Black spending power reached a record $1.6 trillion in 2021, up 171% since 2000, but CNBC’s Frank Holland reports that Black Americans have seen their net wealth decline 14%. Bob Johnson, founder and chairman of RLJ Companies and founder of the BET Network, kicks off Black History Month with a discussion about closing the racial wealth gap. Johnson considers whether President Biden’s Build Back Better plan will ultimately improve economic mobility, and he lays out the biggest streaming players in media right now. FBI Director Christopher Wray delivered a speech on Chinese corporate espionage, saying the threat to the West from the Chinese government is “more brazen” and damaging than ever before.
