I hate how they equate money with social equality. You can make all of the money in the world and you're still just a nigger in certain people's eyes.

What's even more tragic is they expect athletes with wealth to not only distance themselves from you know the other kinds blacks "niggers" but their own families. These men\women have cousins, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles etc who do not enjoy the lifestyles they do. These men\women have to return their neighborhoods and look their family in the eyes. white america is the worse. They're always preaching ancestors and tradition but totally neglect and disrespect that blacks as well as other races have their own culture, tradition, history and ancestors to honor.

Niggas are the freest we have ever been.. and yet it seems .. something ive noticed throughout my life the higher niggas climb the more they bitch up.

I'll agree to disagree. While it appears some of these brothers\sisters are bitching up. I think it's a little more complicated these days. Some of the these brothers are relied upon heavily so, messing up their earning affects more than just them.

Still cowardice back then it was a lot more to lose... i just think alot of cats are disconnected and are willingly agreeable

Brees' grandfather is also a WW2 vet, and i believe is still living iirc

so to Shiz's point, he thought it was something about the troops, but there are no longer any black players on the team to hold him accountable b/c i think he's the oldest person on the team

I bet Vilma would've checked him

Plane Flies "Stand And Respect Our Flag" Banner Before Steelers, Ravens Game

A plane flew over M&T Stadium before the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens game on Sunday afternoon and displayed a banner that read "Stand and Respect Our Flag."

A man from Essex, Maryland paid to have the message flown before the game, according to Kelly Andersen of FOX 45.

The phrase our flag is racist in itself.

I watched that and that nigga said " i be on them milds and that yak!" I fucking died lol love that nigga

This is what they want black people to stand up for?

"And where is that band who so vauntingly swore

That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,

A home and a country, should leave us no more?

Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.

No refuge could save the hireling and slave

From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:

And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave,

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave"

Any and everytime cacs bring up violent rap music each and every black person should bring this up

 

[Trillfate]

So I heard David Carr got hurt today, I’m not sure how serious it is... and I know it’s late in the game hoping Kaepernick gets a job anywhere...

But not having a decent backup QB killed the Raiders last year and Kaep is beloved in the Bay Area, if he is was gonna get a chance anywhere Oakland would be perfect.

‘We’re About Prayer, Not Protest,’ Ray Lewis & His Mom Speak Out On NFL Anthem Controversy

It’s a controversial protest sweeping the NFL right now.

Images seen around the world from the Ravens first-ever game in London, shows Ravens legend Ray Lewis, arm-in-arm with players, on his knees during the national anthem.

Players say taking a knee during the anthem is to bring attention to racial injustice. But in an exclusive interview with WJZ, Ray and his mother explained his actions on the sideline.

“We’re about prayer, not protest,” says Lewis.

Ray spoke to WJZ via Facetime from New York with his brother by his side.

“It’s a bad day when a man is crucified for praying,” says Lewis.

[Jessica Kartalija: “When you look at that picture, Ray, both of you — do you see how people could misinterpret it?”]

“Absolutely not! Absolutely not! All of these brothers that’s praying across the league, you got to look at the league, what we do — we pray!” says Ray.

Text messages sent between Ray and his mom reference his taking two knees and praying.

“I will not apologize for my son on two knees praying. I cannot apologize for that,” says Ray’s mom Sunseria “Buffy” Smith.

But since that game in London, more than 60,000 people have signed an online petition to remove Ray’s statue outside M&T Bank Stadium, which was placed there in 2014 honoring the two-time Super Bowl Champion.

[Jessica Kartalija: “What bothers you the most out of this entire situation — is it the perception that the kneeling gave, is it that people are calling for the removal of the statue, what is it that’s really getting to you?”]

“All this was taken out of proportion. He was not kneeling against, disrespecting our America. I said to Ray, you went down for the team with one knee and two knees for Jesus,” says Buffy Smith.

“Now this is where we come to as a country, to where now you want to remove a monument? A monument means things I’ve already done, not things that I have to do,” says Lewis.

Ray Lewis wanted to share this song that he says inspires him, Bob Marley’s “High Tide or Low Tide.”
