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.

I agree, that is why I say we should no longer look for "empowered Blacks" to represent us. Because we cannot know how they will use or misuse this power. Instead, we need to empower ourselves and go beyond the limelight.
More power to you, do your thing.
Also, Russell Simmons doesn't own it either...
