The fact that you reduce black men’s endeavor for serious entrepreneurship into a “vanity project” says it all


Exactly. These brehs are cacs and/or c00ns. As a big Lavar defender i'm disappointed this dude really let this emails go unread and letting Alan handle everything. He fukked up big time with that. But these nikkas celebrating are pathetic. They claim they would support Lavar "if he acted properly" but at the end of the day, Spencer Dinwiddie has his own black owned shoe company and no one gives a shyt. BBB was only popular because of Lavar's antics. That's how they got the FB show and everything else. Zo might not be on the Lakers if not for Var's hype man shyt.

Alan handled the business and Lavar was the showman. Doesn't excuse Var not checking the emails or listening to Zo when he first brought it up. Definitely fukked with that smh. Sad to see it come to this

How did he cost his son millions of dollars?

Companies were waiting to sign Zo, especially once he got drafted by the Lakers. Instead he went with BBB and lost out. He'll still get a deal now that he's done with BBB but he could have been going into year 3 of a deal right now, instead of starting from scratch.

And now he'll get a lower deal if anything due to the Lonzo not really living up to the hype.

So you’re saying black men shouldn’t bet on themselves and control their own destiny to make 9 figures..?? What you’re saying is that nikkas should always take while corporate America’s valuation of your marketability as opposed to owning your own brand and multiplying your bottom line?

No you make informed decisions after doing months to years of research... You don't hop into an industry you never worked in, know nothing about, and talk shyt to established billionaire companies, and think it's gonna work out for you

I use a computer and phone all day... I'm sure eveyone on the coli does.. I'm sure together we have a lot of time invested in the fields, maybe even have some education, maybe even put together some websites and programs and even maybe an operating system between all of us..

If someone told me to go into business to compete against Microsoft tomorrow, I'm not going to go on national tv daily, and shyt on Bill Gates, Apple, and Samsung before I even get my first product on the market.



As a black man with 3 businesses, I can tell a lot of people give harmful advice because we are black. Get that money black man... Sell that shytty product... White people put out shytty products, you go ahead and put out shytty products too... fukk them... Get your hustle on..

Nooooooooooo.... That's how you wind up here... No.... get SMART money black man... Sell GREAT products black man... White people doing shytty shyt, DO NOT follow that route... Use them to build your own shyt.... Go get a shoe deal, use their money and power and PR to build your name up... Then leave them on the resign, after you soaked up game, and do your own shyt with their great press runs they gave you....... Jordan did it.. Shaq did it.. Damn Marbury did it.... Klay said fukk the big three and getting $80 million from China.... but first they had to learn the game and take the money and knowledge out the back door

If you gonna buck the system... Have a goddamn plan... We cannot operate like them and expect the same results
