Bomani Jones Keeping It Real On First Take

[Professor Mac]

Done be dense, He saying white people with power are the ones who can really start the change.

While thing is a joke.. we call on LeBron to speak out now the call is for the Peyton Mannings and the Tom Brady's and the team owners...

It's a circle of bullshyt... The only people that should be talking about this is the ducking government (who actually make laws and hand out the punishments when cops shoot people )

Everything else is just lip service..

 

[Ziggiy]

3:33 Is what a lot of black folks have been saying and what SAS is scared to say.

Both Bomani and the other brother made some fantastic points and they never resorted to arguing or dissing each other

Freddie Coleman is real cool, SAS is the only black man there that always wants to start some bullshyt.

Yea i remember watching the OJ documentary and one white dude said OJ was more popular than Ali

Yeah man in the states he was. My dad told me OJ was the first black kat to have major commercials selling shyt.

Man I didn't even know that was Freddie Coleman.

Black with a slave legacy are not immigrants. We were stripped bare of any African existence. We're damn near as native as native Americans. anglos got a chance to pick and choose what they wanted to keep from europe. A nation of immigrants. Ha!

He meant to say a nation of immigrants and stolen folks.....anyway well said man.

Listening to him talk he's clearly the most intelligent person on that network, it does kinda seem like he's wasting his time being there. And he knows it as well, you can tell that he's not even that into the sports themselves, he's just using it as a vehicle. He'll end up on a bigger platform pretty soon where he'll probably be able to talk more politics or general news than sports.

Would love for him to take over for Gumbel at real sports when he retires (Bomani like make a nice salary and still do his side hustles because the show is monthly). Or see Bomani on 60 minutes and use that to get a TV show on one of the cable networks.

Sadly to say dude probably too smart for modern TV. Back in the 60s and 70s and 80s when there was real commentary and reporting Bomani would have fit in perfectly. But we live in a society now where being ignorant and saying stupid shyt on TV gets rewarded. Just look at fox news and the dumb shyt Don Lemon says.

Oh snap that's you...... He mentioned that he popped up at your job too.

I heard Bomani is a cool dude. Just laid back and chill.....in the workforce he would be like some of these black engineers I deal with.

Real smart, preppy type of dude.... probably was a nerd growing up. But as cool and could hang and get along with everyone.

Reminds me of many of the brothas I knew in college and are still tight with till this day.

It was funny, I was in my cube chilling when I got a phone call but I didn't recognize the number so I was about to let it go. But I went ahead and picked it up and it was Bo telling me he was outside. If I couldn't call the show I would email him and since it was from work my address and everything was there. So he told me he was just going around showing love to the people that had really supported his show, personally thanking them. Y'all need to understand, even though he's one of us, EVERYBODY loved his show. Southern fried white dudes was calling him up on the last day crying on the air cause they was so upset. I remember talking him that day that he was gonna do bigger things than this market and they'd look real stupid for letting him go. Y'all making me for thinking about the Three Hour Lunch Break lol

that's you in his story!

Which story, my dude?

 

[UserNameless]

Y'all need to make up your minds... in the Kenny Smith sotu thread, y'all were mad that Kenny even put it in the mainstream, wanting whites to not even hear about the call to action. Now since Bomani says, "let's include the whites (which I suggested in the Kenny Smith thread...players, no owners)," y'all all jumpin' on that wave.

Fukk y'all want?


thecoli, y'all.
















Good discussion tho.

Only reason im watching today.

I started listening to his podcast about 2 weeks ago and been listening every day since.

I used to not be able to stand this dude a few years ago

This! His radio show/ podcast is must listen to. If you aint listening to Bomani spit the real daily, I might have to question your pops of some 'insufficient daddying'.

People always asking about what's the solution for black people, but having a stable family is an underrated element as Bomani clearly has shown.

Having two smart parents that are intellectually and culturally aware will allow children to grow up with their eyes and ears wide open. And not be thrown every which way by a society that devalues them. Being held accountable to your parents helps keep things in the middle of the road. Broken homes lead to broken lives and the perpetual spinning of the windmill.

 

[Motife43]

Wait that's Freddie Coleman? I'd seen him once or twice before and heard his radio show plenty times. I been thinking that's Craig Robinson, Michelle Obama's brother

 

[Verbal Kint]

My man Freddie never learned how to smile

Yes we all agree having a stable family helps. But having a stable family aint the reason Bomani is smart like this. He has said and admitted that his parents were pro-black, fought for black issues and supported black folks. These were black folks who purposely took less money to teach at HBCUs and teach in Nigeria. They also made it a point to put Bomani in a black private school because they felt it would give him a solid foundation for his upbringing.

These were parents who were down for the cause and is one of the reasons Bomani ain't out here selling his soul for pennies on the dollar.
