Lol...my daughter says that dont look like me

Ask her what she trynna get you to buy.

This is a TERRIBLE rollout...lol

Its disrespectful to even attribute this to a rollout, every thing ain't to be marketed. And that was most of his objectors original point.

This just reeks of being out of touch... you would think with all this money on the line and with all these eyes on them they would do their due diligence and at least be able to tell that maybe the white lady cutting of black locks might not have the best optics..

I still hope some good comes of this... but the more that comes out....the wilder it looks

Or....he knows and

 

[DOS_patos]

We just talking to my nemesis about this....
She said, he has enough money to have to take bad money but we shouldn't fault black people for doing what they need to survive within a system setup to make us fail so taking their money is dirty money but some people were just surviving. So jay forgot where he came from as does anyone who agrees with him. And none of them owners helping the black community with money, so jay donation 5% is not enough buts still taking dirty money.

All this within a 39 minute conversation.

There is no clear answer thats why this makes no sense.

Read thru this and a few other threads and most who are against it make the same cyclical arguments.

Agreeing with what your against.

Smdh
I'll see my way out

 

[SeaSnake]

this is the slippery slope that was discussed earlier...is it a fad? is it part of the culture (rasta, etc...) is it profiling?

I'm not trying to say that young men shouldn't be able to wear their hair like they want, but until we as a collective are in a position to control the narratives, we need to get in the doors first, then we can do what we want

but, i'ma leave this one alone before I out-Dos Dos

What door? How long we been trying to get a foot in the door? Is it even the right door?

What is being out of touch?

Serious question.

So what u mean to say is we judt ain't had enough money for you to listen to us?

 

[Inori]

Serious question.

being able to read the fuckin room..

Like nobody spoke up in the meeting and was like damn... folks might not take too well to hearing about this being a music and clothing deal..

or nobody looking into the background of one of the organizations some of the proceeds are going to having a white woman smiling and happy on social media about cutting off locks of young men to make them more presentable?

Nobody thought the optics might be unfavourable to what they're trying to do? Sure this may just be surface reactions and all that but someone should have flagged these things imo

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

I hate these talking points.

I get the only thing yall nig nogs are good at is punching down but comparing every day Black folx to a fucking billionaire will never be it.

just say you have nothing of substance to add to the conversation and go

Y'all ain't adding shit to the conversation but bitching and complaining.

View attachment 166147

never said that or implied it.

we debate all the time and all her rebuttals go in circles or dont make sense.

if it made sense ....i respect it. im not a person who thinks you have to agree with me...but make what you say make sense and stand by that.
all this situational shit is corny. and this shit is straight situational with some people.

ill see my way out again....i left my jacket thats why i came back.

 

[SeaSnake]

Niggas really in denial. Told us wait and see and damn look at this. Like all the respectability politics is coming out. Pretty much saying “this is how we make you more acceptable to white people”

 

[Race Jones]

Y'all ain't adding shit to the conversation but bitching and complaining.

so you have nothing important to add lmaooo per usual

move around dickhead and let niggas critique in peace

So you not gonna take into account that these MAY be impressionable young men listening to older adults talking them into this that MIGHT not have their best interest at heart?
