One of the biggest accusations being levied against the black community today is that it can't hold onto blacks once they experience some success in life. The majority of the quality people are looking to get out rather than stay and fight for change. I applaud those who go on to fame and fortune, who make a name for themselves and find success.

The money they make is theirs, and they don't owe any debts to where they came from. They can give back if they want to, but it isn't something that should be deemed as mandatory. Blacks get accused unjustly, of forgetting where they came from when they find success, and that is wrong.

To those who elect to live outside of the black community, you are within your rights to do so, but that doesn't mean you are free of all obligation to the community. One of those obligations is to not let your actions result in scorn on the black community while you are living elsewhere. In other words, all portrayal of you should be in the community you call home, not the black community.

Don't target the black community in your advertising, target the community you live in. Don't try to use the black community for your own personal gain, since you don't see it as a place fit for you to live in.
