you realize we don't have the numbers right?

Neither do Jews. But, they’ve gotten smarter about forging alliances with their broader global community and have only engaged Black people when strategically necessary.

It’s just strange to hear Roland and guests talk about Black and Latino one second and then talk about the premium of whiteness the next second.

Above the fray.
The numbers he pulled out at 1:13:00 :wow: :damn:


I read the Billion Dollar Bet.
Roland mentions the difference in ad rates, but not the backstory.
Bob Johnson had shifted into a near 24/7 rap video fest at BET. This lead to older viewers tuning out and the ads being targeted to teens and people in their 20s. He got less for ads, but because the rap videos were given to him for free, Johnson made money hand over fist. He had minimal production or licensing costs for content. That was his business model.
