YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Billionaire Mark Cuban just told Black women entrepreneurs to stop chasing investors and "bootstrap" their businesses instead. In an interview with Essence Magazine, the former Dallas Mavericks owner said self-funding is the key to ownership and success. But here’s the problem—Black women already know this because they have no other choice.

Despite being the fastest-growing group of entrepreneurs in America, Black women receive only 0.35% of venture capital funding. Investors, banks, and the system itself block access to capital. So when a white billionaire—who sits at the top of that system—tells Black women to grind harder, it comes off as tone-deaf and dismissive. Instead of preaching financial survival tactics, Cuban should be using his wealth and influence to change the game.

In this NIGHT SCHOOL excerpt, Marc Lamont Hill breaks it all down—capitalism, racial disparities in funding, and what real economic justice should look like. Watch, share, and join the conversation!
