Young black woman asks Lizzo to show class - racist media attacks her relentlessly
When @charriselane spoke up against the disturbing imagery being promoted of #blackwomen in music, racist media went on the attack. But as my therapist/professor wife, @coachingwithdralicia explained on our podcast, the #Blackwoman has always been promoted in the mammy and jezebel stereotypes. Nobody speaks against #Lizzo 's right to be loved as an obese woman, but to promote obesity as "body positivity" is to literally promote death in the black community. In fact, of the top 10 causes of DEATH...

5 reasons Netflix isn't the next Blockbuster
No, Netflix stock isn’t dead. Yes, the company took a hit. Yes, the number of subscribers dropped for the first time in a decade. But before you write Netflix off for dead, consider these factors: First, Netflix's negative subscriber numbers is largely driven by the fact that the company chose to pull out of Russia. This is, in my view, another reason why companies may want to reconsider getting involved in politics. Secondly, if you had invested $1,000 in #Netflix stock the last time the compan...

Snoop Dogg's Call of Duty play could eventually make him a billionaire
I love the game #CallOfDuty and play it with a bunch of my equally immature 50 year old friends. While we grew up seeing videogames as child's play, I saw it as a very interesting on-ramp to the #metaverse , where trillions in commerce will be happening over the next 20 years. Call of Duty is not a tiny thing. The company that owns Call of Duty, Activision, is currently being acquired by #Microsoft for a whopping $68 billion dollars. Given the degree to which they are marketing Snoop's involveme...

How the US constitution stole black wealth
Today in the Dr Boyce Book Club, we discuss how the US Constituion has rarely presented itself as a friend to black people who are seeking wealth vs symbolism in a fundamentally racist society. Close examination will reveal that black wealth has barely budged since we were freed from slavery. This isn't going to change until we understand the difference between real economic progress vs simply receiving more opportunities for black people to work for white people. I discuss the Constitution's ro...

Will Smith's billion dollar family brand is in jeopardy
Today I read an article in the New York Times about the brand damage that Will smith and Jada Pinkett Smith may endure as a result of "the slap" that occurred against Chris Rock at the Oscars. According to The New York Times, Will Smith's lighter persona was called "Uncle Fluffy," where he made people laugh as a means of survival. Then there was "the general," another side of Will smith that confused those who are accustomed to seeing him friendly and compromising.

Being black means that building wealth is a totally different experience
Today on my podcast, I spoke about a few factors that impact the wealth building journey of black people in America and beyond. The first thing on my mind is that the stock market just had its worst quarter since 2020 with many major tech companies taking a severe nosedive. Making matters worse is that inflation is at its highest level in the last 40 years. Supply chain issues impacting inflation are only made worse by the war in Ukraine. I then thought about the black wealth building experience...

Chris Rock is laughing all the way to the bank
Turns out that Chris Rock is selling more tickets than ever after the Oscars incident with Will Smith. According to Variety, Chris Rock's tour ticket prices have gone up 800% since "the slap," and there are more opportunities sure to follow. As a finance professor, this news led me down a rabbit hole of thoughts regarding what it means for a black man to be a "boss" vs one who is beholden to the rules of the establishment. After breaking down all of this with simple logic, I've concluded that bo...

Will Smith and Chris Rock both apologized - they were wrong to do that
I understand the reasons that Chris Rock and Will Smith apologized for the Oscars slapping incident, but I don't like it. I personally believe that both of these men could have stood their ground and everything would be fine. The interesting act of black men consistently apologizing for nearly everything is one of those things that reminds me of the white supremacy that exists in America.
