Marc Lamont Hill doesn’t like the concept of “black excellence” because he thinks black billionaires shouldn’t exist

But apparently he is the overwhelming favorite on the show. So everybody is telling on themselves. This is what a lot people in this demo identify with.
:hubie:
he full of shyt and it's so easy to see

nikka said trans people can have babies, he panders to who ever will cut him a check

He’s got the erudition and credentials to command respect but no one feels confident enough to call him out because Marc will drag them to the deep end on some other topic.

its a shell game. Bruh crashes out over gaza and muslims (why he got fired from CNN) but then claims to care about the subsaharan diaspora and neglects the impact of islam.

He isn't wrong and this isn't a straightforward subject matter.

To put things simply. There are black billionaires and multi millionaires. How much does it benefit the community?

Individuals become rich who time and time again put their own self-interests first.

Ideally, I think the community would benefit more from cooperatives or syndicates.

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.
The worship of wealth in this country has led to a lot of it's problems. People associate wealthy people as someone that's smarter and better like they're someone to look up to and a majority of them got their money through inheritance or they have leveraged their family ties to get into positions of power. People used to call Elon a genius but Everytime you hear him open his mouth he proves that he's far from it. He didn't build any of the things he's famous for the engineers around him did. He just brought the company and the accolades that came with it. An even bigger one is Trump. The executive producers for the Apprentice came out and apologized for how they portrayed him. They used a TV show to make him appear to be a savvy business man when his track record has been far from that. But because he's rich and gives off that image people bow to it and believe it

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.
You cannot be a billionaire and also be ethical. In order to acquire that level of wealth you have had to have done something ethically wrong or ambiguous to acquire it.

nobody does until they earn alot of money are told to give it all away as if they didn't earn it.

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
No human being has done a billion dollars of work.
