We Gave Away Our Power, We Can Take It Back

A great friend of mine, has a saying, "If you can't find a job, create one." ~Treshina Johnson, owner of Zelophahad's Daughter.
The unemployment rate for blacks rose to 14.4% from 13.6% in May, the Labor Department reported Friday. That's a sharp contrast to the white unemployment rate, which stayed put at 7.4%, and the Hispanic rate, which held at 11%.This trend is not a new one, as the black unemployment rate has been roughly double that of whites since the government started tracking the figures in 1972. ~CNN

There is a system that the Asian community follows. They have established an area of profitable community in almost every major city. What some of us don't know, is that we also have had our own places of greatly established communities. Black Wall Street, is an example of what we have accomplished when we build community. We owned planes, banks, grocery stores, and so much more. Beyond that, we were able to not only create jobs for our families and friends, but also teach our children to become business owners as well.

  We as a people have the largest buying power in the United States! So, my question I ask you today is;
If we are spending more money than every other race, why isn't our money coming back to our communities?
 Are you ready to rebuild Black America?
