 Lorenzo Komboa Ervin, Black Capitalism: Part III
But think about this: today’s Black middle class is really equivalent to the lower or middle levels of the traditional white working class of the 1960s.
I mean, just check it out: A Black man with a college degree still makes only 75% of the salary of a white male high school or trade school graduate, and Black women only make 50-60% of that.

 The History of Black Business in America: Capitalism, Race, Entrepreneurship
Any doubt about a significant history of fl capitalism prior to the late l9th century and early 20th century should be dispelled by Martin Delaney's report in l852, one giving an idea of the range of business activities of African Americans.
Black women during this period demonstrated their capability, though their numbers were small: in l850, 438 of a total of 48,888 free African American females were property owners.
Blacks did much of this without the protection or encouragement of government, and, as Walker writes, we see in the later years the set asides of a paltry $8.5 billion for minority corporations compared to $246 billion for white firms.

While the central preoccupation of today's fl political leaders is defending the rights of victims of discrimination, little is ever spoken of the cost of discrimination imposed in a capitalist system.

Published during the cold winter of Reaganism, he introduced a new generation of Black activists/thinkers to class and gender struggles within Black communities, the political economy of incarceration, the limitations of Black capitalism, and the nearly forgotten vision of what a socialist future might look like.
So the author shows that "fl capitalism" which was a main platform for Marcus Garvey (who was influenced by Washington), and extended to Elijah Muhammed to the Nation of Islam of current times and was even supported by W.E.B. Dubois until the Great Depression--really does not work.
Unemployment went down dramatically for fls in the 60's, he points out because of the government implementing affirmative action to try to eliminate discrimination in employment, migration of fls from the south to the north to get higher pay jobs and the expanding capitalist economy.
