If you look at my avatar it says "Vision Just Ahead"

Unfortunately there is a serious lack of VISION in the AfroAmerican community today.

Too many would rather be well dressed servants in the home of a wealthy master rather than learn to build and maintain a home of their own.....a home they can leave for their children and grand children ect.

With the exception of Dr. Carson, most of the wealthy AfroAmericans you're speaking of earned their wealth through ENTERTAINMENT instead of INDUSTRY.

Which means they don't know how to build society or civilization for themselves, they only know how to entertain those who do after the work is done.

In other words...........

They can sing and dance...but only if somebody with the knowledge can BUILD a theater and stage for them to perform.

They can toss a football or bounce a basketball....but only if someone of industry BUILDS an arena for them to perform in.

Technology and industry is the foundation, entertainment and the arts just compliment it

Knowing this is crucial to understanding the answer your question as to why so many wealthy Black people aren't investing in the decaying urban centers of our nation.

They don't know how to.

I was reading an article in some magazine a few days ago that was talking about the Great REVERSE Migration and how hundreds of thousands of Black people have left the large Northern cities like New York and Chicago and ran back down South for better jobs and schools and lower crime rates.

That's what happens when you don't have any vision and can't build anything for yourself.

You're constantly flying back and forth like a flock of pigeons or sea gulls birds looking to live off of the scraps of what other people have thrown away.
