Today’s Principle: Ujaama (Cooperative Economics)
To build and maintain our own stores, shops and other businesses and to profit from them together.
When I look at issues like black unemployment or tragedies like the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, I realize that these things happen because we lack the infrastructure the fix them. If we were more active in spending money among ourselves, our businesses could compete in the American marketplace with the best of them and, more importantly, we could be hiring more of our people. Furthermore, with the logistical channels in place and people with a wider array of resources, we can step in and help our own when tragedy strikes. Perhaps, in 2007, we can make a stronger commitment to “buy black”.
