We are ReDefining what it means to be Wealthy at The Black Bar. Or at least what it means to be BLACK and Wealthy! As you've been previously informed, This Thing of Ours is Not for Everybody...
G.O.D "Black Excellence is a Natural Resource" Gold. Oil. Diamonds.
(Not necessarily National, but Cultural. Meaning: a Community of people Sharing and Practicing a Tradition of the Same Interest)
No amount of money given to Black people will fix racism. If Blacks were given a Trillion dollars tomorrow. Somewhere Sunday morning there will be a Racist Pastor delivering a racist sermon about blacks and how we did not do anything to deserve those Trillion of dollars given to us.
Or if we earned a Trillion dollars, there will be a racist liquor company saying they don't want our black lips on the bottles and to keep our money cause they don't need it...
You see how Culture, a community of people, big or small, sharing and practicing(agreeing on) a tradition of the same interest, can turn what looks like a win into a lost If your culture amongst YOUR community is not equally as strong. Sure we can say/do, "Make our own liquor company" we got the money to do so now. That will fix the "Liquor " problem, but that Won't fix the Racism Problem. Only a Culture can do that!!!
