I wrote this on IG recently ... I know here, I'm preaching to the choir ... I'm sure we all get frustrated sometimes (Fred Hampton Jr calls it Battle Fatigue - gotta keep up regardless) ...

It all boils down to getting on code .. it doesn't even have to be all of us ... If George Floyd taught us anything to be reiterated, we are the movers of culture (all those "allies" , wouldn't have moved that way if we didn't move like we did --- I be proud of us when we "coding" like that) ....

"Sitting on $1 trillion+ in spending "potential" power, but we give 99.9% of it away ...

We get mad abt money spent abroad on Ukraine, etc / not spent at home, but we doing the SAME thing to ourselves spending outside our community ... I know we think those other groups like us like that, but they just use us (a resource to be exploited) to enrich their own community ...

Asians got to where they are by doing business with their own , and "Jewish" ppl tell their kin it's an OBLIGATION to buy Jewish .. Ppl doing business with their own, they just don't tell you ...

So, where is our sense of responsibility? Where is our race loyalty, and where is our discipline?

Yes, this is a race - we eventually gonna lose if we don't get with the program and unify ... If you not down, I get it ... There's other ways to support .. we all gotta work this angle some type of way though ...

Know your role in the struggle ... Small or large , we not free until we all free ..

Police Brutality - we might not be able to solve so easily... but some of this, I'm like, "what are we really doing?!"

A tactic of White Illusion is to keep you destabilized, satiated by ineffectual bs ie. diaspora wars and sports ... they constantly throw stumbling blocks, constant harassment and murders by the police, meanwhile they strategizing ... It's all part of their destabilization plan ...

Do we want to be stuck on the bottom, being disrespected constantly because they know we have no #economicbase ? Sorry to say, but some of us trip on .50c /$10more , but spend $50 on junk, McDonalds, etc ...

They making money off you and divert funds to their community.. You are economic fodder for them! ...

...They fear black unity (Judas and the Black Messiah - think it's an old concept? Nah Champ ... Cointelpro/destabilization tactics still alive today) .. that should tell you all you need to know!

Our resolution, do better in 2024! Economic Unity!! ✊🏾 ❤️🖤💚"

Well said. Even the poorest amongst us can do something. Even if we buy from Amazon, what Black vendors are we supporting? The same thing applies to Walmart because many small towns only really have a Walmart as a department store. I know many have a dollar store or two. What Black products are we buying from these places? What Black gas stations do we support when we travel? Black hotels we like? What are we supporting regarding hair care products? It is easier and easier to buy products made by our people since we are making things that solve our unique hair challenges. I love seeing us creating more food and beverage options. Now if we can have more efficient ways to distribute them via our own stores and distribution network while having constant Black supporters. We would easily win. Then, we need more positive Black media and ways to hurt those who hurt us.

    I know a lot of people don't wanna be under a white name or business either which is what sets them back but if you are using some white-owned space to get a leg up, do what you gotta do. I know a lot of black businesses started off by working for white folks to get their feet wet and learn the trade and then later branched out. Someone my dad knows did this with dog training and now he runs his own business. He learned everything from a white man, took what worked and incorporated his own thing and now he is more successful.

    We need to branch out from stuff we know works on a smaller scale and imagine larger scale businesses.

    I want to see more black business leaders this year!
