"BLACK CRONIES"

Our "Emperor Jones" Curse??

I was appalled (didn't think it possible, at my age) to find the Black Faces among the "candidates" for Prosecution, in the FIFA Corruption, exposed by the DOJ yesterday.  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/fifa/11635654/Fifa-corruption-live.html

On the block of Black Businesses, in my Town, on East Main Street, was the Maple Leaf Club (historical: under a new name), owned by one of the richest Black Men in our Town.  My Grandfather's business was "three-doors-down" from there.

As a child, I was told scary stories about the MOB, and its connections to that Club's  Owner.  He and is wife were our "neighbors" - - joined across the Alley that completed our "Block".  They were among the "nicest" people I knew.  His Business was the only Black Business that our Community did not consider to be "legitimate".  Grandpa told us to stay away from that Club, but we often sneaked in, only to face Grandpa's wrath, when he soon arrived to "retrieve" us.

I have always associated the Blacks  with "Emperor Jones"; the type of Black who found ways to get "rich" by exploiting his own people.  It's the name of a famous Broadway Play written by Eugene O'Neill.  Today we find these characters among Blacks who are attracted to the Republican Party (Herman Cain, Dr. Carson, Condi Rice, Clarence Thomas); there is also a "Latino" version of this syndrome growing among us today.

This kind of corruption has always been attractive to young non-white males who are born poor.  We see most of  them today in our jails; "tracked" there by our Public Education Systems.  The alternative to these people, in Black Communities, are those Black Men, mostly Preachers, who think they can "redeem" the White Man from his Evil Ways.  We're long been caught between these extremes; while the entire World becomes complicit in keeping tragedies like these alive.

Stay Vigilant!  the current issue of The Americas Quarterly, shows how Small, Non-White Business Owners are using Social Media Technology to Trade directly with counterparts anywhere in the World.  We no longer have to go "Through the White Man" to Trade; to Communicate; or to make our fortunes!
