The store that refused to sell Oprah a handbag...

I just do not understand why we beg people to take our money. If it is something that is essential to your well being, then yes, I can understand asking to speak to the manager or raising a ruckus. But a handbag?? I would have told that clerk to kiss my azz.

She told that story to bunch of white women. I'm saying to myself, Oprah can't be this naive. A real man would've told her to let's go. Gayle King should've told her daughter the truth.

The sad part is that Oprah was worth nine figures at the time, and still was discriminated against in Italy.

That's because most of us have been conditioned to believe that spending money makes us powerful, whereas being able to save and control the flow of money is the real power.

I think you are so right about that. I also think that Asians learned this a long time ago. For example here in Houston, the southwest part: Bissonnet, Beechnut, Hillcroft, Bellaire, etc. When, you drive down some of those streets, you would swear you are in Asia somewhere. Banks, restaurants, grocery stores, bakeries, you name it. All Asian own and operated. Hell, in some areas, even the street signs are in their languages.
 
The problem is, we have been conditioned to a point that a lot of us can't do simple stuff for ourselves and others are taking full advantage of it. This is what happens when people become so depended on a system for all their needs. Also, others have INTENTIONALLY built-in measures to continue to take advantage of us, such as car and home repairs. A lot of those repairs are due to bad works that were previously done and we pay those who screwed it up the first time to fix it again. It is similar to the State of Louisiana when it comes to highway construction. Due to watered down laws in Louisiana, it's hard to hold a construction contractor liable for poor construction. Therefore, in most cases, the State re-hire the same contractor to fix a job they screwed up in the first place.

The same in Montgomery with Koreans. They have two banks, two shopping centers and a ton of businesses. Hyundai employs a shytload of with them and the car suppliers. One thing about them, they don't depend anyone for nothing. Also, they hire their own people for jobs here.

All jokes asides.... whenever we stop looking for acceptance from white people and start depending our own skills. It's going to be great.
 
Alotta that money Asians get to come over here and start business, which have become whole areas of town over time, came from the government. They’re basically paid to come set up shop in our areas.

I know Jesse Jackson complained about this in an article I read years ago.
 
Yes! Everyone else comes here with a plan. Hell we built this! I just can't understand why it's so wrong for us to get ourselves together (economically and politically ) then go full force after our enemy from a position of power?

I think, the government gave them 20K for being in those internment camps.

Correct! Some black people have more faith in white people than themselves.

That's because they have been conditioned to think that way. I know Black folks now here in Virginia who would listen to dumb White folks and give them their hard earned money to do a crappy job for them, but would disregard listening to a Black person that knows way more than that dumb White person. For example, all Jim Jones had to do was wear a suit and tie and carry a bible and Black folks committed suicide for him. Religion is one of the key components that they use to keep Black folks frustrated and confused or basically thinking out of the natural order of human self-survival. When you are taught to strictly have faith in something or someone, you are not to question the natural process of how things are really done, which is why we see financial power in a backwards way.

Correct. I heard a black woman that I worked with said, Black doctors are inferior. WTF!
Honestly, I find it bizarre because a lot of black people are whitewashed in Alabama.

Hell, if you ever want to meet some crazy individuals. Look, no further, than a Woman of God. They do everything under the sun, and when talk to them about their ways. They always say, "Only God can judge me."

Finally, the black church is the new drug dealer in our community.

Is the problem wi th religion or the teaching and twisting of it to fit dirty agends?

It's probably the twisting of it, because I'm sure Jews are not teaching their congregation to be solely depended on others for their survival. If a church is not teaching it congregation how to depend less on money and more on self, then something is definitely wrong with that church.

Something that has puzzled me for eons...even when I taught Sunday School. Why are the Jews the Chosen People? Is it because they wrote the book? If God is no respecter of person why are the Jews His chosen people? I was never able to reconcile that question.

We really (as a people) need to address why we believe as we believe. Is it the teaching? If so, why are we the only ones who seemingly cling to it? Those who "taught" us this religion don't practice it and definitely not those in power.

Having said that I want to say I believe in a Supreme Being. There is too much order for this world to be a big accident.

I'm not sure why Jews are the Chosen People or even if today's Jews are the original Jews. There are many questions that is completely unclear when it comes to the true history of religion.

I am reasonably certain that the Jews (Hebrews) of the Bible are not the Jews of today. In my opinion most if not all of those who inhabit Israel today are proselytes (converts) but for some reason they still have this mystique over much of the Christian world.

I guarantee you if you polled most whites in this country as to what race God is they will almost to a man/woman say that God is white...even those who are suppose to be fair minded believe in their hearts God is white. I will bet you a dollar to a do-nut.

I agree. The bleaching of Jesus started with Michelangelo. Not only White folks think God is White, but many Black people think the same.

Nah. They have our communities marked as Special Economic Zones and money is set aside to invest in and rebuild these communities. It’s just that Asians and Latinos are the ones getting the money.

Jews of today are descendants of the ashkenazi Jews who were converted by the Sephardics outta Spain, who are themselves ancestors of the Arabs who made contact with our people in Africa and were converted by us.

Everything the so-called “jews” do today is about politics. Their religion just provides em cover.
