Seems like now days the only thing black folks are credited for is Sports, music, and dance.
They pay black athletes millions to run, shoot balls, and entertainers to dance and sing. Then with all of this aquired wealth these athletes make, we as a people still the majority of us make up the poor. Michel Jackson and Michel Jordan alone could solve a large amount of the poverty problem by building businesses but they dont do this. So how does it benefit us to have black athletes who make millions of dollars. All they spend the money on is the same things they had when they were poor. Expensive cars, homes and cloths jewelery. M.C. Hammer spent 10 million dollars just on a home for himself. This is a massive wast, plus they continue to work just as hard most of the time and still end up broke. Its time we as a people become more noted as scientist and engineers, Doctors and lawyers. We dont have enough of them and leave sport and play alone.

Bra Fred
Good luck with whatever you choose. You can consider IT technology.
By the way, are we the only ones left to talk?

Hey fred, doccy
Fred I got some quetions for you:
1. Do you put rediculous posts in the .com domains too or do you think that we 'Africans' are going to help you out?
2. Did you have a bad chidhood. Were you involved in gang violence?
3. Did you try making a charity organization on the net to help people. I'm actually in the process in trying to raise funds for the south africam police force. Help me out people, please.
4. Why do you think that nagging on us south africans will you achive equality?
I'm Off

Brother Yaseen
First of all how have you been? Well, I hope!
1. No, I know your not going to help me out, because you dont know any better. None the less I dont need your help, but I have plenty of help if I need it. Our people are so bad off that, not only do they not realize it, but they dont want it. So we are a unique situation to deal with. You really have to have a love for black people to do this work.
You are ignorant and I understand that, but you will wake up eventually.
2. I had a great childhood, My dad is a doctor and my mother a dentist, so we had no problems. They were protective, I wasent in any gangs but most of my friends were. I was a black exception to the rule.
3. Charity wont help the people of Africa, we dont need hand outs, we need to unify black Africans and get something for our selves. We need land and education, natural resources and control of our own destiney, goverment and lives. Not being ruled by whites and there power.
4. Nagging with you all will benefit some but I aim to lift up my people. The are a lot of blacks who read this and benefit from just that. They may not speak but they may learn.
Your last question, your off, yes your off your rocker.
Anything else?

Hi there. This is in response to the 'athelete' message. Let's see... Doctors who are the best doctors make the most money. Lawyers who are the best lawyers make the most money. If someone has the ability to become the best at a sport, why the hell should he not get paid the most money? It's not like they were born with the talent. Just like anything else, they worked their rear hinds off, as should you, and me, and anyone else who wishes to do as they did. And by the way, Michael Jordan does own a company, and he aslo owns a basketball team.

But don't take what I said the wrong way. I am not saying that helping people is wrong. Of course not. But I do believe that the best way to help someone is to get involved in their life in such a way that amazing breakthroughs happen, and when you walk away, they believe that they did it themself. See, the only people that can really make a difference, are those people who take it upon themselves to CAUSE the difference.
