It helps when your daddy owns businesses or you have connections others don’t. It also helps when then government throws resources and subsidies at you because your ethnic group (ie white folks) controls the levers of power.
Neither is Trump, Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos self made. All of them have had significant both government and private investment.
This is why I’m an advocate of black Americans doing business deals and setting up business partnerships in majority black countries and areas. When you have control of politics and economics that’s when you can make actual power moves
Notice the richest blacks all made their money off of black people. Whether we’re talking Tyler Perry, Jayz, Kanye. This isn’t by accident. This isn’t a “free for all”economy it’s walled gardens. It’s every ethnic group for themselves.
The sooner black folk figure that out the better off we’ll be.
