How many black people work for Vice/Noisey/Complex/SPIN/Rolling Stone? (UPDATE :BUZZFEED included)

[Unknown Poster]

This is not exactly eye-opening, but a great reminder. Some take aways:

Name another race that invents something and then someone else runs it, owns it, controls it, distributes it.... other than black people I mean.

It's 2017. We are fukking amazing at infighting, even killing each other, discussing and all WORKING FOR white people, who hire semi-black people (you know the type of lightskin dudes who are hood enough to know a hit when they hear it, but sniff coke and hang with white people exclusively) to control the black people who create the black music that gives the white owners their million dollar lifestyle.

It's 2017 and we as black people have not figured out that WITHOUT US.. there is no fukking Hip-Hop, Pop.

It's 2017. What the fukk do we own?

THEY own us. So THEY even decide what to FUKKING WRITE about us.

We are just standing on the side line of our own fukking game.

Can you really blame these rhythmless white dudes and dudettes? No. We ALLOW this. As long as we have a nice necklace and car, we are fukking GOOD because we are doing better than the other nikkaz.

And not one of us is thinking 'I want to do better than the richest white motherfukker on the planet.'.

Let's keep ridiculing our FAMOUS black leaders like.. let's see Jay-Z. Why doesn't he fukk with hood azz nikkaz and why is he meeting with Presidents and Mark Zuckerberg? BECAUSE NIKKAS want to show off.. for other NIKKAS. While white people do not GIVE A SINGLE FUKK about what black people think... because they fukking own us. We are watching the NBA Finals. Black people will decide the outcome of these finals. But who owns the TV station? Who owns the league? Who owns the teams? White people.

We are so fukking caught up in our own bullshyt that we don't own the fukking things we dominate and invented.

Sad, sad, sad state of affairs. But hey.. let's focus on dissing other nikkas and fukking their girls and buying this or that chain or whatever PETTY AZZ FUKKING BULLshyt drives the average hood azz nikka.

Fukk.. get it to FUKKING gether..

It's probably been going on longer than a month. Seems to be that this is par for course when you're black in journalism.

@UpAndComing you was right breh. Black folks be busting their ass to get ten degrees and a three page resume for these white companies only for these employers to hire their buddy Phil so they can have a weed connect at work.


even in that Joe Budden/Akademiks clip they showed where Joe was barking at Angel, it's obvious from their body language and mannerism they still are very uncomfortable around black people and harbor racist resentments toward us even though black music is what they make money from.

Exactly. Black people really think non-blacks making a company exploiting their black culture is somehow a safe haven for black people to work in. It's ironic that these companies see you as roadblock when you work for them, cause they know you would show resistance to them exploiting black culture even more

All these professional licenses/certficates one can attain. CPA, Professional Engineer license, Skilled trade certs, IT certs, Health related licenses, Teaching certificate, etc etc. All can be used to start your own business or become self employed. Unfortunately a large number of black people attain them for the sole purpose of looking good on a resume to a non-black companies

Yeah, I know you have done work for some of these publications.

And I'll just say this, I went into this thread going with what I knew and just with how the industry has been from my perspective....and I actually visited VICE's office on Kent Ave near the Williamsburg Bridge in Brooklyn a couple of weeks ago,.

Sometimes when I make threads liek these I hope that my suspicions are proved false, but that visit proved them to be true unfortunately.

Other than the black female security guard I saw at the front door of Vice's one story office building, there were NO other black people there.

That's why I hate on these white organizations.

It's obvious they have no problem with us being in front of the cameras...showing off our music, our style, our slang, our culture..

But when it comes to US working for them it's always the same thing...

-Thanks for applying with us, we'll get back to you when we make our decision.
-Thanks for applying with us, we selected the candidates for the job and unfortunately you weren't a fit for our current staff organization.


Just excuses to say NO. Cause they are control freaks. Like @thatdude901 said in his post.
They want to explouit black culture for a black. They dont' give a fukk about black peopel as people. Just as sources of entertainment.

It doesn't matter how "down" they say they are, how many gucci mane songs they know, how many times they traveled to Jamaica to smoke weed, or how much they say they love thier non-white significant other. They just want control, domination, and the final word when it comes to black artforms. They just as racist as their parents and grandparents. Don't let the "I voted for Bernie" freewheeling white liberal schtick over-compass that.

The Coli 'could' be competing with all these publications/sites if we organized some things in order to do so...

The content is here... And the talent is here... We got people EVERYWHERE

There are posters here who know far more than these popping sites. That's why we easily pick apart all the lazy lists and other miscellaneous articles they shyt out on the regular.

The coli is a forum I think the owners are content with that. I'm trying to build up my website with content/articles

I tried to get something popping.

I am actively trying with my website www.fteswl.com

The owners seemed interested at first. But when I showed them something concrete and asked for their input, they stopped responding to me cold turkey. That same idea is being thrown around in the locker room right now. I guess that poster was more convincing.

So besides Nadeska I haven't seen a single black face in those Complex behind the scenes videos.

shyt is disgusting.

So that means all the black folks who work for Complex are all on-screen personalities? Because they have a bunch folks for their YouTube Complex News reports.

There's a couple black writers. One is named Khal and the other is named Frazier Tharpe also there's a on camera personality who guys by Jersey Jinx.

They have people of every race there it's just that it's not as black as you'd think a Hip Hop based site would be.
