Blake reminds me of the Oklahomans I was around that told me they never heard of Malcolm X until the movie came out.
this reminds me of when we were in history class in 11th grade and I was the only one who knew what NAACP stood for :mjcry:

I'm sure Blake straddles the fence between the white and black worlds but his best friend is DeAndre Jordan and I know DJ has him on some nicca sh*t here and there. So we're not looking at a total Russell Wilson type situation right here. Ya'll ease up on my peoples:whoa:

-But really outside of Martin Luther King most schools in general won't tell you sh*t about black history or notable African Americans of our past whether you're in a black or white school . If it weren't for old school groups like BDP, Public Enemy, Native Tongues and the like alot of us wouldn't have been on our sh*t. So most people aren't exposed to things of that nature, especially if they aren't the type to expand their knowledge or reading

Black people who are oblivious to race relations scare me.
You'd be amazed by the level of (willful) ignorance white people have on Slavery, Jim Crow and the Civil Rights Movement.
It's not really surprising since those topics are mostly shunted or minimized on high school textbooks.To find throughout coverage of these topics, you'd need to go to college or do some research yourself.

Dogs....I knew black people from Tulsa....TULSA...who said they never heard of Black Wall Street and the Tulsa riots. :damn:

Had a shorty from Tulsa come out here and chill with me for a week back in the 90s and she said that in front of me and a cat from the FOI. Me and dude looked at each other like :dahell:

She had to come all the way to BK to learn about her own history? I just let dude drive the wheel and teach her. :snoop:

Oklahomans are ass backwards

My ex was from africa, she said mixed people were called colored. Other than that, that dude is full of shyt.

I'm Eritrean breh and the colored term is only in South Africa, the rest of the continent is just like here, any shade of black = black. Hell, there's more albinos in Africa than in the world combined and they get treated like any other African, so it's embarrassing to see people post shyt like he did since there are Anericans who never been exposed to Africa who would think what he says is true.

I think Blake looks just like both his parents. I don't see anything suspicious about that pic of them. :dahell:

In Nigeria, Blake would be considered "half caste."

I feel that people forget the tapes came out right after the playoffs began. And honestly, I don't think they should have wanted to win the title any less as players because of what he said. I understand the players that wanted to continue playing :yeshrug:. I think it would've been different had the tapes come out around the new year
