By finding a unifying principle that is the product of critical assessment and higher level thinking and planning we can change the landscape of generations to come. Today we are planting seeds that will blossom in full revolution for the liberated minds of Black people.

What are your views on the shape that America is in, such as economics, black-owned businesses, racism & etc.?

America is as it was designed for, for the preservation of white supremacy which is why there are preserved monoliths such as Mt. Rushmore. This country was never designed for Black people to be a part of the wealth earning percentile which is why we see so many attempts to de-stabilize the economic growth of most sectors in regards creating wealth within the Black community. Practically all Black neighborhoods are austerity where the property values are low and foreign (outside) ownership of businesses are high.

History has shown where there were self-sustained Black communities post-bellum (after the Civil War) which had wealth were literally destroyed by angry white mobs and other engines of racism white supremacy such as benign neglect. And as mentioned before, the sickness of post traumatic slave syndrome where historically Blacks have preferred to support white establishments over Black owned businesses further aided in our current economic demise. Today’s mindset for Black economic success story lies in the

belief in rugged individualism rather than an aggregation of resources which is unique only to the Black community because we see more of an understanding of group economics from other racial and ethnic units.

This country is likely headed towards and economic collapse for which will present a new set of problems within the Black community because we have lulled into sleep and only perform as reactionaries rather than becoming astute in the world of social studies where we would learn about the pitfalls of a Hurricane Katrina or the crash of 2008 where the community got a taste of austerity and martial law as well as where a dependency of a government that does not deem your population as a priority should be understood. I mean we have an exit strategy for if a building catches on fire but we do not have one if our community is dealt with a calamity.
