Black Businesses are Important
When I was a teenager I saw the Spike Lee movie “Mo’ Better Blues.” There is a scene in the film where the characters played by Wesley Snipes and Denzel Washington are arguing about the lack of financial support they receive from people in the black community. Even as a kid the topic resonated with me in a very deep way. During the 80′s and 90′s I grew up in a poor black neighborhood called Shaw in Washington D.C. There was a store at the end of my block called Steve’s Market. Steve’s Market was a small black owned convenience store. I believe the store is still there but it is no longer black owned.
I was lucky. I actually had an opportunity, although for a short period of time, to live in a black community and witness black business owners being entrepreneurs. That reality sticks with me until this day. Times have changed. I live in Columbus Ohio now and there are few black businesses nearby. There are none in walking distance. Today I choose to spend my money in the online black community. I have a favorite’s folder in my web browser dedicated to online black owned businesses. I suggest that you do the same. When this holiday season comes around it would be easy for you to spend all, and I mean all, of your gift money with black owned businesses. You can spend online with sites like Blackbuying.com or Blackbuy.com. These are different sites but both are black owned and operated.
At Blackbuying.com there is a section which allows you to see black businesses in your state. More importantly, there is a great section which has information about creating your own online business. How else are we going to improve our community circumstances? We must create businesses and support those businesses. Check out Blackbuying.com for great products and services. Make it a habit to spend in the black community. It has been said that you only have to do something seven times to turn it into a habit. If you can’t find a way to spend your money in the black community seven times in the next 365 days then…..

Can Africans and African-Americans get along?
The Beef within the Black Diaspora. Why is there so much tension between our groups? Is it the language barrier? A cultural barrier? A separation caused by Africa’s overall bad image? Or could it be a combination of all these reasons?
When questioned, everyone has a different answer: the African, who is shy because of his accent, may create a sense of “standoffish” behavior perceived by his American counterparts.
The nightmarish experiences from African braiding salons do not help either.

African American Employment
Employment opportunities for low skilled labor have fallen in the past 40 years. A lot of people consider that the huge immigration during this span is responsible for this. But there is no real evidence on which you can consider immigration, as the root cause of the problem.
