[@Mikebuddy2229]

Nice video but what about these: 1. Rich Dad Poor Dad: By Robert Kiyosaki 2. Think and Grow Rich: A black choice: By Napoleon Hill and Dennis Kimbro 3. Financial Literacy and Ownership What they don't want you to know : By Dameon Russell 4. The Millionaire Mind. By; Thomas Stanley 5. The Richest Man in Babylon: By: George Clason Debt can be use as a tool to grow wealthy. The five books I listed can tell you that. Nice video though. Those are all good books you spoke about.

MUCH RESPECT! You’re always insightful, concise, and genuine. Black man to black man it’s encouraging to listen to you share what you’ve received from the books that have impacted your life. The Dave Ramsey techniques are vital; my wife and I recently completed a ten session financial literacy course that utilized Dave Ramsey’s techniques in which we’ve incorporated into our lives. Glad that you have crafted an intro for your videos, stepping up that production is a key move. Peace my brother!

[@oliververlander8122]

I don’t understand @tyler Phillips @chris coursey why you would need to divide financial literature by ethnicity? When there is already so much divide and chaos in the world at the moment why would you to try to recommend financial books (which are beneficial to everyone) to one particular race?? I do not personally find this racist or aggravating but I could see why it may offend anyone who isn’t black as you are effectively only offering your content/advice to the people of you’re colour

[@chriscoursey6112]

​@@oliververlander8122 Oliver, I am not dividing financial literature by ethnicity. The economic literature is available to all nationalities. However, who delivers that message is vital. Asking why I would recommend financial books to one particular race is like asking why America would enslave predominantly one specific race. Or keep a particular race from voting, or keep a specific race from reading. Or keep a particular race from having decent housing or employment or getting a loan from a bank. It's like holding a particular race outside of the benefits of what it means to be a real American. Since these destructive processes have been pinpointed at specific races in America, I think it is only right that the solution is just as targeted. My message is targeted toward black people, but I'm not excluding anyone. KZbin is an open platform. You can watch any video you like.

[@NathanDawson94]

@@oliververlander8122 ​ @Tyler Phillips Of course you “don’t understand” because you can’t relate to the Black American culture like I do since I am Black myself, just as I can’t relate to the European-descent American (or whatever your ethnicity/culture/race) is either and I am under no circumstances to do so. You claim to “not personally find this racist or aggravating”, but here you are leaving this comment. I think you want attention and you did it through a microaggressive way to get a reaction from Chris. I don’t go to Stormfront or go to White supremacist/White nationalist channels/websites and say, “Why the divide?”. Nope. It’s a waste of my time and doesn’t fix the issue. Chris’ channel target audience is Black people. Why? Because as compared to other races/ethnicities/cultures in the United States of America, we (native non-Hispanic Black American) are at a disadvantage compared to European-descent American, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, White Hispanics, Jewish communities, and other groups. From life expectancy, finances/wealth-accumulation, health, even proper education, and among other things. Whenever Black people talk of (economic/financial) empowerment, people like you come at us from a microagressive way, just like you and Tyler did. I think you people fear Black economic dominance in the United States of America and fear we will get our revenge from what the United States did to us since 1783. That's why you don't push reparations, but Japanese Americans got them for being in internment camps? The United States of America was founded, expanded, and operates on racial policies at the forced expense of Black people. Check the history of Black and White race relations since 1783, when the U.S. was formally recognized as a country by Great Britain, and you will see exactly what I mean. And that forced expense was slavery in the United States, Jim Crow, redlining, denial to take advantage of the GI Bill, which puts most Blacks into poverty. And poverty charges interest, hence why we have this American racial wealth gap and the median wealth of Black Americans heading to zero by the 2050s. Until racial justice for Black Americans is achieved, expect "pro-Black" content to be posted on KZbin. And if it bothers you that much, well you'll be bothered until you die or racial justice is achieved.....whichever comes first.
