More black-Americans need to try susu loans. They're popular with Caribbean blacks and Asians have their own versions of this.

I don't think it has anything to do with pyramid schemes. After all susu seems to work and you know the people involved...

I'm still waiting for your evidence of these malicious and false accusations, Mr. Hawkins. Are you ever going to provide something to support your comments against me?

It is a pyramid scheme, but amongst people who all know eachother. I know exactly what it is. Everyone contributes money and when you get to the top you get the pot.

Then low and behold when they end up crying on national tv like Terrel Owens about how they are broke, they wonder why. Take a look at Floyd Mayweather jr. He's on the fast track to the poor house if he keeps up with his current spending habits.

Excellant post^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^

I strongly sugggest anybody that disagrees watch the ESPN 30 for 30 movie "Broke" about athletes being broke within a very short time of retirement, some even during their careers. True, some are white, but the majority are black.

His point was purely cultural. Generations of Slavery and poverty created that, foreign blacks who are rich can stand behind you at the supermarket and you wouldn't know either so your point is pure nonsense. It's like slavery never happened at cd.

So slavery is the reason why a big majority of African Americans have poor money management skills?
