but why doesn;t one hear more about what these so called prominent folks are doing in the community besides bullshit charities or gimmicks like paying someone's bills for a year. how come you never hear about oprah or rob johnson(ok BET credit for that ... now you have a ton of dough... so now what?) or anybody doing anything substantive in the black community? after all these people are worth tens of millions up to 100's of millions of dollars of dollars yet i have not heard of one "substantive" thing that any of them have done to support their own. i am not talking about charities. i am talking about creating the kinds of institutions that would economically empower the community. for example banks.

maybe they keep their investments low profile but i have a sneaking suspicion that they are not doing anything. e. stanley oneil(over one hundred million net worth, **** parsons, very high net worth) so what are you doing with all that $$$ that society gave you? rockefeller created the university of chicago as his legacy and numerous banks. why cant you mf's do something like that?
