This ^^ It seem like being pro black is the wave. I saw David Banner on the breakfast club and he was bragging about how he gets spayed to speak now. Then he dropped some quasi-woke album on us. Same with T.I. He dropped a cringeworthy pro black video :scust:. But he stilll on reality tv partaking in ratchetness for the whole world to see. I'm not saying that Jay Z and some of these other entertainers aren't pro black but they are just being pro black because that was is "IN" now. Beyoncé did a "pro black" Super Bowl performance and she sooo woke now but she can't even get on interview and articulate her thoughts. These rich black folks just donate to black causes, say a canned statement and we automatically assume their pro black.

When that picture of Tidal employees dropped a couple years ago I didn't see not one black person. shyt might've changed , idk. If it wasn't for all these black entertainers gassing up all that luxury white and asian products most black peoples wouldn't know what they was to begin with. I dnt hear Justin Bieber shouting out luxury brands or Taylor Swift. Only rappers like him doing 10+ years of luxury white brand name dropping and noooow they want to change the tide. :comeon:

Do what best for you and your family. If it's equal or better product go black, if not do what's best for you.



:wow:

:stopitslime: but trying your very best to skip paying for a Tidal subscription.


:mindblown: you guys just heard Jay-Z say

"We all lose when the family feuds
What's better than one billionaire? Two
I'll be damned if I drink some Belvedere while Puff got CÎROC
Y'all need to stop"
- Family feud.

And before you guys ask, I've been paying for tidal for two years now. It's just as good as apple music.

I been saying the same thing....I just a text...YOU GOTTA LISTEN TO THIS....than sent me a download...


Im like, "Bish, Did YOU listen to it at ALL??!!???

But they do though. Statistics show black-owned businesses hire black people at higher rates than white owned firms.

Dude, I agree with supporting black businesses. I just don't agree that a black business should demand black support if they don't hire black faces at all levels of the company. Outside of the actual artists, I didn't see any black employees at Tidal. And for the record, taking care of the artists alone is not good enough FOR ME, b/c you're only helping other millionaires at that point.

Another good example is when Roscos Chicken & Waffles was owned by a black man but was sued for discriminating against black workers.

Jay Z may have other businesses that hire black people as well. But based on that photo, Tidal is not one of them.

The funny thing is...Black people are so blind to what real wealth is...that when White people wanna sell overpriced shyt to nikkas, they'll go make a Black person a brand ambassador...

Jay Z doesn't own Tidal or RocNation outright...

Jay Z sold a third of his shares Tidal to Sprint, then the artists got shares in it.

RocNation is in partnership with....Live Nation and Universal Music

Roc Nation Sport is in partnership with Creative Artists Agency


nikkas need to stop letting these bullshyt as Pro-Black preachers make it seem like they are "independent" when most of these nikkas value is selling shyt to Black people and they are just glorified spokesmen and shyt...

These nikkas relationship with White people is fukking chummy as fukk...they ain't bucking no system...they actually perpetuate celebrity worship and striving by not telling the fukking truth...

When Jay Z was bragging about owning the Nets and this nikka didn't even own 2 percent of that shyt...yall nikkas should've known what the game is...

But nah...nikkas like hearing bullshyt from famous nikkas...instead of actual academics and people with training...



:ohhh:

fam it makes no sense. some of the most "revolutionary" shyt we can do can be done from a computer. don't gotta march, protest, fight, vote nothing. just imagine if black people in masses canceled cable, deleted al our social media, and bank black just to start...
I think back to when MLK organized the Selma bus boycotts and how that worked. No way we could do something like that now
because people don't wanna be inconvenienced

Most black folks in 2017 will directly finance our own genocide in multiple ways every single day without a blink of an eye.

But will fight, bite, twist and turn at the IDEA of supporting a brother or sister with a quality product.

But it doesn't matter since he doesn't live in a black neighborhood and his kids wouldn't have to go to those schools anyway
:troll:


Why support him if he doesn't live in the projects though?

I mean is bailing protesters out of jail, bailing fathers out of jail on Father's Day, and making a documentary for Kalief browder really a big deal

He doesn't do anything for blacks :troll:

None of those things matter because as soon as Jay got some legit money he moved from Marcy to live among the whites
