Look like I touch a nerve,but I do understand how you feel.The same thing is happening to several,of our businesses .We call it coat tailing. Several of our so call black owned funeral homes are owned by others.I have to stop, I don't want to get my blood pressure up.
Wink it saddens me to see this GREAT building that was founded by men & women that looked liked you & me, the ones of yesteryears that worked hard and struggled with their BLOOD, SWEAT and YES TEARS so that WE wouldn't have to endure the struggle. Guess what? The NOW GENERATION GAVE IT BACK TO THE WHITE MAN....OH YES, I KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE I TOO WORKED FOR A BLACK OWNED AND BLACK OPERATED FINANCIAL INSITUTION KNOWN AS AN INSURANCE COMPANY, GOLDEN STATE MUTUAL which was founded in 1925 and the BLACK POWERS TO BE gave it back to the WHITE MAN in 2009. IT WAS ALL ABOUT THE CRAB MENTALITY. THE CURSE FOR GENERATIONS TO COME, WE AS A BLACK RACE WILL ALWAYS BRING THE OTHER ONE DOWN..... ALWAYS..... WHAT A SHAME! WE HAD IT BUT WE JUST DROPPED THE BALL...OUR HARD WORK, BLOOD, SWEAT AND YES TEARS KEPT US ALIVE.
WE WERE A SOUND INSITUTION, ATL INCLUDED(ATLANTA LIFE). I HAD BETTER LEAVE THIS ALONE BECAUSE I CAN GET CAUGHT UP IN THE MOMENT AND GET VERY MILITANT. WHY DO WE NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF WHAT OUR FORE PEOPLE OF YESTERDAYS ENDURED AND CONTINUE TO BUILD ON SOLID FOUNDATIONS SO THAT GENERATIONS TO COME TO SEE WHAT WE HAD TO ENDURE / WITHSTAND.THIS MAKES ME MAD!
CHECK THIS OUT; WHEN I STARTED TO WORK FOR GOLDEN STATE MUTUAL IN 1986 THERE WERE OVER 20 MINORITY (BLACK OWNED) FINANICAL INSTITUTIONS IN THESE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (FOUNDED BY US AND STRIVED AND KEPT THOSE COMPANIES) TODAY WE HAVE NONE, I MEAN ZERO (0). I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. THEY GAVE US PERMITS / LICENSES TO DO WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO , BUT INSTEAD WE LET THEM HAVE IT BACK.. THEY DID NOT HAVE TO BEG, FIGHT, ETC. WE JUST GAVE IT BACK TO THEM AND NOW WE HAVE NONE.....
YES WE HAVE COMPANIES THAT ARE NOW BLACK OPERATED BECAUSE WHEN IT WAS TAKEN BACK THEY STILL NEEDED US TO CONTINUE OUR STRUGGLE BUT I COULD NOT STAY A DAY LONGER TO WORK HARD FOR THEM AND STILL NOT HAVE ANY SAY SO AS I DID BEFORE WE GAVE IT BACK. NO, NO ,NO AND NO IT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED....MY X COMPANY WAS SO STRONG THAT WE FINANCED THOSE HOMES IN THE CEDAR CREST GOLF CLUB AREA WHEN THE WHITE POWERS TO BE WOULD NOT LOAN OUR BLACK FOLKS MONEY TO PURCHASE THOSE HOMES THAT MOST STILL RESIDE IN TODAY, BECAUSE THEY DID NOT WANT US TO HAVE THAT PROPERTY NEAR THE GOLF CLUB....GOLDEN STATE MUTUAL CAME TO THE TABLE AND FINANCED IT FOR THEM....GUESS WHAT, WHEN WE NEEDED THEM TO BUY INSURANCE FROM US THEY ELECTED TO TASTE THE WHITE WATER AND WOULD NOT BUY FROM US , THEY WANTED A PIECE OF THE ROCK.... STATE FARM, ALSTATE ETC, BUT DID THEY EVER ASKED THOSE COMPANIES WHY THEY WOULD NOT FINANCE THEIR HOMES, WHY DID THEY NOT ASK THE BANKS, WHY YOU DIDN'T LEND ME MONEY TO BUY MY HOME WHEN I CAME TO YOU.... ITS SAD!
K OPERATED BUT NOT " BLACK OWNED".
WHAT HAPPENED? WHAT IS WRONG WITH US? THE CURSE OF JIMMY LYNCH OR WHAT? WE HAD IT IN OUR HANDS ( THANKS TO OUR FOREFATHERS) BUT WE DROPPED IT... I MUST STOP NOW.
