(Sorry for the missing three posts! Technical problems😖. .)
As you know, even after slavery was outlawed in the United States, laws and restrictions worked to oppress black Americans.
"But that same history is rife with stories of African Americans who embraced the institutions of family, religion, education, and perhaps most notably entrepreneurship to overcome dehumanizing discrimination and achieve enduring prosperity."
Though limited in the founding ideals of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, these individuals used the free market economic system of America to rise above.
"Government—at all levels—failed to protect Blacks’ rights to life, liberty, property, freedom of contract, right to trial by jury, and more. [But] the market didn’t fail Black people. Indeed, Blacks prospered as entrepreneurs, professionals, and laborers within the free enterprise system."
Participation in the free market has been an avenue of prosperity for the black community in all of our history.
As we obsess and agonize over our failures, it's imperative to study success.
