bro I've been doing shyt since high school and never once felt the need to flex about it over insecurities like you are right now. I even told you where to lookYOU COULD GO ON but you really can't
I asked what you are doing for Durham and the first thing you wanna do is try to shyt on me.
Typical Coli nikka, pop shyt, criticize everyone involved, do nothing and deflect.
we were in the fukking paper for it. And I been in the Charlotte thread plenty of times speaking on my volunteer service out there. You gotta be the mad childish to play the "what have you done?" game in earnest in response to your position being challenged. Online at that
I can't believe you really this hurt over an institution that's been blatantly bleeding a city dry not getting props for throwing it a bone. Holy shyt. If your immediate response to a counterpoint about a well known fact like Duke shytting on Durham then playing straight out the white liberal playbook is to hope and pray the person you're talking with doesn't care about black people then you really should just take a step back and look at yourself...
Or call me a c00n. That'll work too
someone reminds you of Duke's ongoing effort to influence and direct local policy as well as gentrify the area and the first thought is how to prove I don't care about black people. Not validity of the statement. Not evaluation of the charity (or what entity the EK center displaced). Not even about the 'charity' hustle that the wealthy use to break their friends off, get paid by the government, and get first shot at hustling the next co-opted building or social project to do it all over again. Naw - its I must be a c00n.
It's been a meeting place for a lot of black events. African art shows, Debates, Meetings, plays, I've been to a bunch of events there. It's basically an African themed rec center.
