Michael Smith is a fakkit for this

[HARLEM AL]

My problem with this is if you going to do that to him you better do the same for Tina Turner. Let that shyt be equal.

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

My point is simple.
This only happens to us.
We only hear the "complicated legacy" bullshyt, when a notable Black person dies.
There was no "complicated legacy" bullshyt when Nixon and Reagan checked out.
No "complicated legacy" when Elvis or Cobain checked out.
Miss me with ALL that.

You sure about that one as that Elvis movie acknowledged all of the skeletons in his closet that complicates his legacy?

They doing it to her too. Just come over to twitter and see.

This is the new thing. When someone dies, dig up every bad thing they ever did and chastise people for being sad

 

[FeverPitch2]

Sure he did what he did, but that’s not his legacy. fukk that.

Black people are so quick to bring up the wrongs of our own. White media never does this about beloved white people who have skeletons in their closet.

 

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

I didn't know about these allegations until his death I agree with posters saying he should have been held account when alive not just to shyt on his legacy.

That movie came out last year. Elvis died 46 years ago.
Any mention of a "complicated legacy" then?
What about when John Lennon died?
He was a deadbeat dad, a cheater, a dope fiend, and he put his hands on women.
Any "complicated legacy" there?

Who says that he wasn’t though? Deadspin posted a story about it years ago while he was still alive and others did as well.

Timing is everything. And I would've prefered if people brought this up while the man was alive for him to address it. I'm not saying ignore it either but I don't think it should be a talking point 1 month within his death.

Fam never addressed. Ive looked for comments and interviews. And never was he forthright or even self-aware enough to care.

Its how he rolled. Doesnt take away his great work, but its also up to those who know to speak on his entire story.

Smith aint fam. Or friend. He a commentator.

Those stories about Elvis and John Lennon have been out there for years breh. Just because you weren't checking for them at the time doesn't mean that they didn't exist. Posters are falling into the trap of assuming that these stories about Jim Brown are only coming out now when they've been out there for years now.

Posters gotta start doing simple search instead of making false assumptions that can easily be disproven.

 

[My Girl is Bow Legged]

so jim brown not a c00n for supporting trump but michael smith a c00n for acknowledging jim brown did some fukked up shyt

nikkas defending a legacy that he himself didn't seem to give much of a fukk about in the end

Death doesn't excuse being called to account for how you lived your life

being a piece of shyt means waiting until some ones death in order to take the opportunity to try hold them accountable.
He not alive to hear your words anymore, so all you doing is hurting the people who care about him, not actually holding him accountable.
He died peacefully thinking you had no problems with him. His fam is the ones you holding accountable now. and they didn't do shyt, allow them to honor their fallen loved ones in peace. they don't deserve that treatment
