It is the REAL Black Lives Matter young grassroots activists that should be celebrated not these selfish celebrities or politicans looking to sell themselves to the public. Tidal needs customers, and they want the black people that pay money for their albums and concerts to pay for that also. Remember Jay Z put 56 million dollars into that . He does not want that investment to fail. If you cant see the connection between their hilariously inflated numbers, the leak of them donating 1.5 million to BLM, and the Formation video, you are an idiot. They are trying to push interest in their company hard

Good. Black people trying to funnel black dollars away from white corporations so they can do more work within the black community. (i.e. bailing out protesters, spending millions on housing projects for poor blacks, donating to black countries like Haiti, etc.)
Is that supposed to be a bad thing?
It sounds like those black folk that go out of their way to shop at white establishments cause they don't want to see their black business owner neighbors succeed. A damn crabs in the barrel mess.
Is it just me?
