Red was a legend and all time great
Black comedy icon Redd Foxx gave Mr Miyagi(Pat Morita) the down payment for his 1st home. Told him don’t worry about paying me back.

When my old man was at work I’d play Foxx’s party albums…I understood about 10% of the jokes, but his delivery was always on point. I read that he lost a lot of his money opening bars and stores in St. Louis for his people to manage and they would rob him blind…and the PAAGs did him no favors too

No more PAWGs, PLEASE??!!!??
Redd Foxx was infamous for being generous and helping folks out. Part of the reason that he wasn't as wealthy as he should've been.

Miyagi was a sweatshop runner. He put Daniel to work. Paint that fence.

I understand. However, he died not too long after the IRS took his assets. He lived a long prosperous life prior to that. Had he paid the IRS initially, he might not have been able to live as lavishly. Who knows"Told him don’t worry about paying me back"
Too bad the IRS ain't have the same mentality
Shame how Redd Foxx went out

...to name a few. All died broke. Damn shame what the IRS did to Joe. Not to mention his handlers. It's deplorable.
Whenever I see a black athlete holding out for more money, even if it's a small fraction, I have absolutely no quarrel about it. Get everything you can.

And that’s the problem we want our own to give give give
The man loved so hard that he was willing to give it all away just to bless so many, only to have nothing in the end.
End up like MC hammer and then clown them at the end
But we call the ones that don’t want to do that selfish
I remember a story about a just drafted NFL player
His family was at the training grounds mini camp
Asking for money he went broke quick as hell
I bet they closing him now
