Woman are also capable of sexual abuse of male and female family members.

Yes, very true. I just read Vanessa Williams autobiography and she talks about how this happened to her with her female babysitter assaulting her when she was a child unfortunately. One of my male cousins was also assaulted by his female babysitter when he was a kid.

Not too sure if this is a conspiracy or not, but I'd consider this a very well known open secret.

Unless you're extrordiarily smart or talented, true contrarians are not valued in almost every industry not just in Corporations. Every single industry has adapted some form of corporate politics, and in order to move up you can't be contrarian.

This is seen as early as University, perhaps even high school. These institutions are not entirely based of meritocracy and in fact once you reach a certain level it's more about your relationships with professors. I had a professor who flat out said that she's in charge of the admissions for a particular graduate program. Which means even if you got a good grade in her class; which you can't entirely get unless you're on her good side, you likely wouldn't get admitted.

I've heard people not get jobs or advance due to their "communication skills", but had nothing to really do to their ability to communicate, but because they "can't relate with current employees".

A lot of black men in particular struggle, because we're naturally contrarian, whether it be from family structure, upbringing, culture or style.

This is pretty obvious to everyone here, I'm pretty sure posters such as Dr. X to personalities such as Kevin Samuels. I'm just adding that this is prevalent in likely, every industry.

Kyrie Irving is seen as one of the major contrarian in the NBA, and a lot of people within and outside the industry have been citing everything he does and his personality as "crazy", 'hotep", "woke" and all this shyt. You can't truly just be yourself.

The “lottery” is still rigged by the league, with data from McKinsey (a consulting firm) to send players to markets where they can maximize star quality. If you look at who “wins” its pretty clear why sometimes. D Rose to Chicago, Lebron to the Cavs, Mao to Houston (the same place as China’s consul). Those were markets that really wanted their hometown star.

The most recent examples, The cavs winning the lottery multiple times after Lebron left, The Pelicans winning right before they traded AD, and the Lakers also moving up too to help facilitate that AD trade.

The reason why the “process” in Philly was so hated and Hinkie got blackballed was because it drew attention to the fact the lottery could be manipulated.
When you think about it it really ain’t a secret. It’s so out in the open if you pay attention.

Most people don’t think about it. That’s why the process was so dangerous. It really got people looking too hard at the lottery. Silver being a evil genius evened the odds but it also makes the manipulation even easier now since on paper the odds are flattened.

Silver is a smart sonofabytch
