The subject of the show was "Radical Steps Blacks Must Take To Retard Gentrification." According to the host, gentrification is happening in Black districts nationwide since she travels nationwide. The only steps she offered were: (1) stabilize our communities and (2) hold on to our property. She started the radio show by saying gentrification only affects those without money and property. However, as Blacks are scattered, Black businesses and Black churches will not be able to financially survive, because their customers will no longer live in the area any more. Yet, no solution was offered to empower the Black American poor being scattered into white and immigrant dominated areas against their will by the Democrats they elect and by the employers and developers brought in by Democrats. "Stabilizing the community" can be interpreted as so many things that that statement is not a solution at all. "Hold on to our property" is not a solution, because remember, gentrification is harmful to impoverished Black American tenants most of all, not Blacks, who are lucky enough to have inherited their homes or a government job to buy their homes. Black leaders pay lip service to leading the Black American poor, but they have no real intent to help the Black American poor. I called in several times to offer my solutions about a national membership group to coordinate voting efforts to drive Democrats out of Black American districts being harmed by gentrification and to use membership fees to strategically create businesses to employ impoverished Black Americans, but my calls allowed me to listen, but not to comment. Self-appointed Black leaders exploit impoverished Black Americans just like any other immigrant group does. These Black leaders tend to be solidly middle-classed, homeowners and/or business owners, and their only interest in recycling Black dollars is to get poor Blacks to enrich themselves while they employ only Hispanics and Black immigrants. Any money that the Black American poor puts into Black owned businesses do not necessarily return to them in the form of employment for the Black American poor. The host tends to draw her interpretations of Black conditions based upon Christianity, not science. She interpreted Black crime as a consequence of rejecting god (i.e. the slave master's god), not as a result of poverty, which was created by majority groups' race discrimination against Black Americans in employment and higher education and as a result of Black American enslavement. There was more preaching than problem solving. Maybe it is a good thing my calls were not answered, because I don't think a Black leader, who equates Black American poverty with a rejection of god (i.e. the slave master's god) can understand anything I say based on social science. I am so disappointed with Black leadership. The Black bourgeoisie pays lip-service to the needs of the Black American poor to legitimize their exploitation of and oppression against the Black American poor. #blacks, #blackamericans, #poverty, #poor, #impoverished, #bourgeoisie, #middleclass, #buppies, #blackbourgeoisie, #blackpoor, #gentrification, #problems, #solutions, #radioshow, #talkshow, #blackleaders. less

J W These black celebs come looking for black people when it suits them. Where are their businesses in the hood? Whe re are the schools? I like how they go build in Africa, but people in your hood you claim to love need just as much help. As for Monique, ... more

Raven Wright Wow. You took the words right out of my mouth in regards to the Mo'Nique issue. When the Magic Johnson theater was built, he had a commercial with a racially mixed audience sitting in the theater, saying "keep it in the community." Yet, he ended up... more

Raven Wright On the Mo'Nique issue, I agree with WIZ. Black celebrities sever themselves from us. They don't concern themselves with "black issues," because doing so will hurt them financially. I agree with Mo'Nique that she really was offered substantially less than... more

Like whites and immigrants the African-American bourgeoisie enriches themselves from our poverty and sufferings and then, turn to us can call us lazy n-words for demanding reparations. The African-American bourgeoisie holds their individual successes as "a credit to their race." The African-American power elites are post-modern house slaves. They racially discriminate and oppress us in exactly the same ways as whites and immigrants or they are completely apathetic to our plight. As long as things are going well for the African-American bourgeoisie, they have no use for us and no value for us. We are "enslaved consumers" for whites and immigrants as well as the African-American bourgeoisie. I agree that Mo'Nique was racially discriminated. She is an Oscar-winning actress. Unless, Netflix can prove with a market research study that Mo'Nique would not bring in much money, I agree that Mo'Nique deserves millions. Am I going to do anything about it? No. Here's a question, "What is Mo'Nique or any other Black celebrity going to do for us if we boycott Netflix? We need our reparations for ongoing slavery and genocide against our population. Is she going to risk her career in order to advocate for reparations for us in exchange for our boycotting Netflix? Will other Black celebrities advocate for our reparations if we boycott against Netflix? Is all or most of Black Hollywood going to stop using the n-word accept as a social critique against racism against Black American slave descendants by both racist whites and racist blacks? I want something in exchange for boycotting Netflix. What do you all think about responding to No'Nique and the rest of the Black entertainers with some demands in exchange for our continued support? For example, if Black comedians don't stop using the n-word, we will boycott the comedy clubs, but that is a flaw most Black Americans need to work on. Perhaps if Black celebrities were openly criticizing Black entertainers, who are paid to call us n-words, the rest of the Black American population will follow their lead and stop behaving as though a Black's calling another Black a n-word is socially acceptable when it is not. What do you all think about using quid pro quo in this Mo'Nique vs. Netflix conflict to spark social change in the behaviors of both Black entertainers and Black American consumers of entertainment? #quidproquo, #nword, #entertainment, #enslavedconsumers, #bourgeoisie, #poor, #poverty, #reparations. less
