Yvette is not a "defeatist" but a "realist" you morons. She is NOT telling you to NOT be a businessowner, make money, invest, etc, etc but just don't expect it to save Black folks as a COLLECTIVE. Why? Because she talks about collective wealth and not individual wealth like Boyce, Tariq and others do. Sorry if I rained on your parade.
No...lets be all the way real...
Cause we need to be all the way real...
You can't have individual wealth without collective wealth...
You not gonna get wealth yourself by being around people that don't have wealth...
That's why we have banks and venture capitalists to give people money that can't get money from anyone that they know...
For example...Mark Zuckerberg started Facebook from money that he got from his Brazilian billionaire college friend who was in Harvard with him...let me repeat that...he got money from an already billionaire that was 20 something years old...
Warren Buffett was already born rich...and he got richer...by getting money from his father's rich friends to start his investment firm...
Let's go all the way back to Andrew Carnegie....he got his start by working for his mentor who owned a fukking railroad...who was giving him investments and money
What Black people you know around you who are really rich and wealthy that is gonna give you some money....with no real strings to attached...just on some "Here man, make something of yourself..."
What Black people you know who is gonna let you fail...that's what it is all about.
Every Black person with real money got that shyt from fukking with White people....they didn't get that shyt from Black people..let's be real...
Byron Allen got his money from dealing with White folks, he admitted that shyt...Black folks didn't help him because WE CAN'T we don't own TV stations...
Real Wealth is when you can give someone 100K and not miss it...
If you don't know any Black people personally who can give you 100K like it's $10 dollars...then you don't know anybody with some real money..
And if you don't know anybody with some real money...you ain't gonna get no real money...that's facts...and if all you know and fukk with is Black people you are gonna be SOL if you trying to get real money....
And you don't get real money as some individual fukking around with stocks and currencies...you get real money from institutions and institution building..
