Oh yeahh, no doubt, not easy to succeed economically while being under attack since perhaps the emancipation proclamation. Big props to wealthy AAs on that. And I agree, culture provides important social and economic benefits with improved learning and health, increased tolerance, and opportunities to come together as a community. Culture enhances the quality of life and increases overall well-being for both individuals and communities.
I believe some attention must be paid to the socioeconomic ills in the the Black community, as well as paying attention to the negative psychological dynamics in the Black experience that contribute to "internecine" victimization. The Black community in particular is in dire need of homicide prevention centers with programs of prevention, research and treatment.
