Black Economics: Solutions for Economic and Community empowering by Jawanza Kunjufu

First off before I write about how NECESSARY AND EXTREMELY pleasant this book was th read, let me first help you out with a brief intro here to give you some background as to the accomplishment and brief history of the author of this book. Second let me assist you on some places where you can purchase this book if you haven't already or in case you were thinking of going to local Borders or Barnes and Nobles. Oh no don't do that. Some place you can go to purchase this book(especially online) are here and any other black bookstore that is in a location near you. Visit this place and click on the button to get familiar with supporting black business. Now that the preliminaries are done I must say that Black Economics written by Jawanza Kunjufu will forever change how you (and most definitely myself) spend your money. I don't know what stuck with me more the fact that African-Americans generate $600 Billion dollars or the fact that we only spend %3 percent of that with ourselves. Is it really unbelievable that more people without college degrees in the black communities are inclined to start there own business or is it just a result of what happens when the degree holders don't have the COURAGE to recognize INDEPENDENCE.

I may be going out on a limb, but this may be the best starting business book for African-Americans that was ever written. This book makes see in almost every instance of your life just how much of African-American dollars are exported outside of its community into the hands and communities of virtually every single ethnic group. Another strong point of the book was the amount of statistics that was offered in regards to black consumer's and income dollars. I did not know that black men make %57 percent less money then their Caucasian counterparts. This book also made me realize the serious urgency that exists in the black community to recognize dollar for dollar just how important and just how DIFFICULT it would be keep the majority and one day all of black dollars within the borders of the black community. Most importantly it made me realize just how many other people realize the potential of African-American purchasing power and just how little black owned products and services exist in my day to day activities and practices.
