sista NyOsha i understand your point completely. but what i am referring to is profit. as the author of this article has stated, there are people in this world who choose to use black culture as a commodity for their personal profit. a key component in controlling OUR culture and collective destiny is by controlling our community economically. in my opinion, it is not enough for us to just attend venues in our communities, but to own them and control the images seem inside them. but for the most part, WE are not doing this. someone else is controlling the images seen by OUR children in the venues in OUR communities. that's all i'm saying. no disrespect.
