Bruh I wasn't even trying to talk down..its just these past couple day ppl have gone overboard with it...I understand it serves a purpose....but when ppl start putting all these extras on it like they are now...it takes the focus off of what is more important...
Representation wouldnt matter as much if we had more ownership.......
- Thread starter King Jae
- Start date
... anything positive to contribute without insulting ppl for having a different opinion? If not put thread on ignore...thanks...No...but I have heard we need more black owned movie studios...as well as engineering firms....I give u 2.5 trolls out of 5...step it up
The crazy part is it didn't take them that long either...maybe like 30-40 after ww2...granted they got free money...but it's what they did with it..like anything else in life...
unfortunately too many black folks simply dont want self representation...
cuz if cacs dont bring it to us then we feel like its worthless...
whatever happened to the saying if u want something done right then u gotta do it yourself??
shyt even tulsa black wallstreet actually got rebuilt after the massacre and was doin good again
it wasnt until social integration that they got shut down....

#BarsWas thinking similarly earlier after reading about the Jamaican women's bobsled team's ordeal.
For those not in the know, aside from the Cool Runnings flick from some years ago, the women also compete and have a squad at this year's Winter games. Their coach, a German woman, for whatever reason was demoted from head driving coach to track performance analyst. Needless to say she wasn't too happy and decided to quit entirely, but here's the kicker. The $50,000 (yeah 50 racks) sled that the Jamaican team was using was leased by her, was in her name, making her legally and financially responsible for it. So when she quit, the sled went with her. Only if the team would pay her for the sled would she allow them to use it. So they team was temporarily without a sled until Red Stripe stepped in and financed a sled for them.
To me, that's as illustrative as it gets about ownership vs representation.
Women's Jamaican Bobsled team = represented at Olympics
Original sled = leased by a German woman until she got pissed and left and took the bobsled with her
New sled = fronted by Red Stripe
The irony of Red Stripe is although it's widely known as a Jamaican lager, here are the two men who started it.
It was eventually purchased by a company in London and now owned by the Dutch company we're familiar with, Heineken.
Think about that, the land that produced iconic music, iconic foods and drink, an iconic culture, and renowned figures such as Garvey and Bolt, has it's women representing at the Winter Games in 2018 for bobsledding. And their country couldn't even front them a sled.This is textbook "representation", but not true ownership. And as I pointed out it's not just current, but a history of a lack of ownership.
He/she is projecting. Whenever a black person on here brings up ownership, all the Stockholm Syndrome, 9-5 plantation negroes start projecting, "you talking about black ownership, but you's probably working for a white man right now" No nikka, you are.
Most of the nikkas on here who talk about the importance of ownership are business owners/self employed. Myself included. These nikkas arguing against ownership are the ones minimizing The Coli screen when their white boss/managers walks by.
I know bruh but I just don't understand why they feel the need to try to derail a topic they have no interest in...if I don't like sumn I ignore it and keep it moving...keeps my blood pressure low as well
They derail because they're c00ns who are happy with the current status quo. It's always c00ns or cacs who try to derail these ownership threads.I know bruh but I just don't understand why they feel the need to try to derail a topic they have no interest in...if I don't like sumn I ignore it and keep it moving...keeps my blood pressure low as well
