Yeah. If we fail to plan we plan to fail. It makes no sense to simply have a different clown in the center ring of the same circus. Lets get the evolution started. We Black Americans have an amount of money pass through our hands each year that is equivalent to the national economies of all but 22 nations in the entire world. We handle more money than any European country whose population is equal to ours and we can't even seem to empower our own institutions like banks or merchant collectives. It might have been true a century ago that we lacked the formal training and experience to operate an instrumentality dedicated to our own benefit, but now we have Black billionaires and CEOs of white corporations, not to mention the 2 Black Secretaries of State.

Truly it is our time to carpe diem and self-actualize.
