people say diddy's smart, and that automatically hangs onto the larger argument that diddy's a good businessman, but i don't think so. okay, so he made shoes, he made a perfume, a clothing line. was that so god damn smart? all he did was expand his business, this is standard practice for every business out there, even the ones that failed. he didn't go about it in a particularly innovative way. he just, simply, opened a clothing line, and made a brand of shoes. and his own cologne. i don't get how this ever warrants being smart, but anyway.
that said, i hear what he's saying. those heroes you mentioned, minus blade, have never had blockbuster movies made of them (that i know of). diddy's saying he's proud that his kids can go see a black superhero in the movies, because he couldn't when he was a kid. blade wasn't made until diddy was well grown. the white boy comment was worse imo, cause you do have a point there. "my own personal house whitey". i want reperations for my people.
