Most of the time if you do some digging on articles written on super successful mid 20's to mid 30 something's you'll see they come from a lot of money.

I follow the backgrounds of computer billionaires. Virtually all have a parent with a graduate degree. Marrisa Mayer of Yahoo is one I haven't been able to confirm. I started paying attention when I noticed that although one of the founders of Google had been born in the Soviet Union, Brin and Page lived virtually parallel lives until they finally met in graduate school at Stanford. It was like something out of science fiction.

came in to post this. They are quick to mention google was started in a garage, but casually omit it was funded with a million dollars from the stanford professor parents. Its disingenuous. but this is the same tactic they use for the americans who founded this country. So at least they're consistent.

These stories are hella disingenuous.

Even Zuckerberg grew up in a wealthy, upper middle class Jewish family and his father was able to hire him a private tutor for coding when he was a small child. He even went to high school at Philip Exeter Academy and was already being hailed a computer prodigy before he even set foot on Harvard for Freshman orientation. Everyone knew he was bound for success, they just didn't know for what exactly in the field of computer science.


They love playing these types of stories when they start playing that model minority card to try and shyt on black people lowkey.

CAC:troll:: Well by golly, Li Chen is doing well for himself and he was discriminated against too Deshawn but he keeps out of the white man's way and does as he is told. Why can't you black people stop complaining about racism and do well too? :troll:

Easy to fold clothes and do menial tasks (not to mention have access to great EDUCATIONAL institutions, coaches (coach K), and the like...


When your dad is a BILLIONAIRE, with a B...it's real simple.

Hell nikka, if my dad owned companies among them, a pro team, I'd do all of the things to get me to that highest level. Especially if you have a good relationship with pops. You KNOW he goin set you up and groom you to take the head of the business and keep the wealth IN THE FAMILY. Okay, so you gotta fold some laundry and be a "go for" to one of college bballs Mt Rushmore coaches to inherit the freaking C.E.O position of a billion dollar company, would you cause a stink?

You also lay your head down on the finest linens, in the biggest mansions (probably have one yourself), and drive some of the nicest cars...all the while having MILLIONS in your bank account, yeah, folding clothes and fetching coffee doesn't sound that bad...:stopitslime:

Republicans used that tactic with amazing success on poor white people (in Appalachia and the South). Of course, they used social issues to buttress it (racism, god, guns, gays, abortion)... so you get poor whites defending tax cuts on the rich because they think they could be wealthy too someday :laugh:
Those folks truly believe in the American Dream shyt :pachaha:
