  1. Why are people crying about another man getting paid? Y'all some hoes.
  2. Jalen Green as a 6th man seems to be ok. He needs to be ball dominant or else he just disappears.
  3. As if Barrack Hussein Obama was in charge when he was President. Or W before him. Y'all crazy.
  4. Man, Mac... The last time I did that was for some undefeated. This ain't that.
  5. I'm conflicted. Can I get these in silver or black? Would that be suspicious?
  6. Jala is awesome but my God she can barely read a teleprompter. One of these days I'm afraid KXAN is going to can her for being unable to pronounce names & words for shit, but maybe they're just cool with her being so bad because how many people really care at 7AM on Saturday? So... On the thread of hot ass news, we get one black chick... and the first response isnt about her looks, but that she's not well spoken. Guess what... I don't even know if Jennifer Reyna or any of these other chicks are literate. Don't care. I didn't come here to see Michelle Obama and Oprah speak, did I? No, I can here to see them white wimmen tiddays and a sprinkle of minorities that earned the right (and I suppose that includes Pooja, because she's 4'2" which creates some intrigue.) This isn't NPR. This is surly.
  7. The rest of the team can't shoot. They're young and bad. That's how the got Wemby.
  8. Please don't throw me in the briar patch.
  9. I don't think monetary payments are the solution (as I meetings in a previous post). I do think money is the path of least resistance and better than nothing. "Move forward" is hard to do when the pace of movement is determined by the past and there is a compound effect. It would be great if everyone really meant 'move forward'.
  10. Nice try. Where the Billionaires are is Irrelevant to the topic... And supports the statement I made. Entertain and you can be a billionaire. Otherwise, there are two in the US. What's your point again? How is that relevant to how the country was built?
  11. You mean rich like the Greenwood District before it was burned to the ground and all the rich negroes were pretty much killed? Is that the type of class issue you see it as? Unfortunately, the US has a REAL history of not allowing the black race to attain "rich" (wealthy) UNLESS it is via the entertainment of white people. It's not just class. There are, what, two first generation black billionaires that are not entertainers. 2.5 if you want to include Alex Karp. Fwiw, any / all U.S. black billionaires are first gen (there are about 12, including the entertainers.) All of the FAANG founders are first gen wealthy. Any one of them has more wealth than all of the US black billionaires combined. Hell, I know caterers / restauranteurs who are worth mid-8 figures. They weren't born rich. They were born (and still are) white. Did they work to get there? Of course. Are they unique for working hard? Not at all. We know people right here on this site that are rich and it wasn't because they came from rich class... It's also not solely because they are white, but if you think the access to opportunity was the same for them as any black person, I would like to offer you a prime piece of ocean front property adjacent to South Mountain. Look, I celebrate for everyone who makes it and everyone who is going to, but let's not bullshit ourselves. The wealth of this country was built on "a race issue". They don't think it be that way, but it do be. Suspicious.
  12. Opportunities (higher education, access to job opportunities, livable equal wages, access to credit, etc, et al) would make great reparations. But we know this isn't going to be a thing on a systemic scale, so for those of you who want to repair, be the change and whatnot. Be suspicious.
