Dr Boyce Watkins – Syracuse University: Black Scholars Coalition
I recall giving a speech at a university in Upstate New York. We were talking about wealth building for the Black community and how Black folks can remove themselves from the underbelly of American capitalism. I'd heard this school had a reputation for strong liberalism and I was looking forward to addressing the audience. A young white female in the back of the room raised her hand to ask me a question. She said "How can you support a system that enslaves people?"
The woman was clearly offended by my mere presence as a financial expert and apparent supporter of capitalism. I could immediately tell, that no matter what my answer was, she was going to hate me and wish death upon my children. She didn't realize that I am not just a Finance Professor, but also a closet socialist in many contexts. While I am not one who wants to live in a socialist society, I do understand that capitalism and socialism must balance one another in any society that alleges to embrace human compassion.

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it
seems as though you relied on the video
to make your point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting
videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something enlightening
to read?

I've been surfing on-line more than three hours lately, but I never discovered any interesting article like yours. It's
beautiful worth enough for me. In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made just right content as you did, the internet will likely
be a lot more useful than ever before.
