“Reasons for Black American Leadership Failures”
The purpose of this Analysis Brief is to sharpen Black American (Afrodescendant) recognition of evolving change with “leadership,” and to emphasize the necessity of adopting new perspectives on what “leadership” is and whaT it means now and will mean in our new technological world. technology can enable the best leadership—actually, non-leadership where each person has a say in decision-making as opposed to relying on “representatives” to make favorable decisions on their behalf.
You may read a “Summary” of the 13-page Analysis Brief, or you may read the Analysis Brief in its entirety.
A New View on Black Americans’ Losses via the U.S. Economic Game
This analysis brief explores a new view on Black America’s “losing” role in the U.S. economic game: Operational losses for Black Americans (Afrodescendants) based on well-known inequality metrics; the theft trade (pickpockets, gangs, thugs, and the mafia); and Black American economic losses through administrative (the capture of administrative records to reassign ownership of financial and nonfinancial assets, patents, trademarks, and artistic originals, designs, and novel operating systems and procedures) and commercial operations.
“Black Americans’ Mobility Trap”
This Research Analysis Brief brings a topic to the surface about which not much is heard. We mainly hear about the nearly magical benefits of technology and artificial intelligence with seldom a word concerning wide ranging and pernicious problems within certain technological systems broadly. In this case, we discuss information and communications technology (mobility) systems, emphasize their nightmarish nature, and discuss how related solutions are tightly linked to a fundamental requirement to reorient our society from a Western World (capitalist) mentality to an “Afrikan” centric mindset.
In 2019, BlackEconomics.org released a Strategy Brief entitled, “More Than A Conqueror: One Black American Strategy. No, this goes back further to 2012 when a Working Paper was prepared entitled, “All it Takes is One.” In any event, those two submissions led to our 2020 book entitled, Exodus: A Book for Black Americans Suggesting a Way Out and Up. The latter book and a few subsequent submissions caused us to visit Brookings, South Dakota briefly in 2023, and most recently we visited Fargo, North Dakota in December 2024 – January 2025. Hence, 57 Days in Fargo.
“‘Group Economics’ for Black Americans (Afrodescendants)” explores a popular topic that has seldom, if ever, been explored formally. It defines the “group economics” concept, assesses its benefits, and formulates a metric for measurement. The state of Black Americans’ “group economics” as roughly estimated, helps clarify the extent of our economic weakness, the current level of intergroup inequality in the US, and it adds weighty justification to our Reparations demand/claim.
When the BlackEconomics.org website was first developed in 2005, it included a page entitled Long-Term and Strategic Plan (LTSP) for Black America. In 2008 we made an appeal for the development of an LTSP. However, the goal of developing such a plan was not achieved until 2022 and 2023, when a “grassroots” LTSP Panel produced a Long-Term Strategic Plan for Black America. BlackEconomics.org’s chief contributors participated as members of the LTSP Panel. At a minimum, please consider the Executive Summary.
“An Expanded Meta-Analysis of Black American (Afrodescendant) Plans”
Before the LTSPFBA volume was finalized in 2023, Sis. Yaa Simpson of Chicago, Ilinois assisted the LTSP Panel in examining several existing Black American plans using a Meta-Analysis that she had co-authored for the “Big Mamas” group. This “Analysis Brief” reconsiders the LTSPFBA along with already examined and new Black American plans to identify plans most likely to produce Black America’s most favorable future. It can assist parties interested in Black American plans to determine which plans should be prioritizedd for review.
In support of the Long-Term Strategic Plan for Black America’s (LTSPFBA) Implementation Team, BlackEconomics.org presents a new “LTSPFBA Infomercial” for your consideration. This Infomercial was developed for the LTSPFBA IT by Pastor Victoria Brady, Director of the ABJ Civic Arts Center and Leader of Restoring Hope Ministries, and by Mr. Priestly J. Williams of Chicago, Illinois.
