Yes Sister Sheba. Agreed. We must buy Black and systematically reinvest. That's EXACTLY what we are doing here in the Buy Black Movement.

One cannot just buy black. There has to be a systemic methodology for the funds to be reinvested in the "community."

@ Delxino - I backed your statement 100. But how can you educate a younger person the same? Some just don't care or want to forget!

This is why the Buy Black Movement is so important. We see that we need to support our own because no one else is going to do it.

This video was very telling. It validated what most of us know- we don’t spend our money with us! Spending Black will save us! Economically!
