Meme compares Migos rapper Quavo to Amazon's Jeff Bezos - is that racist?

from The Dr Boyce Breakdown · host Dr Boyce Watkins

Hello, I hope you're doing well. ​ I saw an image comparing the rapper Quavo from The Migos to billionaire Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon. While Bezos has a net worth that's literally 7,692 times that of Quavo, he's also nearly twice his age (58 vs 31). The deeper question is this: Why are black men on stage the ones that we see the most in society other than young black men like Paris Dean, a Tech Stars graduate who built an app that earned $100 million dollars in a couple of days? This speaks to an important idea: Rappers are NOT the best and brightest that the black community has to offer. Many of them, unfortunately, have become tools of white supremacy and a music industry that has earned billions of dollars pushing toxic behavior onto young black men that will lead to them getting hooked on drugs, killing each other or ending up in prison. That's the topic we are discussing today on my podcast, which you can find here or by looking up "The Dr Boyce Breakdown" on Spotify. Also, do not forget that Tuesday, I am doing an event for members of The Black Business School called "How to become a millionaire with 5 minutes a month."  Because you are on this list, you can join for free.  We meet Tuesdaynight at 8 pm EST and you can register here. Please take care and have a wonderful day. Sincerely, Dr Boyce Watkins
