Here's a watch company with owners from Ghana.
Personally I think they're missing on a marketing angle - "Watch ya Ghana do?"

Honestly, at this point, let go ahead and let Chy-Na have it. This country is a fricked up mess.

All that good men need to to is just stop listening to idiots and paying attention to them.

That's ridiculous. If black folks want to be watchmakers, no one is stopping them.

I say these companies and associations should partner up to offer urban watchmaking apprenticeships in our inner cities. Clearly it’s a win-win proposition.

Again, as always, I defer to simple statistics and math.
Of the 11%, how many have the inherent or have acquired the love of being a watchmaker for life.
Then, how many would go through the training to be a master at the craft and make a living at it.
Then, supposing they went all the way through to be a master watchmaker, how did it impact the percentage from the prior imbalance of them not being represented? Maybe .00000000001%
People are not critical thinkers anymore.

Makes you wonder if they are going to accuse the Mafia of being too white.

I appreciate your suggestion, and I understand your point.
Ignore the people who are beneath you.
That’s a very southern approach too.
But while we were doing that, ignoring them, these people took over the country. And that is a real problem, it does effect us.

No, the people above you used them to take over.

Stop giving them the satisfaction of sounding legitimate. Not enough BLACK watchmakers ?
How many young black men, hell, young ANYONE for that matter, pine away at being a master watchmaker, but are denied because...
Why would anyone be denied this? Seriously, if there's a market for such a thing, then go fill it. JFC, this is madness to even grant these whiners an audience !
Just like a spoiled child, the more you hover over them at the hint of discontent, the more they'll whine to get their way.

We're supposed to believe it's the jewelry cartel, huh? Is that the unspoken subtext to all this ??
Honestly.
