Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 1348" data-source="post: 67785">Is there systemic and endemic white racism towards us and a white supremacy system that has a code of denying us upward mobility? 100 percent. But we cause our own errors. I won't put it all on us. The mindset that a lot of us have: defeatist, jealousy and envy, is a byproduct of that white supremacy mental game. That said, we have do our best to play past it. Once we get enough of us on code like that, even 10% its a game changer. We could have had a few billionaires and way, way more millionaires since the '90s had we not sold hip hop. Had we started our own athletic shoe companies in the '80s when shoe contracts were getting big, we could have had a few billionaires and way more millionaires since then.Had we started our own film industry from the 'Blaxploitation' days of the '70s, we'd have a few billionaires and many more millionaires  since then. Had Black women not let Asians run their own culture with hair and nails, they'd have a few billionaires and many millionaires right now. Us not being on the list is our own fault with a lot of "help" (sarcastically speaking) from not just white but other people (Asians, Latinos).</blockquote>
