I cannot overstate how enthusiastic I am for BASPs (black anglo-saxon protestants) to rise and turn things around.
100 years ago they were a very conservative and good group of people. I believe things can be turned around and they can be again if they acknowledge they're BASPs

There are different ethnicities within “white” and Anglo Saxon was denoting the specific ethnic heritage. White, English, and Protestant. Sociologists in the 60s modified the term for blacks who followed white culture calling them BASPs. While wealthy is true, white is better.

If the W in WASP stands for white then are the wealthy black Americans that live in Maryland, Virginia, around Atlanta, etc….

No one alive today believes in blood and soil nationalism though.
It also is tricky to use this argument considering how big America is now and how much non-WASPs and non-BASPs have contributed to the US since 1776.
Europe, Africa Asia can do this type of nationalism though.

tbh I actually agree w/ "blood and soil" nationalism typically used by wignats. USA ( others) are for "founding stock" and its ppl, and all guests should respect it
but re: "founding stock" (in USA at least)
-it doesn't include *all* whites
-it includes *not only* whites

Information asymmetry is a major barrier to access to finance by Kenyan SMEs.
Business advisory service providers (BASPs) play a critical role as an incubator of SMEs, helping them to speak the same language as financial institutions (FIs).
