I want to be ON RECORD for telling Africans to support what is best for the African community. In other words, I prefer to spend my money in black book stores (and I also prefer to purchase books by black authors whose works are put out by black publishers...but I guess thats entirely another point). Point blank...I prefer to spend my money with black businesses. There is no way I would ever say that supporting black business is the solution (in and of itself) to our problems though. Not even if you put a gun to my head. But it is DEFINITELY one of the "elements" that makes up the solution to our problems. I just wanted to be clear about that though because in the past people have assumed that because I am a socialist, I oppose black business...and that is simply not true. In fact, the best book I ever aquired on the topic of socialism...I bought from Eso Wan Books in L.A.
