So let’s go back to when we looked the other way on people’s crimes. Talk about not seeing double standards
Michael Smith is a fakkit for this

Yet people don’t talk about Martins murky personal life. People pick and choose.
And I think it’s a fair comparison. When we explore the life of a victim of crime we look at everything . The same way we doing this. Why did Trayvon life get put on display of that wasn’t the case?

I never said that.

Mourning the dead properly is not enough to get clicks and views on the internet. You gotta bring the dirt and dark parts to keep the conversation going and to get folks talking because that’s where this society loves to stay. In Darkness
Boondocks made a Jim Brown woman beating joke damn near 20 years ago, not sure why people are acting like this is new information.
I'm sure the woman he threw off the balcony tried to run
And he said they got into it because she was mad about his affair with Gloria Steinem
Brown denied the allegations in every case. “I’m no angel,” he told The Plain Dealer in 1970. But regarding the allegations, he said, “I’ve never been convicted. I’ve just been harassed. I’ve been hit so much I don’t sting any more.”
When facing such controversies, he added, “I take it and look my accuser in the eye. I don’t look at my shoes when I talk to anybody. I know what I am. I only have to live with myself.”
Are Michael Smith and Bomani leaving room for the idea he may have been set up. One instance I saw being bought up was him throwing a woman out a window. But when I looked into it further,the woman said she jumped out the window when the cops came. And in the other instances the women recanted. Plus what complicates things is that slapping your woman was deemed okay. So judging him from our refrence today is a little unfair. Jim Brown has never been convicted of his crimes from what I saw. And it was the 1960s where theres plenty of evidence of black men being set up
If you want to talk about nuance and how complicated it is. Why not bring up those ideas as well?
He got swindled financially by his pops and manager and died broke, but still didn’t change the fact that he was a drug head and went against his original morals.
Multiple things can be true at the same time.
Posters on here are running on false narratives to support their arguments when these Jim Brown stories have been out here for years.
Dude was a complicated man. Some of his dirt is a part of his legacy, you don’t make people into complete angels when they die. My only gripe is that Michael Smith is a person that always seems to lead with the bad when it comes to blk athletes.
ITS NOT THE SAME THING AT ALL...
KOBE GOT ACCUSED OF SOMETHING
BY A WHITE WOMAN
AND WAS NEVER PROVEN GUILTY.
ITS A FACT JIM BROWN
WAS BEATING ON bytchES.
You dont see the difference in coli posters and Michael Smith? Like you said its their jobs to talk about sports. You cant tell me they just now learned about this stuff with Jim Brown. They have a platform,and Im sure have talked about Jim Brown before. Acting like you suddenly give a damn rubs me the wrong way. You couldve held him accountable plenty of times on your t.v shows,columns,podcast. While the man was still living,but you didnt want that "why you tearing a black man like Jim Brown down" smoke. So these cowards waited til they saw smoke from the lymchmobs torches,before they grabbed their pitchfork and started poking
A lot of you nikkas can’t handle the truth about certain things. I only look up to people I actually know. These entertainers and athletes are not heroes.
Tina was most definitely not an angel. Kinda similar to Bobby Brown and Whitney. Everyone assumed Bobby corrupted her and was the bad guy in the relationship when Whitney was no saint from the beginning.She was definitely
Ike was no saint, by any stretch, but that movie was cap deluxe.
Ike signed off on that movie. If Ike knew how that film was going to permanently taint his legacy, he wouldn't have.
When Tina passed, I did not slander her. I wished her a peaceful rest and stayed quiet.
It's not hard to do.

Not sure why people are acting that this was a topic people never touched until now.
