Here's a great example of how black people can demonstate that they are just as smart (if not much, much smarter) than most Americans by jumping into the fray of entrepreneurialism.

This woman saw a great story and the potential for a great product...and the rest is history.

Lesson learned: Playing the victim only leads to defeat (even if you are a victim). Looking at your life as one big opportunity (and then acting on it) can put victimhood and defeat in the rearview mirror.

America is the land of opportunity for everyone. You just have to seize the oppportunity!

Tip o' the hat to Freeper Libloather.

I saw this article when reading the one he posted (right below this thread) on Jack Daniels (Jack Daniel's barrel houses are causing an out-of-control black 'whiskey fungus' in a Tennessee community, enraged residents say)

I agree, but, to me, the story fairly drips with wokeism.

Ofvcourse, it *is* the Insider after all.

The black woman who started a distillery local was shown by a white woman collage professor how to milk 35,000 out of the government before the business ever started.
So yea,the are smart buisnesswoman.

… She is writing a book about Green, and last month introduced Uncle Nearest 1856, a whiskey produced on contract by another Tennessee distillery;

Her company doesn’t even make the whiskey, it’s just woke marketing.

Interesting.

You nailed it, Rooster! This is a great, inspirational story. She is quite a talent.

...started her first business, in special events and public relations, at the age of 18. Published two books about marriage in 2014 and 2015...visited the farm in Tennessee where Green made his whiskey and learned that the property had been on the market for 15 months. So she decided to buy it for an undisclosed amount.

Her four-day trip turned into a 12-month research project. She partnered with more than 20 historians and researchers to confirm more of Green's history, including that he was the first master distiller for the Jack Daniel's distillery.

That was a bold stroke buying that property, apparently not knowing what she was going to do with it and only then embarking on 12 months of research!

Good for her! I wish her great success.

One of the nicest things is the article doesn't say she went off on a rant about how Jack Daniel's exploited Greene and the racial injustice of it all.
