Where are muthafuckas going to buy toothpaste and deodorant?
Walmart and Amazon are cool?
I guess we're supposed to shop at the places that have NEVER promoted black owned brands

All of these Presidents are racist. Some differences between Trump and Biden/Harris is that he isn't trying to trick us. He isn't telling us that we "aren't Black" if we don't support him then declare Gays as his priority his first week in office. Another difference is that IMO he will do a much better job overall. Arguments can be made on whose fault it was, but our economy is really fucked up right now. Job numbers are manipulated by government hiring. Real job numbers are abysmal. Inflation is through the roof. Cities are going broke. Our national debt is out of control. Alot of our brothers and sisters are really stressed about Trump and complaining about every thing Trump is doing without honest evaluation of the actions. WHAT DID DEI PROGRAMS ACCOMPLISH FOR BLACK FOLKS? What has the Department of Education accomplished for us? Why are we spending millions of dollars in Gender education in other countries? Why are we concerned with forcing racist CACs to teach "Critical Race Theory" top our children? Do we really know what "Critical Race Theory" is? Personally, I don't want my children learning "Critical Race Theory" or anything that includes "intersectionality" because I don't believe that the gender/ sexuality struggle is comparable to the Black struggle.Then why are you excited about a racist being president?
Tesla
Palintir
Sofi
Stocks:
Tesla: Deregulation will help autonomous vehicle business. The US should totally change our electrical system. Switching to Megapacks, we won’t experience the blackouts and wildland fire safety would increase in California. Tesla gets much better margins from their energy business than vehicle manufacturing.
Palintir: Trump wants to reduce government. Our job numbers aren’t alarmingly low because we have so many government jobs. Palintir leverages AI and will reduce the need for a lot of jobs in government.
SoFi: With Trump ending the student loan moratorium, some people will borrow more. On the other hand, with reduced taxes and lower rates, some people will invest more. Sofi has a good all in one platform for loans, savings, investing etc.
Real Estate: I see a housing crunch. Affordability has been an issue but I suspect more housing being available due to deportation, renewing student loan repayments, and increased states rights.
Personally, I’m waiting until after Jan. I predict a ILA Longshoremen strike 1st quarter next year. A lot of these Trump changes will negatively affect the market for a bit, but will pump the market in the second half. Look at Tesla,SoFi, and Palintir. Especially Tesla.

No DEI...
The two black female prosecutors campaigned on going after Trump. This was the failed Kamala Harris/Biden strategy who should've been deemed ineligible due to her dubious birthright citizenship claims. Now they're talking about being meaner and more ignorant. They tried to run up on me with some nonsense a big mistake, thinking it is amateur hour.

I also see opportunity in this Trump term.
YTD(a little over 1 month):
Palantir: +47%
Tesla: -11%
SOFI: -3%
Over the past year:
Palantir: +370%
Tesla: +93%
Sofi: +95%
TRUMP IS GOING TO EMBRACE TECH. INVEST ACCORDINGLY AND YOU WILL ACCUMULATE WEALTH AND PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOURSELF AND FAMILY. Or, you can complain these next four years then be mad the next 4 when JD Vance is President.
Just to stamp this advice, the current stock prices are:
Palantir: $110.85
Tesla: $361.62
Sofi: $14.91
Summary:
All these CACs are racist. I didn't vote for or support any of them the past 2 elections. I am focused on the opportunities presented to increase the wealth and opportiunities for myself and family.
Research shows that Black representation in both majority white and predominantly Black schools helps boost the learning experience of all students. As a result, the federal DOE encourages schools to make diversity a priority — and calls on its Office of Civil Rights Enforcement to make sure minority students’ rights to an education are protected. More on that later.
Under the Biden administration, the department is investing more than $300 million in programs that increase school integration, including the Magnet Schools Assistance Program that aims to reduce racial isolation. The creation of the Fostering Diverse Schools initiative is also a new initiative to increase school socioeconomic diversity, which awarded more than $14 million in new grants.
The administration also secured funding and grants designed to diversify the teacher workforce, which is more than 80% white and female. It involves everything from loan forgiveness to aspiring teachers to designating money for HBCUs, which train a majority of Black teachers.
Back in the 1960s and 1970s, the DOE took on the mission of equal access to education for all students, regardless of race. That meant enforcement of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, among others, which prohibited discrimination in education based on race, sex, and disability.
In recent years, however, the DOE’s role on that front has shifted, depending on which party holds the White House. The Obama administration, for example, used the department to try and disrupt the schools to prison pipeline: DOE officials told schools that data showing a disproportionate suspension of Black students could indicate civil rights violations. The DOE under Trump, however, rolled back those rules.

And you can make the subscription fee back in a month of shopping ... so if they flip the script you cancel and it's basically a wash.No, because they could take in nearly a billion just off signups then flip the script on us. Simply shop black. Avoid Mexican restaurants, Chinese joints, Ford, Amazon and Walmart for the foreseeable future.
For someone that claims not to be a Replublican, you sure do parrot ALL of their talking points. That long ass paragraph of yours could come right from Fox News or OANN. You keep talking about LGTBQ people, but Trump is straight up removing any mention of Black people or accomplishments or progress from the federal government. And you know for sure he won't be appointing any Black judges so our people will be facing racist white judges he appoints. He is straight up removing program to help Black people get government contacts.
And the reason why you Republicans want to get rid of the DOE is obvious.

Google Leads Tech Stock Slump As Earnings, Trump Tariffs Fallout Weighs On Market
Google’s $200 billion selloff led broader losses as Apple, Tesla and Uber stocks suffered smaller drops.www.forbes.com
You keep saying the economy was fucked under Biden, but none right wing economists disagree. I mean you wouldn't see them since you obviouly only watch right wing news.

The Economy Has Been Great Under Biden. That’s Why Trump Won.
A simple model may explain the results of the US presidential election.www.chicagobooth.edu
"Under the Biden administration, real GDP rose 12.6 percent, rightly cheered in the report as “a historically robust expansion” that repeatedly defied forecasts. Since the pandemic, economic growth in the US has far outpaced that of our peer nations. Business investment is up; unemployment is low."
I don't know why you don't just admit you are Republican and Black MAGA. You have been here defending Trump for weeks. Stop being a pussy and just own up to it.
Trump has consistently stated a goal of reducing/eliminating income tax. That is the one of the reasons why they are making cuts in government, raising tariffs, and increasing resources. Biden wanted to spend 80 Billion dollars to hire 87,000 IRS staff to further tax us.I hope Spidermayne is filthy rich because nothing trump is pushing will help the average American, or rebuild our infrastructure.
Gays and tranny's are a distraction from the wealth transfer to people like Musk and Bezos. But hey, at least your kids won't have to see any drag shows from the soup line or running away from another cac school shooter.
You focused on the negative the last 4 years now you want to focus on the positive. Lots of people made tons of money under Biden. Yet you don't focus on that positive. Why is that? I don't remember you focusing on the opportunities the llast 4 years, and I do remember you being an angry online militant. You went from demanding reparations under Biden to just being happy with playing the stock market under Trump. Why is that? Why have you dropped your reparation demands all of a sudden.I said what I said. I am not interested in debating you. As far as the social and economical stuff, alot of it is opinion based and the data differs according to the sources. I've been on BGOL for a very long time. There have been life changing jewels posted on here and there are always posters that will argue, complain and focus on the negative instead of seeing the opportunities. If you want to be an angry online militant these next 4 years, more power to you. We can revisit this post in a year then 4 years and see how it all shaked out. The investment suggestions I made are measurable. For the record, I currently have over 500k invested in stocks and options in Tesla, SoFi, and Palantir with the majority of my holdings in Tesla. I provided the current stock prices in a previous post on this thread. We can run the numbers in a year and then 4 years.
Wait until you learn the president can't raise, lower, or eliminate taxes or tax rates.Trump has consistently stated a goal of reducing/eliminating income tax. That is the one of the reasons why they are making cuts in government, raising tariffs, and increasing resources. Biden wanted to spend 80 Billion dollars to hire 87,000 IRS staff to further tax us.
My anecdotal experience is that I am not filthy rich but my household paid over 35% in Federal Income taxes, over 9% in State Taxes and thousands in Property Taxes. If he successfully lowers my taxes by 20%, that alone would have a signifigant positive impact.
I hope Spidermayne is filthy rich because nothing trump is pushing will help the average American, or rebuild our infrastructure.

Ending DEI programs in corporate America will have a profound effect on hiring, particularly recent graduates. The elimination of Employee Resource Groups that focus on increasing Black hiring is just one example. These groups work with Talent Acquisition to, for example, attend on campus hiring events at HBCU's, host students at corporate headquarters, and open up recruiting from a few targeted HBCU's to ALL HBCU's. Companies pulling out of hiring events such as NSBE and BEYA will decrease hiring opportunities. I speak from 25 years of experience.
So I was going to post this...but the larger point here is that these companies use DEI as a political ploy and it moves based off of who is in the white house. Thats all I need to hear. My expectation is that it needs to be "DEI today, DEI tomorrow, and DEI forever"...i dont want to hear anything about bending the knee to who is the leader of the country.
What I have found is two sites that provide a directory for black owned businesses. I propose that we do a post (or use this post) to have a sticky that provides links to black owned businesses.
Here's one: Shop Buy Black
Here's one that is associated with The Target Boycott: By Black
Even dudes on here: @BronxBomber got his own site selling fragrances and other things. Lets use the resources we have and stay committed to the cause because I dont want to see these companies coming back around after Trump is out of office on that same song and dance. No, commit a percentage of your profits to donate to poorly funded HBCU and make it a yearly donation and we may think about shopping at your establishment again.
I know about that company but is the toilet paper soft?Reel Paper - Paper towels and tissue paper (Wont front the tissue paper is a little hard, its a bamboo based company)
We should have a sticky once a year to post black own businesses that we shop at.Appreciate that brother. Yea boycotting is extremely difficult in some situations. Publix right up the block from me, Trader joes is 50 min. As a Back owned business its discouraging because most of our tough customers are us, we dont leave tips like that, and literally look for an excuse to be upset with something. Not all but until you are a Black owned business it's hard to understand this weird thing that happens. Just buy BLACK. A couple companies I use regularly.
SIA - Sneakers
Actively Black - Casual Leisure (My work out stuff)
Reel Paper - Paper towels and tissue paper (Wont front the tissue paper is a little hard, its a bamboo based company)
there are a couple more that I use, Ill come back to this. Its a toothbrush company (Sister), Detergent, shaver,
My fault brother I meant the toilet paper is alittle hard. I may have to cancel that but def keep the paper towel. I have had on automatic for 2 years for my crib and my store.I know about that company but is the toilet paper soft?
I'll just stick with the paper towel.My fault brother I meant the toilet paper is alittle hard. I may have to cancel that but def keep the paper towel. I have had on automatic for 2 years for my crib and my store.
