Hip-hop mogul Jay-Z and his Roc Nation record label are set to hold a Social Justice Summit to address concerns about systemic racism ahead of the upcoming midterm elections but Black America seems unimpressed, suggesting it’s time to go beyond Roc Nation brunches. While the summit will address social issues and the Black vote, some on Twitter noted a glaring omission — reparations. “I think we’ve moved passed Roc Nation brunches, it’s time for reparations” tweeted $KYDAV I$@96_SKY.
