Robert smith paying off $34 million in student loans was a useless gesture- Jason Black

[Bawon Samedi]

Jason Black is getting more and more annoying. You can't be talking this much shyt from Black people having hoes as mommas to shyt like this being useless while hiding your hand. Yea he says some dope shyt from time to time but if you talk shyt you can't hide your hand. You guy's talk about Tariq but at least Tariq doesn't hide his face. Dude is unbearable.

I usually try to hear both sides of a argument but this isnt the case right now...dude is wilding.... I dont care what his reason is

 

[Bawon Samedi]

Funny thing is I never heard of Jason Black and The Black Authority until I came to the coli. Tariq has been known and has been around for decades with his books, mack lessons, and later on Hidden Colors series and YouTube show. Robert Smith did more for black people than Jason Black could ever dream of.

Jason Black never even explains how he has helped Black people. Making documentaries which anyone can do is not helping Black people.

I mean its a nice gesture for sure but its also whats to be expected if we were to believe Ronald Reagan. If the top 1 % as a whole did more of this then people wouldn't have shyt to complain about.

But the thing is Jason Black isnt right about anything here as already pointed out, Robert Smith is already doing what Jason Black says he should be doing.

The whole post is just all around ignorant.

Instead if carrying the torch and being motivated this waste of human consciousness decides to take the very unbeaten path of essentially saying he didn't do enough.

Rich. To say the least.

Being debt free is already an advantage.

And making connections is kinda something each individual must work on.

Nah I don't agree that the billionaire is doing what he should.


This is actual philantrophy:
Bill Gates: I’ve paid $10 billion in taxes. I should have paid more.

What the billionaire here did is the same as going down 1 block of skid row and passing out sandwiches for the gram. Its a nice gesture, the people who received it will be grateful but it does nothing to fix the causes of these problems or the system that needs these problems to exist to enrich those at the top. If people actually cared about the problems then there would be none. But it pays well for these types of problems to exist...

This is probably only the second time in Coli-History that I have seen everyone in agreement.

thread.

You're making the same stupid mistake Jason Black is making.

I actually agree that billionaires engage in philanthropy as a way to get out in front of lower classes rabble rousing. In fact, this is why philanthropy became a thing in the early 20th century as a way to combat social movements from workers who were realizing they are getting fukk by wealth inequality. I also wouldn't put it past Robert Smith to also engage in this.

But there is a difference in saying, this is great and I'm glad he did this but also lets make sure we remember this crisis over here and making statements that completely dismisses the contribution by calling it useless. You can hold two thoughts in your head. In fact, I don't even think you'd have to make the former argument because most people aren't going to be swayed into silence by this gesture despite the intention.

Sorry, but paying off folks student loans is not "meaningless" especially to those who were affected.

I forgot who pointed this out, but someone made a great point how a lot of these youtube cats maybe black but they don't have any true connection with black folk at all. like whether it be emotionally or spiritually.

They just graduated into the best network for black men, the Morehouse alumni network. What the fukk else they want him to do?
His last sentence is very and shows he doesn’t really think highly of black people[/QUOTE]

That post legit made me go

 

[Vaselclean]

Silly take by Jason here and I tend to agree with him on many things.

"Tangibles" is being talked about a lot and paying the debts of these black students is definitely tangible.

"Making connections" is not something tangible for a young black male.

Shout out to Robert Smith

JB woke up on the hatin side of the bed this mornin

 

[Amused Mastery]

Are these twitter personalities even doing anything noteworthy for blacks outside of posting clickbait? Robert Smith paying off the loans of those young men is something that’ll have a ripple effect for generations to come, meanwhile this other clown is criticizing him when he hasn’t done anything tangible.

I honestly think that the majority of these blue check folks just like being negative/miserable. No actual solutions, just constantly whining and putting down people with actual skin in the game.
