Chris Rock hosted the Oscars in 2016 and made a “rant” about equal opportunities for black people in acting jobs. Chris is a multi-millionaire who has multiple resources,connections and properties. He lives/once lived in a $30m house. On the other hand, Tyler perry has opened Tyler Perry studios that is predominantly about/for black people. P diddy launched revolt Tv that highlights black people and their accomplishments and their struggles. Master P started Better Black Television (BBTV011), which was meant to promote positive messages and content to the African American culture. All his movies don’t have the hollywood bs. All this while, celebrities like Chris Rock who have more money than they need are busy bitching on Tv. If “they” don’t create opportunities for you, create for yourselves. African American celebrities have the biggest chance in history to change the lives of their people.
So successful black people should not use their influence to highlight the issues their less privileged peers face?
You can’t keep highlighting for 30 years while you have all the resources to change the game. It’s about working smart. Master P highlights and shows practically how to change all this. He’s just saying that to be politically correct then go back to his 30m house. What will have changed?

It’s his money, he can spend it how he wants to. He doesn’t owe anyone anything. If others want to spend theirs on helping, that’s fine. If others would rather talk about the issue that’s fine too.
And as you talk about Tyler Perry, he’s made a fortune out of perpetuating racist stereotypes of black people for decades. The gangsta, the sassy/angry black woman, the dysfunctional 'hood family etc. Maybe he’s not the best example for a counter argument.

I am not telling him how to spend his money. I am just highlighting a better way forward. Deep down I know you know the point I am pushing across but like every post in Ktalk, a dick measuring contest must ensue. To me, that is the best way forward but myabe it isn’t for you. Thank you. World moves forward
Better than nothing. People have jobs. We’ll tackle those issues when we get there.
Deep down I know you know the point I am pushing across but like every post in Ktalk, a d*ck measuring contest must ensue
Hmm so if someone disagrees with you it’s a dick measuring contest. Okay. Says a lot about your mindset. We are clearly not on the same wavelength. I think I’ll just end it here.
great.
Those black Americans just use complaining as their tool to get ahead in the game of life. It can be tiresome, but it works
We get it. You hate black people.
Mimi ile kitu hunishangaza Sana is that Africans goes to that country and make it big. Which blacks native don’t have anything to smile about.
The problem is about poor child upbring. All the time is complaining, fighting and glorifying crime and immorality.
i see your point…
It seems finally mmeanza kupata common sense.
You’ve stopped drinking from that Democratic Party, Wakanda, Afro conscious cesspit of lies and nonsense.
White man been keeping me down.
You just had to bring in your political penchant in this discussion.
Why don’t you try working for a month, no, let’s make that two or a year without pay. America was built on the backs of free black slave labor for 400 years. So let’s give them some leeway.
That 400 years was a lie created by activists.
America is only 244 years old so where do you get this 400 year bullshiet from???
Really? So you’ve become a revisionist?
Something about you die hard Rethuglicans. A few loose nuts.
Number 2 Africans were WILLING participants in the slave trade. That is how some chiefs in West Africa became mbirrioneas. They captured neighbours, enemies and even relatives and took them to the beach shores for shipping to far off lands.
This was a lucrative business.
Number 3 Freed black slaves owned and even traded in slaves. And these fellows even became beloved politicians.
The U.S has had black leaders and politicians for centuries. These black politicians mainly in the Democratic party fool their black followers that the white man is keeping them down. They then lie that they will bring fake shit called civil rights and equality.
And just like that they get relected and stay in power for decades. Black people are still waiting for this fake shit called civil rights.
Obama became an MCA in 1997.
He has been a political leader from 1997 to 2017!
How has Obama helped the black people of Chicago who voted for him for 20 years?
He has done nothing for them!
Some black American leaders like John Conyers served as U.S representative from 1965 to 2017 yet he has done more or less nothing for the black people of Detroit.
He left Detroit poorer than he found it!
Hio 400 years ni maongo ya activists.
Furthermore how many black people in the U.S actually worked as slaves?
One would think the whole black population in the U.S were slaves and no they weren’t.
Every black American often claims to have slave ancestors and that’s a lie.
Historically there were about 300,000 slaves in the U.S and majority were owned by a few plantation owners.
