Listening again to POTUS'S 2013 "State of the Union" address, yesterday, I heard him mention the need to protect American business from foreign competition, "like China," who unfairly benefit from their government's policies and subsidies, resulting in an "unfair advantage" over American business interests. This cant has been repeated by every American President that I have heard. Everyone looks out for their own and protects their own, regardless of its impact on their own consumers or others.
Such is the nature of trade and commerce. It used to be known as protectionism. High tariffs and inspection criteria, along with licenses were used to protect domestic interests, while pretending to pursue "free trade."
Black American businesses and professions need the same protections vis-a-vis white American businesses and professions, as the latter have historically enjoyed relative to foreign competition. And for the same reasons!
Black enterprises and professions have suffered discriminatory treatment in trade and commerce through government policies and regulations; through terrorists bombings, arson, and lynching--still unsolved or non-prosecuted decades or centuries later; and through the mythical conception that the white man's ice is colder or water is wetter than the blacks.
In short, blacks have been treated as foreign enemies in their own land, since after the Civil War, and this must stop!
To remedy this problem, which is the true source of black poverty and unemployment and crime, I say make adequate capital available to black people,and get out of the way with discriminatory policies rooted in disparate government regulations and lax legal protection.
Then watch what happens, after these final fetters from slavery are removed!
