Is Racism an Over Used Word?

From 1944-1964, the black community experienced its greatest economic prosperity in the US.  During that time, a vibrant black economy was being built.  Like any growing economic entity, it would experience growing pains.  In a business, companies obtain bridge loans to make it though that troubling and painful gap.

However, in 1964, that gap was bridged with government help.  It was called the civil rights act.  That act encouraged affirmative action and desegregation.  Without anyone realizing it, the downward spiral began.

The world has become a global community.  Different communities throughout the world work together to produce products and services.  To ensure their communities thrive, the people in those regions buy and sell to one another.  When they don’t, they create an economic void in their community.

In other words, the world is being held together by group economics.  If your group lacks the ability to work together, your group will fail.  It will have nothing to do with racism.  It is a matter of your group succeeding or failing economically.  One sign of a failed group is the inability to leverage its most talented minds.  Squandering those minds is a form of intellectual cannibalism.  When you don’t want to be responsible for your groups cannibalism, it is easier to blame it on racism.  Or is it really racism?  If I am off base, I am willing to concede to the perspectives others.  Let’s discuss tonight.    

Tonight, Sunday, February 14, from 7:00pm-9:00pm (EST) at Straight Talk with Ted Santos.
