"How we can bring about change that is quick and much needed in today society Part II"
(3) Buy Black: I have been pushing this action since I don't know when. Again, I have nothing against the mainstream of things. However, for too long we have let The MAINSTREAM control and wreck us. This has equaled to them oppressing us. However, if we buy from each other and we continue the success of each other we can ACHIEVE anything. We can buy back our own communities, build our own stores (with our own brand), we can make the important decisions that affect us (and not someone who does not know anything about us), and just as important; we can create jobs for our community. Just look at the statistics (yes I know I said Statistics) and you will see that jobs in are few in communities were the majority of the residents are African-American.
If we buy from each other, we will have the resources to do anything we want. I read in a article that African-Americans have 1.7 Trillion dollars in spending power. With these kind of money, we could control our own lives and also have a bigger say in Mainstream America. It is unfortunate but pay attention: Euro -Americans mostly buy from Euro-Americans, Latin-Americans people mostly buy from Latin-Americans, Asian-Americans mostly buy from Asian-Americans. However, to be frankly honest we as African-Americans buy from Everyone but ourselves.
We do this not intentionally, but because of the history and past of this country we as African-Americans could not get established businesses (Afro-Americans could not own business or even get a business loan back in the day). Another factor was past major economic recessions. Anyway, today is a new day and we need to start our own small businesses. We can then buy from each other and make that small business into a huge success.
1. This creates more businesses opportunities (more options for African-Americans),
2. Create franchises (making other African-Americans businesses operators; almost like owning your own businesses),
3. Creates more jobs (meaning better economy; money doesn't buy happiness, but it does bring comfort and better opportunities), and
4. Also in return we start building incredible communities (many that can have a foundation based upon the benefits of African-American Businesses).
