Black folks spend and donate enough money on dumb sh8t that they can become venture capitalists.

Millions more people still means men and women are carrying out their biological duties.

 

Again, the question has to be WHO is having all of these children....or what portion of society shares the biggest responsibility for the population increase?

 

Not sure about the DMV area but in Michigan and the other places I've lived like the South and West Coast, the immigrant population both legal and illegal has grown TREMENDOUSLY.  And they tend to have FAR more children than the native population of this country regardless of race.

 

Not sure if you believe the population growth rates between the immigrants and native citizens are on par, but that's certainly not what I've seen in my travels...lol.

 

I don't think the native/foundational Americans of any race under 30 are having children like they were just a generation ago let alone several generations ago.

I know you were just making a casual point but that term "venture capitalist" brings up many images and scenarios.

 

I've heard so many struggling Black people claim they either are or want to be "venture capitalists" and although the term sounds cool, as I've gotten wiser and more observant I realize that it's probably just another one of those deceptive terms put out by the Racists to confuse people.

What do I mean?

 

I joke with Troy from time to time about White folks having some sort of "secret access" to money and wealth that other races don't and you only get access to it if you're labeled as "White" in this society.
Kind of like what Neely Fuller Jr. teaches in a way...lol.

Perhaps you might make a mistake on some census form or registration form and get a accidentally package in the mail that was INTENDED for an actual White person!
And it has hundreds of thousands of dollars of disposable income, a list of all the hidden stores where the REAL food is kept, and debit cards for money and credit to buy the things you want and need...lol.
That's how they REALLY got their wealth and ownership, not through investing or playing the lottery...lol.

Anyway......
 

At the risk of sounding like @richardmurray....lol....I say all of that to say:

We really don't know HOW White folks are really getting their wealth.
They throw out terms like Venture Capitalist and Investor and you see the eyes of some Black men shining and they're rubbing their hands together eager to participate thinking THAT'S how they'll get wealth too not knowing about the "secret package" which is the real wealth builder.

-Investing.
-Buying land or property and flipping it.
-Taking chances.
-Stocks

These might be just GAMES being played by those with so much money they can afford to play them, while their REAL millions and billions may actually be GIVEN to them.

Yeah, but if you are asserting something that she says is untrue why don’t you just share the link or admit that you was telling stories or being hyperbolic? Assuming you don’t wanna say you were just lying.

 

I'm not the one casting aspersions or even making strong assertions.
She is.
She's the one calling me a liar and strongly denying that she said this.
I casually say it from time to time because she made mention of it years ago while talking to another poster.

I'm not prone to hallucinations...lol...I know what I read.
Nor do I have a reason to just lie out of the blue and keep repeating that lie over the years....I know what I read.
 

The only hyperbole is my framing it as a sexual relationship but the part about a man who used take her out to buy groceries definitely part of what I remember reading from her...lol.

 

 

Agreed birds have to fly… eventually and drug addicts need to be in rehab.

 

Or behind bars if they are violent and pose a threat to the family, until they are "cured" of their disease.

 

I used to think it was a race/class issue that so many obviously sick and violent individuals  who obviously should be locked up were not being institutionalized for the safety of family and society in general. Although I still think race and class plays a huge role in this....the Nick Reiner case is one of many examples of how this dysfunctional mental health system seems to be affect all parts of strata of society even if you're White and rich.

So many people are fucked up that they no longer want to house and feed them, so they're letting them roam around in the streets UNTIL they either die or do something violent enough to warrant their incarceration.
Prevention isn't even on the table anymore.

Regardless of who is having children, the population is still growing. 

 

If a handful of men of [insert race here] are not approaching women and/or procreating for whatever reason...that doesn't account for the majority of men who are still doing their thing.

Wealth building is very real. 

 

The unfortunate truth is that Black folks have been deceived and distracted away from it. 

 

Black folks have invested way too much intellectual capital in stuff like religion and expended a huge amount of physical capital in making other folks wealthy. 

 

Way too many Black folks concentrate on working a job for someone else instead of employing themselves.

 

The real secret to white folks success is stealing from and/or making other folks work for them.
