I’m not celebrating no billionaires, even if they are black. Class solidarity yall ✊🏾
I’ve always had a soft spot for the padres! Now will be rooting for them just a tiny bit more!
When you have that kind of money, the only identity that matters is “rich”.
Black capitalists are still capitalists. Capitalists need a permanent underclass to exploit; in our society, that means other black people and people of color.
Leave this style of vapid identity politics back in 2016.
I can’t find where her or her husband made their money. She’s incredibly smart and talented but how did they make so much money?
I don’t know why we’re still celebrating capitalism. Idc if the capitalism is Black or White.. it’s evil.
I’ve seen what her husband and his friends have done to my favorite football team, so I’m dreading them owning my favorite baseball team.
>”Them old racists are turning in their graves.”
I wonder if he’s aware we’ve got some new ones, too, on this side of the grass.
Lol it’s her HUSBAND’S money
Kwanza Jones sounds like the alter ego of a black superhero from the 60s. Or a Black character from a JK Rowling book.
Them old money yt folks gonna try to do her like they did the previous black lady president of Harvard
Old racist? Graves?
I do not care.
Call me when the actual players and staff own the team. Celebrating the achievements of billionaires in private equity is like celebrating a thief for robbing your house and buying something cool with the proceeds
from pawning your sh*t.
When will we learn not on skin folk is kinfolk?
The comments are making me proud of everyone. 👏
This is a bot right? How do you fall for this PR bullshit so easily?

It’s funny the first woman MLB owner is the owner of the PADRES
Cool but let’s look into her campaign contributions
it took way too long for this to happen but it’s huge ngl. baseball ownership has been looking the exact same for a century. hopefully she shakes things up in the front office.
You can’t be a billionaire and a philanthropist.
And why should people celebrate? It’s just another bourgeois buying a baseball team. Black or not I’m not celebrating that.
This would be great. She would be first black woman majority owner and her business partner would be first Puerto Rican majority owner for mlb team.
A bunch of miserable people in this thread. Y’all wanna see people do good but not that good.
AND it’s the largest sale in MLB history. [Padres finalize sale for MLB record $3.9 billion: José E. Feliciano buys franchise with eye on World Series](https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/padres-sale-mlb-record-3-9-billion-jose-e-feliciano/)
Why is it always about “owning the racists” and never about empowering yourself?
Turner dies and this is the next day (to me ) news. What a world
I did some research on her. She’s accomplished a lot and seems to have given back a lot too. A post in 2024 indicates she was in strong support of diversity, equity and inclusion and LGBTQIA rights.
If that all still stands two years later, good for her.
(Black man here) As much as I hate it when Black men sh!t on Black women, I’ll get this nonsense out of my system early this morning.
Remember that there’s only 1 race on this planet in which the women outperform the men both in education and in equity. Sadly, I think this is why we have situations like the reaction to Megan and Klay.
On topic: Good for her! Need more of this!
That’s great… I do need to know if she’s maga though.
Was she filthy rich before or after marrying the private equity partner? Serious question.
