustaining wealth for future generations?
Humm sounds like a people who don’t know what do with the money we have. Money is to be saved and invested. And only spent when absolutely necessary. We keep crying for white people to employ us when they cannot even employ their own people. We need to learn how to create jobs for ourselves. We also need to live together more often than not. I know so many people in my own family and in many other black families that will struggle for a LIFETIME separate rather than move in together. Im not saying to let lazy irresponsible people sleep on your couch for years but we have got to start learning how to cut costs for ourselves. Immigrants will pass the same car around a small community for years. The car will already be paid for there is no car note and therefore everyone can save. Immigrants come here and live together and open business where they dont even have to speak ENGLISH to live comfortably in this country.
We need to be taking notes on their behavior. They learned really quick that they play “American” but they have a very strong nation within a nation that serves their interests and keeps dollars circulating their own community and keeps their people employed and able to go to school and build wealth.
This is really a monstrosity. Black people have too much money for this nonsense. We have too much creativity and too much history of perseverance for this. I hope we wake up in time to save the future-future generations.
