EllioT Wilson asks Complex editors about Coli criticism of lack of African American employees

[Rembrandt]

I don't have the answers Sway.



But just to throw shyt against the wall, you start with taking what we already have/do and organizing it. From the era on til now, this nucleus of posters have been responsible for a lot of slangs, memes and quality content that usually ends up being utilized elsewhere. Being that I don't fukk with them like that, what's really the main draw for Complex? The editorials? We got some dope writers here. Industry people pay attention to the site, we could be getting some interviews.



I dunno breh I just think it would be better to compete than complain.

As far as the money, I say we hit up Martin Shkreli as an investor

Also consider reblogging money cat on tumblr.

who serious about doing this, though?

you're one of those "as long as I'm getting paid fukk yall nikkas" fakkits huh

Don't be a crab in a barrel ass nikka.


Then again complex came to me, I never had to tap dance for anything.

As someone on the inside looking out hip hop blogs are all social politics. I got in because I was dope and a lover of hip hop but the majority are journalism grads with a mild interest in hip hop that would rather be writing for the New Yorker.

Complex isn't a big deal so you should point your fake outrage somewhere else.

Entertaining Cacplex anything on this board should be a bannable offense.

The problem with these issues are that - most people online are straight clowns. They dont do anything but live a persona on the net. Only a small % try to live what they talking about or voice their real opinions instead of being locked in some goofy caricature.

I feel a small % actually wanna have this discussion in a real way & try something on their own. The rest? On some typical lame troll/"cac" this & that just to say it shyt.

Elliot Wilson is someone I'd genuinely love to see on Worldstar getting stomped out, robbed and pissed on and then walked around the projects shivering at gunpoint while being given a lecture about not being a nut hugging, light skinned cheerleading fukkboy anymore.

I made that thread cause I was trying to make a very cognizant point.

The legacy of institutional racism in the workforce and nepotism will never end. Black music, art, and culture is now a way to extend the legacy of white privilege for those looking to make a buck from the blood, sweat, and tears of black people. This situation has played itself too many times for me to sit down and try to justify or accept anymore.

Imagine being a young knowledgeable black writer and graduating college hoping to get that big break working for your favorite hip-hop magazine...only to confront this conundrum. It's disheartening. Black culture and the institutions that bring it forward to the masses on a physical and monetary scale is yet another good old boys clubs controlled by whites where blacks are the minority of the staff. Basically the same bullshyt as a black person in America you would expect in other industries and other jobs is present in areas where the business revolves around and is based off of teh artistic and cultural contributions of blacks. Yet no black people are in abundance in these areas.

The sad thing was seeing other black people in that thread try to rationalize it. It saddens me to see black people trying to rationalize injustice, inequality, and racism in the business world simply because the weight of it is too heavy for them to bear.

Complex isnt for black people. Its for whites and non black people.

I always noticed it had an "outside looking in" type perspective to it.

fukking cacs and their rampant and incessant voyeurism
