I don't think people really get the importance of ownership.
Who's kids do you think have it better off? Jay-Z's kids or a doctor's kids?
Who do you think creates more jobs? Who do you think provides more for the community to give the opportunity for black people to become doctors in the first place? People that prosper are people that own their own industries. It gets passed down through generations and builds a better economy. A black doctor can't guarantee a job for their siblings, cousins or children unless they own a business. Your connections are more important to your success. Who do you think builds more relationships with people that can open doors for you to explore other ventures? A doctor or a successful business owner. If you think ownership isn't important you are just clueless. The biggest reason why black people haven't been able to prosper is because they were prevented from owning anything to make money off of. You can get all these high profile jobs working for white people but ultimately you're making money for white people who are using their resources to help their family, not yours.
DWV, I'm not grasping at straws, I'm asking a question. Why would I feel guilty about it? I don't own a record label.

Lucem, you're right, it's silly to talk about what I would or wouldn't do IRL. Glad you brought it up. Maybe you should write an instrumental about it. I recommend a piano paired with a clarinet. With ambient sounds of you hanging from your shower curtain you ****ing failure.
