(31,828 posts)Never - many in the black community - myself included consider it to be filled with hatred towards white people. They want to be angry and scream but they thrive off of anger. They don't make money in an equal access to opportunity society. And - I would never look to them for anything. I'm just as high up the black America food chain as most of its writers -yet how many of them gave $20K to the UNCF as I did last year?
Just because folks like Corney and Jesse Jackson say 'it had to be this way' doesn't mean that is going to hold true with the younger generation. Corey Booker - home state hero would never go for something as stupid as a cash handout. Something that would benefit more than just black folks? Yep.
Imagine a young couple taking those tax breaks and single payer insurance additional monies - starting a business in the black community, employing in and serving in?
That's the way forward.
