Let me tell you the greatest story of WHITE PRIVILEGE in recent American history.⁣
⁣
Today, QUIBI closed down. ⁣
⁣
Two white executives raised and spent nearly $2 BILLION on it. It’s the most ever raised for a startup that came and went so quickly. ⁣
⁣
It just launched 6 months ago. ⁣
⁣
Everybody I know said it was doomed before it launched. ⁣
⁣
But $2,000,000,000 was still given to Jeffrey Katzenburg and Meg Whitman to blow through and fail. ⁣
⁣
Nobody is calling them frauds. ⁣
Nobody is saying they stole anything. ⁣
Nobody is calling them unethical. ⁣
⁣
Because white people are allowed to fail. ⁣
⁣
Over and over again. ⁣
With little to no consequence. ⁣
⁣
And little to no criticism. ⁣
⁣
Black entrepreneurs aren’t given this chance. ⁣
Black coaches aren’t. ⁣
Black activists and organizers aren’t. ⁣
⁣
When we fail, it literally may ruin our careers and will follow us forever. ⁣
⁣
That’s all. ⁣
⁣
White people burned through $2 billion like water. ⁣
⁣
And Meg Whitman is being considered for Biden’s cabinet. ⁣
⁣
It’s called “failing up.”⁣
⁣
They fail, and still move up the ladder.
