Who's gonna put the money behind a woke black woman? YT has a ton of them but none with the financial backing to make waves like Tomi has.

I NEVER heard of Tomi Lauren before the Blaze. How didn't blaze get her popping? :dwillhuh:

Before The B?laze she was on a shytty network that no one watches called One America Network where pretty much all she did was what she does now and angling for a job on Fox News. She's a terrible broadcaster and Charlamagne is not a dumb person but he says a lot of dumb things.

Besides, there are actual people doing this already. The problem is that Tomi, while being a shytty broadcaster and on-air personality, says provocative things. She's basically a blonde youtube comment. These things get her attention. Any person who comes into prominence the way she does isn't worth listening to at all.

Here's my current favorite of "woke" black women who have their own Youtube program.

The difference is facts are on our side

so why tf would anyone chose to do a social media youtube channel

when they can get a social science degree and conduct actual research?

Its sad how a youtube channel has more legitmacy than a scientific paper
youtube is loved more so because more people are less into actual information then they are rhetoric where they feel they don't have to do any work/research. There's a reason most people never step foot on a college campus. There's a reason most people don't even read past the headlines. Most people are mentally lazy. It aint their fault to some degree. its their parents and the adults in society when they were kids growing up. That's how teaches you how to think and why its important to do so. If you don't learn that lesson early the chance of you learning that late is slim to none.

Could we produce another sista soulja? of course we could. And what difference would it make to the Tomi ilk? absolutely nothing.

I donated to the Grapevine. They always put out some thought provoking videos. I even put the vid with the black trump voter on here. There's a ton of content out there but they all struggle to get mainstream attention..

fukk is Charla talking about

I love The Grapevine, I've been on this panel a few times. There is so much (SO MUCH) Black content on YouTube but we can't get shyt as far as attention OR funding goes.

"Stop the excuses... stop the complaining"

Yet you're on here posting.

I don't understand these nikkas...

These nikkas are always lobbying for another nikka to do something...

Then somebody actually says some real rational shyt... like there are hundreds of Black Youtubers that makes intelligent political podcasts and (not spitting "Pro-Black", Hotep shyt) and shows but they aren't on the scale of White people. There are thousands of Black radio shows that talk intelligently...but need money.



There are even Black newswires that has news from all over the world...
http://panafricannews.blogspot.com/

Nobody is gonna pay multi million dollars to see a reasonable Black person talk some sense....Charlamagne is the prime example of this fact...hell Tariq can only get on TV cause Alt White movement considers him a racist..and his "pimp" background....

Nobody pays White people to talk reasonably either...Tomi Lauren isn't on TV cause she says smart things....


But then these nikkas wanna keep on with the Booker T. Washington...pull yourself up by your bootstraps bullshyt...

We don't need more talking head buffoons in the world that says shyt for dollars.... :yeshrug:


And we definitely don't need no Coli podcasts...nobody here says anything of substance to warrant that...:mjlol:

It's actually not an excuse breh. TheBlaze is an multi million dollar corporation with an owner that's worth 9 figures and is currently raising 40 million dollars in additional funding. If you want that type of quality and reach, you're gonna have to put the money into it so it looks just as good as the competition.

There's already tons of black media/news shows on YouTube and damn near all of them have low production quality and basic, rudimentary journalism because they don't have the money for staff (writers, producers, journalists, engineers, videographers, etc) or equipment (cameras, lighting, mics, cranes, etc).

Look at the advise show for example. He's doing his thing but this is low quality as fukk.


I feel like The Advise Show has that potential with the right backing:manny:

@seveninthechamber


:ehh:Advise Show is coming up:
