Thats because most "woke" black people have a singular and instant results based mindset opposed to one that breeds comprehensive results and is everlasting.

So Jay Z partnering with NFL would never be the correct course of action because they are seeking satisfaction in a team signing Kaep - then being done with the issue

Same thing with Meek - everyone was in protest marching "Free Meek" - he got released so the "woke" ones are happy. I dont see those same people advocating with him with his prison reform
bullshyt :camby: you don't see no body with meek because they know its some fake shyt. meek buddy buddy up here with Robert Kraft :gucci: who is best friends with white supremacist. yea he got you out why ? you think people don't realize that. Robert Kraft dancing on stage with his chain on actin like a fool laughin behind his back. maybe the folks you callin "fake woke" see through the fukk shyt.

T.O.


Bomani summed it up well.


This excerpt sums it up. No need to window dress anything.

Ross and Jay-Z got rich because, duh, that was the point. That is what they’re about first and foremost, like most great athletes are dedicated to their craft above all else. No one gets from Detroit or the Marcy Projects to Park Avenue by accident. They did what it took to get there, and they’ll do more to stay. To expect anything else is naive.

But for men like them to position themselves as anything else is disingenuous. When in conflict with the president, Ross has chosen his friend and what that friend can do for him over his purported principles. While Jay’s support for Kaepernick was almost certainly genuine, he is in bed with Kap’s primary enemies, those who fought the hardest to silence him and his message.

No matter where Jay started, he’s now got more in common with NFL owners than with NFL players. His perspective is informed by his past and, presumably, his blackness, but his actions are largely determined by his present and his portfolio. He’s a billionaire like Stephen Ross and his buddies, and now they’re all doing business. And maybe Ross and Jay-Z can play both sides, helping the world and making beaucoup profits at the same time.

But if they’re forced to choose one, it’s pretty clear which way Ross and Jay-Z will go — the same way they’ve always gone, the one that made them billionaires. How that will play out remains to be seen.

The reality is that this started over police brutality and you will not get the police to stop shooting people by taking a knee and protesting the NFL.

Kaep was raising awareness, which is needed, but there has to be a next step after you raise awareness. That’s basic marketing.

There was never a real participation phase where anyone had to buy into what he’s doing.

There was never an end game or tangible goal.

The same is true about Jay and this partnership. It’s a marketing move, but he has products that can be purchased after you move through the marketing funnel.

But why were you calling for a boycott? Even Kaep didn't want a boycott, he just wanted to play. The boycott was a direct result of seemingly blackballin Kaep. You saw that was going nowhere, and Kaep was not gonna be employed by the NFL. Ok, so the boycott isn't an issue any longer, because that was resolved...however it was. So if you want to do business with the NFL, don't wrap it in any sort of social justice or anything, just come out and say you want to do business with the NFL.

Bomani summed it up well.

Remember that while watching two men[Jay-Z & Ross], ostensibly trying to improve race relations in America via sports but doing business with people many think — and, in some cases, know — are aligned on the opposite side of that fight. Notice that they’re moving the same way. Both are billionaires before all.
nah. This summary fits Kaep too, yet Bomani wouldn't say that because everybody is unnecessarily crowning him and is pandering

That’s my thing. What makes the NFL special in this case if it has zero to do with Kaep? This only benefits the NFL’s image.

Also...Kaep needs to be his own spokesman. I cant stand the way Jamelle Hill sunk her teeth into this like she matters here.

Fax, Kap has been silent for too long that part is getting a little suspect. He gotta make a public statement eventually

THIS, he was dissing the NFL on a record, less than a year ago...

So you are totally denying the concept that he believes they can make positive changes within society? At the end day, that's what this is about right?... By next step, I meant, next step to follow kaeps protest


Yeah I am denying because it’s fraudulent and he already proved it. He literally started a non profit with Kraft for prison reform and has nothing since except make money off it.

I’m not calling for anything. I don’t think any of this has been effective but at least a boycott would hurt the NFLs pockets and create some leverage.

I personally don’t see any correlation between protesting at football games and the issue that’s being highlighted. Everyone knows the police shoot Black people. What are we going to do about it?

We have been past the point of ineffective protesting for some time now. We need corporations and politicians in our pockets otherwise we will continue to beg for things we should take.
