Hello All, Finding a good book that helps black readers with debt problems may seem to be easy, but it is not. The books we find are often written from a perspective that ignores history and lacks personal commentary that directly relates to the lifestlye of most black citizens. To address this problem and help improve financial literacy in my community I decided to write a book, "Did Everything But Think: D.E.B.T." I also host free financial lectures on a monthly basis. This book will not only help anyone from the age of 13-80 to achieve financial freedom, it also provides a few laughs at my personal expense. You can pick up a copy for yourself at Amazon.com. The kindle ebook is reasonably priced at $2.99 and the paperback version is $8.99. Thank you for supporting the D.E.B.T. movement and the war on American poverty. http://www.amazon.co...aw_bottom_links

Hey Waterstar, you are aware aren't you, that this is Cynique's Corner? Seriously though, I understand your point Waterstar. My take is that you can expect to have your posts challenged and/or questioned on this discussion board. Concurrence is typically less interesting. This "feature" of the board is not intended to discourage. If misunderstood or misquoted try considering it part of a process. And remember, if you are explaining yourself, you are probably not YET affecting some of your audience as intended.

BLACK BIBLE READERS WHERE DOES IT SAY THE COLOR OF GOD AND CHRIST..BLACK PEOPLE SHOULD READ THE HONORABLE ELIJAH MUHAMMED'S BOOK MESSAGE TO THE BLACK MAN.BOOK TALKS ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE AND GOD...BLACK PEOPLE, IN MY OPINION HAVE BECOME SPIRITUALLY CONFINED..../

When looking at the independence flags of other nations, it is very clear that the colors have deeper meanings.For instance, some colors and their brief representations: Black-the people, gold-the sun, green-the land... Red-the blood of the people, black-the people, green-the land...Black-the people and their vigor, gold-sun/resources, blue-the water.. and so on. These things are taught right along with the meanings of the triangles or bars /stripes that might be on them. The American flag has a certain number of stripes, bars, and stars. Most people in America know the symbolism in this. However, what seems to be vague, what seems to not be taught is the symbolism in the colors of the American flag, the red, white, and blue. I have, of course, seen some explanations of these colors yet these explanations just do not seem to be clear and out in the open. They, at best, seem to be something just made up and distributed. For something that holds so much meaning to patriots, why is it that what the colors represent is not known? I mean it is a clear crime, almost sacrelige, to burn a flag... It holds so much meaning, yet why is the meaning seemingly obscure? :-) Before you rush to think that this sista has, yet again, proven to be out of her right mind, ask yourself: "Do I know the symbolism behind the colors of the American flag(especially without looking at Wikipedia for quick yet unsat. reference)?
