Real Equity
Private equity companies spring up in Wilmington, Delaware.
Sun leaked between the buildings. It shined on the people who had different shades of blackness. They had begun private equity companies. They took it seriously in the fact that they would take struggling companies and turn them profitable again. That meant layoffs and firings.
“They already hate that we’re black businesspeople,” Yindo Suitton acknowledged. “They think we’re ‘bougie.’ The white man didn’t give us these businesses. We raised them by ourselves. We kept rising higher and higher while they stagnated. Well, now we’re going to step in and liquidate.”
Selma Meyer grinned. “We can certainly make more money, sir.”

Chanda sent home money every two weeks. In a small village in India, she deposited money into the bank account of her Aunt and Uncle who sent her to live in America. The place seemed so remote, almost cut off from the rest of the country. There, a festival took place where participants hurled cow eliminations at each other. The muddy, mucky sense of it had been known for centuries. Locals tied it to an ancient god who they believed restored people’s health with the cow plops. During the festival, thick patties hurled through the air and smushed into the bodies and faces of those rollicking around in the filth.
