@boycewatkins: Reparations will not save us if we don’t first save ourselves. I know that’s not what some people want to hear. But it’s the truth. If we receive billions of dollars in reparations while continuing to overspend, avoid investing, finance liabilities, and ignore financial education, that money won’t stay in our community. It will become an economic stimulus package for everyone else’s businesses. We cannot spend our way to freedom. We must invest our way to freedom. Every dollar you spend is a vote. Every share of stock you own is power. Every business you build is independence. Every child you teach about money is a step toward generational wealth. Economic power isn’t about what someone gives you. It’s about what you keep. It’s about what you own. It’s about what you pass down. No government can give us enough money to overcome generations of poor financial habits. We must make wealth-building part of our culture. Saving must become fashionable. Investing must become normal. Ownership must become our standard. As a Finance PhD, I’ve spent my career studying how wealth is created and sustained. That’s why I wrote the Amazon bestseller, “The Ten Commandments of Black Economic Power.” The greatest reparations we can give our children are financial literacy, productive assets, disciplined habits, and an ownership mindset. If we master those principles, no one can stop us. If we ignore them, no amount of money will ever be enough.
