Hmm, I don't understand what you mean about blacks not interested in trading. I am black and have been trading since the late 80's. Hung out at the Merc sort of regularly too! I'm a member of a trading club also. I have quite a few friends who quietly have built pretty good sized stock...

The original Black Panthers were established to provide protection from police brutality and racism based acts. When I was a little guy back in the late sixties, the Chicago chapter of the Panthers came to our school to recruit the kids. We were asked to join the Junior Rangers (aka PewWee's)...

I called my grandmother today (92). She lives in Durant Ms. I asked her what she intended to do on election day. She said vote for McCain. She gave me several reasons too. I asked her why wouldn't she just vote for Barak just because he is a black man. She said her gut doesn't trust him. She...

This form requires a declaration to a religious sector that's recognized. I have a better way to opt out but they (the government/politicians) won't allow it. I'd like to find what portion of the debt that I am responsible for and pay it with the understanding that I can not be encombered by the...

You're joking right? I can go to many inner city clinics and get free condoms now and that's not working. In Chicago, they give condoms away at many of the colleges. Something as simple as putting on a rubber is way too much to ask. The sad piece is you can make all that stuff available, you...

Poor choice!! The followings of both of these that you speak are dedicated to death! The thing that you're NEVER told is that their followings are way, way, way down. If we could only get the press/media to stop telling you that they are key players. They really aren't! Their followers are...

I'd first say that you can't cherry pick for the instances that might work for your solution. Mav88 covered the one side quite well I think. I would tell you that there needs to be a major adjustment from the black community side also. What about the mother of four (all or mostly by different...

I am an eBay shopper along with the sites that you mentioned. I've had success with most of the major drive makers. There was a point when Western Digital was putting out some suspect stuff, but they seem to have it in line a bit better now. Just make sure your seller has a rating in excess of...

LOL!! I'm on the floor!! Permission to retell this story to some Obama backers? And, to implement this experiment over and over and over..... :)

Fortunately I'm not an African. And most of my friends are not African either. Could be why we easily and consistently buck the trends of Africans that you describe. :)

Hmm, Item 1 clearly describes a lot of rap music to to most of us old schoolers. I'll have to mention that to the guys this weekend. Interesting. Item 2 could easily eliminate most of my community also. The high grade school dropout statistics would easily justify me saying that comprehension...

I think the problem is that we don't have the stomach to let it happen as it should. The number of poor decisions made is quite massive. There are a ton of banks and borrowers out there who just wanted to "get over" on each other. I had a banker friend who called it, scam purchasing by using...
