Casinos ruin black income and harm the community. I don't support this.
That casino isn't for us.

Its for the upper east siders & those who are foolish enough to pay the premium for inclusion into these spaces.


Harlemites & lower east siders-the remaining brooklyn & queens residents might be lured into the trap but you'd hope they know better.

Roc Nation is literally putting in $0 in this bid. They were hired guns to put their star power into action to try and bribe the community members who ultimately had to get on board for a bid to be even possible.


Jay-Z’s Roc Nation is also attached to the project, helping sell it to community groups and providing some much-needed glamour.‘


No wonder y’all run around thinking Jay-Z, Puffy, and 50 Cent are billionaires :mjlol: The truth takes about 2 minutes to find, but you’d rather spend that 2 minutes pasting tweets from Stan’s talking about how much money Roc Nation has

No matter how they try to spin and throw propaganda out there, the company is doing bad. They’re hoping SL Green wins this bid to pull them out of that sinking ship.

Once again, Jay-Z is being used as the face for billionaire white people to lower the quality of life of lower income people.

He’s an opportunistic snake that doesn’t care about black people. Say what you want about kaep, but what he did with the nfl was some sucka shyt. Not to mention funding this group

As someone with locs, I took this personally :manny:
Also he employs a Latino woman that refers to black men as ******.
He glorified drug dealing and the “hustler” mentality which is completely destructive to the youth.

You’re better than this

All the folks he helped get out of jail, paid legal fees for, etc. come on now. And I got locs too nikka

Casinos are by and large frequented by people who can’t afford to be in them, but they go anyway. A casino in Times Square or Queens or the Bronx will definitely have black folks in it.

Sports gambling has spread like wildfire for younger black people. An accessible casino is the next step to furthering the addiction.

If you check my post history, you would see that I do.

The post you quoted is going at the white people who are effectively Jay-Z’s boss, as Jay-Z is a minority owner in Roc Nation and a mascot for this project. Jay, his music, his money, and anything else he’s notable for are of little importance in this matter.

Black folks are NEVER uplifted by casino revenue, despite that being a pitch whenever they want to build one. See: Atlantic City whose poverty rate doubled even though developers said it would drop after they built casinos.

Jay-Z is the sheep, SL Green and Caesar’s are the sheppards.

They dont. This will be a tourist and poor trap. Upper east siders aint going to times square. Jay's face will be marketed with it and his involvement isnt about appealing to white people

You’re either a racist or hate Jay Z because the way you go out of your way and your language choice is crazy. You don’t even differentiate or provide any data. You lump every black celebrity together and basically call them all negroes with no power with white bosses who they call massa. You might as well just come out and say it. Jay Z is obviously a billionaire you idiot. His assets are not hard to decipher based on public record. Criticizing Jay Z is fine - but there’s no need to pretend that dude didn’t complete his end goal of being a billionaire. I don’t give a shyt about a casino BTW but it’s funny how people only care about these issues when it’s someone that looks like them. Vegas casinos been frequented by black people every time I’ve been there. Jay Z literally came up talking about him and his crew at casinos in the 90s. It’s entirely on brand.

You have an entire article posted in this thread that literally describes his participation in this venture as a mascot.

You used all those words (and didn't debunk anything that was written) just so you can live in hip-hop mogul fantasy land.

“H-h-he do like to gamble!! “He-he always goes to casinos! He got a billion dollars!!! :damn::dead:

The fact that you refuse to read—and that you actually think Jay-Z is a billionaire :mjlol:—tells me there’s nothing further to discuss here.

But since he has a billion dollars in assets, and you say you it’s publicly available, why don’t you tell me what they are?
