We been telling yaw. Bravo! You better wake up. The black/minority Chuck Wagon for government Grant's and funding that only a few if yaw'l enjoy, is about to disappear. I am happy. These Government Prgrams are just another way to divide us, make us bow to them, and take our best to go work for them, and not our own communities. Black folks only got around $50 million anyway, and the red tape and hoops required to jump through for the support is discriminating in and of itself. My father had to borrow money AND stand in the street and at the job sites to get contacts as a Black-Owned Construction Company owner... ...and I, as a youn Kareem, was there along with him, doing my homework in the truck while they made my father BEG for a piece, a sliver, of local construction projects. While they just send their lawyers. I've never had a business loan, a government grant, nor an Angel Investor... nothing! To this day, I have to deal with their discrimination, and I see my young black and brown staff, partners and producers go through the same things. Now, the world is our Marketplace. Today, opportunities abound abroad. Let's stop begging for scraps and fractions, and let's talk our talents and skills where we are appreciated and Welcomed. Most of these "minority supplier" programs are scams anyway. Designed to keep us begging and get thengoberment the best of us fornthe cheap. Let them have it!
