You gotta understand the way this country works. Class is a huge hurdle to success in America especially for us black people. The reason more black people aren't successful isn't because they're stupid or lazy, it's because of class barriers. Travis isn't alone, a majority of black Hollywood comes from privileged backgrounds. The reason they're not transparent about that is it would make them less relatable to their working class fans and a large part of their appeal is that their success seems "attainable" to those fans.
My guy I'm 32, and my father is a well-known political strategist with an international clientele. I absolutely understand the world far better than you do. I was just at a private club in Old Town Alexandria this time last year with the kinds of people who write the checks that put people into office.

So why are you so confused about how how someone's social class affords them access to opportunities? You bragging but you have no idea who I am or what I know. I'm not one of these random Coli oldheads. I'm way younger than you and I really know Travis and his entire team since the early 2010s. I don't know if SJUGrad does but everything he stated in here is actually true, and everybody who knows Travis admits that.

:gucci: If that ain't the pot calling the kettle black. I can tell you're a low achiever in life and don't understand how someone can gain access to these privileged spaces despite not having the same resources as your peers.

1.) As previously stated, private schools offer scholarships for underprivileged students. If he was smart enough to gain access to an elite private school, that's an excellent resource to gain the necessary referrals. And to top it off, Jack n Jill get to pat themselves on the back for not being 'elitist' towards their own people.

2.) Also as previously stated, his grandfather WAS an educated man. While he may not have been wealthy, his social network may be strong enough where has those kinds of connections.

You're the one adding all these qualifiers to diminish another Black man's success.

Shining definition of c00nery.
Are you fukking retarted I literally said kudos to his parents. I admire his parents for using their connections to help their child, hence why I liked the comments that he represents generational wealth. You’re the one who tried to diminish his family legacy. If you know Jack n Jill you would know that’s a heavy connection right along with the Links

I grew up about 10 minutes from where he came from.

Us suburban safe negroes get hated on for success and that's fine.

I'm not going to hate myself because I didn't grow up dirt poor:mjlol:

Alot of y'all need help.

No one is saying this... just pointing out who is labeling him a influencer or trendsetter.... it’s a reason why he has a significant white following/fan base...

That's my safe boule haitian negro.

First zoe to pass the American paper bag test:wow:
I don't know why people from other cultures where TONE ENFORCEMENT means something want to pop off with that Zoe nonsense, aka a gang of nikkas who extort their own people.
You know the whole Willie Lynch idea (fake) was inspired by THE BLACK JACOBINS, correct?


Are there any homeless haitians lighter than will smith?
Any restavek Ameries?

No toothless ice t toned lightskins running around in Haiti?
Don't do it.
