The Color of Money Black Banks And The Racial Wealth Gap💰💰💰

The large sized book to the right is one that covers a lot of issues associated with most of the other reviews I've given during my Black Enterprise journey. The Color Of Money compiles many of the issues that America has faced years after slavery, racism, segregation, Jim Crow, and much more. The topics in this book are an overview of how destructive those bad generational norms continue to plague America, the black community, banks, and the world as a whole. Failure to open more channels of success to minority communities is more of a conscious choice rather than a social one. Author Mehrsa Baradaran does a great job in exposing the government for their clear and blatant racism when it comes to minority communities.

The government - said to be made of the people and for the people, single handedly failed in its due diligence to hold up the ideals of America, thus making most of America's ideals come off as a joke. This book has unlocked a new view in my mind when it comes to who I am as a person and how other people in my life are. This book has also given me a different perspective on institutions, programs, banks, mortgage lenders, and big business. From the surface, these institutions and policies come off as things needed for survival in the American economy.

However, given my new perspective, I now see that most of these programs and policies are only designed to work for a certain group of people, with the inclusion of excluding others that do not meet the criteria. I feel like with this new perspective, I'll have better attention to detail on the things that go on in my life. I am honored and grateful to have read this book and learned valuable knowledge from its contents.

For anyone who considers reading this book , I would recommend 10/10, all the way. But in the end, it is up to you. Thank you all, and enjoy the rest of your day.

Best,

Pancho

My Personal Experience As a Bud Tender

Working as a Bud Tender in the corporate cannabis industry was a lot different than I thought it would be. I wanted to break into the industry as a Cannabis Sales Representative and decided that the best way for me to follow that path would be to work at a Medical Dispensary. I thought that it would be a great learning opportunity and a strong base for me to start with. After working at the dispensary for a month I realized just how low leaning occupations like this could be. It was no different than what you'd find at your typical retail center. Cash registers, useless managers, bogus work schedules that weren't even organized, and even lazier coworkers. Working for the medical cannabis industry was by far one of the best ideas I've had in a long while. The only problem is working something as low on the food chain as a Budtender. Positions like that could really discourage those who are seeking to join the industry. The gig as a clinical account represent...

Reviews by Pancho @ "Stop Being Niggardly" By Karen Hunter

🙉Stop Being Niggardly🙉 In this small-sized book, the author Karen Hunter ties a lot of great points to how the African American community fails themselves through the common things that have been done over centuries. Hunter uses a list of things that were originally written by Nannie Burroughs to compare and contrast just how far black people as a whole have come since the ending of slavery. During her statements, she holds absolutely nothing back - reflecting not only on her upbringing but the upbringing of other black people through her own eyes. Hunter shows the audience a true but heartbreaking reality of black communities, their intentions, and their small goals. Oftentimes, these things that African American communities are so used to are the exact same thing that continues to plague more and more of the generations being brought up. In the middle of the book, a brief historical moment is explained how some of the most notorious black figures harmed their peopl...
