Dreams Are Colder Than Death...
I wrote something similar irt black student organizations on college campuses. As much as they say they’re for uplifting and educating black communities, I rarely, if ever, see any calls for volunteering or establishing after school programs for these communities. Even their mission statements are written to where they don’t alienate white folks. You can’t say you’re for the enlightenment of everyone about the black experience when you yourselves are failing to enlighten your own communities. Want to see a BSO that doesn’t soft shoe it? Read SF State University’s mission statement. Makes everyone else’s look like it was written by Dr. Seuss. Either be all the way in or get out the way and lend support those who are.
I listened to Bomani's podcase and was shock how much he went in without being disrespectful
People were really trying to spin the boycott "Lebron did...it was Lebron."
Dude is a good man, but, he is Coporate Bron.
Dan wrote something
Le Batard: How the NBA became a powerful political organization
He's not wrong about Jordan but that backhand compliment was salty Dan at it's best
Bleeding heart liberals are impressed by so little.
They were calling the stoppage historic, the day after.
This is why we can't get real change because you have people making a mountain out of every molehill.
Let's write after landmark legislation. Let's celebrate for reparations or something.
fukk Dan's critic of Jordan when he tiptoes around the Cuban support of Trump.
"Bu bu Castro"
Who the fukk is Dan to say "finally Jordan checked into this game"???

Whenever I see this thread up late I'm expecting Stu to get busted for trying to get a blow job on Sistrunk.

listened to bo's pod, his feelings on bron are mine exactly. i wish that was a bigger discussion across the sports media. bron does safe things like send tweets or roll with whatever action is "in" and people act like he's really putting it on the line or on the same level as ali, or even kaepernick - he's not. applaud his efforts, but don't overstate them therefore devaluing the real effort/work real activists are putting in.

Bomani calling this dude safe is laughable....This is a cheap shot, doesn't matter how eloquent he saysit....Lebron is the ONLY SUPERSTAR EVER to be this vocal. He is the reason a lot of these young superstars ARE vocal. He is also the reason the NBA is more vocal than ever, because it BIGGEST STAR is up front on these issues. Nobody with his visibility besides ALI has ever shown a fraction of what he's done on social issues. Him being "Safe" is bullshyt, simply because no one at his level of fame was doing it before him.
Bomani knows what he is doing, just like Pablo knew what he was doing, mentioning Lebron gives listens and clicks.

people like you are the exact reason Bo even had to do that pod. smh
What exactly "unsafe" is Lebron saying or doing? What is he sacrificing?
Again, this about Lebron not being Ali (Nation of Islam, Taking on the government, giving up money). You're taking people saying "safe" as an insult.
Lebron is doing good, but, he's calculated. Bomani made the observance we've been making about his response to Trayvon v. Tamir Rice. Him calling Obama and saying that's the reason they are continuing is the epitomie of safe. Obama is King Safe Negro.
"Black Lives Matter" isn't counter-culture. shytting on Trump isn't counter culture.
NIKE backed Kaep...you know, they guy who actually lost his career. Talking about police issues IS the culture.
Cut out all this "vocal" shyt. It's 2020, everyone is "vocal." You trying to create this idea everything is the same across eras.
You comparing the last 50 years to Lebron's era that he lives in, not the era he created.
You forget when Lebron was just turning his shirt inside out and shyt.

forgot derek rose was the first player out there with i cant breathe shirts, etc. today it's acceptable to be more vocal, you can even look in "woke" workplace that have allowed more noice from their black employees. lebron operates safely within the norms of today, he hasn't put himself on the line (which isn't a requirement, but people need to stop acting like he has)
