The Apprentice…Randall Pinkett!

Randal Pinkett 34-year-old entrepreneur from New Jersey, was named Donald Trump’s newest protege in last weeks live two-hour season finale of “The Apprentice.”

In the midst of earning five degrees from Rutgers University, the University of Oxford at England and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Pinkett has overseen the creation of five companies, including his latest venture, BCT Partners, a management, technology and policy consulting firm based in Newark, N.J

Much of the blogosphere since (however you spell it) was pissed at Randal for not suggesting that Rebecca should be hired as well especially since Trump very casually mentioned that he could have been convinced to hire her.

I agreed that although it was “cold”, he was right in his decision.

The whole series is based on proving that you are better than the other person. The only time contestants are pushing for each other is when they are on the same team. Tonight, Randal and Rebecca were clearly not on the same team. This is kinda why I do not think this was a fair question given the stated goal of the show–to become THE apprentice.

Randall stands as a reminder to every black man, that in America you can succeed!
