C’mon fellas. How can we as black men look our ladies in the eye on this one? It’s reasonable to expect that black women want to marry their match or beyond in terms of education, finances, or social stature.

Corporate retail pharmacy chains don’t pay a pharmacist for what he knows, but for how fast he can dispense medication without killing anyone. Is McDonald’s really any different?

A Black businessman might think with another Black man in the highest office, The United States White House, that a Black business owner might receive his fair share of opportunities to compete for profitable government contracts. However, the Associated Press confirms that African-American owned businesses received only 1.1% of government stimulus dollars.
