BOSS: The Black Experience in Business | PBS Documentary

[UpAndComing]

Easily one of the best documentaries I ever watched



This should be shown in every black junior HS, High school, and University in America

I love PBS

They’re very insightful on the black American experience

I always learn something when I watch a documentary from them

The Jay Z portion was totally unnecessary and cliche

Man I'm so used to my mentions being some geek taking a random shot at me for something I said weeks ago, its refreshing to see something inspiring like this. I'm about to locate a link to watch or purchase this now.

That montage at the end with Ida B. Wells, George Washington Carver, Booker T. Washington and other early black successes just gave me pause. We as black people really followed W.E.B Dubois to beg for a seat at the white mans table and completely gave up trying to build our own communities.

100 plus years later and we're still marching and begging

You can get it on Amazon Video now for $6. 2 hour long documentary

Its Crazy. Just think, we are begging the oppressors themselves to stop oppressing us. Pretty mind boggling actually
We are begging for a seat at the white man's table, instead of crafting and building our own table

Ferguson wasn't begging.

Baltimore wasn't begging.

advocated for reparations isn't begging.

either you truly trying to build for all or your trying to build for you and yours under the guises of inclusion at the expenses of your own people.

and that doesn't come without the redistribution of the ill gotten gains that created this very nation that we are rightfully entitled to.

but what's so naive about this statement is, it implies that black folk back then weren't advocating for their various rights along to be recognized as human beings in the United States

don't be mad at me you don't understand and view history through a tunnel

and see funny thing is, I don't have a problem with black entrepreneurship at all

but headass brehs like you only big it up out of some weirdo obsession of seeing yourselves at the top of the pyramid when it comes to black folk

ya transparent is all I'm saying.

I'm ready... I think I'm finally at that point to make my mark and I need encouragement.

In what field/sector do you want to make your mark in?
