how much more “visible” should he be?
This is still behind the scenes. I respect it. But that aint visible. Stephen Jackson actually went to Minny. Jaylen Brown drove from Boston to Atlanta. These ppl are not the face of a movement, they haven't profited off of the cause via sneakers. Im not saying the nikka need to be on the frontlines, but he only speaks like once a year he's not visible.

People all start from somewhere
like is aid jared leto is out there
ariana grande is out there
nina dobrev is out there
where oprah, where beyonce, where all these ignorant azz rappers
I'm not sure why y'all refuse to believe people can grow from their previous transgressions. This generation seems to love to label people for life for any missteps they may take.

Jmare007 x Bryan Danielson x JLova = King Ghidorah
See I be feeling conflicted over stances like this.
Like coli tell us what is the proper way to handle this.
On one end _____ person does something in the past that we don’t agree with. But later ______ person does something great for us that we can actually be proud of.
But is it right to look at this person as “fukk him/her forever, I will never fukk with him/her over past shyt”?
Or do people get redemption and can grow and change?
If people can’t get pass your past shyt, what is even the purpose of growth and change or trying to be a better person? Not trynna defend Don, just curious about the coli stance with this in general, cuz y’all be over the top unforgiving sometimes

I don't trust lemon booty or CNN. Never forget Lemon booty was talking about black men need to pull up their pants and clean their neighborhoods back when Obama was in office.
IMO CNN and Lemon are just pissed cause these big time actors and actresses won't come on their shows and talk. Giving them some sound bites cause lets be real all they gonna do is spin their comments. For example lets say Will Smith agrees to come on.
First question they gonna ask is what would you say to black folks rioting? If will says I understand, but please don't destroy your neighborhoods or destroy property. CNN spins it as see Will Smith says do peaceful protests. If Will Smith says what you expect folks out here tired. Then CNN spins it as see Will Smith agrees with the violence.
Also there are many C list and D list actors and actresses ready to talk. shyt I am sure Ice T and Cube will come on and speak. Plus some music artist who will speak. But see they want that gotcha moment from some big name black entertainer. This shyt lemon trouting out ain't about real conversation and solutions.

THIS! Where is the smoke for the DA, chief of police, city council, mayor, and other politicians?!
What good is a statement from a ball player, actor, etc going to do?
