we have people who will hold other back and harrass them with silliness of saying they are trying to be white.. because they focus on being conservative and not flamboyant and or various flairs of sorts. but those are many time the people who prosper.. because they realize that the world does have order and it does have a standardized format.. and it's not just in america but world wide...
look around.. when we see Asian that come to this country.. they are not in sports attire every place they go and big giant sized logo's on everything they wear, they are conservatively dressed generally or somewhat general format stylish.. and they excel, they integrate without much of the stereotype being imposed upon them.. but we have blacks that go into places with flaming red and orange hair, and leopard print stuff and high fashion stuff in office that does not necessarily command such attire.. and what we see as a result there is limits to their ability to excel.. some may not like that comment.. but .. it matters... it matters more than many care to consider..
in foreign locations.. people aspire to a more traditional and conservation business image presentation format as well.. and they build their business enviornment to meet this standard of appeal and presentation.
We have ministers who buy the suits that have the elongnated suit jackets that resemble the 1930's zoot suit... and the baggy pants suits.. and the 1 inch apart pin stripes and various types of flamboyance.. and they are not taken serious when they enter various business environments.. but some never look at this and see it as a deterrent..
some people in some situations, wear gaudy designer custom made watches that look more like entertainment blingthan professional accessories to their attire, and some even think that the jogging and sports attire is suitable for various level of business meetings..and some even wear casual wear of some sort to semi high level business meetings, or meeting that are dealing with factors where a more formal presentations will be more suitable for the nature of what's being discussed. where others may come in with sleek movado and other style type of watches and attire.. it's important to pay attention to these things.
.. and beyond their concept it's does impact how serious they are taken and it does have an impact on what type of big ticket contracts they are allowed to participate in.. because they give off the peacocked effect.. and people ""don't "" trust their money to such... except in the entertainment media of on-screen stuff but the behind the screen stuff where the real money is made.. they don't get to become an intergral part of that.
We have now every place we go people with a mouth full of gold teeth, it may work in the confines of the black community as style and fashion.. but you are not going to see anyone at a board room table or in a position of power and prestige that will allow this to be in their midst when they discuss policy and big ticket progressive models of anything.
People did the gold teeth thing in the late 1940's and early 50's and by the time the early 70's came around these people were loosing their teeth because of decay.. that developed behind the gold casing.. Gold in people mouth, who have power and prestige and big business connections is mainly used as molar crown material which is generally to the "back of their mouth" and not visible in a casual smile..
There is down town a store on Texas street that sells mens clothing.. it's nearly empty of flow thru customers, and it's customer base is more black than generic well mixed of ethnicities.... because of the styling of it's offered clothing. it will probably not survive another year... not next to the entertainment plex they are building.. it just does not fit. there are other places that have lackluster sales because it either features hip hop clothing or 1930's zoot suit and some even have the $10 fake patent leather lizzard and gator which cracks right across the bridge of the toe...if worn more than a few times... and have the rubber soles that leave black marks on tile floors from cheap rubber.. this stuff will eventually fade away or be relegated to the areas that cater to it..
and then there are people.. who buy suits right off the rack and never have it tailored even for the pants length... and thus it becomes more of a deterrent to wear an ill tailored suit as it is not to even wear a suit to a event that requires a suit. so these things have to be considered... as well even managing the color and patterns that we choose for certain settings..
We have a long way to go in what will bond us in the economics of America, to prospers as a people and a community. so many things we have to think and rethink and look beyond.. just our right to wear and do as we please.. is fine .. but at what cost ?// and it may well be important to know what that cost is to you to be against conforming to some standard? if and when people factor that they may not be so quick to talk about what is their right, as much as they think about what functions for their progress.. but how to manage that to taper and tailor it to meet with what will be the most productive for us in the over-all... and that's a bitter pill that many care not to swallow.. Kids now want to go to interview wearing the same stuff they put on to hang out, and pants sagging , and their so called stylish hip hop costume.. and then when they are relegated to the lowest job available even if they get the job.. then they can't factor in why??? and they cry discrimination on color.. when it's really the image the project that detracts from what they may be capable of doing, or what they could be considered for.. so if it's more important to you to wer your sports stuff and sag your pants and look like some rapper and hip hop imagery.. then you pay the cost for it over and over and if you are happy with that.. then pay and shut up about what you loose out on as to what opportunity could provide you if you payed attention to the tradition that is part of the business community of what is America and the business of the society.
and if you continue to go to court wearing this grab then you will get treated with the image justice has of the image you bring into the courtrooms.. and you will get time dispensed to you accordingly... and you will have various stuff made inadmissible in the court proceeding.. because your image negate it more than you think and it can influence how the law is selected in the frame of interpretations.. you may not like it but that's how it is. the laws are for and of and handled by a lot of how it's interperted.. and you have a part to play in that as it applies to you... it can be your friend or it can be your worst nightmare.
this regions has many blacks that are wealthy in the sense of land ownership.. and various other things.. but they become poor when they don't gain the greatest benefit of it.. yet they may not be dollar poor.. they are business unity poor in what they loose out on based on opportunity profits that could be gained.. they don't connect into the machine of economics... of what is the american model.. and as a result they miss out on the big ticket projects.. and some that try and keep it as a all black enterprise in things they do.. loose out by not integrating... yet will turn and complain that white don't integrate theirs.. but the fact is whites do integrate theirs which is how and why they get business from both blacks and whites... We have to think in broader terms and when it's done in and thru the manner of business and the legality of business. then we don't have to be afraid that some white person will rip us off because they will be as tied into the process and any default or failure will equally affect them and they are not driven to struggle for the sake of loss or failure.. be it their or something they are a part of..
We have much to put many thoughts into.. and we can build..
We have small law firms that are black which would prosper ten fold if they partner with other ethnicities ... as well as construction companies and other things.. which are highly qualified and do excellent work.. but their all black status and drive to remain all black become their acts of segregation which cost them by making them segergated by their own doing.. something that people may not know.. but white enjoy working with blacks.. and blacks enjoy working with whites when each do so by the legalities of the states and nations systems.. not by buddies handshakes but by handshakes that are backed by the legality of contractual agreements.
We have to not be reverse racist... in our ways, nor in our thoughts.. and that is something that exit that we have to face the fact it exist before we can overcome it... and that includes many thing.. on many levels and many factions of what is life.
