In 2009 @50cent was singing have a baby by me be a millionaire as a fantastical arrival to wealth for Black folks actually largely bottom casted. >>> In 2022 he’s berating his child over child support and the pain they suffered because he wasn’t a good father. 🤫🤷🏿♂️ #50cent
“I need you to maybe give me a seed. I need you to give me reason to breathe… Have a Baby by me be a Millionaire.” @50cent
“Wealthy parents are famously pouring more and more into their children, ... The biggest investment the rich can make in their kids, … has less to do with "enrichment" than real estate.
They can buy their children pricey homes in nice neighborhoods ...” washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2…
50 cent has exposed there is a severe lack of understanding of wealthy parenting in America by a mass of #ados. They grasp a pricey car, purse, or home as expressions of wealth. But don’t get wealth & children. Many are remaking Curtis into their reflection to empower themselves.
In this era young white men are often afforded a space to fail up by older white men that control most of the wealth in America. They see former versions of themselves. And hand out advantage to keep that image for society. The con of our moment is to mask it w/ Black celebrity.
In addition nepotism has run wild within wealth calcification. And it drives OUR eras winners & losers. There is no group that unknowingly lives further under that boot than #ados Black men. Lives set up for failure from the day they left the womb. Yet expected to provide as men.
The craziness is 99% of you don’t even know this is going on… And it is that pressure & con that scratches at the back of your brain. The feeling of helplessness while being given the faux belief you have all the tools. — Say again how #ADOS didn’t trigger reparations??? 🤫
The path #HurricaneIan is taking is CRAZY. From near Tampa yesterday it then slows down over land earlier. And then picks up speed back over water near Jacksonville today. — My prayers are with Florida and the Carolinas. 🙏🏿 Be safe.
This is ridiculous Madison owned over 100 slaves on a Virginia plantation. You would never see this nonsense from any group oppressed and enslaved by a person. On her Twitter @lizzo calls it a “Presidential” flute. No Lizzo it’s Madison’s. A man who held your ancestors as slaves.
Just so lost… this is a relic of slavery and should have died with Madison. She gonna play this flute and give this man and his flute praise. No it’s not a PRESIDENTIAL flute. It’s James Madison’s legacy born of your ancestors bones.
All of this is such nonsense and furthers the argument many of these people are unanchored from ancestors and lineage. #ados
The gravity of the atrocities skipped over by #womanking can't be put into words. The #BoycottWomanKing protest should be an awakening for #ados Black Americans as to the GAPS in their own identity. "The African Trade" by History is a good primer. WATCH:
The #WomanKing Dahomey traded about 3 mill of our ancestors but other countries & their progeny have been able to live on a flat blackness that Black Americans have blindly anchored. There still were 9 mill more sold up the African coast for hundreds of years. #BoycottWomanKing
Part of the reason this isn’t resonating as it should is first there is no video. And we now learn visually. And also we don’t grasp the scale. Next time you’re at a packed NFL stadium look around. Imagine all those people enslaved in one place. Multiply that by 200 times.
1) Why isn’t @thr interviewing Maria Bello she said she found the story & also it was her brainchild. We are getting quotes from Viola on womanhood as cover. Why can’t we hear from the person who told us it was her idea & project? #BoycottWomanKing - hollywoodreporter.com/lifestyle/life…
2) Bello only has 1 writing credit on IMDB. #womanking . THERE’s NOTHING before this film. Her writing career starts w/ recreating the genesis of our enslavement. Now millions of Blacks are leaving theaters arguing w/ us w/ her writing as their lineal anchor. #boycottwomanking
“In reality, Dahomey was a notorious slave kingdom, and not the Pan-African freedom fighters as the movie presents them. They enslaved and murdered hundreds of thousands from other tribes and sold them into the slave trade.” lastmovieoutpost.com/the-woman-king…
1) STOP reporting the #WomanKing leading the box office. It’s suppose to it’s the 1 film in 3700 theaters. #boycottwomanking
“The woman King is not proven to be profitable in any way. So overall it is coming out that the film will be a box office failure.” thefilmik.com/the-woman-king…
2) They are telling Black America anything on a $19 mill wkd. As an atty that has worked in film I’ll tell you read to get a grasp on per screen avg numbers. #boycottwomanking They opened this #womanking film too wide & many of these theaters were empty. thewrap.com/everything-eve…
3) The Hollywood media has decided to tell Black America anything. #boycottwomanking These numbers are abysmal for a film opening in 3700. Of course its #1 NO movie opened as wide. The other small opening was made for $1 million wasn't in 3700 theaters and will double the budget.
