We need more positive stories about the entrepreneurial successes of the Black community in our country. I'm so sick and tired of hearing and reading that "Blacks are lazy" and crap like that, when our history shows, even in the face of deep racism and income inequality, Blacks have been highly successful - until the envious White populace decided to destroy that wealth and impoverish the community and her people again. Then these sanctimonious Whites turn around and point fingers, accusing Blacks of being "lazy" and unwilling to pull themselves up in society.
We need LOTS of positive stories of the Black community, even around here on a Democratic Party supporting site. Hopefully, we can bring back some disenchanted Black DUers.
