Piers Morgan: Successful People In USA....Blacks
Quote:
We also had a glimpse into the equally horrifying and disgusting mind-set of a senior local politician.
Asked to give his opinion about the protestors, Republican congressman Robert Pettinger sneered: ‘They hate white people because white people are successful and they’re not.’
It’s hard to imagine a more stupid, inflammatory thing to say at such a delicate time.
It wasn’t just deeply patronising and offensive, it was also factually absurd.
In Pettinger’s own world of American politics, the most successful person is a black man, Barack Obama.
The richest, most successful American TV star is a black woman, Oprah Winfrey.
The most bankable movie star is a black man, Will Smith.
The most successful musicians are a black woman, Beyoncé, and a black man, Kanye West.
The most successful sportsmen and women are predominantly black, from Le Bron James to Serena Williams.
So black Americans can be just as successful as whites, Mr Pettinger, you pig-ignorant douchebag.

They really think people are protesting because they're not successful?  Whew, I need one specific generation to just go ahead and kick the bucket.

These aren't true, but that's not to say they're not hugely successful.

I would say Justin Bieber is the most successful male musician right now, and Jennifer Lawrence most bankable movie star but he had to make a point I guess

What isn't true about it?
In terms of success its not just measured in terms of music sales chart positions etc. Name another female musician that is more successful than Beyoncé right now IN GENERAL?
Or a male musician who is more successful than Kanye OVER ALL?
The Will Smith one I'd give u,

I'd disagree with you on Justin aside from music where else is he successful? I mean even Drake is higher than Justin right now.
Jennifer I'd be more inclined to say I agree with you. Although she is starting to lose her light she still is pretty bankable and a go to for a hit movie.

Beyoncé IS the most successful female artist right now, & she's black.

Bruno Mars? More successful than Kanye West? In what world? Especially when all Bruno has is his music. Kanye has dozens of venues OUTSIDE of music that make him successful. I think you guys are focusing on who has hits and who is slaying the charts instead of looking at the true definition of success.
If you put them side by side list all their current ventures, endorsements, products, music, tours, celebrity, fame, etc etc... Bruno doesn't come close to Kanye...

Madonna made $75 million in merchandise sales from the MDNA Tour. The quality of her merchandise and Kanye's "fashion" line are probably similar. The MDNA Tour had 88 dates. Divide $75 million by 88 and she made $852,272.73 per show.

Well he's a musician, why would a musician be a successful fashion designer? Justin Bieber is a successful musician. The most at the moment. He does well in sales, popularity, tours, social media, and besides his antics has a solid fanbase and the critics like his music.

That's cause piers is talking about successful musicians, not the most marketable entertainers.
