Being debt free is already an advantage.

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

Here is the thing. Who is to say that this situation didn't give them connections. I would be highly shocked if they can't use this situation to get their foot in the door at some companies.

Lets not forget that Robert Smith even mentioned at the graduation that his people would be staying in touch with the students. One to see how they are doing and two to get their student loan amounts owed.

Just off of that you got connections IMO.

He is right about putting these black graduates into the right circles to thrive. Jason is just trash at communication. He made a good point but it got drowned out by calling the $34 mil meaningless. Being debt free out of college is great and I know those kids and parents appreciate it, but Robert Smith connecting these people with the right circles might have been cheaper and more impactful for the graduates in the long run.




No, Jason black wasn’t right about anything he said
:stopitslime:


Furthermore if he even bothered to do 10 seconds of research he’d know that Smith is behind InternX/Fund 2 Foundation...specifically a fukking networking site specifically targeting minorities/HBCU STEM graduates who are looking for internships.




Clown ass nikka man. I can’t even right now

Right. I’m in the media field and have seen many folks make connections there that didn’t lead to shyt. There’s more to it than that. It dies by matter if Robert Smith did this for one class or 10 classes... he fukkin did something! Man one of those kids he helped could be the next Robert Smith

This right here

Facts. :laff::laff::laff: And his followers just takes it. I think he has mommy issues lowkey.

Yeah dude has woman issues. I ain't never heard that dude say one positive thing about a woman.

I remember he threw a hissy fit when that fine ass sista teacher bae got pregnant.

Dude was on his video calling her all types of names like she had a relationship with him and cheated...:laff::laff::laff:

This site is becoming ridiculous. How is this low quality posting. Its low quality discussion when you are censoring dissenting opinions.
Thats all it is. I don't be trolling most of the time. I be ready to have a real talk about shyt but thats usually when you find out that nikkas really aint tryna discuss shyt. Just get off 1liners so they can get daps.

That ain't a good comparison at all.

Giving out sandwiches feeds some people for a few hrs

Eliminating debt puts you far ahead in a country where everybody is in debt and don't have money saved.

A better comparison would be taking people off skid row, giving them jobs and an apt that's rent free for say 1 year

It's breathing room in a country where most are suffocating

Y'all saying the man didn't do enough (which is ridiculous) not realizing that groups don't rely on one billionaire to come up, it's an aggregation of efforts from the COLLECTIVE

It can't just be the billionaires


Its the same net effect on his pockets.

Im not saying he didn't do enough. I'm saying he did the least effective thing and that's most likely because he and the rest of the top tax brackets don't want to do enough. I keep mentioning that I don't know the brother for a reason. He's wealthy so I can take a good guess at his economic policy but I could say that alot about alot of people who've I've been wrong about.


But my point is more to the point that Bill Gates was making. He gives billions to charity and pays billions in taxes and yet he can still recognize that the tax rates aren't high enough on the wealthy and that the current system is locking the poor into their status.


You can say what you want about Bill Gates but this nikka is giving like 95% of his wealth back to be redistributed when he dies instead of keeping it tied into his family for generations. Almost none of these billionaires be they black brown or whatever are ready to do that.

miss me with your funky ass attitude. YOU made the thread about Jason black calling the 34 mill useless. I'm guessing you went and found out about the intern program after I made my comment, right? Cool so he's doing that. Jason's point still stands, the connections aspect is more impactful, than the headlines grabbing shyt.

And just so we're clear, you and I both know you're whole thing is you think these talking head people just hating on the rich black people. THAT'S why you made the thread. It had nothing to do with an intern program. LMAO.

yeah, Jason black makes some points sometimes, but he had anger issues. He tries to take calls on his show sometimes and people are like "hello, Jason how are you?" dude fire back with some ole neck popping ass attitude for no reason. He never learned out to talk to people or something.

A couple of questions:
  • You'd rather a billionaire dump the money into taxes instead of taking actions that make a direct impact like paying off student loans?
  • Wouldn't a black billionaire passing down wealth into his black family be a good thing?
  • How exactly do we know the amount of money that guys like Rob Smith are using for charitable causes? Him not broadcasting it doesn't mean that he's not doing it.
