how would you use your college degree to help imrpove the black community?
welp, i plan on being an urban planner/civil engineer.....so here goes...
my plan would be to get rid of the black comunity.....whoops...i mean get rid of the ghettos...
i would work out a way to give poor blacks a better quality of life by getting rid of ghettos and giving an opprotunity to attend good schools and enjoy suburban life...then i'd turn the ghetto into an entertainment district where black people make money off of whites comming from the suburbs to spend thier money...then i'd destroy all of the public housing and build expensive condos where i charge white buisness mega bucks to live in the city close to everything...
poor people of any race do not do well when they are clustered together....look at the idian reservations out west, the barrios out west, the poor rural white areas of the south, appalachia! it doesn't matter what skin color you are, poor people clsutered together just don't do well period...
so as a future urban planner, i'm going to help pass laws that gives tax breaks to apartment communities that reserve at least 10% of thier units for low income families...that way, low income families can move out into new developements out in the suburbs instead of being clustered in one place...they will attend nice schools, be away from crime, and just have a better quality of life period...i don't believe that anyone should not be able to live in a safe area with good schools just because of thier income...
then, we can turn the inner city into like a night hot spot...clubs, returants, gym clubs, payless outlets...botiques....stuff that white people like...kinda what they got going here in columbia...this place called 5 points...i guess it was a former slum located next to an industrial area, and now it's full of shops and clubs...white people come from the suburbs into this once destitute area to spend thier money on weekends...the only thing i'm mad about is that alot of the stuff isn't black owned...i would try to encourage blacks to OWN the new buisnesses...that way blacks make money in thier formerly impoverished area instead of it seeming that the crackers kicked all the n!ggers out and found a way for the area to prosper...
yeha then the condos come in... 8-) (nessa)
Well, I'm planning to get a B.S. (I hate how this looks) in Biological Chemistry and with that I plan on becoming a cardiologist. Heart disease is the numero uno **** of African-American men and women (next to ****/HIV). So, I hope to develop better treatments or even perhaps a cure, for heart disease and rid the not only the black community, but the world community of this horrible affliction as well.
My goal as an entrepreneur is to develop sustainable businesses in African-American communities that will attract and concentrate young, motivated professionals and intellectuals. The end product will be urban neighborhoods that are a center for cultural development and excellence.Basically, my objective is to engineer a second Harlem Renaissance. It is very possible with the right planning and input. There is a lot of funding available for urban redevelopment, and great talent coming from the Black community in business, the arts, social sciences, and marketing.A business-minded person can acquire run-down property and create an entertainment and retail district targeted to people like us - looking for an upscale place to shop, socialize, and do business with others like ourselves. The real estate is available in cities all over the US.This isn't just an idea, it's already in action. Check out The Baltimore Renaissance Foundation, Inc.. If any of you are serious about entrepreneurship and urban development, get at me! Moves are being made, and you can be a part of it.
