I'm not sure how many of you guys go back that far, but there was HUGE backlash when Robert Johnson sold BET to Viacom.He’ll be okay.
If he was smart enough to build one company he can build a second one. Do NOT listen to these dumb #ADOS nikkas next time though. Their ideology does not mix with business. If someone offers you $1 billion or $500 million, you take that money. You secure your future. Then start more businesses and you can hold those businesses forever now that you got a war chest. Business ideas are like rap lyrics. You’ll never run out of them. People who don’t think that is true are just not business minded.
HUGE. He had to hold townhall meetings and air them on BET because of the backlash.
Anyway, he was able to leverage that into being majority owner of an NBA team and all the moves he's made since then.
To go back even further there was backlash when Black owned haircare products and lines sold to larger companies.
I understood both sides of the issues..Black ownership and legacy vs building brand and then cashing out.
