Hundreds of Black women and men gathered at the US Capitol to serve notice to the Republicans who are attacking her, and to the Democrats who are not defending her, that they all #StandWithIlhan.

i can see both sides, it isn't that black folks are poor (tho many black households may be making good income black household wealth is still far behind) but many aren't really in a position to act on that directive given by jay (and also using the language of gentrification implies a negative)...still the message may get people cognizant of the goal, which may get some to act & support in the ways they can.
also in terms of entrepreneurship & ownership, it's cool if it is in the context of really wanting to create value for people but often it is put in the context of strictly making money or not wanting to be making money/taking orders for someone else; basically the dame dash kind of school of business theory...and it is surprising how many folk are on that type of time, even in their own 9 to 5 reality. there may some percentage of the populace who really can't operate in the context of a routine or under the auspices of being somebody's 'employee,' but i'm not sure that should be the requisite path to entrepreneurship just like a degree/school isn't the only way to earn a good living...

They left a legacy of light skinned blacks as gatekeepers to the scraps of the dominant society.
I think the evidence is everywhere.
Modern day black frats and sororities.
Colorism in black music videos.
A Barrack Obama or Rosa Parks promoted over a darker counter part.
We celebrate blacks that rise to level of gatekeeper/boss/field over seer.
Shouldn't be a gate at all.

Tiger doesn’t think of himself as black. Most mix people identify as what the mother is, unless they’ve dealt with huge instances of racism from Whites. The Rock and Tiger are prime examples of that.
Many will say they “transcend” race though in the eyes of pop culture.

Meh. What's more problematic is the pricing of his ****. We know how it is the higher up you go. Twitter tryna kill everybody for anything.

I don't have an issue with his pricing, don't bother me at all. Definitely disappointed in the diversity tho
"Cancel Culture" is mob mentality, folks gotta stop tryna impose their personal morals onto everybody else.

Why are black folks still living in paradox...
Still looking for equality and acceptance?
Still don't understand the perverted obsession they have with stealing the color and essence that we emit from our mind and souls?
The truth is really a dark depressing rabbit hole...

Black people still looking for acceptance from non black people is still the funniest thing in the world to me. A while ago I would be sad like "omg, why wont they include us", now Im like "lol, efff em, we have our own stuff to celebrate"
When I see things like "first black ballet dancer to perform in France", I dont even bat an eyelash.
WE HAVE AFRICA and VERY BLACK THINGS AND SPACES

We have to stop expecting people to make certain changes either instantaneously or as fast as we have. We've had it ingrained in us to hold certain things or people or accomplishments to be more important or the highest standard since before most of us were born, so it's not logical to think we all will wake up one day and change it all.

Agreed top to bottom.
I also don't think the disappointment here is inline with wanting to be included at their table. A black man was in a position of power and influence and hired not 1 single additonal black person. That's not asking white people to include us, IMO. That's just showing Virgil his **** up.
Now maybe Nike didn't give him any hiring power, but that's a hard one for me to believe.

That's what I'm confused about, I'm sure Virgil knows the struggle. Can't believe he dropped the ball like this
