Just looking at these comments I can legit see a reason to why people would want to start attacking cacs....But it was a few namely 3 in there trying to stand up to the masses.....I really need to stop looking at the comment sections because to me that shyt is the truth and how people really feel about stuff...If you can look at that and not get heated I salute....

I really don't think black folks have 1 trillion in spending power. And even if we did, one day isn't enough to make an impact. We need to do it for the foreseeable future.
And the larger key is to do business with black owned & operated. There's quite a good # of black owned, white operated businesses out there, those can kick rocks.

I really don't think black folks have 1 trillion in spending power. And even if we did, one day isn't enough to make an impact. We need to do it for the foreseeable future.
And the larger key is to do business with black owned & operated. There's quite a good # of black owned, white operated businesses out there, those can kick rocks.

I agree he was off with the trillions but Black people spend multi mullions in the consumer market on things. He's talking about boycotting certain things which is what people here talk about doing which I think is possible.

 

[notPsychosiz]

who da fukk is this dude

Lord Jamar from Brand Nubian. (I actually was about to post that vid, so to Knicksman)

He's a Hip Hop legend...
5%er...
You might also recognize him as "Supreme Allah" from the show Oz.

He is one of the only people in rap right now talking any sort of sense.
