Do you think Dame Dash breakfast club interview ending up helping or hurting the blacc community?

[BrothaZay]

i think telling black people, especially men, to boss up and never let another man own you helps the community

its an interview that's deep and penetrates your mind with empowerment

Empowerment is a female word

 

[Seoul Gleou]

Empowerment is a female word

then nikka is a cac word and we're all c00ns for using it

 

[MJ Truth]

In spirit he had a good point but the way it came out was awful.

First off, there are plenty of places you can work where you get equity in the company but still have a boss to report to.

So many people in the US have become millionaires off owning a small piece of the company they work at, while the world is filled with ‘CEOs’ who have a 3-4 figure net worth….

Overall it was a net positive as someone else said, because we got this

While this is true it also misses the point of what he was saying. Dame’s messages really rarely have anything to do with money.

I rather be a c00n then a female

 

[semicko82]

Nobody even thinks about that shyt outside of the coli

The Pyramid scheme folks use the clip as a recruiting tool

 

[The Pledge]

Definitely helped. Don’t even ask me how.

"wanting to be a entrepreneur is bad"

- thecoli.com

That's not the issue...

I've had "entrepreneurs" slick talk the 9-5 life and then start dialing 9-5 numbers cuz they were broke...

There needs to be context and nuances in these conversations...

For every Dame, there are thousands of "entrepreneurs" who would be better suited getting a 9-5 and investing with others or developing a cash flow to pursue their goals..

Definitely hurt. It helped jump start LLC twitter and caused people to look down on 9-5 jobs.

I dont think that was Dame. I put that on the Wake Up Now/Pyramid Scheme gang

I seen a dusty nikka come into a bank one day and was trying to recruit the bank teller talking about “you don’t want to do this for your whole life do you?”. They had to charge him a fee to cash the check cause he didnt have a bank account

 

[#BOTHSIDES]

I think it helped. I found more blk ppl interested in ownership whether it’s a business, home, stocks… I think it led to the creation of Earn your leisure and blk ppl looking into investing and investments.

 

[It is a mystery]

I'm more surprised that it's been 8 YEARS than anything

 

[Doobie Doo]

It feels like a quarter of all the running jokes on the Coli stem from this interview
