He will continue to make millions whilst u&d2 find all kinds of things wrong with man making money from white folks.

You miss completely the circumstance of his wealth. The story being told is that Barry and the DC city council wanted an exclusive black majority owned cable franchise beginning with a monopoly on cable in the District. They put out bids and lots of prominent groups came forth with proposals. He was a friend to the mayor so when the final consideration was before the council the Mayor but the squeeze on the council to vote for his proposals.

The fellow did not put up  a cent because he did not have it or the ability to persuade lenders to fund him. He squatted on the exclusive contract for a few years and with cable companies sprouting up everywhere the city was without a cable delivery system.

Instead of going back to the original bidders for help the City felt is was behind the 8 ball and conceded to  this fellow finding white partners. He sold his contract out completely to a white outfit and made himself a mint for doing absolutely nothing but getting over because of political pandering. It was a  kick in the stomach to the People of DC who still don't like him
