Who We Be

A classic song. Lately I have been feeling like we need to call out our so called allies to fight injustice. If you believe in fair and equal economical freedom look at yourself to see what exactly how are you helping the cause. Are you giving us opportunities? Everyone could talk a good game but few act on their words. For example, I am looking at corporate America and see tons of minorities working in the bottom of the totem pole. But few getting opportunity’s to jump from a entry level job to more a supervisor role. This is why we have to start our own businesses and be able to progress this movement. It’s disturbing that our liberal allies don’t see it but you have the power to change that. Give us economical empowerment. How? You ask. Well just don’t create a “task force to understand minorities”, actually promote us. Promote us to a better salary job, don’t be scared of change. I know we are scared of things we do not know about but our people work hard. Most of us know we have to work harder just to get recognize. It’s not that we do not like constructive criticism but most of the time we believe they are not fair or rules don’t go the same for “others”. See my rant today is about everyone being in the same playing field. A fair one. We need to change the old mentality of “they are taking our jobs” to there is enough money to go around. See when you hire a minority and promote that person(him/her) you empower them. Then the minority person can work hard and provide for their family. Not work check to check but actually save and have room to pull his family from the bottom to at least middle class. This is just an example of what happens when you give a minority a Fair shot. Its about more than buying your employees lunch or even creating competition for gift cards. It’s about economical opportunity. The time is now.
