That's the problem. Black celebs do give and people ignore it. Oprah has put hundreds of men through Morehouse. She even gave Shaun King a scholarship. It was just in the news when he was accused of being all white.

We really need access to a printing press....we simply don't have enough wealth right now even including our richest to fund ourselves 100%

Umar Johnson was right about opening the door saying that things like homosexuality, alcoholism, and materialism are in your DNA. Then everything is in your DNA leading to eugenics.

I'm surprised people didn't know about the GoFundMe account. It has been up for 6 months. Looks like he got a few thousand today from this interview.

He is right about the lack of a professional inventory. It is not just a problem with blacks but the entire US. We have too many elementary school teachers but not enough high school math, physics, and chemistry teachers. Europe and Asia do a somewhat better job of limiting degrees.

Umar Johnson still saying he has a Ph.D. at 38:30.

Gawly excellent interview. I look at duke 100 % different. Major props to the brotha. Tired of these c00ns hating on people like Umar.

I'm not talking about the scholarships. I'm talking about funding the schools. It might exist but, where is the Oprah school of broadcasting or journalism or whatever. The JayZ business school. White celebs give scholarships AND throw money to fund building, labs, and other environments.

At major universities every building has a benefactor.

Floyd Mayweather walks around with a million in cash. He can't take a Grambling or Southern and pump cash into a program to put his name on? "Money Mayweather school of Business". Or since people hate him, find the Omar like school himself with a boxing element.

I'm not one to count someone's money, but we can do a lot more than humble (or not so humble) bragging on social media. Raise the bar and cut the excuses.

He will be waiting, but we should be demanding these guys to give back. Imagine what happens if Jay-Z/Beyonce propped up a struggling HBCU... What if Oprah blessed a HBCU with a state of the art broadcast journalism school? What if Barack threw a bone to a HBCU's pre-law program. We (black people) love to follow trends by our stars. Ciroc, Sean John, Effen, Beats, Ace of Spades, etc. What if our stars made a few of the HBCU's hot. What if the 1 and done bball players were wrecking shyt at Grambling, Morehouse, etc.

We are afraid to help each other for fear of fukking up our money with other races. Sad shyt.


exactly. prodigy from mobb deeps great great grandfather founded morehouse. why doesn't he promote that as much as he promotes the ignorant shyt?

lol bill cosby gave Spelman 2 mill. At the end of the day people want Celebs to announce everything they do.

Cosby gave way more than just 2 million. And he has put 100s of blacks through college and look how fast spellman and blacks turned against him just based on the white media reporting with not facts or evidence.

Most of these celebs dont make as much as you think they do. They are not liquid like that. Should have learned from the 50 cent bankruptcy. Stop trying to count folks pockets.

nikkas be like :whoa: when you start talking doing for self

The thing with "do for self" philosophy is that it is a numbers game. Combine behavioral psychology with treadmill capitalism and most people do not have it in them or the time to take that approach.

You might be able to carve out a commune for a few 1000 Black people but the vast majority of of the 40-50 million AAs won't benefit. You might be able to build a school that helps a few 1000 Black children but Black people have never had a problem of creating individual stories of #BlackExcellence and people making it out the hood to become wealthy and educated, its overarching change that transforms the entire community that we can't break through.

I know people like to call things we are owed "handouts" but unfortunately there are only a few institutions that can print out money, set interest rates, etc, so the vast majority of people and countries, regardless of race or nationality, have to get their money from these people. Athletes and actors do not have the pockets to fund us. The 1 trillion we have in spending power (which includes the Oprahs and Puffys) aint shyt for 40-50 million people when you consider Asians have the same amount of spending power and half the population number. The focus has to be finding a method that FORCES these people to cut a check or suffer some kind of loss whether it be a substantial boycott or the threat of violence. A Poor People's Campaign for the 2000s. If not, its everyone for themselves and help who you can while White Supremacy is the status quo.

Boycotts, education, violence, and producing your own goods in services (ones that are essential) will solve our problem. Worst case scenario white people kill us all. I'm willing to die so :yeshrug:

Need funding for education and I don't think you are going to teach any sizable portion of AAs and Americans in general how to produce their own goods and services unless you can pay them for it on the front end.

Violence and boycotts can be effective but with purpo$$$e.
