It's an American success story. Self-made black multimillionaires, many of whom grew up poor, have made vast fortunes in the sports, entertainment and media industries.
The new moguls made their millions under the age of 40, primarily by taking more ownership and control over their brands than their predecessors. Collectively, black athletes in the NFL, NBA, and in Major League Baseball earned nearly $4 billion last year and the nation's 20 highest-paid hip-hop entrepreneurs brought in more than $500 million. Now, with their newfound wealth come responsibilities to their family, friends, and community.
Based on Lee Hawkins' forthcoming book of the same title, NEWBOs: The Rise of America's New Black Overclass examines the growing responsibilities of black celebrities in the Obama age. The project features personal stories and interviews with some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment. It's an inside look into how each successful NEWBO surmounted challenges to achieve the American Dream.

Find out what a REAL tough guy is...look down the barrel of a mortgage a family and raising those kids...Let's see if we can get that kids without a father down below 75%...

That's real close to another name
that starts with an S.
Sensitivity training.
Is it “New Black Overclass”, or “New Black Overlords”?
They just won’t admit that.
Yet.
Few of these ‘moguls’ have made it outside of sports or entertainment. Being rap scum is how they got their start.
As for family, many of them have kids out of wedlock, some by many women.
In regards to community, many of them have performed community service after committing crimes.
Many of us know what their much vaunted friends are like.

White hate does not hold them back. Their own hate holds them back.
“NEWBOs?
How about New Bro’s”
couldn’t go near the other word...the tiger turning to butter still gives me the creeps...
Our Overlords. We simply refuse to admit it.
Thankfully those of us wiht brains have already figured out a way to get rid of them.
That author is high all your typical NBA player cares about is sexing as many blondes as possible and you can’t really blame them because they’re 20-30 yr old men with money.
‘Buppies’?
Oh..........make it stop...........
Who ever said politicians were other than black[-hearted]?
AFROSTOCRACY - the rule of the african elite.
Please do not post photos of the Players Ball, Eddy Amin DaDa, or various rappers.
Buppies?
Hahahahaha.....good one....let’s see THAT one maake it to the MSM...
“AFROSTOCRACY - the rule of the african elite.”
Big ‘fro with a crown....
Hmm, so I’m an old white under-class honky. OWUCH!
Bingo. While a necessary generalization, the facts back it up - But you better watch out. Sharpton and the other Race Pimps will be looking for another ‘Racist’ outrage to give them the opportunity for more Media exposure.
...and ‘preachers’ who suck them dry and live in mansions with a ten million dollar line of credit from the ‘church’ and preach ‘whitey’s chickens are coming home to roost’ certainly don’t help...but then, just how many black ‘churches’ are nothing but a front for islam?
islam has always used the ‘natives’ as useful idiots and slaves, being known as African-American makes no difference to islam, the blacks are nothing but grist for the mill, canon-fodder in islam’s quest for domination and the annihilation of the kuffar. (Silly african-amercans, they don’t realize THEY ARE NEXT!)
