    Over the years, I have noticed a very disturbing trend when it comes to black men that are rich and famous. No matter what, it seems, they always seem to fall off. I remember when I was a teen watching the O.J. Simpson Trial. For some reason, no matter how famous, black celebrity men seem to make mistakes that cause them to fall off into obscurity. They even got Bill Cosby. It's rare to see any of them ride off into the sunset until they leave this earth. Kanye was super rich, and famous; until he made the wrong move, Now, Kanye's finished, They got R. Kelly also. What do y'all think about this?

    Well you’re actually explaining the Black experience. We are always one mishap away from going to jail and losing everything. It starts in preschool and no matter how successful you become you’re always that one mishap away.
    This is so true and many angles, us trail lightly my black ppl ✊🏾.

    I also never thought that Will Smith would destroy his reputation and image the way he did. They even managed to dirty up Will Smith too! It almost feels like his situation was staged and that he was ordered to do what he did.
