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 @ "As A Black Man Thinketh" By Reggie Whittaker

As A Black Man Thinketh ට This journal-sized book follows a very close POV style look at the Authors life and what he's been through over the years. He shines a light on common issues that black men go through living in America. Throughout the book, the audience is given a deeper insight into Whittaker's life when he explains his time being incarcerated in the jail system along with his marital issues. I really like this book because the author uses himself as an example that he can learn from and analyze with care. I personally resonated with some of the upbringings that he endured while being a child of black parents in America. Whittaker's ability to be as unbiased as possible makes him the perfect teacher to talk about common issues that aren't discussed enough within a race. We must not focus on the past, but in order to solve a multigenerational problem, one must learn to backtrack, hoping to see where the problem lies and where edits can be made. The subtitle ...
