Nigeria basketball team to Stephen A Smith: Put some respect on our name. SAS apologizes

[intruder]

Kwame done let the cat out of the bag. SAS feeling heat from all sides:

The beauty of KWWWWAMEEEEH Brown ending this loser SAS

Oh please do share. I didnt hear what Kwame had to say about SaS

 

[get these nets]

But who are we kidding?

We've heard our share of ignorant comments from celebrities about foreigners in the past tho they have toned it down lately. I guess i'm haitian and i take notice of them from some of my favorite rappers like Redman to Ghostface and Nas making eyebrow-raising comments about haitians. Lil Wayne's "toughter than nigerian hair" gets a pass. But for a second as SaS was going through the names it took me back to those "african booty scratcher" comments some the ignorant clowns used to make about africans in the 80s and 90s.

I complained directly to Def Jam about the line about Haitians from Muddy Waters, and stopped fukking with his music that day.

 

[YaThreadFloppedB!]

countries really hyped over winning some preseason games

amazing

hard to blame them. Even if they don’t do shyt in the tourney they will say at least we beat the US team with the best players in the world.

even if that shyt don’t count that’s something to be proud of.

[BigMoneyGrip]

Foot on neck season.. no fly zone for SAS

 

[Henry Orbit]

He'll probably take vacation from FT after the Finals is over as he's done previously.

I hope they give him enough time.

Usually this time of year he's on vacation and the season is ending a month later than normal, then you got NFL around the corner.

He might not get a vacation until Summer 2022

Brah hit a, well I like some of the Africans like whites do to black athletes they love

Mind you these were some of my favorite rappers. I still love listening to Ghost to this day. But i too exception to the Redman one especially since that was mid 90s when Haitians were stigmatized in parts of the african-american community especially in places like South Florida and Jersey.

• Redman - Bomb traum', funkier than Haitian underarms. Represent Jersey, the land of firearms.
• GhostFace - My Memorex performed tape decks, my own Fostex/ Watch out for Haiti bytches, I heard they throw hex/ Yo, wu whole platoon is filled with racc00ns

I cant recall the Nas one right now. I have to think and look for it. He had a line

All bro needed to say was I cannot pronounce his name. That's understandable. Bro can scream Slava Medvedenko but dismissed a BM
