its really interesting. it talks about how athletes today are like slavery. Its true if you think about it, you have white ownerhip and black atheltes are getting tons of money becuz of there atheltic gifts to make a profit for the owner. Yet the owner still has all authority to get rid of that player and not resign hm if he doesnt want to.

that sounds dumb to me though.... in that case, i would love to be a slave. if they are slaves, then what does that make normal blacks??

i understand the metaphor, but it still sounds pretty dumb to me.

THEY ARE MILLIONAIRS!!!! that is what everyone wants to be, and they are not slaves, they easily can just quit.

bad analogy.

in my opinion

What ever happened to the book club that got started and nobody could agree which books to read?

Just like niggas smh

And as far as the 48 Laws of Power I think that is a great read.

It's not really the thoughts of Robert Greene it's just a collection of ideas from a bunch of great leaders.

The laws need to be taken in context and also some laws make other laws null and void.

This book should be read in it's entirety first and then you should focus on a different law daily.

Actually, we did choose and read The Bluest Eye. The problem was, for all of the talk beforehand, not many participated in actually reading the book. I think A Clockwork Orange was the next book.
