Do Warren Buffett and Bill Gates Have Anything to Say That Benefits the Black Community?

As we embark on a new year and decade ... it might be worthwhile to look back on a recent interview conducted with Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, two of the most wealthy people in American history. Neither of them came from money ... rather they made it during their own lifetime. Is it far-fetched to think that one of us villagers might have similiar destiny in store over the coming weeks, months and years?

Soulclap to Janice Coleman for pointing me to this video. Ravi Nagarajan wrote a review piece on his blog about this discussion between Buffett and Gates.




CNBC has the full transcript published on its website.

What are your thoughts on the insights provided to us by Warren Buffett or Bill Gates? Do you see anything in what they said that should resonate for us in the African American community as we look towards the future?

Al Gore Has 100 Million Reasons to Stay Out of Politics

I don't see Al Gore throwing his hat into the ring as a presidential candidate this year. His television company, Current Media, filed papers for an initial public offering worth as much as $100 million. The San Francisco company, led by CEO Joel Hyatt, shows programs created by its subscribers, and also buys some programming.

Gore, a former U.S. vice president and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, and his family own 3.7 million shares of Current Media. In addition, Gore was paid $1.05 million by the company last year. Current Media sez, "Our success is critically dependent on the expertise and continued service of our founders, Al Gore and Joel Hyatt."

What say u? Will Al Gore ever get back into politics?
