  • The ball is a networking event, it is to do the same thing that white people do. I live in St. Louis, Missouri and the so called wealthy people here have a ball every year so they can network, its by invitation only. I think what they are doing is great, You need to network with people in business so you can get ahead, the white business people are not going to help them. White people help white people all day, what is wrong with blacks doing the same. They are not doing anything wrong.

  • You have to be "a part of the group"?

    Who is the group?

    "...doing something for the 'privileged' children, who people who don't believe NEED anything?"

    -Did these children establish their own businesses? Are they being honored because their parents earnings?

    "Most of us are tremendously active doing things for needy children as well"

    -So, can this ball be held for "unprivileged" children too?

    What is considered needy, to the people who attend these balls?

  • Boule ass niggaz

  • This group only wants African Americans that are either wealthy or African Americans that have connections with group members. If you are not wealthy and don’t have any connections; good luck, because it doesn’t matter if you are making a change. It is tough to get in this group. 

  • lol I recognize Bud Baker from Duke. Hey Bud!

  • To be invited to the ball "you have to be black, not wealthy but part of the group", hmmm, I think you all missed something here. This 'group' are actually the elite black boule. This is the 'group' thats referred to in the video. Go ahead & be naive to think this is a positive, warm & fuzzy story the media were caring enough to air.

  • I love this series, it's great to see the Tuxedo Ball exists!

  • It is positive to show the upper class Blacks on media. It gives the rest of Blacks that regardless of racism, there are successful Blacks out there. The role models for Blacks should be people of real achievements in Law, Medicine, Business, Education, Science, Academics. Arts not just Entertainment and Sports.

  • @aGwEENapple The "Group" is the BOULE

  • Ha sanyone noticed the color disparity between the middle-class blacks and their less fortunate counterparts. Whenever they speak on poverty and inner-city dilapidation it appears that many of those blacks are darker skinned. However, when they speak on middle-class blacks it appears that they're lighter skinned. I'm not here to create a wedge between the colors. It's just something that I've noticed.

  • wow really interesting! I just wished that racism would stop period altogether

  • @KevinTCrisp amen
