1. White own most shit
2. Blacks/minorities created most of the music whites now "own"
3. Whites, in America, have often used their position of power to enslave and/or beat the black man down
4. Black people can, and will, own more shit in the future. But, that's going to take time.
Remember, less than 100 years ago, blacks were still being hung from trees. We're making progress.
That's why I admire black entrepreneurs like Oprah and Bob Johnson.
^^We need more examples like that.
