And neither are doing a damn thing to help black people outside of donations to charity or black organizations. Brehs need to stop expecting elite rich black people to save them in this economy. That's not how this works, for anybody.

Allen's lawsuit doesn't even make sense on the merits, id those channels are as unpopular as I think they are...
Two or three black people even billionaires can't compete with THOUSANDS of non-black billionaires with a range of access and GENERATIONS of wealth.

Plus, what people forget is A LOT OF WHITE BILLIONAIRES were backed by EXCLUSIVE FOREIGN GOVERNMENT BACKING and ORGANIZED CRIME!!!

You need at least 100 black billionaires to TRULY change ANYTHING.

We have like...10 and half of them are in entertainment and the rest are corrupt African leaders.

Only a handful are in legitimate business!

Though JZ and Byron are seemingly doing opposite things in terms of business and social justice, their current situation doesn't really tell the tale of either. In fact, I have no idea about how Byron Allen has really made his money and business up until now. How do I know, does anyone know, if Byron Allen has made similar remarks or shady deals to get where he is? Especially in the 90 and 2000s, where that sort of thing could have happened and flown completely under the radar.

With that said, I definitely support Allen's venture more than JZ's.
Byron is a billionaire jay is not.

There are way more than 10 lol.

You only know of the entertainers listed on forbes which is akin to gossip.

Real billionaires don’t publicize their networth

Gang violence...
whether you think these guys are billionaires or not, please dont assume a capitalist's fate will benefit you simply because he is black.

you can easily look up Byron and see how he got rich. Long story short he made low budget tv shows and bartered them to TV stations for free. In exchange the TV station would let him keep half of the ad time and he sold the ads to make huge money. He pretty much exploited a strategy no one else was doing and it paid off.

"We"?
:mjgrin:

but really tho I'm not interested in black billionaires. I'm interested in black businesses, and banks that give loans to black people. I'm interested in community centers for after-school programs to keep kids off the streets. I'm interested in free community college and access to affordable child care, thus allowing black people in all type of situations to get the education they need for better jobs. Not of that requires two billionaires, or 1000.
