She's the CEO of a media/magazine company what the fukk does that even have to do with Tesla?

The only explanation here is that she's a token


Mad :mjpls: actions right there.


Didn't even bother to check her credentials.

You sound like this dude :Madcac34:

:jbhmm:The CEO of the largest black owned publishing company, Johnson Publishing Company, a philanthropist, a member of the National Association of Black Journalists,
and just going off this listing, a host of other BIGTIME companies/organizations.



Shes also a published author, and got a business degree and attended the J.L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University in Evanston. Thats major.

Now, she is on the board of Directors for Tesla, because she IS a big deal, especially in the realm of Black movemakers.

What is with you ignorant fools coming in here with this garbage? Do your homework. This chick is black excellence.

I didn't say she wasn't a big deal. She's just a big deal in a totally unrelated industry.

Getting a black CEO of an engineering firm like Boeing would probably make a lot more sense. She's awesome but this is tokenism.

Bruh, she is on the BOARD OF DIRECTORS. Sure you can't pick up folks off the street for that position, but her duties are perfectly in line
with her credentials. She would be helping with general corporate decision making, not someone who needs to be an engineering savant to have
say so. Check the number and the quality of the brands she is on the board of. Shes in there cause she knows her shyt. Tokenism is severely dumbing
down the contributions she makes to the Tesla brand overall, given time. Not to mention, its partially about connections.

If you know anything about corporate boards, then you'd know that they are usually made up of individuals from different industries and backgrounds.

Here is an example of McDonald's board of directors:
Board of Directors :: McDonald’s

Also, there is a push by many black professional organizations to get at least one qualified black person on the board of every Fortune 500 Company.

Linda is not new to sitting on corporate boards, so she's well qualified.

Pushing to get atleast one black person on every Fortune 500 company's board is begging "white daddy" for scraps and the definition of token participation.

I got a better idea, why not start our own Fortune 500 equivalents?

Thank you thank you thank you. Like these kats don't even read.

Second damn near every board of every fortune 500 company is field with folks who are CEOs of other companies. It is an elite position that normally only big movers and shakers, CEOs and politicians hold.

Congrats, she is just on the board, but I will never forgive her for running Ebony, Jet and Essence into the ground. Yes print media is changing drastically but she did a piss poor job of adapting.

On a side note, she came in and spoke at my radio station conference about 15 years ago (yea I'm :flabbynsick:) and I couldn't stop staring at her chest. She had some tig ole bitties. Yes I was a degenerate :snoop:

Don't blame you she is a beautiful woman. In ebonys defense they tried to hold on as long as they could. They sure tried to hold on longer than that bum ass brotha who owned essence.

And folks thinking in terms of "symbolic victories":what:

Mothafukka, this is ACCESS. Connections. Not to mention this mawfukka and his "Start a fortune 500" shyt:rocky:

How the fukk anyone supposed to accumulate wealth and access if they aren't extracting wealth and knowledge from these large corps?

I really wonder what in hell people expect in these situations.
