Welcome

The Tank

The BMTT develops and supports Black institutions because they have the greatest potential to help most of us via employment, education, and health care. These three, once sufficiently realized, alleviate negative factors such as criminality, illicit drug usage, teen pregnacy, and disparate health issues. Our corporations, HBCUs, school districts, professional organizations, technology organizations, social service organizations, and churches, once highly organized and interdependent, allow us to express the greatest measure of intelligence—self and group determination. No amount of appealing to personal responsibility or moralizing will propel us forward more than group organization.

We welcome individuals and organizations of all sizes and types to work cooperatively with us to advance opportunities within Black society and to ensure its continued prosperity. Read more about the "Tank".

The Faultiness of Individualism
By Marlon Aldridge, Sr.

The term individualism is familiar to most of us and has been reinforced at many levels especially in academic, political, and media arenas. We see its evidence in the Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution; we see and hear it mentioned in academic settings as it relates to personal freedom; and we hear it being pushed daily in print, radio, television, etc. We cannot escape its continual reinforcing effects. I suspect that this is by design. “Laissez-faire” is everywhere: “capitalism, unrestrained individualism, self-centered, self-serving, narcissistic, competitive self-promotion and careerism”. These ideals negate the concept of “civilized society”. Imagine the most advanced societies getting that way with hordes of their citizens doing as they individually pleased. But more germane to the present discussion, the results of these propagandized, alien liberal ideologies have devastated Black communities regardless of where they reside. Read more...
