Discover the unexpected truth about affirmative action and diversity in this eye-opening conversation. You won't believe the startling revelations from experts that challenge the status quo. Is diversity, equity, and inclusion just an illusion? Find out the surprising historical context and the stark realities that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew. Stay tuned to uncover the hidden dynamics and the unconventional solution proposed. It's time to rethink everything you thought you understood about this critical issue.
My special guests are Robert Blackwell Jr. and Pastor Greg Livingston.
Pastor Greg Livingston, a civil rights leader and social activist, shared profound insights on the economic disparities still facing Black communities today. And Robert Blackwell Jr, an advanced analytics entrepreneur, broke down sobering statistics revealing how little has changed financially for African Americans over the past century. I was floored by how they connected the dots, tracing back to post-slavery broken promises and the heights of Black business success in the early 1900s. Greg and Robert don't mince words - they want economic justice, not empty corporate diversity talk. The solutions they offer give me hope though. Greg says we need a "rebirth of our minds" and to take the power back as shareholders. Robert stresses that focusing on growing Black entrepreneurship is the only reliable path from poverty to prosperity. They both agree it comes down to money and doing business with people who are ready.
