I fully understand that there are very powerful Black people that are not in the public eye. The reason that I mentioned Puffy and Master P is b/c I work in a form of the entertainment industry and they are examples of people in entertainment doing things behind the scenes. Another that comes to mind is Russell Simmons. They were just quick examples of people who are making deals that affect their lives instead of just signing a contract and accepting wages.

I'm frustrated b/c I work w/ so many folks who want to be in front of the camera and don't realize that the people with the real dough and clout are in the offices that run the company. But no one wants to work in an office b/c there are no accolades from strangers there. There is no instant notoriety. These are college educated Black people and it seems that the main goal is to get some tv face time.
