I'm sick of the Stephen A and Don Lemon type black folks on television, all they do is preach about the fractured black community while playing a part in its destruction. I know so many brothas and sistas who go to work, take care of their kids, pay their bills and just want to have a good time every now and then. However listening to these c00ns you would think we just sit around blazed up with our hand out saying "gimmie gimmie".

I don't know how a black man who has love for his people can constantly preach about being a proud capitalist when capitlism is one of the main weapons used to stunt - if not destroy in some cases - the potential of blacks.

Everytime SAS rants and raves about being a proud capitalist I wanna cringe.

Josh Gordon dumb. He aint Snoop, he can't afford to be a weedhead until he retire and hopefully uses his money to make more money.



will i be able to get a job if i smoke weed and take a drug test in Seattle tho?
Individual corporations can still enforce whatever policy they choose regardless of the law.

Widespread acceptance of recreational use will be the next societal change after the legalization of marijuana and will not likely happen for a couple generations.

I saw his rant this morning...I actual agree with him in regards to josh Gordon being stupid and getting caught smoking again...where I disagree with him is when he tries to make this a black people problem, and not just a josh Gordon problem....he doesn't do that with whites or any other people, don't do it with blacks....

also, all the fire, emotion, and exuberance he put into this rant, I need to see that same shyt when he's talking about non black people when they fukk up....
Exactly.
I agree with this, he should have stayed away from anything that could mess up his money or career. I just find it Ridiculous Gordon could potentially lose his career for some weed when the NFL and other leagues let some of the worst crimes and charges be swept under the rug ESPECIALLY by the higher ups.
Agreed.

I hear you, but America has a drug problem, not just black athletes. And black athletes are not the only ones getting high. To make it seem as if this is solely a black problem, and to wag the finger as if he's some sort of moral majority comes across as wrong and as baiting to me.
And this is by no means to let gordon off of the hook. He's an idiot. Plain and simple. Any athlete who puts anything ahead of the acquistion of accolades and wealth is an idiot in my book. I just don't want it to seem as if there's only black players out here getting high.
I'm willing to bet more professional Black athletes have been arrested for recreation drugs than any other race.

y'all need to pick a side with SAS and stay on it. You already know his game :manny:
Very true. When he says something next week they like, there will be melo salutes in every other post.

Only black people have "honorary spokespersons". It's obvious that Stephen A's claim to fame has been basically riding the career of allen iverson & being a groupie to certain athletes his entire professional career. At one point in time ESPN tried to make him the sports version of Arsenio but it failed & he was let go. And now he's loving those disney checks which is the reason he's always playing both sides of the fence when race related topics come up...

What I despise about stephen a is more of a microcosm of my frustration with some white people, especially those in the media. They tend to defer to ANY black person on ANY black topic as if they're "the ultimate voice of our community". Stephen A isn't my spokesperson & It's 2014 & EVERYONE has a platform to get their opinions out not just him on that platform.

Also I find it down right disrespectful that wild homos like don lemmon can get on their soapbox & publicly chastise the black community when he does nothing for the community but yet he's on his knees everynight sucking off a white man literally.

I find it very irritating when Stephen a says "as a black man I have a duty to speak on black issues". Umm no you don't, you're a below average journalist who thinks just because you have an extended vocabulary that you're a modern day "voice of our people" when you aren't.

It's just his arrogance oozing through as usual, one minute you're judgmental when bashing black athletes the next you're tap dancing better than a prime gregory hines on riley cooper, zimmerman & irsay. He's just a guy that takes himself very serious & tends to believe he's more important than what he really is.

The point is he was a garbage basketball player, terrible writer, below average journalist & rides the coattails of more star athletes that groupies to stay close them, the hell with him & his opinions...

true, we do...he playing both sides of the fence, and wearing both masks...it's just, to me, when he wears that corporate mask, he goes a lil bit too far with that shyt....if he went too far the other way like he did before he got fired, i'd be cool with the back and forth...but since he doesn't show the same vigor when its something pro-black folks, that's what gets to me from time to time...

Josh Gordon has failed at least 6 official drug tests going back to his college days. He's 23 and the dude has only been in the league for two years!

Think about that.

Fukk a suspension. Fukk a NFL career. This guy needs to get his addiction/dependency issues under control.
