I want to say right off the back that I stand by Ebony, Ebony is still a Black owned and run company and have maintained this for years. However Ebony has gone back and forth over the years as to whether to partner with or sell their magazine to bigger publishing companies.
If this happens I will NEVER, EVER support Ebony, just like I will NEVER support Essence again.
Why? Surprisingly it's not because the company would no longer be Black
It's all about ENERGY
The bigger companies like Time Inc, and Viacom took years to make it. It took years of sacrifice and they had to tough it out to be able to build what they have today. I'm sure there where times when they lost money, but the Universe will give it back based on your ENERGY and determination.
Unfortunately Black people don't seem to have constant determination or strength.
As many commenter's have pointed out it's unbelievable that with so many Black millionaires that no one has the desire to think big and understand the more companies we lose the less we will be able to grow to great heights.
Ebony was founded by John H. Johnson in 1945. Johnson Publishing a privately held company based in Chicago is the nation’s largest African American-owned media company.
It seems like Black people are so out of metaphysical alignment with "The laws of Nature" that they can't hold onto anything. We have forgotten how to talk to each other, ask for support from each other and be honest with each other. The ENERGY of this culture has changed the demeanor of Black people. A metaphysical truth that I will definitely discuss this later.
Ebony is like a landmark and the Black community should have been made well aware of it's struggle. Despite the trials of Ebony growing up most Black people I know had a subscription to the magazine. I'm sure many African Americans weren't aware that the magazine was struggling to this extent.
I sometimes wonder if this race was designed to obtain power within it's own community. It doesn't seem to be within our makeup to build and grow. I don't think we know how to consistently. Because the only way to do so is to collaborate, join and pool ENERGIES.
A Silver Lining In the Sky?
