There exists in the African American political conversation a great
disconnect on the subject of “economic development.” Among some Black
political tendencies, the term “economic development” is thought to be
synonymous with individual entrepreneurship. That’s a very narrow
definition of economic development, one that reduces most Blacks to the
role of mere potential customers, who are expected to support
individual Black businesspeople as if the survival of the Race depended
on it.

The massive demonstrations by immigrants and
their supporters have been magnificent to behold – many hundreds of
thousands in cities across the country, with total participation well
over a million. Most progressives are ecstatic, believing that a new
era of activism has begun. But, as a Black man, I’m feeling twinges of
a different emotion: shame.

Every year, radio/tv commentator Tavis Smiley holds a forum that brings
together "the best and the brightest" African-Americans from academia,
political, economic and health care, to hold panel discussions on
what's wrong with Black America, and how we Black Americans should go
about fixing it.
This is a good gesture, if we truly believe it will bear positive fruit
in the lives of African-Americans, to the point of where we will
actually be motivated to take action to improve and take back the
communities that serve to develop and nurture us. I cling to that hope,
for in many instances, the hope of a better future is all we, as
African-Americans, have left to sustain us.
