I usually dont talk to anyone at work cause i dont really have to.
Plus its too loud.
But i remember one time i shared a bogey with this one Italian cat that worked the bobcat.
And he asked me "what you think of Trump?"
I said, "hes a microcosm of what this country is."
He asked me, "whats a microcosm?"

LMAO!

And ironically, or rather expectedly, your conversation is a microcosm of what the country is as well. :mjlol:

Jim Brown on Donald Trump: 'I Find Myself Really Pulling for the President'

"I should be criticizing Trump on every level because he does certain things that call for criticism," he said Tuesday on the JT The Brick Show on Fox Sports Radio (h/t TMZ Sports). "But when I look at television I see all these announcers become experts and they're pointing the fingers and they're not doing a doggone thing but pointing their fingers, I find myself really pulling for the president."

"Now, that would make me very unpopular in the black community, very unpopular with a lot of Americans," he added, "...but I think that there are certain good things that are coming out of this presidency because we've never seen anything like it."


fukk Jim Brown and anyone who loves him.

John Gotti is idolized by hip hop culture. He also was an unabashed racist.

“Hip hop culture” says and does dumb anti Black shyt all the time. I don’t get your point.

My point is we need to look at ourselves for a second my brother step back and really ask yourself whats going on?
Why are we so selective about who is a c00n and whos not?
what makes us think we can just throw our people away and not claim them no more because they see something from a different perspective?
is Irv Gotti and Yo Gotti c00ns for naming themselves after john Gotti?
no nobody correlates that with being a c00n right now because it aint a trending topic....
Look personally i think trump is a paid actor just like Obama was but trumps script is different than obamas was...
and this script or this show /progrsm that we watch is created to cause us to feel a certain way...
in trumps case they want us to feel a heightened feeling of racial agitation to keep us going at it...
all im saying is dont let this politics shyt control your mind....its always a hidden agenda especially with this much fukkery goin on in plain sight

CTE alzheimer and all that shyt....he knows he c00nin, just stop it :mjlol: he scared of metoo exposing some shyt nobody's heard of

like this is the perfect example of c00ning
not only is it the wrong definition of c00n, hes put in more work than most people on this board have been alive.

the term you were looking for is uncle toming. and i dont even think thats it. hes literally just rooting so that things dont get worse. but of course the smart dumb crowd is going to get up in arms about it.

He was one of my dad's heroes and I had so much respect for him as a player and with his activism. I kept giving him passes but I'm out of passes to give and he doesn't get to use CTE as a copout. He left the fukking game of football more or less in his prime. I still won't call him a c00n out of respect for my elders but he's become beaten down by the very system he use to fight against in his younger years.


This is almost to a tee exactly how I feel. Honestly hurts to see him of all people go down this road. My father and so many of my elders always had the utmost respect of Jim Brown because of how he always stood up for himself and his people and put action behind his words. Doesn't matter what his reasoning for acting the way he does now is, his words are inexcusable.

I'd love to see someone ask Kareem what he thinks of Jim Brown's recent stance.

For real, I think it's time to re-evaluate Brown's era in the NFL because I'm starting to think he should be ranked below Christian Okoye :comeon:

Another Jim Brown hate thread? No shots at Kap, but towards these other "protesting" players, especially those who kneel only after Trump said something....I bet all my coli cash that had Jim Brown been offered the money/resources that the owners offered/challenged the "protesting players", he would've known what/when/how to get things done because he's been on the front line, not giving out pencils or a turkey:mjgrin:

lol. You mad cause Jim Brown stated that he's giving credit where it's due and criticizing when justified? clown nikkas are trying hard to make being a blind trump bashing follower a thing and measure of a person's worth? foh



yet another thread and article that proves why Black folks continue to contribute to their own plight
In 1988, Brown founded the Amer-I-Can Program and has worked with youth across the country and gang members in Los Angeles, bringing peace to countless communities of color.
Between sports and society there hasn’t been a barrier that Brown has broken down for black people.
....after stating this, then he attempt to undermine JB's accomplishments and efforts, most of which was beneficial for Black folks, with...

But yet, he’s always been a problematic figure.
In 1965, Brown was arrested for assault and battery against an 18-year-old girl before being acquitted.
In 1968, he was charged with assault with intent to commit murder against a model – the charge was later dismissed.
In 1969, assault and battery charges were brought against him from a road rage incident, though he was found not guilty.
In 1985, he was charged with raping a woman, though the charges were dismissed.
In 1986, he was arrested for assaulting his girlfriend, but charges were later dropped.
In 1999, Brown was arrested and charged with making terrorist threats toward his wife. He was found guilty of vandalism later that year for smashing up his wife’s car with a shovel.
The only thing that should've been included in the article is what he was found guilty of...how could you complain about the common tactics of non-Blacks digging up irrelevant dirt to smear Black victims/accusers/targets, but then follow the same blueprint

How could attempt to shyt on a man of action but blindly cape for multimillionaire players that are claiming that their best efforts to combat police brutality is within a 1min40sec window, when the cameras are rolling, during a football game
