There are stories about these Black
Business men and women, some of whom from Africa who got involved in community
development and when the attention was given to them, they absconded after
receiving the deals and other enhances. There are cares of African Americans in
Business, not just in business in U.S but elsewhere such as the Caribbean and
as soon as the business went awry these people packed and left. There is a
well-known history of the fracas between Marcus Garvey and W.E.B DuBois
concerning the investment of African American churches and some people with
money and a result of the competition between Garvey and DuBois, the rubber
plantation investment in Liberia became a total disaster. It is now known or at
least suggested that Dubois may have had a hand in Garvey’s disastrous
business enterprises although there were others working for the then FBI under
Edgar Hoover, some of whom engineered the downing of Marcus Garvey and some of
whom did not respond to his captivity in Switzerland or thereabout and in the
end, Black Investors lost a large portion of their business.
1850 may be considered the
beginning of large scale coffee production in Liberia. It was also the
beginning of African America enterprising with Africa. A century later most
business began by African Americans will be completely anathema. The Coffee
production like the Rubber that came later experienced the business cycles; its
boom and bust, then a reset like other markets. Liberia business may have
reached a reasonable permeable point with Harvey Firestone rubber plantation, but
it was destined to bad fate of conjurers of business exploitations from Asia;
Indonesia, Korea, Philippines, Taiwan and to some extent proctors from China
who proved more resolute and organized. It suffered additional setback from the
competition from Brazil, bedeviled in plier by the Lord Lugard’s report after
Mordechai Johnson’s investigation and NAACP foreign policy mediation; Johnson-Christy
Commission, by the misanthropy of W.E.B Dubois in which he unfailingly sabotaged
Marcus Garvey’s Black Star Line. With the coming of imperialist rule to Africa,
African Americans where no way capable of dealing with international politics on
a large scale, that much interest regarding African American business in US and
in Africa came to a grinding halt largely on reports of abuse and
indoctrination suffered in these area, a problem that was also common in South
America. But these connections were effectively severed. Could the breakdown have been blamed on the colonist
ideology of the 19th century, for this dry weather between Africa and Africa
American blacks, or was it an outcome of newer opportunities in America insured
by the quota system adopted by FDR as a sea admiral. Here the chain of
businesses established with interest by pioneer business opportunist faced by
the more competent issues of non-for profit and charity. With the idea of
generating profit for Black Entrepreneurs and Freed men and women of the
Baptist and Quaker Christian churches in US rising to new realities, they were
no longer at ease with minimum investment, there will looking to better their
investment position which created the impasse of politics between the tribes,
that there has always been the issue of embarking on a journey to Africa for
business and for land acquisition, the story about their survival is well
documented but with advent of oversea business in Africa in very recent times
by Africans of diaspora, there was a large swell of emphasis on production and
manual labor, which and without which, money and banking is not stable.
Elsewhere
There will be Paul Cuffee, Orlando
Equiano, Martin Delany, and others, but Rodriguez leads Wall Street to New York
and in extensor, US, in particular New York Wall Street where of Blacks in Wall
Street for history sake mirrors the idea of one Wolf among lions, or one black
mane among the White Bears, the many will drown you and will win out.
Carl R. Osthaus ‘Freedman,
Philanthropy and Fraud’,…The freedman Bank (re-write) listed the Bank had its
headquarters in New York and eventually Washington D.C and then other branches
such as those in Louisville, Richmond, Nashville, Wilmington, N.C., Huntsville,
Memphis, and the proceeded to other places such as Mobile and Vicksburg. It is
common history that the end of the 1866 and the 14 branches had opened and had
a repository of $199, 283.43. And then by 1871, the Bank has opened 34
branches. The initial deposits from New York rolled a total of $700.00
initially and carrying from other banks $7, 956.37 and by 1874 it accounted for
$57 million. These numbers are also discovered elsewhere. Even if add the
reaction of Reginald Washington research on his ‘Federal Records and African
History’ (Summer 1997. Vol.29, n0.2), “The act had a clear objective and
purpose; a single savings institution created primarily for former slaves and
their descendants. The deposits received by the bank...with the exception of a
final set aside for operating costs and other emergencies...were to be invested
in “Stocks, Bonds, Treasury notes, or other Securities of the United States.”
The Charter suggested that “no loans would be made” and that “all the assets of
the Bank were owned by depositors in proportion to the deposits of each.”’
These point appear in Carl R. Osthaus ‘Freedman, Philanthropy and Fraud’ and
Osthaus placed emphasis on the point of the Bonds and Securities, suggesting
that it was given the right to invest the depositors money but not to
loan it may mean that the ‘Freedman savings and Trust’ was not a Bank but a
company. And the maintained that ”Contrary to what many investors where
led to believe, the Bank’s Assets were not protected by the Federal Government”
but they had branches in Vicksburg, Richmond, Charleston, Savannah, New
Orleans, and Houston.

That they used advertisement bearing
Abraham Lincoln and Senator Oliver Otis Howard, leading the depositors to
believe that their money deposits in the Company – which they took for a Bank
were backed the Federal Government. This we can understand was not true at all,
for sure, the experts including the founders and bureau that managed it by
names J.W Alvords and Company would have known that Banks in the United were
backed at some level by Federal Government, especially when these Banks also
issued Insurance. Historically, this continued till the 1930’s of the FDRs and
the slitting of Insurance from Bank operation associated with Glass-Steagall
Act.
Black Wall Street such as
Greenwood, Tulsa, Oklahoma (2) Jackson Ward Virginia, (3) Parish Street, Durham,
North America…. The place where business thrives the most for black should
include Baltimore Maryland, although the misplaced opportunity in Baltimore has
left the City still in the hands of rich whites, but the attitude of European
Americans to others and African Americans is higher pedestal than most places,
but the economic ties is long severed and against the generosity of the state
Maryland, new émigré into Baltimore are shifting the landscape from the center
which is very bad. Baltimore has one of more effective black communities and
one of the most intelligent, it also has one of the largest concentration of
generally uneducated or badly educated African Americans. Black and Indian is
Big deal in Baltimore and their patient wears thin for anything other their
kind who is seeking to crack into the system. System is corrupted but the
history of Baltimore and beginning of Civil Right makes it a social sensitive
environment but there is real estate to look at. Unlike Durham which has a
Black Wall Street now at parity with its past, or Tulsa that is no longer
available, or Jackson Ward Virginia, most Africans with little to spare find
their presence in Maryland congenially acceptable. Business in Baltimore may be
slow but real estate is rewarding. What the town lack is what Atlanta is seeking
to make up, which is the growth of any economy and how well the economy can
function under these circumstances.
What these explains is the
necessity of rating African American mayors of US through a process I think
should involve judicial City management and the transforming prospects of Black
communities who are bedeviled with unemployment, welfare and shelter crisis.
Foxx sifted through bi-lingual challenge that erodes with vision one language
and saw the influx of the Mexicans and other blacks respectfully orchestrated
with even a tendency for their increased population number in Charlotte. We
come close to the fact that a Neo Conservative like Foxx has both a necessity
and a new mandate, but the problems of emphasizing African American community and
others minorities need to respect or toe the line of reasoning. We draw from
this, that communities where African American are at least 30% of the
population and in places where they are 50% such as Washington D.C and
Baltimore, and to some degree Detroit and Atlanta, emphasis on the
transformation of City’s poor and reduction of Welfare dependency especially in
adult category, and the enthusiasm that perpetuate black leaders towards
excellence is the chief determinative for a Black Mayor’s success. It is
imperative that such is the case, for sure it has not being the first second
and perhaps the nth time that attempts at creating a rational basis for some of insufferable assumptions on Blacks, or paper margins of people of color, or the
virtual and enhanced redemptive endowment and relief towards a realized better
living conditions for African Americans. A consistent studies on what could
have spilled on the cake for a better America are the issues of identity as I
have opened up, the problems of discontinuity or successive failure to
perpetuate a change which is has to the first issue bedeviled in kind by
inter-marriage and the social status that means and authors a cadre of loading
upper rungs. It is here that a special emphasis on what accounts for these new
changes and perpetuity. Should the discharge of most Blacks towards for
instance Civil Rights as we have had it in the 50’s and 60’s still remain the
format for addressing African American problems? Or should the struggle – if
there is any such war – continue to promote itself on the confines of academic
exercises and political representation such as the Black Caucus and the few or
the many Africa Americans who are now appointed into sensitive offices
including political appointment and elections, producing Mayors and Governors,
Senators and even the most sensitive office – the head of states. This possible
induction of material benefit of the 60’s is not transferable to the Black
progress without a collective measure to exercise the best laid option towards
ending specific interest areas of American lives. I take it that Welfare is
both good and bad, necessarily a problem given the weight of responsibility
that Government is required to bear from the shoulders of very active and
healthy working class African Americans. But there are not the only ones, for
if we look at the real blanket problems of Welfare and social services, these
presumed active threshold of the Country are not benefiting from Welfare. Out
of the 100 list of Welfare based organizations and interest groups in the
United States, only a striking few, very regimented and very few are owned and
managed by minorities or in direct sense, African Americans. Out of every
dollar sent out by the Senate including the so –called omnibuses which allows
for instance Obama and his compeers to measure its creative use and employ,
only 0.08 cents of every allocated dollar towards meeting the least problems in
African Americans communities actually reach them. There is no body who knew
this fact any better than President Obama and his wife, Michelle, both employed
in Law Chambers with effective access to Welfare and community organization.
Chicago is not free from the problems of exploitation given the many years that
has employed useful membership of the Black community towards dispersion and
end-use of the least allocation of Welfare. If one is looking to even look at
this problem effectively, he or she needs to try its time in Baltimore
Maryland, that no City in the Country is so exploited with élan that the
efforts of the Mayor of any race, especially African American can effectively
reverse the problems saving the direct assistance of the State and the Nation.
But like Detroit,
But the 1950’s U.S Supreme Court
struck down Jim Crow, many U.S Cities picked up its demographic and this period
more than the 20’s gave serious impetus to the Urban to City migration. The
very rapid nature of this migration gave birth to problems of allocation. The
first mistakes that Americans did and particularly Whites were to isolate every
other person from main stream business and ensured this choice through the
election process. By isolating these migrants from main stream politics and
from main stream business, many of the largest growing business Cities in the
United States
The Mayors are to be well rated
according to their performance and their respective business environment, for
instance a head to head comparison between Stephanie Blake of Baltimore and Ivy
Taylor of San Antonio leads as much answers and they many questions. A compere
between these two African American women suggest a sparing of impersonal
investigative survey, that Mrs. Stephanie Blake-Rawlings is not much an
administrators as she could be called a business woman. But the difficulty her
administration experiences with very rich blacks of Maryland and Baltimore
create is complicated by her failure to actually transform even the least
Welfare cases in Baltimore. She is a 2 of 5 stars U.S Mayor, possibly lower, but
has a three star for the emasculation of large populated Baltimore by the State
of Maryland. Sheila the former mayor may have started some revolution and
procured a vision for Baltimore, and was easily a three star with a motivation
to the pedestal of four stars but was sabotaged by people working for attorney
general of the City which was Stephanie Blake. Ivy Taylor currently Mayor of San Antonio, is
still trying out her hands as a leader when the best of us where no longer in
San Antonio. But black businesses in San Antonio were also nowhere and lacked
visibility saving for a certain category more loyal to Spanish roots than
Native American and African Americans.
The extreme poverty of black
leadership in San Antonio feels that she could not have been in a position to
help as a deputy Mayor and whether she considers herself part of the African
American Community is an answer that time can explicate. She is from experience
two star mayor, at least able to maintain her course as Mayor – which is the
total and ultimate good, how she transforms lives, especially the very bad
conditions of black businesses is the chief challenge. She is most likely a
different kind of Neo Conservative Black. Svante Myrick of Ithaca, N.Y are too
young in their post to have us exercise judgment but seem to have generated
enough buzz on responsible than Byron W. Brown of Albany. Albany at least for
many years has been the deep ends of violence and poor economic strategy, and
it’s not without the presence of African Americans in large numbers. But Cory
A. Booker of Newark New Jersey do not rank with Anthony Foxx, former mayor of
Charlotte from experience, the fact of Charlotte being more fertile for black
business than even Baltimore is an idea that came through the City planners. It
was an educated product of vision and transparency that allowed business from
both White and Blacks to transform the City landscape. Perhaps the mayor before
Anthony Foxx paved the way, but the management style of Charlotte until his
federal position pushes him to a 3.5 star.
(II)
What is the definition of Black
Business one might ask, and here we take a second look at the operational
dynamics of African American business men and women in many works of life and
determine that a Black business is any business began first and foremost by
African Americans and their relative kind, maintained with the purest intent at
profit; either in concert with African American or without them – solely for
interest of generating highest possible dividend for those who harbor implicit
faith in such an enterprise, thirdly, that it was invested with direct see of a
peculiar neighborhoods with majority of the crème of employment entirely if not
particularly devoted to black employees. Of course the idea that wins the rest
of us, including Rainbow Coalition, Pan Africanist, Black Arcana, Arcata
Africana, Black fraternities and Sororities is one ultimately philosophy ‘total
good for the total community beginning and ending with our kind’.
Of course the total good
encompasses the actor of charity and charity in power, which from the total
good from the general neo-cons who are replacing themselves from the corridor
of Black Conservative, whose livid crime is not exactly economical, but
potentially economical for other reasons have founded out of their Black
existence but ended up in the mantle with the least concerned proboscis about
the death and dying in some special neighborhood. Some might ask, what is the
example of Black Conservative business enterprise and how does Neo-Conservative
Black of proper and legitimate meaning from both Democratic and Republican
bandwidth compare and retract? An example of this Black conservative with
breadth (living core of the existence being of traditional blacks) and width
being of the consumer lines with emphasis on Blacks, look into their
franchising and business operation, end games up employing a large retinue of
even the least approbation of all classes of workers and employment to be far
removed from their kind. One of which is our good and proficient business inductee
of Basket Hall of famers; Michael Jordan, employee roughly 70% of his payroll
of others who never bought a single pair of his overpriced sneakers through his
embellished career and after… Another example is the wunderkind of hip-hop,
classified as a mogul and one of the richest in the direct and equal prolix of
business by talent showing in the names of P. Diddy and Sean John to be
original has the same problem. His answering machines, lace of working
engineers, his lobby technicians, his factories curve, his direct assistance
and personnel of meaning has nothing in showing and in kind common to Sean.
What a pity that mainly a stock of special and primitive type in Brooklyn and
in Bronx where among the first to identity and patronize his brands. What is the
motivation here? It is extreme of conversion that reasons from other acts other
that street psychology of some of these African Americans and some with weak
and fetish embracing of a past with no meaning who end looking down on these
truly exceptional materials. In reaction to a past that seem to protect they
decide to find comfort in the heads, shoulders and arms of those who take at
least half as serious. But it is not these candidly and known generous Black
titans that are victims of business emollient train.
There is the Oprah Winfrey whose
anger easily festoons on any remote hints of infamy with her kind, yet cannot
boast of anymore African Americans within her ranks than nearly others who
would not even hire her let alone her type. These are proactive Americans, some
of whom are trail blazers in their field and would have allowed the age to eat
them up had they for a minute shifted in their personal and total commitment to
brand and quality. It is however an emollition train given the tendency to fret
and deliver without a prospect for longevity, as if all business such as those
enacted and pronounced by Thomas Curtis (50 Cents) only graduate from local to
Pepsi brand. Thomas Curtis, Earvin Magic Johnson, Ving Rhimes, and to smaller
extent Oprah Winfrey but higher pecking order Michelle Obama, may be considered
consummate Black Neo Cons, the first two and very last are leading eagles in
the green cadre adding perhaps Steve Harvey and Tyler Perry. This may appeal directly to business and the
structure of running international or local brand names, such like those of
Sean John and Thomas Curtis that are popular in US and UK, are sold with
effective returns in South Africa, Brazil and Nigeria. There are other groups
from mainly political and academic framework. These should include Henry Louis
Gates Jr., Louis Farrakhan, Al Sharpton and the leadership members of the
NAACP. The problem is how well we can integrate these groups of morality based
leadership and attempts at presenting several ways of looking at the African
Americans to the very idea than transcend the virtues of moral lectures to
something more pro-activist through the lines of Cornell West who is not the
most leading or the more structure based model of African Americans society in
the 2000’s. J.E.K Walker should belong in this category largely for her
editorial process leading to the Encyclopedia of Black Businesses. These
engines of transformations do not meet or exceed the expectations for Black Neo
Conservative, for at least in limelight of the actions of Louis Farrakhan and
perhaps Henry Gates, there is a conservative attempt – if not ultra-right
attempt reproduce African Americans of their charisma. The charismatic clarity
of top business men in African American encyclical, who like the ancestors
Madam Walker and George Schuler, directly trained, employed and fired African
Americans more than even John and Johnson products or the latter pro-African
American markets as with Ebony Magazine, put an argument that as much as these
groups of intellectual based leaders of the society are concerned, passing on
the legacy of men such as Andrea Brimmer at the Federal Reserve, whose
competency in the reign of Arthur Burns as Fed Chairman and Richard Nixon as
president is under studied. But like the many examples of the grace which prove
of character afforded greats such as Michael Jordan or lateral opponent Charles
Barkley, see these individuals are slightly over cast of the basic demands and
expectations in riding and keeping African American business. Of course, Madam
Walker is a rigid example in over-all American business idea and franchising, a
pacesetter of her own right in narrating the explosive interest and profit in
patronizing African American business, loosely based on well-studied introspection
of what blacks and their market needs and seeking means and ways to bring their
final product to the market. These triumphs which spear headed the latter day
conglomerates such Walmart and Duane Reade, was in the time of Walker financed
and terribly organized by African American banks. But there were others, and
there were other foundations and banks,
In the past, Pepsi has had their
own share of problems with these African Americans regarding employment and
employment opportunity and took long swaps independent and collective efforts
to transform the enigma that was Pepsi from Pepsin produced first in North
Carolina, to a company that marginally employed Blacks. Look to permit that all
the franchises that encapsulate 50 cents covering all brands (more than 19)
including energy products that he is one of the pioneers in its delivery rate
still retain a handsome number of Blacks. It is also from Curtis – in spite of
his past – that may have toed the lines of Joe Louis that was one of the
earliest Black business partnership with Pepsi, torching in this case, the new
and well-found assortment of fruit and crème soda variety emulated by Shaquille
O’Neal who is nearer to public access than Kobe Bryant that is virtually
inaccessible. Likeability is not an endeavor’s keep but from the tasting for
new materials that attempts to torpedo other brands in his meaning including
its promotional ability, the not-so easily likeable but total effeminate with
public, Funk Flex, failed, resurrected and bolstering experiment through Ford
do not meet and qualify as entrepreneur but showers excessive meaning on how
well and to what extent can the general public ameliorate a star torching on
his product and the identity. He is a Neo-Conservative, majority of his working
crew are comprised of several types, his automation for throw-back music is not
betrayed by his choice of employees including or excluding those that toe his
lines of taste, but all the same, he is patronized for the good and qualitative
adhoniem and his volubility are no article of dissent. It is the beginning and
not the end to argue from the lines on where to place the Timothy of Black
music industries, timothy as opposed to peter, for a fact that Russell Simon
addresses to new and familiar groups, that he is in Latin what he is America,
and so on to the viable competent extent, that he is conspicuous messenger of
the Hip-hop community and in his raconteur of the left and right of the
conflicts, battles, and fathom of despairing that attempt to bar the ways of
many young upstarts, he fades in his failure to mingle to the least accessible
level with a more pronounced Magic Johnson and his Magic Theatre. A consummate
neo-conservative Black, Magic Johnson is not an American heroes though by peril
has more than placed his ink in the dubitable accounting of business life in
America, from basketball snake pit, to the hall of famers, to dodge ball of
CEO, now a managing partner of LL Lakers and yet a pioneer of no small measure
in employing for total good of the community, African American at least in
verity. In plausible that some persons of his meager do suffer from either a
color-strike defined by the potentiality to co-op with his types, or in vise
ridden tendency, place a formal and psychological compromise with others of
similar taste but from a separate boulevard willing and able to work with such
a oneiric. Such oneiric may include the amphibian psychology types such as J Z,
and the rotary of pigeon psychology types in his Roc-a-feller music rotunda,
yet his shown the mantra for dealing with unfamiliar others. He is not so
lucky, since every now and then some overt commissure accessing shortage in
talent delivery begin to pick their nose on what fence he belongs. Such
dividing lines are generally thinner with Beyoncé she is perhaps a lac than
lilac, yet from imposed self-didactic she is an instrument for her more
appealingly crowd. They are not far from others; the others are not far from
these. For if we take into account some elders whose years in show business is
long celebrated, Bill Cosby for philanthropy and another renown of Global
meteoric, Eddie Murphy, these engines of new entertainment are no new comers
but are toeing a line that make them seem entirely a star so from the earthly
mien. It is barometer of economic and academic process that permit the old, the
young and the desiring from ensuring that as long it leaves it clear that there
is such a thing as business and such a thing as America which has a history,
their past, present and future are intertwined that a collective idea of only
shortest pieces of change is more powerful than the greatest efforts enacted by
single or collective few others. In here, from all composition of identity
which is still evident, these men and women mentioned, such as Mary J. Blige,
do not suffer from hints of misanthropy since their ultimate enduring panacea
is total possible wealth through final products that deals with challenges. For
if we care to place entertain as a chief product in this case, Sport and Television
Personal in the purview of American neo-conservative Blacks, we would have made
a mistake. In terms of the man who feeder the country, it may presume that
spirit of exclusive demonstration of one’s prolix or conversion of prolix
indignation to material use did not fetch or avoid him. Going at the rate at
which he has more than any President dogged all the crime littoral in
Washington D.C, whose extensive cloves for kingpins are only realized of late
to Detroit that was left dying for the uncounted Blacks who by the 50’s voting
became part and parcel of Detroit, leading to suffering from civil and civilian
abandon. Obama as a neo-conservative is a chalk in the teeth, but with it is
the arithmetic of the requisite surgical procedure that must put a lasting
plaster of what neo-conservative black should look like. Perhaps the attempt to
look at composition of some of the parties that gave wings to his officialdom
do include many of his types but whooping number of the hands that enabled his
rising to office where from somewhere else. This proof of discipline is the two
and probably extended particularly of what any component or tried hands of
neo-black could look represent that it measures its definition from the legs
and hands that embrace its participation and what some of us who are young and
may be so, may consider a direct and final meaning of these true black. No
phantoms no despair, no freight, for some say ‘they serve all they triumph all’
leads two camp of self-devotions from the ashes of the past, it mirrors a
comfort that do serves it meaning but meaning meeting to others. These Black
Knights has no parity with this kind, among them however are engines of their
past, some f of whom by name and by certiorari are both front and backing to
the meaning of the word black. No measure no standard too high, leaves us with
another theme that looks into America and no only that, into the larger mirror
of the world. It is here the veritable standards which are propped by the
histories of these United States, in fact trying to understand the role that it
plays and the chief meaning of the some varied experience of his community of
sojourner’s compels a new and forward meaning a neo-conservative. Perhaps they are
neo-conservation from Latin and from Europe as where precisely speaking blacks
find themselves far from their watering holes and their families, for here, in
these distant lands, what makes investment possible and what makes the culture
representative viable in business dedicated to these Americans is equally
rewarding in terms of business. Once, a man has argued that he is Latin
American but wondered why there is no single black in the whole crow of TV
episodes and the why they lack the most in compere estimate of the business
opportunities in South American and in US. In pliable theme of the composite
that enables an audience attentive, it moves to answer that these people do no
amount to much, at least are considered, part or central to some milieu that
observer happiness from his own calendar. It is only in the foray of others
that attempt to see from wanting the need to be equally represented. In all,
shooting for instance black and mainly black is a racial glossary or glue. But
infinite definitions of good and solely good, usually proceed from an observe
whose idea of a hero and a villain is from his psychology of pedantic and his
philosophical vise of ultimate ‘self-preservation’ only the seed of the heroic,
the enduring, the sympathetic, the shepherd, the mother, and so on is
embellished from the livid core of his or her own. It is how we see ourselves in
the long and tedious culture of representation and chain of positive influences
and continua, that a form of unnerving and unyielding shows its lamp in the
canopy of kinds. What and how a films with a ‘Pithoris’ (murdering a beloved
with many bullets in names of rogue entrance and false break in) can a kind
assume the end to be averse to his or her own sole. In this opening and
reconnoiters view of the lame expectation of coloration or discoloration in
business is from the apses of confidence built from themes and other emotional
apses of cultural and mental representation where one is the tail of the other
ending. Assume that we shoot for instance Black in another kind and in another
world, for other emerging from a different stroke of another world would only
incline his or her judgment derived from seeing any of these images even in all
secondary and primary translation, that these images are blacks. Put it
elegantly, the culture of representation and meritocracy of amelioration is a
self-indulging capacitance that recreates images as according to kinds. For if
see American as remotely dissent over the boundary of types, it is not because
of the racial intricacies or discernably of the colors and types, it is from
the engines of self-imaging no less in wealth no less in person no less in
ideas. Race is a passport that bad for
traveling in the United States, but a man’s fowler fortune do not prepend to
the moral dictates of others, for when we dismember the normative caricature of
general theories which presumes all good to have begun and ended with a lone
star or lone kind, we are fruitfully misleading the vultures that await the
tarnish and descriptive flesh of the souls long suppressed. Imagine that for
African American business that there is such a thing as profit, which is the
ultimate wish of all asunder and all
system dynamic, but the lacing of these profit line is a mirage obviated
from those who patronize it the more, we notice that we are no longer important
in the party and assembly line we started. If these were not to mean profiling
or racial reconnoiter it leads to some assumption about the poverty of Blacks
in a culture that is also equally theirs. In common theory of rich and affluent
which in money language is different from Wealth and Foundation, these skirmish
and surged item no longer appeal, what works is money, from any source and from
any means, and here, nearly every group of the Americans can pick and choose
who they want sole and if not largely from the fronting of talent rather the
coverts exploitations of a repressed market value who will be happy to Uncle
Samuel Jackson in hit and run movies, where he had starred in over 120 movies
along with ….but of these two including the Will Smith could be said to have
actively taken Black film production seriously. Tyler Perry – another
definition of neo-conservative makes pictures that would be taken seriously
where other filmographic among the elderly blacks to mention Eddie Murphy and
his ‘Coming to America’ is viewed side by side with any Perry’s. Perry has
matured, but his antic needed a second coming, his mien in television is large
discipline but in quality of material available in total America he is a new
comer, he has tapped into the main vents of Americans fiber, he has not done
better than Step-in Fetch in, all laughable parable of a past that will not
die, perhaps in company of the more successful lacking generalissimo of black
portraiture but he is just one vital and break neck maverick that is well
documented especially the mama-diya (madiya) created from a caricature in his
stunt in New York. Why he worth is so well and much in so much few years, I say
he is a neo-liberal black with surpluses miens for conservative black-hood.
This is a suppressed item given its trillions of dollars- worth only by
patronage. It is a market that is divided across meaning and time, with many
looking to finger roll of these idiots who have nothing else to offer than have
delivered to them. The total mass of all that is given divided the equal
measure of none that is given is equal to abundance of something which nothing
is more than half of nothing trying in this case.
What we are looking at is a
suppressed asset that is in fact dragging the American behind, to an extent
that patronizing Black final products of any types is not ben disloyal to the
Americans or un-Americans, it is fact part of a God-given heritage, part of the
general global demand that businesses in US with some degree of bottom-line can
vest with on any community of interest without marking distinction and without
the self-imposed restriction.
At least Film making industries are
left open to all asunder, but in all capacity saving the blighted BLACK
Entertainment Television that is mainly still Black in retention but the
possession of secondary buyer, US film industries achingly rooting for black
entrepreneurs - at least in formative level of film production without sinking
into . The cases of say Oprah Winfrey
and her chain of Television outfits, and the Tyler Perry are considered sine
qua non in US only from where Winfrey stands, for if as I argued that
production qualities of Perry based production is given the comparative light
of other production houses in US, it would have suffered reversals. But from
the fact that he is broken the ceiling suggest that his talent was far more
trying that his production until recently essentially shows. The Carton
networks where some Nigerians experimented with could not survive, because of
patronage on one hand and poor quality, that it had its ways in South Africa
and mainly implies that patronage failure of that arm of the television was not
responsible; they probably didn’t break enough ceiling as did say Tyler Perry
or enough daring as did and still do Nollywood which arrived from nowhere. What
some estimators of Film production present as a possibly reason why a film hits
and misses, is half the number from Chinese neighborhoods or China towns in US.
In fact it is said that what you need to make any films successful in New York
is a good measure all Chinese or Asians in New York only. Here is the punch
line, or a strikingly skewered few from China Town has the time and day for any
American production, but these, in true Americans spirit, would line for hours
for the latest Chinese flick with assurances from homeland China. It does not
betray the willingness to find your foot in US, but in comingled themes of
Hollywood based movies; it is largely difficult to find Asians in very key roles,
not that Jackie Chan and Jet Li and the Michele Yeoh are not picturesque but
from meaning of stardom these are known all over. Film making, like the
Television shows reflecting blacks and blacks alone or blacks mainly is a dead
rat theme on how to make money the easy way, but between price comparison and
comparative prices, the chances of anyone any industry making money is
reflected by the quality of healthy competition between the ‘lions’. When and
if one production dominates for a population within 30 million, these cannot be
measured a significant blimps in the world of film making. It may seem that
there are blacks in all classes of businesses and others in all classes of
businesses, but these are called American Television authority, does not mean we
and they are eagerly well represented, it means they and we are eager to make
and break the frontiers of American film industries by baying for
representation under the sole canopy of our fellow citizens of full or near
full estimate of having America a leader in the world with as many of us as
possible.
Even Donald Bogle books on Black films
distilled from the vistas of ‘Sweet Black’ and the Blaxploitation as they term
it, and that his discipline on Black Films ranging from the Oscar Micheaux to
Sweet Sweat back, prove its accounting on how the church and other Christian
organization gave weight of support and avenue for these kinds of movies.
Perhaps the argument that exclusion between Whites and Blacks after the turn of
the 19th and 20TH century, the intellectual photosynthesis on African American
identity took a largely active feature and the church readily proved the right
avenue for these film resources, shot and displayed by Micheaux. Interpretation of African American experience
in these films gave way to the new realities of the whole process of film
making as a primary force of entertainment in a new information age. But the
money which is devoted to meeting up to date production and commercializing and
promoting these films and other entertainment forms, and there are long term
comfort of the future economy. The
African Company and Groove Theater and the actors such as Paul Robeson gave
meaning American film industries, but like the emphasis on the profit
curve
For trying all, these Blacks and
their business are considered unknown and therefore worth something – not
nothing – just something for being in American and do nothing. The fear that
obvious tendencies towards black-well which when permutated from inks and irks
of those in frontlines of richly and artificially blacks is proof to show
course they are biased, may be reasons why these challenges privileged
discourses on black is manicured to the
realm and not without reasons that fans don’t want to hear that, yet that
reason is that fact that in the industries where these black are champions are
in keeping of some past, Machiavelli in recherché that laughter has been for
the public tap dancing displayer a perfect anecdote for obvious lives in
permeated denials. Drink from such wells of pitiable induction if you may, but
in limelight of the general and compounded games theory of progress and
economic environment and of wealth and conurbations of financial cabalism
necessary to foster total good of the total community, there is a shocking and
total disappearing of black clouds in places where according N. Cole failure of
commercializing his albums, ‘Madison was Afraid of the ‘dark’”. Such heroic
ages of Music and Entertainment had all the tall tale of these misaligned with
commercial industries, for sure, Cole and company from South evading Harlem
where no singing what the people wanted to hear. As such he was of product of
public interest and expectations which the eras of Japanese electronic keyboard
and recording studios brought down the perceptions creating more Black
entertainment entrepreneur than ever, most especial of these electronic radio
that retired bum-boxers was the birth of experimental African Music called
‘Hip-hop’ (Rap-Music). That element of opportunity was enhanced by the 80’s
computer and online bringing more variety of music to the realms of American
social life. Once more, it is not the role of any American black in business of
Latino or Hispanic who some of care less about to increase in their business by
following others, or would they go far by sticking to a type forever, or would
they do better by involving others. Frankly, these people do not anyone or
other people, the American society is
reasonably developed to accommodate and peonage embracing of one’s cultural or
exposed interest, to the degree that if Americans of our type or kind can at
least pursue the global markets as do my Jewish people or Black Jews, as does
Americans of littered European persuasions, would find themselves enormously
resources that are actually stupid which is only good idea of wealth, stupid
money, that don’t need to looking at some idiot stepin and fetchin, or afraid
to trains blacks and fire them randomly. Look, this idea is so old retarded
that blacks and these so-glue Africans and white-brown coconuts from Caribbean
should understand how much of an idiot in presence of God let alone less
tolerable humans to pretend that they can’t help themselves. Count backwards,
at least in New York, there are over 5000 banks and foundations – many of them
privately owned and managed such Investment Banks. All of these foundations and
Banks can only boast of the 10 of their types to be owned directly and
derisively by blacks. How pathetic? Should these people continue with these
ugly jests on their manhood they would not precisely go away and practically
have no say in America? In comingled participial of the functionaries under the
ambience of local politician-ship and mayoral replacement pro-temps in say a
San Antonio of Texas, or from general elected proscriptions and balloting as in
Baltimore’s Stephanie Blake, we can say these people are totally no-longer
blacks. Does not means that they are not civil rights – which what these people
are what these days, or cannot manage state planned or municipal budget, or
device means and ways pressing the buttons on decedents issues in the overall
affairs of constituency, these people may no longer be called after their kind
for they must be dreaming to have seen their responsibility spared the
contagion of public corruption by acting outside the normative proscriptions of
their offices. Look keep it real, that there is no such America without
self-representations, no such American business environment without planning
and enacting growth bound philosophies
of economic help and discipline, but to the extent that many blacks are
generally lacking in business environment outside of
In many ways than one the issue of
Red lining is a multifaceted problem that cannot be solution by any single
bullet, and from all asunder that powered the U.S Labor markets, there was
always the question of migrants from different parts of the world, particularly
of Jewish retraction. In moderate episode compared to what happened to
Chicagoan Lawndale, the fall of Detroit in our time and the struggle for the
housing and insurance and eventually the return of red-lining only mirrors the
more devastating cases of Stuyvesant Town-Cooper Village of New York which once
built with private money as they said from Metropolitan Life Insurance under
the Chairmanship of Frederick Eckers who categorically mentioned that if he
will be willing to take the slum of New York such as ‘Gas District Houses’
littered with whites and blacks, that he was going apply the strict observation
that it was only Whites who lived in these Apartments. These stories connecting
Chicago, Detroit, and New York, warrant a new investigative study on was
perhaps behind the idea of redlining and if there was something positive about
eschewing blacks from Kew Gardens Queens to have anybody other than blacks live
in the poor but transformed Austin Neighborhood and Sunnyside, and where the
logic is preserved innuendo New York high stake buildings where the owners made
it a matter of policy – to isolate one group from another and thereby
heightening the tension surrounding the neighborhood and hence preserving that
sense of belonging needed to live in one place.
It may seem that being around
people of similar types, whose manners are mainly as likely similar and their
drifts in culture is as much preserving as the culture of neighborhoods and
real estate engineered according to money types. Perhaps the question is not so much the
animus behind the birds of the same flocking together as to human twins who are
not interested in each and more like deep resentment that is concomitant with
similar characters living together – or with clashes of personality
irrespective of bias. Of course the
weightier subject on why for instance a horse of any color would still
connection with his kind if it looked well enough, accords the same that the
general interest of all humanity is the enduring facade of ultimate
connections. Here as we delve the mire
of deliberate efforts by landlords and my others to promote a culture at what
it seems the expense of others – particularly one – we become by stretch
students and participants of the evolution of wealth in some American
societies. If we may yet indicate that power like the male-ego mainly witness
his appearing in nearly all its concerns, and for that, must need the other is
other cast abroad the consequence of neglect and overbearing which is hind
sight is power half the apple.
