8:01 I’m a descendant of Mary Ellen Pleasant. Also, my relatives (who are Mary’s descendants) made history during their time period: sisters Dr. Geneva Handy and Dorothy Antoinette Handy. “In 1954, Dorothy joined the Orchestre International in Paris. The following year, she joined the Music Viva Orchestra with her sister, Geneva Handy Southall, going on tour in Germany, which was sponsored by the United States Information Agency.” en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._Antoinette_Handy
Great video! I say with all of the negative images pushed to enforce the stereotype, I see so many dedicated black Americans doing all kinds of wonderful things. These stories are rarely reported on the local or national news which is why I'm happy about channels like yours where I can choose my own content to watch. Regardless of the algorithm I seek positive black media, and that which will improve my life. New subscriber!
You covered a lot in this video. Thank you. 1. It can be a difficult job to follow the money. GOP (companies) were paid as well. May not be during the campaign, but now that they've won, I bet A LOT of GOP people and companies are going to financially benefit down the road. My concern is the tons of money used to sway only a small percent of voters. I'll stop there. 2. Northern racism is still real and alive. 3. Please consider doing a video on why black greek organizations are just as 'important ' post college. White greeks seem to move on to other clubs. I'll discuss fashion, education, skin color and caste another time. Thank you for reading.
How do you feel about the black project 2025? I did a video on it because as a community organizer, I’m frustrated that people go after a new shiny thing opposed to listening and connecting with people who have been doing this work prior to Trump’s election. The person who suggested it to me feels like reactionary politics, and I’m nervous about leaders who only just now realize the state of the black community is something that we should be doing something about. The oppression of black folk are not new, so I’m just curious what other people are thinking, other than the sheep who follow any snake oil that is being promoted
Lady Trinette, that is a very Great Question, who are the Black elite today? I would have to do some research to find that out. I don't know the names of Powerful, Productive Black People off of the top of My head, maybe LeBron James is one. I hope the Democratic Party have learned a Great Lesson in this Defeat because Beyonce, Meg the Stallion, Cardi B etc are just entertainers they ARE NOT OUR LEADERS. They Twerk, and pull their pants down to show their drawers & stuff but that is NOT What Great, Sophisticated & Honorable Leaders Do. They Are Not Our Leaders At tall. ❤ 🖤 💚✊🏽 B1
Yes, I said Lebron James because he opened his own school & he paid college tuition for 1000 students or so; not sure if the students look like Trinette & Myself or not though.
It would be great to make an assessment of the Original Free Americans compared to the Civil Rights generation who was much later. I feel they were a different caliber of blacks. The original blacks seem more educated and progressive,
Oprah gave America: Dr.Oz 66 times on her show then gave him his own show through Own. Dr. Phil who is Trump supporter gave him his show. Jeff Bezos- Amazon WTF Trump and his family calling him the best father in America and hung out with Donald at Mar Largo. She even had Maya Angelou's b-day party at Mar Largo! Barack and Michelle Obama before he became President. She announced that he would be our 1st black president once he became senator.(I saw the show) and said "who is he?" I guess we have Oprah to thank for this daymare😢 Remember when Oprah built her school in S.Africa and she was questioned as to why she didn't build a badly needed residential boarding school for girls in Chicago. Her response "They only want sneakers" This from a woman who is the consumate hustler of goods. Oprah's favorite things...who cares ADOS don't!
A part of my job was booking speakers. If you see anyone speaking to an audience they receive pay regardless of race, political party ect. Please don't vilify standard procedure.
They are paid for both. When you invite someone to speak their endorsements of your platform is implied. Speakers also decline invitations based on this criteria as well.
I live next to Wash DC where many well to do AA live . The vast majority was able to enter the middle class and upper middle class bye their parents getting employment though the federal gov . So you many as early as the late 50' able to send their children to univ long before many AA's in the county in larger numbers . I sometime I go there to party man you would think you was around white people with dark skin.
@@TitanicTubi Yet y'all want us to vote like we live the same lives. We're separated when it comes to class but not a vote? Also this isn't the flex you think it is. The Black elite is the reason why the Black community is at the bottom. They hold water for the palm colored people. Look at the Boule and CBC. They do nothing but hold us back. The Black elite are Democrats overseerer for the Black community. All those celebrities who were mentioned in this video are sellouts. The old Black elite might have been classier but most of them were sellouts too.
@@blackhistory767 You raise all of that Champaign money to spend it to get your word out. Be it Wynette TV ads, newspaper ads, or mailers. Same as having celebrity endorsements, as you are trying to reach as many people as possible. And , celebrity hood still matters to some folks. As for people in the gilded Age, perhaps not the black families, but those elite white families , were Robber Barons, just like the top %today. As for giving back to the black communities, there are plenty that give back and Bey is one of those that do. What’s the problem with people being paid for their time? As far as propaganda, everyone should be doing their own research and acting accordingly. Also, the “400” was coined for the white elite what were invited to the Astor’s home.
There's this invention called Google and it has loads of information on it. You can literally look up who receives money from whom. People aren't just pulling this out of their behinds because you Stan the sellout Boule.
I enjoy your show, but let's set the record straight about Roland Martin. He's not just a media personality; he owns a media company with employees to pay. Think about it: even Oprah, a media mogul, didn't reap the same financial rewards as the networks she partnered with. Before making assumptions, remember that Roland Martin's company is a significant player in the media landscape. To put it into perspective, his company is likely more substantial than a small business. So, let's do our research before asking questions. Also, he barely made slightly more than what the Republicans pay Melania trumps Hairstylers
So because he makes his own way he's a sellout? Sounds like u tried and failed!! 🙄 don't blame others for ur failed success. @@crystalsthefutureempress

Yes 🙌🏾
Boule will be Boule.
Absolutely and superior without apology
@@vernonrobinson1685Not in Trumps world! And 54 % of white women!😂😂😂

Magan the Stallion …..Elite? Please don’t insult our intelligence.
Smh
😂😂😂😂right
...come on man lets big up every ting black...
Are you worth $30 million, a successful rapper with a 4 year degree in the medical field? I think not so that is what gets her on this list.
Popularity is a mechanic of Elitism.

Thank you for watching! I’ll definitely consider.
The Old Guard as they were called
When being a member of the blk elite actually meant something.

Most of them still carried water for Massa.

Haven't heard of it, I'll check it out and do a video on it.
Yes, I recall a 1960s article in Time Magazine about the Black Elite ...
Inspiring!
It was also a reminder that the biggest issue has always been Poor vs Rich.
What I loved about the black elite is they really loved themselves. They liked being around each other.

You Are Welcome
LeBron James? 😂😂😂😂😂
The true Black elite remain hidden. They don’t associate with entertainers. They are primarily located in the DMV

Yay! Thank you!
Glad I came across your video today.
Thank you so much for watching!
Who are the black elites today and is money the only gauge?
I would say the grass roots organizers, and those who have started non profits.
@@pennydink72 Yes exactly. They're the ones who haven't sold us out to the tiny hats like the Boule and the CBC.
Oprah gave America:
Dr.Oz 66 times on her show then gave him his own show through Own.
Dr. Phil who is Trump supporter gave him his show.
Jeff Bezos- Amazon WTF
Trump and his family calling him the best father in America and hung out with Donald at Mar Largo. She even had Maya Angelou's b-day party at Mar Largo!
Barack and Michelle Obama before he became President. She announced that he would be our 1st black president once he became senator.(I saw the show) and said "who is he?"
I guess we have Oprah to thank for this daymare😢

Oprah's favorite things...who cares ADOS don't!
They are of the ancestors from the Maccabees, when evil Israelites went and joined themselves with the heathen and worked against their own.
A part of my job was booking speakers. If you see anyone speaking to an audience they receive pay regardless of race, political party ect. Please don't vilify standard procedure.
Speakers are paid for their knowledge not endorsements. Also, if they would have said they were advertising for someone. It’s different.
They are paid for both. When you invite someone to speak their endorsements of your platform is implied. Speakers also decline invitations based on this criteria as well.
2 million to wave at people? Beyonce is no speaker!!
I LOVE HBCUs.
Do you have an email address? I would love for you to teach my students?
I live next to Wash DC where many well to do AA live . The vast majority was able to enter the middle class and upper middle class bye their parents getting employment though the federal gov .

Exactly @lovelyjeanine
We still aren't
Roland is Haitian not a descendant of ADOS who built America!!!
You can't be that ignorant.
i don't think that is true concerning how much they got paid. What evidence do you have?
The FEC report. The money went to their companies. Propaganda is not cheap.
