What do you expect of Billionaires being the leaders?

What in the hell do you know of Trump or Elon Musk. Not one damn thing.

I think everyone on this forum knows more than you do.

Martin Luther King grew up rich. As the son of a minister everything was given and guaranteed. Rich beyond the dreams of the average black person at the time.

Being rich eliminates Martin Luther King from your comparison

Don't play the fool.

On November 25, 1926 Christine married a minister by the name of Michael Luther King at her father's church. Instead of Christine moving in with her new husband he moved in with her and her parents in the family home. Over time the Kings would have three children born in the home, Willie Christine, Michael Jr. (later known as Martin Luther King, Jr.), and Alfred Daniel.

4) Genghis Khan

Genghis Kahn started out as poor as it gets. Literally naked, cold, and alone.

He fought and scratched his way to the top, and single-handedly built the largest empire which has ever existed, second only to the British.

No, Martin Luther King Jr. did not grow up rich, but he did come from a comfortable middle-class family:

• His parents were college-educated and had a car and piano.
  
  
• His father, Michael Luther King Sr., was a successful minister

King's family was part of a prosperous community

How many black people lived in a prosperous community, with a piano, all the food they wanted, etc.

AI don't know much, and you know less seeings how you are scrambling cause you are ignorant

I expect our billionaires to do what they have been doing for a very long time. I expect them to take care of themselves at the expense of everyone else.

We are in the Second Gilded Age.

He cares about his legacy. He will have four years in which to write it for the history books. The most important chapter of a celebrated career in the limelight. A reinforcement of his resilience

Yes, he cares about his legacy but neither you nor I can say with any certainty what legacy means to him. One thing I can tell you about his history of actions throughout his life, he does not care about doing right for others, he cares about how it makes him LOOK

That is not wealth!! That is living OKAY. That is not personally having more than just about everyone else.

Trump's legacy is already written.

Worst president ever. Two impeachments, bungled pandemic, an insurrection, and 34 felony convictions.

That's all schoolchildren will know of him a hundred years from now, unless he exceeds himself this time around and is caught eating a dog.

Martin Luther King had more than just about every black family in the USA, rich.

You are correct but then again, he did a lot of damage to others accomplishing his personal goals.

Based on the number of times he claimed somebody grew up rich, when they didn't, i'd say he's being deliberately argumentative. Since nobody with access to the internet can be that clueless.

So did every empire, including our own.

Yet, we don't have dozens of people that worked for Trump saying Trump did not care about them. I don't think there is one.

Politics don't count.

That wasn't Martin Luther kings parents home.
That was his grandparents home, that they moved into,
So I could argue they were POORER than all those black families who actually OWNED the home they lived in.

This is my last reply to you. Read the OP again. This OP is about WEALTHY people that grew up in wealth. I mentioned poor and middle class as being one and the same, contrary to being wealthy.

Here are two pics that will contradict your pics

Are you rich? Is your house or life style like Trump's? or more like Martin Luther Kings? Do you live in a Black neighborhood? Do you think that Trumps empathizes with your living conditions or hardships you have had in your life, because he went through them himself?

 

[Luckyone]

You mean we have had empires here in the U.S. Can you name one..................that was the definition of an empire?

Definition of empire

an extensive group of states or countries under a single supreme authority, formerly especially an emperor or empress.

All you're doing is pointing out how prejudice and racism held black people in abject poverty

And a black family that were barely middle class or merely poor were better off than other blacks, but they were still not rich.

What about the hundreds of contractors?

The one's that Trump didn't pay.
