he has a lot of money on the line and most likely blacks will be his largest consumers at barney's, so that's not a surprise. otherwise, he would have to pull his money from them i guess.

Am I the only one who pictured Jay Z talking to a big purple dinosaur after reading the title?

Jay Z Demands to Barney to End Racial Profiling

Barney said - No problem! I love you, you love me, we're a happy family...

I am truly surprised he still wants to go through with the deal. He has been getting a lot of flak for this.

I'm glad this issue didn't go away, and yes, Jay Z is obligated to address this.
Jay z is part of the reason why young African Americans are profiled.

How? He is a rich mogul that know how to make investments.

He has his own clothing line, he owns a sports team, and he isn't even concerned what goes on with younger black males. I wish he was an actual representation of younger black males.

How? Like all rappers/"entertainers" of his ilk, he made millions spreading the filthy project/criminal/drug culture.

Jay Z's claim to fame are recordings which glorify violence, drug dealing and sex. 50 cent is another one who became rich by exploiting and selling the drug culture to millions of wayward African American youth. They are both rich, but their money (like most entertainers/business men) is dirty, due to how they earned it.

Also, you must understand that jay z is owned by the corporations. He sold his soul, for a few million.

I don't think you know how the music industry really works. Artist make the bulk of their money from signing deals, investments, and sponsorships. It is unusual for a rapper to make as much money as Jay-Z does, the bulk of his money comes from the things listed above.

Most rappers sell around 3 million records, at the most if they are lucky. And there are tons of of people who take cuts from it after that. That's not a lot of money if you haven't caught on yet.

This man knows how to make investments. There is no denying that.
