    This Video is an eye opener. Every caucasian person who grew up thinking that Black people were given the same opportunities should watch this.

    I like your research, everything you are saying is true, my parents worked on a plantation in Itta Bena, Mississippi, we finally were able to move after my father rented a house and land from a black woman who was part of the economic governmental project, it was hard financially for my parents. I often think about the Arabs in Michigan, who came over from their countries and were exempt from paying taxes for 7 years, then after the end of the 7 years, they would turn their businesses over to their cousins. They had an economic advantage. More research is needed in this area. I am too old now, but I am proud of you!

    This was the most informative lecture.....putting financial context around systemic racism. I’ll share this as much as i can.

    Shawn Rochester's approach is profound. Blacks that move out of the hood go to where there's ample resources because there's more opportunities. The "hood" wasn't designed by us. This is an excellent point.

    What is said in video is so true it's also evident by the lack of comments

    Mr. Rochester is right on point. I learned some new things, was reminded of some other things, and heard some things I’ve been saying since 1986. As a financial advisor, I know exactly what the insurance agent was talking about. Until we understand the importance of leaving a legacy and creating generational
    wealth we will forever be playing catch-up.

    This event was outstanding. We need to hear more information like this. Maybe in think-tanks. All I know is that more discussions need to happen around the topics that were highlighted at this event. Great job, I'm glad that I came across the video on TH-cam.

    Thank you for quantifying the problem in financial terms. I believe the whites know all this it is just us black people who did not know it. The gini is out of the bottle for blacks and now we have to present a coherent informed solution supported by figures. Of course the whites will argue and minimize the economics loss to blacks. The whites know all these and even more......thank you!!!!!

    Definitely added more details to my knowledge of the theft of black (ADOS) wealth. His economic expertise needs to be combined with the political savy of the #ADOS group such as Dr. Dahrity, Yvette Carnel etc.

    Thanks Shawn for a nice presentation and history lesson. It would be nice if you touch off on how folks became slaves, where the origins began in Africa, who brought them over, what African nation allowed that to happen, etc. Did they volunteer than told a different story once they got to America? I'd really like to know that information.
