Why are these rich black celebrities so worthless?

[p100]

What has any black celebrity done for poor black people? Oprah, Beyonce, Kanye, etc. They gave a few students scholarships. They give plenty of donations that qualify as tax write offs.

Why don't these rich black celebrities get together and spend their millions to buy thousands of homes in Detroit and pay for 3 healthy daily meals for poor black families? Then these poor families will have everything they need to succeed and can spend their new found free time becoming engineers instead of working for food scraps all day.

Such a novel idea, I hope someone tells these liberal rich celebrities (of all colors) how they can help these poor people by just giving a bit of money from their own bank accounts.

[brayar]

Because their fame is created and controlled by a certain group to which they must pledge loyalty.

[DukeOfWoodBerry]

Why would you count on celebrities to fix your community's problems lol?

[BunkerBoy]

Sounds like you are getting your black celebrity news from white, right wing talk show hosts.

[EarlA]

Why don’t white celebrities do it for poor white people?

Why don’t all rich people give all their money away?

[Shortfuze]

OPs is right. A lot of black celebrities say how they came from difficult backgrounds and are very sympathetic to the plights of their community but apart from lip service, they offer very little material help to their own communities. I mean, take a look at that rapper L'il Uzi Vert implanting 24 million bucks worth of a pink diamond on his head. He could have done a lot of good if he invested that money to help his community.

[JayJ350]

I thought this would be about how we have all these new-age celebrities who have never produced anything worthwhile.

Eh, this is 100% wrong. Black celebrities like you just mentioned actually DO all those things. No offence, but you're very unaware about this topic.

Why don’t all rich people give all their money away?

Bernie supporters will tell you exactly that..

The irony here is that White celebs mostly waste time on virtue signaling things like Climate Change or Trans-rights

I like the idea that the rest of us look to the government for this kinda assistance, yet poor black people are supposed to look to black celebrities

My point:

Shouldn’t the government be providing the assistance you feel rich black celebrities should be?

[CaliSuperSport]

It's easier to tap into the virtue signal goldmine and just collect money. Most are not going to push for meaningful change in poor communities beyond insignificant philanthropy.

Just think of all the most well known successful black americans. How many are just pro athletes and music artists? How many black americans do you figure follow god-tier role models like Thomas Sowell? Or listen to Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman outside of a movie? This has been a problem in black america and is an increasing problem in the latino community - they are just exploited to perpetuate stupid music/sport culture.

Pretty sure they all give back, and just lol @ lumping in Oprah who has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to the less fortunate.

Regardless, throwing money at a problem doesn't make the problem go away. There needs to be fundamental change in this country which does not take place because some celebrities (regardless of skin color) throw some money at a "problem."

Just another reason to the list I can't take the majority of celebrities seriously.

The only thing worse is that people still eat up their bullsh*t whenever they open their mouths, no matter how out of touch and far removed they are from the plights of the average person they make plainly evident.

Instead of laughing them off, people will just make them even richer by buying their personal snatch-scented candles.

That ties in well with what Rhadam said above in that there are deeper problems than those that can be solved with money alone.

Pop culture propels disproportionately more from bottom to the top for exposure, pushing aside the number positive role models who we can all look up to, regardless of skin color, for promoting positive attributes like intellect and ambition. LeVar Burton reached who knows how many other kids through Reading Rainbow starting at an extremely young age, and more recently we have a beacon of rationality and scientific thinking with Neil Degrasse Tyson.

People like them and your examples are who should be admired, not Cardi B or some subliterate peto with "69" tattooed across his face.

Celebrities?

[Godfrd824]

OPs is right. A lot of black celebrities say how they came from difficult backgrounds and are very sympathetic to the plights of their community but apart from lip service, they offer very little material help to their own communities. I mean, take a look at that rapper L'il Uzi Vert implanting 24 million bucks worth of a pink diamond on his head. He could have done a lot of good if he invested that money to help his community.

Because the issue is blacks not wanting to better themselves. And the only thing that can fix that is a change in the culture. Zuckerberg gave the Newark, NJ school district $100 million cash, that money disappeared, nothing changed. I should know since I grew up in Newark, NJ.

And then when a prominent basketball player opens a vocational school for the underprivileged at no cost to them, his philanthropic reasons given for why he built the school is met with skepticism. That's the real answer.

Yup...it's not the gift of money that's the answer. They need to be shown the opportunity to create their own wealth...

Just look up what liberal hero George Soros says/thinks about African Americans.

[Kewbrah]

Systemic racism is preventing them from doing more

Look up what chance the rapper has done in Chicago and get back to me

[kingmanaverage]

Indeed, op is a *******.

[p100]

There are no rap songs about raising your kids, doing well in school, staying away from drugs, and working hard at a career.

Blacks are oppressed by their own shtty culture and their celebrities that encourage it.
