He made his apology, then they bring in a white man to lecture him about an Asian man. The optics made me uncomfortable when I watched that. Every time SAS offends a group outside of black folks and is forced to apologize, ESPN always has to make a spectacle of it
Its all contrived, They spend hours a day planning these shows. ESPN knows what the fukk they are doing

Dude is a millionaire I doubt having to apologize multiple times is that difficult of a feat for him. He still wants that Disney money.
He always saying stupid shyt, it is what it is.
He apologized but you know he doesnt mean it.
His ego is way too big for that. H meant what he said. He's just backpedaling because he got called out in public.
Its easy to not be a buffoon. Stop saying stupid shyt and you wont have to apologizeThis bout his 4th or 5th apology
get these nets

He said some insulting comments, publicly. He apologized publicly.
I apologize and dont mean it on a monthly if not weekly basis, breh. Doesnt mean i'm remorseful or didnt mean what i did/said to bein with.
It's easy: I apologize. See how easy that was.
What an interesting thread. 
We know SAS to be a tap dancing c00n so his behavior here shouldn’t be a shock. And while VIers aren’t actual Africans from America they are colonial subjects of America so SAS has a weird background albeit not the same as AAs from the mainland. In terms of the diaspora, it’s the same origin story but the stories take different paths depending on where their ancestors were. Brother Malcolm would say sometimes during speeches that were better off just calling ourselves Africans in America. This always made sense to me, I’m an Ethiopian African and a breh from here would be an American African. So instead of being a minority, you’re a part of a global majority.
This logic also works if you are a child of Black immigrants. Anywhere we go in Africa, at most we’ve been adopted into the tribe so to speak but we still belong to where our parents are from. This also applies when it comes to African Americans. However despite having identities which are different it is our Blackness and our Africanness which has inextricably linked us while the cultures which come from our nationalities are what make us unique. But even in that, those cultures are rooted in Black/African culture so the similarities can still be found.
This definitely does point out how difficult things like identity can be with 1st generation Black people. I’m not Ethiopian enough to be Ethiopian and I’m not American enough to be American. That’s why leaning on my Africanness and my Blackness is better imo.

Because they’ve spent about a century being under America. That’s not to say they have a similar experience to mainland African Americans but they also don’t have the same experience as the rest of their Caribbean counterparts.
Places like that and PR are colonies so those Black people are experiencing American colonialism.
