Common Money Myths That Block Black People From Wealth

I have to start this one off carefully. This one is embedded in the psyche of the American way of life. I have even been guilty on some levels of perpetuating this myth in my life with varying results. I have come to realize that in the pursuit of real wealth, it can stunt your economic growth and keep you trapped financially. "Fake it Till You Make It." These six words can derail you from wealth and leave you fakin it forever. If you are pursuing an acting career and lack some credentials while on an audition, "fake it till you make it," may very well work in your favor. Putting yourself in positions where you have the skill but lack the experience, "fake it till you make it," can be your friend. When dealing with wealth and wealth building in particular, this philosophy becomes a myth, ...

Black Psychosis

Psychosis is a dirty word so I don't expect much appreciation for writing this. But we Blacks need to start owning our circumstances. Racism and discrimination persist but that isn't the point here. The Black community has cultivated a belief system and mental state that have become entrenched into our DNA. I call this the "Black Psychosis" and in contemporary America it is just as responsible for holding our people back as institutional racism. In its basic form, psychosis means a distorted view of reality, usually including false beliefs about what is actually taking place, which then impact how one goes about their daily life. Black psychosis is a form of group psychosis where deep seated emotions, distorted beliefs and behavioral characteristics may not be apparent in any one individu...

Critical Thinking: Why Do Some White People Hate Themselves?

If one pays attention to the mainstream media and/or spends time on different social media sites, they may have come across at least one white person who blames their entire race for all the problems in the world. It is then going to be clear that they are ashamed of the colour of their own skin and what their ancestors have supposedly done. A Strange Affair After one saw this for the first time, they may have wondered why someone would behave in this way. Even so, they may have just carried on with their life and put this experience behind them. Alternatively, it might not have been possible for them to do this, and this could show that they have been exposed to this kind of behaviour on a number of occasions. It is then going to be apparent that this is an outlook that a number of whi...

It’s Time We Stop Ignoring Racism In America

1. Has Racism And Bigotry Been Repackaged In America It's Time We Stop Ignoring Racism In America. Racism has obviously disguised itself in a variety of ways. One of Racism's many personalities allows it to masquerade as justice. This is perhaps the deadliest weapon in violating African American rights. The deaths of Sandra Bland and Trayvon Martin are prime examples of how dangerous race tactics are when placed in the hands of unfair law enforcement. Racially charged killings by authorities are at an all time high and the hatred that rears its ugly head from behind a Patriotic mask has Americans chanting, " Go back to Mexico!" to other Americans. We never see what race the monster is from behind its red, white and blue veil. Make America Great Again? Nobody ever told me that America had ...

Afraid of the Dark – Working With Black Men in Corporate America

I've worked on-and-off in corporate America for 12 years as a consultant, independent contractor, and an employee. In that time, I've had the dubious distinction of being the only black man, and many times, the only black person, at the companies where I was employed. The thing about being the only black person in the office is that it comes with responsibility. Not job responsibility, because that's a given, but psychosocial responsibility. Many times, I, and other black men in similar situations, represent the lone intimate contact that our white colleagues will have with other black people, and black men in particular. The extent of these interactions will be largely determined by their comfort level and acceptance. While many (white people) find it shocking that a black man can stil...

Interracial Dating: Why Not?

Dating a partner of another race defines interracial dating. Is this beyond comprehension for a white person, or a black person? What do we care about the color of a person's skin? I want to find love in all the right places, and if someone white is going to turn me on, respect me as a woman, and I respect him, then we have nothing to fear. The 1990 census reports that 17.6% of black marriages occur with whites, and it is also found that black men are 2.5 times more likely to be married to a white woman than a black woman to a white man (about.com). Just look at the basketball players and their wives; Tiger Woods and his new wife. This is an ongoing trend with men and women. In 1970 there were 310,000 documented cases of interracial marriages; in 1980 there were 651,000 cases reported; a...

Black Economic Security

The state of the African-American family is now at a crossroads in terms of where we are headed. Through poverty, violence and lack of opportunity, we are failing to develop the next generation of leadership in ways that will assure a net gain for us as a people and for America in general. Now comes the report from the Black AIDS Institute that if black America was a country, we'd rank 16th in the world in AIDS cases, with nearly 600,000 people currently living with HIV. With HIV, hypertension and diabetes all prevalent in our community, we would place 105th in national life expectancy as an individual country. We are all aware of people who eat too much salt, drink too much pop or are always "on the prowl". The problem with these behaviors is that far too often the consequences of them ...

Can Harlem Stay Black?

Black residents arrived to Harlem after 1905, as part of the Great Migration that saw Blacks flood northern cities like Chicago and Detroit. By the 1930s the Harlem Renaissance took place, and was probably one of the greatest cornerstones of African-American art history. The iconic Apollo opened during that period, a venue for almost exclusively African-American artists. And although the Black population in Harlem peaked in the 1950s, Latino residents have joined African-Americans to continue the Afro/Carib culture in the community. If any place in New York City was Black, it was Harlem. And now some are asking how long before Harlem is Black no more? Since New York City's economic revival in the late 1980s, gentrification has become a more commonly heard phrase, growing into a hotly deb...

Whose Fault Is It for the Black Community’s Downfall?

The dollar lasts only 6 hours in black neighborhoods across America. Compare this to 28 days in the Asian community and 19 days in the Jewish community. Because of this lack of economic cohesiveness we can clearly see the decline in the black community for the past 60 years. The money situation only represents the mindset of the people using it. This lack of economic understanding has lead to high crime rates and deteriorating neighborhoods. However there is a blame game going on between black men and women as to who is at fault for this unfortunate circumstances. Visit YouTube and many blog sites and you will find videos and articles where black men and women are going back to forth blaming the other sex for this situation. This article seeks to answer this question once and for all. Do...
