Brandon Marshall loses endorsement for kneeling during anthem
- Thread starter Aprogressivone
- Start date
Should be in on what ? Kneeling during the anthem ? What are you even talking about ? You Just keep saying nonsense . I had to go reread the first post to make sure I wasn't in some other thread. He spoke on the issues of social injustice already extensively this summer
and called out other Black people with influence to get involved. He's marching and opening up youth centers to help guide the black youth towards a positive path .Carmelo Anthony Backs Up His Words On Activism
And Kaepernick should have been speaking on Freddie gray, where was he at when Freddie gray got killed in West bmore by the police... See how easy that is. Why he ain't reach out to Melo, why didn't he speak up, why he ain't kneel for Freddie gray
Every black American should have been on that regardless of what there doing.
I'm not about that life tho trying to divide our people who doing work in the community.
Also how you know what he gonna do, maybe he waiting for basketball season like kap waited for football season to start.
I'm not going back and forth with you dudes tho,
Like I said respect to kap, respect to Melo and whoever else standing up for what they believe in.

Like I've mentioned in another thread, if you really like Colin, you wouldn't want him or anyone to make sacrifices that 99% of black folks finna not do themselves
Enough of the request for more MLK and Malcom X type folks, those who willing to sacrifice it all fighting for the benefit of Blackfolks, while the rest of us, do symbolic gestures of support or clap our hands on the sideline, or even worst critiizes those willing to sacrifice it all to cause some changes
I respect Colin and his efforts. I think he's genuine
I wish he wouldn't jeopardize his earning ability and instead put his money and his celebrity to support orgs and individuals who are following an unapologetic Black agenda. Look at the number of pics coming out with folks not standing for the National Anthem, how great it would be had they been inspired to use their efforts in another way
Whether or not an individual choose to use their resources for their interest, has more to do with the individual
The motivation, principles and goals of it has never changed, just the black faces through the years that choose not to implement it changes

There's nothing perverted in being allowed to use your resources to support your interest. That's freedom
Whether or not an individual choose to use their resources for their interest, has more to do with the individual
Black empowerment is something that has always been promoted with each new generation
The motivation, principles and goals of it has never changed, just the black faces through the years that choose not to implement it changes
...and yet folks of different interest, tax brackets, race, sexualtiy, gender, citizenship and politics continues to march. So

People have their own way of speaking out on social injustices.. Melo has his way and Kap has his way. Don't judge!
y'all would be the ones saying MLK not doing enough cuz he's marching and speaking out in public places.

This thread reflects the problem we have though . People shytting on melo for trying to make positive change instead of saluting people who really don't have to do shyt to help .
It's a stupid comparison and does nothing but cloud the real issue of social injustice with pointless fightingStop comparing melo and colin

I agree, definitely salute to both Melo and Colin
However, I think it's also fair that people expect "more" from those of us that have "more" and are "interested" to help spark change

I'm legit 
at people acting like Kaep kneeling during the anthem (which typically isn't even televised) is a bigger act than even just the Espy speech (which LeBron has said Melo spearheaded).
The only reason Kaep's protest is so big is cuz CaCs are showing their true colors

Let's act like Kaep hasn't said anything. Took a shytload more balls to do what Kaep did. But as far as the speech... I guess they don't need to speak out on this current situation? They'll just reference th ESPYs and they're good?

What current situation? The Espy's was this summer, you're acting like we're bringing up shyt from years ago.
I salute Kaep as much as the next man, but you're sounding like a clown in here.
