If . the largest black
controlled , bank in
America has assets of
less than $80,000,000
and the black unemploy
ment rate is dose to
greater slice of the
American free enterprise
system everywhere.
Black professionals andV
businessmen must pur

lines in all areas through
international financing
placed in black banks.

t We must start doing
more for ouselves. It is
quite obvious that the
American establishment
does not care morally,
politically or
pragmatically about
blacks breaking into the
economic mainstream. A
few blacks,, especially
businessmen, are beginn
ing to realize that we are
on the outside looking
in.
A Logical Move
It is logical, therefore,
for blacks in their own
economic self-interest, to
seek out the interna
tional community, both
poor and rich, for trade,
manufacturing and
financing or urban
development projects.
, Blacks in the
radio and TV media. .
Here again, blacks work
ing on mainline papers,
an in network and local!
broadcasting, could'
become more prominent'
in advancing black own
ed media.
All of these advances
are possible with black
financial institutions
(primarily banks) work
ing with international
financiers and funds. '
Blacks in the oil business
are very necessary to this
whole idea refineries,
and distribution can hire '
many of our people. A
,few have broken
through. Don Simmons
of Oklahoma is suc
cessful in oil exploration
and marketing. ,
Most Skilled
Black Americans are
the most highly trained1
and skilled of any
minorities in the world.
We must put this great
pool of black talent to
restructuring our for-,
tunes domestically, and
at the disposal of i the
'Third World. '
Despite qualified
black U.S. diplomats
and others the bigoted
U.S. Mission to the
United Nation headed by
Dr. Jeanne Kirkpatrick, .
does not have one black .
ambassador or minister
on its staff.
The symbolism of
black Americans being
courted throughout the
world is growing. It w
apparant when
Ayatollah Khomeni
released practically all of
the black hostages. It is
evident in the PLCs all
out program to get black
Americans to understand
their side of being
refugees without a
homeland in the Middle
East. ....
Already, the mightiest
nation of all of Africa,
Nigeria, is beginning to
form some joint ventures
with U.S. black
Americans. Former Am
bassador Young,
because of his compas
sion and understanding
of the plight of the non
aligned and poor na
tions, is a respected
figure in most diplomatic
circles.
Climate Is Right
It is black Americans
who . must see. their
economic , dilemma and
work , at it on an
economic scale. They
must . pursue ; help
throughout the globe. .
The climate is ripe. Our
abilities- and
achievements are getting
to be known. Blacks
must take the initiative
and foment the aggres
sion to convert talk into
action and not to just
blame the Africans,
Arabs and others for not
working with them.
An Avenue
For blacks are a part
of the new economic
order which the world
needs and of which
capitalism is a part.
And one of the
avenues by which this
can be done is for black
Americans to make the
diplomatic receptions
and cocktail parties a
vehicle to form friends
and to develop an
economic base which will
give us equity and iobs.
