Pt-4 ( Final Part ) Las Vegas and African Americans ( 2013 ) !

My fellow entrepreneurs you can not set up a table on public property and sell anything, especially if you are African American ! A policeman will drive up and ask for I.D , business license and permit, missing any of those, your product will be confiscated and you will receive a ticket to show up in court ! So Brothers and Sisters here is the Kicker, it is okay for are Latino brothers and sisters ( NO PAPERS ) to sell what ever and were ever they want ? It is hard to get research on successful blacks in Las Vegas, because from my 13 year perspective, blacks with money stay among them selves. Doctors, Lawyers, Politicians, Businessman, Athletes and Entertainers keep and network among them selves.We have only 3 media outlets in the African American community, two publications and both of them cater  or only publish articles on blacks that are already successful,  not the struggle.! We have one radio station KCEP Power 88 and I have mad love for them, they are truly down for the community and the struggle ! Finally hear is the good news Brothers and Sisters there is plenty of opportunities for us African Americans in Las Vegas ? We can start by investing in rebuilding the West Side infrastructure starting by remodeling homes. We can start having  our own African American Town, with shopping centers and Black owned retailers, that also own the buildings ! We can start non profit Entrepreneur Groups to raise capital ( venture capital ) to invest in black business.We can pull our wealth together to start the first African American Community Bank on the West Side ! We can start buying all available land west and north to expand our African American community ! Invest in job training, health clinics, and make sure we start policing our own neighborhoods to keep our kids safe ! There is so much opportunity for us African Americans in Las Vegas we just have to want it, do it and believe it !
