My thoughts on black or more specifically African American culture... There are many words that come to mind both good and bad. As a whole I feel we need 3 things to compete and gain respect as a community
Education
We need to really work on attaining knowledge of self. Most black people have no idea of their history before slavery and the Civil Rights movement. Once you have an idea of your real history you begin to have a better sense of your self worth. You begin to understand true spirituality that can provide you food, clothing, and shelter. You will understand self reliance and slowly come out of a post traumatic slave mentality. No longer will you wait for heaven in the afterlife, you will have the ambition to build your ideal community here and now. You will want to take action! We will begin to establish a culture of accountability and pro activity.
Economics
Once we have a better view of who you are and become self aware of your situation in America you can begin to build a community. You will begin to value the people in your neighborhood, you have pride in your people and where you live. You seek out and connect with competitive black businesses and create networks to drive leadership in the community. Your community begins to pool their money and elect officials to enact policies that will act on their behalf and enhance their standard of living. We will have police in place that actually have a stake in the community, we will have businesses that we will want to maintain and patronize, we will have a school system that actually creates curriculum that empowers the youth through real education.
Health
Lastly, to truly achieve self actualization and some semblance of sovereignty we need to focus on our mental and physical well being. Lets move away from processed foods, chemicals in our hair, and anything that is detrimental to our well being. We will have money to afford proper health care and seek out ways to live longer and prosperous lives.
