Project Logic contributor HBA pointed out that CNBC has an interesting documentary on the New Black Overclass premiering February 24 at 9 p.m. 

In the parking lot at church, local sage Ralph always says you can have loads of money but little class—that must mean I have loads of class.  This program should be interesting.  

And what the “blank” is overclass anyway?  Is that similar to being overqualified for a job.  Yeah, tell your Student Loan provider you were looking for a gig but the interviewers keep saying you are overqualified. 

Hats off to the young brothers and sisters doing well.  I am claiming Lebron James as my “play nephew” because he has such a positive attitude.  I am stopping short of using the term “role model” because Arthur Ashe set my standards of role model very high—on and off the court.

In this original one-hour documentary, CNBC, First in Business Worldwide, provides a close-up look at the experiences of these self-made black multimillionaires, many of whom grew up poor, are mostly under age 40, and have primarily made their vast fortunes in the sports, entertainment and media industries, usually by taking more ownership and control over their brands. Collectively, black athletes in the NFL, NBA, and in Major League Baseball earned more than $4 billion last year and the nation’s 20 highest-paid hip-hop entrepreneurs brought in more than $500 million. Their newfound wealth has profound implications on their lives and their families. NEWBOs exposes and chronicles their experiences and insights as they move from relative poverty to fantastic wealth at a very young age.
