And so by being a Black man in a snapback, I will appeal to other Black men, and women… or anybody that comes from an underrepresented background, and I will let them know that they can sit at the table."
that appearing on Dragons' Den, in an authentic way, will show people like him that they can have a path in business.
So if you're a black man who actually respects himself and his business, and wants to have the image of a well dressed and serious entrepreneur, sorry but you just aren't being an authentic black person.
"I approach the biggest challenges in my life - whether it's Dragon's Den, starting a business or a podcast - with this video game mindset where I'm holding the controller, I am not in the game. And that means the character can die.
"At the end of the day if I fail at anything I'm doing, I'm going to be fine. I'm just holding the controller here, I'm not in the game."
Wow, I wish I could have such a privileged mindset, to not have to worry about failure because it won't actually impact me.
Also, has anybody ever heard of his social media company, Social Chain. It's apparently over 5 years old but I have no idea what it does. Maybe its bigger in the UK.
Looking it up, it seems like it's just an advertising company that uses social media instead of traditional advertising. So pushing "influencers" and targeted posts and stuff like that.
Currently, Social Chain owns over 200 accounts.[5] Some examples are "Fitness Motivation" in Twitter with almost two million followers and "Love Food" with almost seven million followers.[6]
Through his Social Chain, Bartlett and his partners was often described as “the kids who decide what all the other kids talk about” and the “social media illuminati”.[6] Several Social Chain's account were later found out by BuzzFeed News to plagiarize old posts in the internet.
Social Chain owns “just over 400 of the biggest social media communities” across Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. For example, @StudentProblems, which has 185,000 followers on Twitter and 4.8 million on Facebook, and shares silly truisms about student life (sample: “Procrastination level: looking at photos from nights out you didn’t attend”).
Honestly it just sounds like they run a shitload of sockpuppet/bot accounts to artificially boost stuff on various social medias.

Apparently successful minorities are accused of acting white, or they get called things like oreo or banana (white on the inside), by their own in-groups.
Crabs in a bucket, right there. "Keepin' it real" may maintain 'hood cred for them, but it won't get them respect from their neighbors in the nearby McMansions when they're bumping loud music and letting their crew party until daybreak. Like I stated in another post, these types are the thugs that demand respect and maintain it through coercion and/or fear, rather than commanding respect through their actions.

Not heard of it here either, but I think we all know he wasn't hired to the show because of his business credentials.

Social Media is going to turn into this if it wasn't already.

In short: yes.
