The conversation is deeper than the caption reads. I don't disagree with Marc Lamont Hill (for a change). We measure black excellence based on money and fame when the greatest black men in America like MLK, Malcolm X, etc were not wealthy people and may not be considered High Value Men based on our communty's standards and expectations.
Kanye is one of the richest black American's ever but is he black excellence? Yes he and a lot of black streamers have wealth and fame and even influence but at the same time what about dignity?

This argument again.
There is no right or wrong answer. And it's basically mental masturbation anyway.
Capitalism is going nowhere in this country so to survive you have to learn how to navigate it as best you can.
People with that kind of money have bought the politicians.

fukk me he might have a point…. Just cause you wealthy doesn’t mean you are down for the cause and should be idolized.
It’s not just a black problem it’s an American problem. Look at that cocksucker Trump. He is stupid as shyt and a horrible human being but white people him because he is wealthy. He’s been elected twice and he is subpar at most things.

I didn’t have a problem with what he said 
nobody does until they earn alot of money are told to give it all away as if they didn't earn it.I didn’t have a problem with what he said
This is doubly disrespectful for black billionaires because they all started with nothing. At least with the white ones you can argue that they are only that rich because they were born with wealthy parents and given a head start most people wouldn't have
Billionaires are the result of extreme levels of exploitation. Lebron himself might not directly have dirt on him but in order for Nike to even give him that 30M a year they gotta exploit cheap labor and then extort $200 from the customer for a shoe that cost $10.

This. Billionaires are exploitative in nature. You shouldn't be a billionaire because you discovered a formula

This is a misleading title. They were speaking about how the concept of black excellence is used as a tool to keep the black community asleep. We focus more on celebrating the individual that made it out of the hood instead of focusing on group economics that could raise more people out of poverty together. The billionaire aspect of it came from an example of do we celebrate a black billionaire if he made his money from the industrial prison industry.
