In a way I hate to say it, but there is one black organization in Oakland, CA, that does exactly the kind of economic help that you speak of - it is the Nation of Islam. They have helped set up a number of small businesses including a very successful bakery. The Nation of Islam is many things, but it is not an organization that encourages disrespectful behavior either of oneself or others. It does have a nasty reputation of racism towards whites. however. Still, I can accept that sort of thing as long as its right up front. That's the thing about Farrakhan - he doesn't try to fool anyone about his position.
You are correct. Even tho I could never support Farakhan, I have supported Nation of Islam businesses for the very reasons of which you speak.

So I can start slinging the N word, wear white sheets, and burn crosses as long as I'm up front about it?
