Most of these dudes dont get it. Fighting/anger/hate is a young man's game. It's a reason why people say you mello in old age, they just dont have that dog anymore.
Jim aint a c00n. He's just a tired, old man.
I agree.
But I also base stuff off history. As you have probably seen with my posts even in sports I almost always refer to history.
What Jim is doing is nothing new. I brought it up before that the NOI met and cut deals with the KKK in the south so that the klan would leave their mosques and farms alone.
Garvey met with the klan because he thought he could use their influence in the government in order to help with his movement back to Africa.
As I have said since the election and since Trump got in office this the 60s again. Trump is just like Nixon....divide the country up during election then try to mend the fences (with hand outs and promises) after.
Remember Nixon ran on the southern strategy, got in office created affirmative action, worked with black businesses and even gave out grants to the inner city (even the black P stone nation in Chicago actually got funding from the Nixon administration).
While at the same time Nixon administration had a war on drugs and targeted black organizations and white radicals.
Last note.....the Howard professor David Carr basically laid it all out this morning on NewsOne.
