The Streets

[RCNAL]

I've noticed that the blacks with a lot of power and money try to stay out of the limelight. Some have come out of the shadows but they did what other blacks can't seem to stop doing and that is 'being on front street.'

J Prince stays behind the scenes and people can speculate or whatever but he got way more money and way more power than what people think. People try to say all kinds of things on him. White folks try to label him as a some sort of black mafia type persona.

How J. Prince Became The Most Feared Man In Hip Hop Industry

Robert K Smith
This guy flew under the radar. I have a finance background and heard of him early on. Smart AF. Extremely smart guy intellectually. I've read interviews of his former colleagues saying it was no surprise he'd branch out and mega successful. When you are a black man on Wall Street and white boys see your intellect right away and you have position, I guarantee you, that Black person is smarter than those around him, and above him. They will always, always, always take a white boy over you if you are basically the same or offer the same. You have to be visibly better for them to f*ck with you. I have a few stories.

Anyway, he quietly became the richest black person in America and then he did it quietly. He didn't do interviews or anything. Then he became more public. Which I think was the worse thing he could have done. My guess? His white wife. He married a former playboy playmate and my guess is she encouraged him to get out more, in part to give herself some clout. That's my supposition. He's known to be a bit awkward socially. He's a numbers guy, loves numbers, cerebral ish. More comfortable crunching numbers and analyzing businesses than giving speeches. When he started being on front street more and got a bit more power because of it, and started giving to black causes, all of a sudden the IRS started looking at him. Never happened before and he was always known as a straight shooter. They were sending a message in my opinion, to get your money but don't try any social engineering with your money by helping blacks.

Advice from Robert Smith Forbes' second-wealthiest African-American

Al Haymon

Floyd Mayweather's silent partner. Tariq mentions him sometimes. He controlled boxing for a while to the point where Bob Arum and the top promoters were publicly talking about him in a bad way. That's power. He stays behind the scenes and moves quiet AF. I love the way this brother moves. He doesn't like interviewing. He doesn't want clout. He doesn't want publicity.

I would love to find some sisters like that on the low. Maybe there are and I'd love some suggestions on here. The closest is possible Mellody Hobson, wife of film maker George Lucas.

The thing is that if they are moving in silence we’ll never know about them. So I’m sure there are many people out there doing big things but it may be a Black person that makes a certain part of a dumpster that’s printing money…we’ll never know they exist.

On to J. Prince, I think he might be working with the CIA similar to how Rick Ross was. His camp has too much action going on for law enforcement to not have cracked down on him.

Whoa whoa whoa. You fucked up by starting off with, "The Blacks". I didn't even read shit else you wrote because that opening line is suspect as fuck! Naw, Naw. Something don't smell right here!

Your choice, keep it moving. The rest of us will discuss real sh*t on our own.
He must be new here y'all.

[It's Robert F. Smith not K middle initial, typo]
If you are a paid and I'm talking hundreds of millions up to billions and you want to be in black empowerment, you better move in silence. Complete silence as much as possible.

White boys who are paper'd up big and back racist groups, etc like Robert Mercer, Charles Koch, don't do interviews, don't be on front street. They want to stay as anonymous as possible.

As soon as Robert F. Smith started donating to black specific causes he got audited. Before that he was donating to white charities (Carnegie Hall, RFK Human Rights, his alma mater Cornell University, etc) he was fine. When he started moving his money to black specific causes he got audited.

Can you stay completely quiet with that much money? No. But you can make it difficult for them.

Another person who moved in silence at first was Donald Watkins. Watkins is a civil rights attorney in Alabama. The story was he made about 20 million dollars from class action lawsuits mostly defending Blacks.

He went to JP Morgan and said I want you to invest my money for me. I want the best deals that aren't public, the back room deals. I don't have access to those white folks but you do. But only one condition. I want to be a silent partner only in deals that JP Morgan itself is heavily invested in. Basically, if I lose money, you lose money and y'all don't lose money. That 20 mil went to at least 600 mllion. He was one of the richest black persons in America that no one knew about. This was in the '80s and '90s.

He then came out from behind the scenes in 2001 and tried to be the Minnesota Twins baseball team at the time for 250 - 275million total

Twins, Watkins battle over his bid for team

The Minnesota Twins say that Donald Watkins hasn't proven he has the money to buy the team. Watkins says they never asked him to.

www.espn.com

The MLB was like 'we never heard of you' how you got 250 mil for a team? Where's your paperwork? He got JP Morgan to send them a letter and JP Morgan said, we know his paper, he can easily buy the team and pay for its operations. Now, normally, the MLB would simply take a major internaltional's bank's word for it, but not if he's black. They wanted to see his books. He was like nah, y'all don't be asking other buyers for their books and he was right. Forbes even had an article basically saying no black man can be worth that much money and no one knows about it. Basically saying he's capping. But JP Morgan gotta be capping too? And they don't cap on stuff thats linked their reputation.

Anyway, it didn't work out. Fast forward to 2018 and the feds try to say he committed fraud. This guy is a lawyer. He is known for being very careful. He's spent a lifetime filing lawsuits against the states or feds, he is not stupid enough to do that. He's never been known for that.

Donald Watkins, who tried to buy Twins, indicted on federal fraud charges

Well, here's a strange blast from the past: Remember Donald Watkins? Maybe you do. Maybe you've never heard of him. Or maybe you've done everything in your power to purge the memory of the very strange time the Minnesota Twins had off the field around 2001 and 2002. But here's the short version...

Stay hidden. The ultra rich white racists are basically like the Sith in Star Wars, stay hidden till they got sh*t lined up right and then come out when you got the power.

We should be like that.

Byron Allen

Byron Allen became a mogul way under the radar that even white boys in Hollywood had no idea. He got an estimated net worth of about 500 million and because how smooth he did it, he stayed under the radar.

His business strategy was straight smooth. I don't like him any more but I gotta give him credit. Byron Allen - Wikipedia

The traditional of way of getting a show accepted by one of the major cable companies is bring them either a finished show or a promo and they decide to buy it from you.

What Byron did was bring them a finished show and tell them he'll give it to them for free. All they have to do is split the advertisement with him. So, he made this very cheap, low budget shows of all kinds. The cable company get a free show. They would put it on at an hour where the least people are watching. However, lets say Byron made a show for 20k and these were shows similar to Judge Judy where the guests are there for free basically, the 'star' works cheap. Comcast for example buys it, ad revenues are 100k for the season. Byron Allen gets 50k for a 20k production. He uses the 50k to make 2 more and so forth. Now, lets say one of these 20k shows becomes a big hit. Then the ad revenues generates millions. So, all he needs is just one 'home run' but his core business was still making money.

There was an article about him about a few years ago about his entire business life. My view it was signaling to white folks, this negro is getting too big. He has since come out of the woodwork and is now being more visible. Which I always thought was a bad idea. He married a white woman in 2007. He was worth a huge amount of money at the time. He tries to front like he's down but he's basically one of those brothers who is a traditional Democrat and wants to be seen with, do business and mix with the big boys (white boys).

My view is he bought The Grio to establish a black base so that we will fight for him when he files one of his racial discrimination lawsuits like how Tone Talks and Yvette Carnell did.

There are a lot of other black business people with a lot of money who are very private. How do you determine if they have power or not? It can be a Kanye or Bill Cosby situation to where you have the wealth but it can be easily assailed upon because you have not fortified yourself.

 

[ShowStopper]

Hit and miss on this. Just because they have money, doesn't mean they can do anything with it. If they can't buy MLB teams and do things straightforward, then they don't have power.
I would think that individuals like Watkins can gain power, but it would be very very dificult. We'd have to have something done politically. Because if we donate to white causes, and then we run for office, I doubt they'd be as quiet as they are when a non-black person runs and we run into trouble. It would need to be more than one individual to get something accomplished.

There are 1000s of black millionaires on the low. My thread is about mega millionaires and billionaires on the low.
Also, I would respectfully disagree that not buying an MLB team is not having power. First, he could have if he revealed his full finances. Second, an MLB isn't exerting power to me. That's flossing to some extent. If I had his money I would give 2 fux about a sports team. Spending 275 million linking with TBA and Tariq fighting white supremacy exponentially far more powerful than a 275 million dollar baseball team. No?
My other point is that they weren't showing their ass tryna clout chase on the way up.
Thirdly, we don't have to know them or see them for them to have a big impact on our lives. I've heard a few pro athletes left a bag to bail out protesters. They were quiet about it because of shoe contracts, etc. An example of a rich black having an impact and the black community not knowing. In fact I think that is the best way. Out front and center makes an easier target for white supremacy. It's much harder to hit an unseen, unknown moving target.

This is true but until black folks start investing in our own community, nothing is going to change. We spend money on brands that mock us (LV, YSL, Gucci, Balenciaga, H&M etc), have all had questionable runaway shows & marketing agendas but black people still purchase their products. We listen to drill drill shoot shoot music but the genre perpetuates violence in our own community. We don't even own the publishing btu other groups exploit us and make billions. We glorify toxic rappers (Future, Young Thug, Cardi B, Meg Thee Stallion etc), athletes, Hollywood actors instead of looking up to black captains/leaders of industry in medicine, technology, real estate and business.

We endorse poor habits instead holding each other accountable for our actions. The women have a poor selection criteria in male partners hence most of them end up single mothers. The men are weak and emotional because they have been raised by broken, borderline unhinged and highly mothers. No fathers or stability in the house. We easily accept other groups of people into our culture but these are the same people that will disrespect us when they have established themselves.

If we collectively stop watching the NBA, NFL and all the other BET bulshit, they will feel it and make the necessary adjustments favourable to us. If we build our own sports leagues, music publishing and distribution houses, banks and community lending institutions, real estate companies, food farms and so on, we can actually create a power base that can actually change the narrative and fight white supremacy. Black politicians, civil right activists (Al Sharpton, Tamika Mallory, BLM etc) and most black celebrities are owned by the dominant society.
Where are they when there is black on black crime? Why do black women continue to go to Chinese salons when they're racially abusive and outright disrespectful? Having a black Mayor or Senator is just a symbolic gesture at the moment. It means nothing if they can't address the plight of the black community.

The black community is in a low vibrational state and needs some serious introspection. We must change our mental paradigm, if we are to change our lives.
