Whatever your low level ass needs to feel better sir makes me no difference. I'm getting mad and defensive because I responded to your post and incorrect statements? The mind of a bytch at work smh. I just replied to your questions don't see how that is mad and defensive. Like I said your bytch babble doesn't work on me ole can't succeed in life ass nikka

You got defensive cuz I asked if you were an arm chair entrepreneur or not and rather then say yes or not you got defensive because you knew you were an arm chair entrepreneur. You could have said nope but that would've been too easy

I didn't get defensive at all. Y'all nikkas can't do like bytches and just lie when the shyt is posted for everybody to see. I answered your question and you didn't like that I mentioned money. I'm not no fukking movie producer so why would I know about your struggle film shyt so I spoke on what I'm good at. I make money and if you don't want to believe that so you can feel you won an Internet discussion so be it but it doesn't change reality. I could've said nope but that's not reality but you wanted it to be so you can wag your e finger.

I asked you and @FruitOfTheVale the same questions. In one reply he ran the resume and chopped up game. You are on your fifth reply right now saying this

You could have said you weren't a film producer in your first reply but I can tell that arm chair entrepreneur comment stung you harder than I thought so you wanted to look like you knew your shyt

Hence the paragraph
I'm not applying for a job my G. I was just clowning because you really thought your friends you should know were serious even though they talked about doing it. The arm chair entrepreneur would sting if it was true. I understand you're trying to use the community college psychology so I can prove to you I do my thing but I just don't care. I like people online thinking someone is mad because they respond to their questions even though it makes no sense. I'm on my fifth reply but you're also replying back so how can you not claim that you too are stung by what I said? Logic sir use it. I type the paragraphs all the time when addressing the points a person post. You're not special in that regard but just like a bytch you would like to think so.

The bolded is why you are clown and why I question if you really are entrepreneur. Yes, 15-20 years ago I tried to empower my black friends and create opportunities for them . While it didn't work out I am not ashamed of trying to practice black economics. All Entrepreneurs make mistakes but only other entrepreneurs understand that.

Above the fray.
Any mothafukka will smile for a check. It ain't a good look for somebody who literally peddles pro black cinema but won't hire a black film crew.

It doesn't matter if I'm a clown to you sir. It changes nothing IRL. Now that we've gotten I'm a clown in your opinion out the way how does the rest translate into not being a entrepreneur? You have to make sense sir. Just because I clowned on one thing doesn't equate to not being able to make money. Only someone in their feelings would say some dumb shyt like that. You clowned me for a mistake so you can't be an entrepreneur. Sir that logic is wild silly.

I never said you should be ashamed I'm just saying you should know your friends already and know who are and aren't just dream talkers. I'm sorry you got offended by that because I said it in a certain way. I know my friends and who is and isn't about certain things even though they talk big. That's part of being a friend/family IMO. You're just sensitive because like most online you take typed words and read them in some emotional way like I'm seriously cursing you out or something. Everybody makes mistake and you don't have to be a fukking entrepreneur to know that sir.

I need to get better at communicating online because I see too many of y'all dudes take the innocent comment even though filled with curse words more serious than they are. My bad on that sir but I still meant what I said about knowing your friends. You seem to be trying to do the right thing so I don't want to clown you anymore so again my bad about posting in a way that you thought was more serious than it was. Peace.

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
shyt, I understand. I have tried to get so much shyt off the ground with my homies and for one reason or another someone is always bullshytting. Eventually you get tired of trying to make shyt work so you reach out to someone not in your circle cuz getting the project done correctly is more important than forcing a half assed effort out your boy.

Same concept with Tariq and what he's saying. He would rather have people get the job done right cuz people will still pop shyt with a all black cast anyway if the results are unprofessional.
This would lead to the belief that you and Tariq think you can’t find black people of equal value to the white ones he used.

Ok let’s say you tried and failed to HIRE an all black professional team. I say hire, because he paid the white guys right? So don’t compare free black people to them. If you paid the white men, then the black people should have the same budget.....


But ok. You couldn’t find a whole team at the same price/quality..... you couldn’t find one? There was not a single qualified affordable black man to fill any role on your production?


Come on now. It’s bullshyt. Just say you went for the cheapest option and they were white so you did that. That’s business 101. Nothing wrong with that. But you need to be pro black so you gotta explain why they was white. So now you add in the extra disses about what the black people wasn’t providing, cause you lying and never looked.

classic scumbag move.

White supremacists are white people and he diss them not stop. So basically these white people that work for him and with him must don't like white supremacists their selves

How is it a diss if a person is a legit white supremacist ?

If you actually took the time to read my whole post you would see at the bottom where I said a majority of these ideas were their ideas and yes many of them had experience on some level doing this just not in the capacity of what they were trying to do.


I don't even know what the bolded means? Am I supposed to run out and hire people when we don't have a budget?? Should Lebron have not gave Rich Paul a chance with this mentality?


Again, not trying to be funny, but what projects have you put together? Cuz I am doing this independently out my own pocket not being backed by anyone else or a corporation. You don't have the money to do it how it's "Supposed" to be done all the time. Sometimes you gotta just get out there and make it happen.
But you're in Raleigh N.Carolina though.
Tariq lives in the film capital of the universe.
Everyone from around the world goes there to try and get noticed. No one goes to the Carolinas trying to work in the film industry.

Um, why do you think the Atlanta film industry is soo big? NC Governor Pat McCrory did not renew the tax breaks to film crews who spend 250K or more in the state and all the TV/Film productions moved to Atlanta about a decade agow here they are now. NC was the 3rd biggest film location in the country behind LA/NYC. I met plenty of celebs and crew down in Wilmington,

I have created TV shows in Raleigh-Durham locally, I have made short films, started real estate ventures, invested in restaurants, started a record label and publishing company and a lot of nikkas in this thread are paper militants and paper entrepreneurs.

They talk that shyt on a message board but have never put these ideas into play. All my ideas stem from brainstorming with my homies while we drink and smoke and when it comes time to put shyt in effect they always find reasons to walk away from it due to shyt work ethics. I have had homies call me asking them to help get their ideas off the ground only to be THEE only nikka working while they start another project they won't finish with someone else.

I have lost a GRIP of money, connections and time dealing with my friends trying to get them a stream of incomes because I believe in black empowerment but they don't, want or can't (I.e. Felonies) work a traditional 9 to 5. All those projects I mentioned in the first paragraphs were all their ideas they roped me into and I end up completing the shyt myself or taking it over.

That's the thing about the Coli, it tries to make being pro black and militant sexy. This shyt is fukking hard when you log off and you really about that life. People don't give a fukk about none of the shyt you do until its financially lucrative. I started mentoring black children on weekends cuz during a drinking smoking session 5 of my homies thought we should help out the next generation and reach back. Guess who was the only one out of the 6 of us who went down to the Hayti Heritage Center and signed up for the program???? "Uh, uh I gotta work." "I got felonies if they run a background check." I've heard it all.

Getting any project done with ANY CREW is a goal in itself. The only people who disagree with Tariq are people who have never done shyt and think this shyt is a cake walk.
EX fukkING ZACTLY
Ive lost money and time too breh

Its always some bullshyt ass excuse too

or this mufukka wants to steal
or this mufukka says “just holla at me when you making a blockbuster”
or this one claims its their dream to produce, but cant write worth a fukk
or this mufukka with zero credits thinks they are above being in a pilot or youtube show


people would be surprised
