Jr Smith: "The problem with the Black Community is not lack of money, it is our Mindset"

[The God Poster]

A gym or rec center isn't changing generational poverty. JR.

You want to have a conversation that is out of your depth.

I respect the fire. But you should put voices with more knowledge to the forefront.

You can never be taken truly seriously since you killed your mans drunk driving.

Who is appropriate to have this convo?

Are you better suited? Not even being slick with you

I wonder how Malcolm would be recieved in the modern era .

If you look at his preactivist history, then on paper, he'd be the last person folks would want giving out messages and leading a movement.

He would have gotten cooked on Twitter and TLR once they showed pics of that white girl he messed around with as a teenager

Rappers the same way

Remember when u hear rappers all the time spit” im about my hood, im about my people “

None of these nikkas came together to build shyt in the cities/hoods they in Atlanta, NYC, Cali, Chicago, Detroit, etc etc… but same nikkas living in the suburbs telling they kids “ don’t do what daddy rap about, im just doing it to feed you kids” meanwhile nikkas jumping on social media telling our kids they keeping it real and fukk 12 and snitches in the hood”

Every nba player got some cac trainer
Same in NFL

Seems like it, eh?

 

[broller]

Says a rich nikka that squandered his money away on hoes and cars

He acknowledged that in the video though..he was speaking to his younger self as much as he was speaking to others.

 

[Optimus Prime]

Sounds like JR has been spending time at a HBCU

 

[Voice of Reason]

He's right about these millionaire athletes.


A lot of them do things individually but it's glaring that they don't come together to do anything.

The money should be used to buy, run or create politicians

They all live in Atlanta on every side in and out and there’s no Super PAC, no lobbying, no institutes or foundation. Crazy how Future of all people the one who helped hbcu students get a STEM lab though

 

[HarlemHottie]

It’s the rate at which we do shyt I’m not sure why that’s so hard for people to understand

BS. We've been under a microscope since we got free, so they could lock us up and re-enslave us as per the 13th amendment. Other people commit plenty of crime, its just not as lucrative, or good for pr.

Cam used to own the laundromat across the street from us in Harlem. I believe they filmed a music video there.

He owned a liquor store and some other shyt, iirc. Dave East bought some bodegas, so I hear.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

But when Dr. Umar said this, he was vilified on this same forum

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Why is he acting like he wasn't riding around in bulletproof hummers and shyt wearing all designer shyt and thousands in jewels?

 

[RennisDeynolds]

I love how he called Russ Westbrook name out bc the moment anyone asks him anything he quick to fly out his fukking mouth with "I do this and that charity, I help so and so, imma role model"

He admits that he did all of that and blew thousands (millions) in clubs
