Reinforcing and Permanentizing Economic Inequality

September 7, 2024

That is Not the Cause: What is?

August 31, 2024

BlackEconomics.org® The time for parables, half-truths, feeding pablum to the people, and for obfuscation is over. Time for using psychological, subliminal, and programmatic tricks to confuse the population is over. Being partly ignorant (an excuse without justification today) we rely largely on scientists (who are purposefully divided to add to the confusion), who say that […]

Feminization -> Nullification -> Weaponization

August 24, 2024

Headline Thoughts No. 3

August 10, 2024

BlackEconomics.org® “Headline Thoughts” (HLT) reflect our contemplations of, and conclusions about, recent, and important media headlines from a Black American economic perspective. This version of HLT meditates on the adages: “Things aren’t always as they seem;” and “If it appears too good to be true, then it probably is.” Our meditations are about front-and-center evidence […]

Kamala Harris and the Unending Onslaught of Economic Attacks Against Black Americans

August 3, 2024

A Black American Economic Green Book

July 27, 2024

BlackEconomics.org® As a resident of Hawaii where Black Americans (Afrodescendants) constitute about 2.2 percent of a 1.4 million population located in the Pacific Ocean about 2,400 miles from California, and given Black American History, one has cause to think the unthinkable. In doing so, one may begin to consider relevant statistics in a strictly Black […]

How Unfair is the Global Economic Strategic Game?

July 13, 2024

BlackEconomics.org® It is common knowledge that today’s global economic strategic game is characterized by the Global North generally exploiting economically the Global South. The Global North thrives via its highly valued advanced technological economies, which are often made possible—in part—by low-valued primary factors of production from the Global South.
