The Power of Concentration----Neither Segregation Nor Integration
Don’t ask me if I want segregation or integration. I don’t want either one.
I want what everybody else in this country already claims without asking permission — the right to choose my community, control my resources, and hold the same power to determine my destiny.
Look around America.
Every immigrant group comes here and immediately finds their own.
The Chinese immigrant? He doesn’t scatter himself thin. He builds Chinatown. The Cuban immigrant? Little Havana. The Mexican immigrant? Little Mexico. There are Germantowns, Greektowns, Koreatowns, and Polish towns across the map. Nobody calls it “self-segregation.” Nobody accuses them of hating America. These communities are seen as culture, pride, and economic power.
But try to find a thriving Black town today — one that is self-owned, self-sustaining, and protected from outside destruction — and you will find only shadows of what once was.
We had them. Harlem. Bronzeville. Tulsa before 1921. Rosewood before 1923. Each one was dismantled by a combination of outside violence and inside neglect. We allowed ourselves to be told that integration into other people’s institutions was progress, even if it meant scattering our strength and losing our base.
Here’s the political math they never teach you:
The Constitution is built on majority rule. If the majority wins, the minority loses. If you break the minority into small, scattered pieces, they can never consolidate enough power to win anything. Other groups know this — that’s why they build together.
We keep breaking ourselves apart.
The Black Infrastructure Trust (BIT) exists to reverse that mistake.
We are building Black concentration without isolation — not walls, but anchors.
Anchors in housing, healthcare, and economics that make it possible for us to live anywhere without losing everything.
Housing as a Base of Power
BIT's primary goal is to acquire land and property in concentrated clusters — not to keep people out, but to keep wealth in. We will turn abandoned buildings and empty lots into affordable, member-owned housing. We are not renters in somebody else’s empire; we are owners in our own network.
Here’s how it works:
Members contribute monthly to the BIT Housing Fund. BIT buys properties, renovates them with Black labor and Black-owned contractors.
Members who live in these units pay reduced costs and earn equity credit for every year of membership. After 10 years, that equity can be converted to cash or borrowed for a business, education, or emergencies — using our own infrastructure as collateral, not a predatory bank. The more housing we own together, the more secure we are against gentrification, eviction, and displacement.
Healthcare as a Shield
Here’s the difference:
Preventive care will be free at point of service for members.
Mental health support will be a baseline offering, not a luxury. Eldercare and maternal care will be culturally competent and rooted in trust, not suspicion.Every dollar spent on health stays circulating within the community, paying our own doctors, nurses, and support staff.
Not Segregation. Not Integration. Concentration.
If Chinatown can thrive without apology, so can Blacktown — not as a single place, but as a network of strongholds.
BIT is that network.
We will be the people who say, “Our housing, our clinics, our schools, our banks, our food — all of it under our control.”
Not to separate, not to assimilate, but to concentrate.
This space was built for those who are tired of the hypocrisy and are ready to create solutions.
I’m not looking for followers—I’m looking for those who are committed to Liberation under Black management.
What I’m here to do is connect with like-minded people ready to move—ready to think differently, build differently, and live free on our terms.
This is about one thing:
Liberation under Black management.
Until the next episode:
Stay sharp. Stay Building. And stay Black on Purpose.
