Black Wallstreets+ (plural)

[Dee Miller]

I am so in love with my people.  I constantly think about the power of Black Greatness, and Black Wallstreet came to mind.  Then, I thought about the many black/affluent neighborhoods in the US.  Then, of course, Black Wealth in general...BEAUTIFUL, POWERFUL, STRONG!!  

 

There's not even enough space on this page to list the places where you can find Black areas/communities/land... of Wealth, so I leave you with a couple of sights that list a few.

Mutton bustin'  ?????

Sounds like something shameful......to both you AND the sheep, lol.

Careful @Pioneer1 this is the Black excellence forum!

 

Mutton busting is when toddlers ride sheep, the way adults "bust" broncos.  It is the cutest thing

@Troy, I've heard about Black Rodeos; however, Mutton busting is a new insight.  I bet they were adorbs!   @Pioneer1..smh and cracking up because you are never shy of speaking your truth.  But, like I mentioned before, your discussions are always head-tilting, thought-provoking, educational, and intriguing. I appreciate you, bruh.
