yall make a big deal about dude, the times i've listened to him solo, he just didn't capture me. is his podcast different than his radio show? that said, bomani needs to gain 30 lbs then he could get it

:russ:you wild girl. We on the coli like his honesty when it comes to racial issues and he is honest and intelligent enough to discuss those matters. He is also a well aware kat and unlike many of these journalist who swear they are so smart but really are dumb as hell Bomani is really an intelligent kat.

Sambo Jason Whitlock.always said he wanted to be the new Ralph Wiley when it came to ESPN. But Whitlock is a pandering slob and not very bright. But listening to Bomani over the years he is the closes that ESPN has came to Ralph Wiley since he passed.

I would argue he is the best mainstream black journalist/sports personality next Bill Rhoden and Bryant Gumbal. These brothas do not duck and dodge when race comes up. So I appreciate that shyt cause for far too long these sambos duck and dodge shyt and pander whenever race comes up. Or they tap dance instead of discussing the subject with intelligence and a since of history.

He's not perfect but he's about as real as you can get at that level. I take a certain level of pride in seeing dudes like him and Michael Smith, that look like me (not literally) and are pretty close to my age out here doing what they are doing. If these guys at there ages can keep it as real as they keep it and keep getting bigger and bigger then there are no excuses for some of these tap dancing old heads.

Not crazy about Smith. But I will say this we need some replacements for Bryant Gumbal and Bill Rhoden as these kats get older. We need less steppin As and Unicron Whitlocks in the sports field.

I literally just finished reading this and logged onto the coli to post it in the Bomani thread :pachaha:

"I’m not going to hide the blackness to make sure that they can relate to me." - my favorite quote from the article

@dora_da_destroyer his radio show isn't for everyone so I understand. the reason most of prop him are for his unique takes on all things and how much smarter he is than damn near anyone you hear from in sports. read the article, listen to the link it has with him talking about donald sterling.

True....hell all Dora has to do is listen to the brotha Bomani interview when he spoke about Lebron leaving for the heat. Man he was killing them white folks in that interview. Dude is a great debater and kills fools with straight facts.

We must also realize that most these clowns who cover sports ain't got but an IQ of 60 (so it is refreshing to hear a kat like bomani because he is actually intelligent). Probably so they can fit in with some of these Neanderthal fans.

I was skittish on Smith until he brought that fire during the "black lives matter/black on black crime" bullshyt. I felt like my man was taking shyt from my brain and expressing it on a national platform. The reality is, we will only have more and more of the tap dancers. They are more palatable to the :mjpls: audience that makes up the majority. That's why we have to make sure we support those that at least try to keep it real.
