@StewNeighbors Jews, Italians, Irish were helped by the govt, given jobs, allowed to run crime syndicates etc.
Black people whose families bult the country as slaves were targeted and derailed by that same government.
Reparations are due.
I don't have a big issue with most asian businesses but the fact is we're the only community that allows other races to own our economic base
Hair, nails, gas, convenience stores etc. in black communities should be black owned, period
I don't see black businesses in chinatowns

The Iran War is entering a new phase.
The first phase was the kinetic war itself.
This ended in a comprehensive defeat for the US and Donald Trump's acceptance of Iran's 10-point plan (which included, per @WSJ, "Continuation of Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz," the "Acceptance that Iran can enrich uranium for its nuclear program" and "Compensation payment to Iran for war damage" among other goodies) as the basis of negotiations.
The second phase was the uneasy ceasefire, which @policytensor referred to as 'armed bargaining', where the US attempted to gain via negotiations and a blockade what it had failed to achieve by armed force.
It appears we are on the brink of a third phase in which the US attempts to overturn the post-bellum status quo. Iran, on the other hand, is signaling the unacceptability of this through its strikes on US bases in Kuwait and Bahrain: it is demonstrating its escalation dominance and attempting to reestablish deterrence.
It is unlikely that the US will succeed: it has been revealed to have no solution for Iran's ability to fire missiles or drones, and until it can suppress them, it cannot reopen the Strait for traffic or protect its allies in the region. It is unlikely to have developed such a solution in the last few weeks.
Therefore, the same military-strategic realities will reimpose themselves during a renewed exchange of fire. In the meantime, the US continues to run down its magazine and the world inches closer to economic catastrophe.
The problem is that Iran's bottom line (and certainly the 10-point plan that Trump already accepted as the basis of negotiations) is politically unacceptable in Washington. Thus, it might take more economic pain, and the final realisation that an armed solution is unavailable, to force it down. That economic pain will be global, and will likely be felt by the US only AFTER it is felt in Europe and in Asia ex-China (which has significant protections).
We will cover this in greater depth in next week's Multipolarity Brief. Link next post.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc.’s chief executive officer has asked his top lawyer to stay at the firm, a surprising move after she resigned from her role earlier this year as scrutiny mounted over her interactions with Jeffrey Epstein. https://t.co/gbe4ptr8rF
@jaybeeC1 Immigrants get special loans, and black people are frozen out.
Also, black businesses are targeted and harrassed out of biz by the police.
Think I’m lying? Lookup Crenshaw Mall. The LA black community bid the most for it but wasn’t allowed to buy it:

🚨🔥NEW: The White media is trying to control the narrative‼️🧐
A Black man says he has viewed the Karmelo Anthony surveillance video‼️
He said it clearly shows that Karmelo was jumped & assaulted by a group of 4 boys, not just the Metcalf twins‼️
Also that the “official” photos released by media outlets of Karmelo were actually edited to not show bruises on Karmelo’s face & missing dread locks‼️🤔
