When you say that the vast majority of his fortune will be passed down to non-blacks than blacks, in the end, what does it matter?

Black people or anyone for that matter are not entitled to his money (if it's even still there). You make this about race, when 500 years from now, the black community will look totally different, if there is a black community at all. Racially, 500 years ago, our ancestors looked very different. In the end, it's all vanity.

Position yourself and your family so that you're not relying on the wealth of a dead black man. We're not entitled to his money. The money that was given to black causes was a blessing in itself because when it comes down to it, that money wasn't there before. Consider it a blessing and leave it at that.

It's his life and he lived how he saw fit. His legacy is in his work. Most rich grandkids piss away their grandparents money.

You're not finding any black american woman to stick around while you spend 16 hours a day working breh. No modern american woman will accept that.

Thanks, that's a great update

The Reginald F. Lewis Foundation's grant will go toward supporting the Obama Foundation's general operations and impact work, including support for the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, and other national and global programs

Chair of The Reginald F. Lewis Foundation and widow to the late entrepreneur Reginald Lewis. [said] "I know President Obama attended a speech Mr. Lewis gave at Harvard Law School while the President was there studying for his law degree. Both Mr. Lewis and the President show how education helps exceptional people break barriers and accomplish wonderful things, and I know, if he was still here, Mr. Lewis would be proud to help President Obama carry his work and legacy forward."


"We are incredibly grateful for the generous support from The Reginald F. Lewis Foundation. It's through vital partnerships like this that we are able to build sustainable programming at the Obama Foundation centered around supporting boys and young men of color and girls all over the world through education," said Obama Foundation CEO Valerie Jarrett.


In partnership with the Obama Foundation, a room at the future Obama Presidential Center will be named in memory of Mr. Lewis, with the hope of continuing to preserve his ongoing legacy and inspire others for years to come. Mr. Lewis, a pioneering financier, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, has been selected by President Obama as an honoree alongside other influential figures "on whose shoulders we stand" and whose significant contributions to society advanced justice and equality in America.

Can't help but think that Mr. Lewis is trolling Mr. Johnson, in the afterlife here.

John. H. WHO?

Not trying to be on some militant shyt, Reginald Lewis is an idol of mine, but it does bother me that all his funds go into the hands of an Asian woman and black (half) kids who don't seem to value "blackness" either.

Reginald Lewis married Asian. Robert F Smith white wife (I know he has black kids and former black wife). Byron Allen white wife. Michael Lee Chin (Canadian Jamaican biracial man) married Asian also. Michael Jordan married white (I know he has black kids). Oprah has no kids. Donahue Peebles wife is white. Janice Bryant husband is white... All these people are some of the most powerful black people (including biracials) in the western world and in less than 75 years all their funds (most if it) will be in non black hands :francis: .

That Reggie Lewis money still circulating in 2023 I see. :whoo:

Yeah, as you posted it's been 30 years since he passed away.
Fact that his fortune is intact, and still being put towards causes that were important to him by his family, shows that he did a great job raising his daughters. And that he married well.

In TLR, all y’all nikkas say over and over again that black men aren’t entitled to women and to stop bytching :mjpls: but when it’s a black man and when the black man is rich, y’all feel extremely entitled to him :mjpls:


His life. His decision.


How about you focus on making a billion dollars, then you can marry whoever you want :ufdup:
