You can't pass a "good job" down to your offspring.

Life insurance is for dying. Investments are for living. The two should never be combined. Life insurance is only needed until you have created an estate large enough to where the life insurance can be cancelled.

Time is wealth.

"...lack of communication between the African american consumer and business owner stimulates foreign business."

A people without a vision will perish.

I still regret that during the 1955 Montgomery bus boycott, our people didn't understand that after 381 days of creating an alternative bus service...we did not need to return back to their buses that were losing money. We should have continued on with the maintenance of our own bus system. This is a slave mentality of supporting and working for others versus ourselves in the African American community.

American corporations want American citizens to buy their products that they produce overseas, which is inconsistent with the laws of reciprocity, but very consistent with the goals of capitalism and imperialism which expouse exploitation at any cost.

The fallacy is in comparing immigrants to slaves...You don't compare someone's whose culture is intact, people who possess strong self-esteem which can lead to a strong entrepreneurial spirit, to a people whose culture has been denied them.

One of the first things foreigners seem to do, besides knowing the needed product line to be successful in the African American community, is own the building in which they operate.
