Common misconception, but Barack Obama is actually a mulatto who was raised in the suburbs by his White grandparents, and went by the name Barry Davis until 20 or so years ago. Second, I’m actually surprised that there are 6 Black ceo’s of fortune 500 companies. That’s a great accomplishment for the descendents of slaves who only started graduating from college on a large scale 40 years ago. I can’t imagine having one much sooner before then, it would’ve been pretty hard to do with all the segregation and Jim Crow laws throughout the country up until the 1970’s.

For a Black American to gain the title of ceo, coo, or cfo of any fortune 500 company is an awesome feat, even though it means that a certain amount of whitewashing took place and the brother or sister may have completely sold out. You have to start somewhere and infiltration is the best way to take over any organization. Hopefully these people don’t forget where they came from, and continue to pave the way for other Blacks to become a part of the takeover without losing their souls or gaining the hatred of the entire race.

My aunt told me when I was a teenager that we shouldn’t expect others to forgo hiring their families for us. We should be creating opportunities for our families by owning our own companies!
