Ppl vastly underestimate the amount of power and leverage the black bourgeois have in America

Even “billionaires” in the likes of Jay and Kanye own only small percentages of whatever deals they own and such, they don’t actually have the mass of capital to build and compete with the horizontal and vertical level of integration that’s required at high levels of industry.

Even Kanye couldn’t just up and start mass producing Yeezys again at the same rate and quality as his Adidas deal once that fell through

At best they’re like managerial figures over the reproduction of capitalist relations it’s not the same as someone like Elon Musk or Bill Gates

Preaching. Rap fans especially massively overstate how much capital and pull that the richest rappers have

1. This is gonna be overblown because its Jay and it comes in the tradition of Brooklyn Nets gentrification and “We’re past kneeling” but nigga ain’t nobody really been sticking to that boycott lol and he’s far from the only artist or rapper to recently do this.

2. It’s more egregious to me that the Jays Drakes Kanyes Ross Diddys etc haven’t created a black owned alternative to the big box stores so that we don’t need to boycott “their” stores in the first place

This is the most forced fake ass outrage I’ve seen

I don’t doubt target sucks but so does every corporation. I don’t believe anyone actually cares about this
