BlackEconomics.org® Introduction This brief report is mainly statistical. We present the following estimates: US Government deficits and debt; US Government debt holders; and interest and economic growth rates that cast light on the sustainability of US Government debt.

Racism: A Non-Reinsertable Mutant Genie
Racial/Ethnic racism and the follow-on discrimination are central to the American and global dilemma.(1) Once in power, dominant groups seek to retain their dominance and power.(2) However, those eternal optimists among us believe that there are solutions to the racism problem; i.e., populations can be taught and learn to operate as “antiracists” or that economic […]

Should Black America Strike Too?
BlackEconomics.org® Strikes are in Black America’s DNA. We have a long, treasured, and illustrious history as members and leaders of labor unions—their organizational formation, operations, and their strikes. Therefore, it is puzzling why Black Ameri- cans have never conducted widespread (national) sit-down strikes to advance our liberty. After narrowly avoiding potentially economically disastrous national strikes […]

Eliminating Excuses
BlackEconomics.org® After demoralizing and unforgiveable losses, football enthusiasts often hear coaches and players say: “We make no excuses, but…” When these words roll off their lips, we say: “Stop! Make no excuses! Accept defeat! Move on!” Now translate that scenario to our everyday lives, and then project it into the future. We can do nothing […]

Blaxit to Africa?
BlackEconomics.org® In mid-August 2023, BlackEconomics.org released an essay, “Black Americans Have Choices.” “Blaxit” (Black Americans emigrating) to Afrika is a topic relevant to, but not broached, in that essay. Consequently, we address Blaxit here. As a starting point and for context, we invite you to consider a 2008 paper, “Coming to Africa: Should Black Americans […]

De-Dignification and Economic Exploitation of Black Americans
BlackEconomics.org® Introduction Those knowledgeable of the political economy recognize that US “democracy” is far from pure. BlackEconomics.org has highlighted many times the sway—near total control even—that oligarchs and plutocrats and their enterprises have over the political economy. For example, the airline industry reflects and projects inordinate power. We will discuss this power below as we […]

Doing It Wrong All Along
BlackEconomics.org Let us begin by recalling two important facts. First, one cannot keep doing the same thing and expect a different outcome. Second, as of 2020, there were about 3.8 million Black American businesses, about 95 percent of which were non-employers. That is, they were small one-person operations with average receipts sufficient to survive at […]

Black Americans Have Choices
BlackEconomics.org® Why are Black Americans so wedded to a system that is speaking clearly to us in no uncertain terms that “technology” in all its forms is preeminent, and that technology is likely to render us “null and void” or nonexistent? Let us be clear: BlackEconomics.org is not averse to technology, and that we do […]

Report Brief: Why Racism? Black American Adverse Stereotypes in the WSJ
BlackEconomics.org® Background Race has always been a salient dilemma for the American society. Scholars, politicians, and laypersons alike continue to analyze race and racism. Sometimes, we bypass consideration of race and focus on racism and how to halt it. But to purge racism from society, one must fully comprehend its root causes. At BlackEconomics.org, we […]

Providing Retirement Benefits for Descendants of Former Slave Masters
BlackEconomics.org® The Black American predicament today is largely the result of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, our subsequent unwarranted imprisonment, and our forced “slave” labor. It is understandable that, while at the end of gun barrel, we would toil to support those with the power to permit or snuff out life. However, nearly 160 years later, […]
