CAA Drops Kanye West As Client

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

that black people demand these folks make the same decisions when someone is harming our community. black folks aren't without blame as we are accepting of a lot of demeaning talk and music about our community, but we were also fundamentally blocked from owning and running the media companies that grew into the giants of today, so it would be on them to stand up and make these same moves when for every community

I dont do defeatist talk. We could do it if we would just do it. We could be owners too. It's just that many negroes are content being up under someone else instead of building something from the ground up and retaining ownership and keeping it in black hands. Robert Johnson and BET is a good example of this. So is Motown. We aren't blocked from doing anything. It's just that we aren't doing it.

And again, it would be foolish of me to expect Jewish people to have the same love and appreciation of black people that I have where they would be willing to defend me. They defend their own people. Just as we should defend ours.

When this c00n kills himself

I dont want to hear no coli mods giving me a warning when i celebrate

fukk that c00n and anyone who loves him

 

[Red Shield]

this is really a slap in that face how much you can shyt on black folk and no one gives a fukk and you say Jew and everyone blackballs you. kanye aint shyt, but neither are these decision makers

black folk don't got power to punish folk all we can do is march/plead.

and the only way we could get that is by doing things we don't wanna do. So it is what it is

 

[Red Shield]

Kanye flaming out.. who does this dude have around him, like did no one get into his damn ear

did you not see the word "were" as in the past....you don't become CAA overnight, you don't become universal music in 5 years....sure, we can, and do start companies all the time, but they get bought out by the large companies - you just named two companies that are owned by white conglomerates, def jam who just dropped ye, once russell's baby, is also owned by a white multinational. there's a reason there are only 3 music labels today, 3-4 movie studios, 2 radio corporations. big business owns and buys out small biz, there is no competing with that.

you also seemed to skip where i said black people should be holding these people accountable for dropping them when they offend us, no where did i say jewish people should up and do it on their own

Them people made Nick put two hebrews on Wild N Out
The shyt they are going to do to this nikka to get his position byke in life

But that's my point. Nobody forced Berry Gordy to sell motown. Nobody forced Johnson to sell BET.

They literally "sold out". We as a people have to stop doing that. Ownership is always more important than money. And that's on us, not on anyone else.

And we can compete with those big companies. New companies are created and they rival other companies all the time.

We just need to understand the importance of ownership and why its important to retain ownership no matter what.

Is this real??

fukk him but everything was fine(and funny) while black people were the target

Salute to these upstanding companies.

It’s only going to get worse for him

 

[Manolo]

I don’t feel sorry for Ye at all. Literally nothing he says is genuine or sincere or for any cause larger than himself and his own self-interest. Even this Jew shyt he’s on is too self-serving.

He had no problem with Jews when he was climbing the corporate ladder to where he is today. Jews have given him every opportunity that’s advanced his career until today. He was quiet because he was benefitting from the same power dynamic he’s calling out now.

Since his fans won’t turn against him, he’s been above reprieve for too long and now he’s finally getting his long overdue wake up call

I feel you but there’s some facts we as black people have to accept about our community.

Jewish people have power because of their unity. They understand that there’s strength in numbers. They’re “collectivist” and focus on group economics.

Black people on the other hand are “individualist” and selfish to our own detriment. Even look at Kanye. He’s done and said more than enough anti-black things for us to turn against him and we haven’t. People still find reasons to support him but the true reason is he’s not doing anything to harm his fans individually.

Black people don’t care about the race as a collective, it’s about self. If one of us is shining, nikkas don’t care if the next is struggling. If something isn’t affecting most of us individually, we couldn’t care less about who it is affecting.

If you were to ask 10 black people who the “enemy” is or what the “goal” is, you’d get 10 very different answers. No group that divided stands a chance at really acquiring power.

It’s like a basketball team where nobody gets along and everybody guns. They’re going to lose until they learn to work together for a common goal

this aint black thing, it's capitalism. no one is going to pass up guaranteed 100's millions (or billions) in this day and age. it's too late into the era of capitalism for 100s of companies to survive on their own in consolidated fields like media, energy, finance, packaged food, etc. the final bosses were established 2-3 generations ago and they absorb the smaller players. any new label is going to be owned or distributed by one of the big guys - Sony, Warner, Universal, successful agencies all get bought up by the big 3 WMA, CAA or UTA, radio stations (radio...ha!) get snapped up by iHeart or Cumulus and so on and so on. it's too late to start something that can live wholly independently, that's not how things work. the last frontier for full ownership on a large scale is tech.
