Yall shoulda heard all the excuses Brian Billick was making for Luck this morning on mike and Mike

-he must be injured

-doesn't have enough weapons


-he's not in same page with the o coordinator

-o line is shaky

-he's just a young qb

-colts havent drafted we'll enough

The sports media were making the same excuses for his daddy when he was in the league playing for the Oilers.

being a Black QB(in todays NFL), you are seen as having a physical advantage over the prototypical white qb.

So the commentaries from those on that are going to be skewed relating more to your physical ability to make/create plays, as opposed to the white qb who's playmaking skills are more cerebral b/c he's physically at a disadvantage in today's league.

white dudes seemed to have figured out the WR position. wes welker moved around like freaking pacman!

blacks have all their wealth in homes and 2007 taught people it doesn't always go up in value.

white people have stocks and bonds. and the greatest creator of wealth the last 50years has been stocks.

NBA is structured in a lot more overtly racist way than NFL. The owners don't give a fukk, unless players fukk up off the field, and a lot of brothers can't even manage not doing that, so they get these media leaches on their balls for 2-3 more years.

Too many people buy this shyt without calling it out or just being themselves. Kaep just said fukk it and the media respected him. The more you try to listen to the media so you can capitalize on endorsements, the faker you look. But don't think the teams are pressuring these player, outside of the QB, to be anything more than they are.

If brothers start looking fake, it might just be a good chance they are. Michael Vick was straight gangsta until the Fed's took him down. Arthur Blank didn't give a fukk, and was whisking him around in a wheelchair. The love boat may have messed up Culpepper and a few players, but they were falling off that season anyway and Ziggy is a strange owner anyway. Talent trumps perception in football more than any other sport, because they know the players can tell them off in a minute. Takes a real man, gay or straight, to the the shyt they do.

Some players just get caught in the media perception web and too stupid to just bust through it. Don't be angry, just ignore them. Troll them back, and they'll find another sensitive sucker. It's why a lot of Black QB's don't make it. They try to be as perfectly perceived as they were in college, and that real media heat takes them away from their game. Just turn off the TV for your first 2 seasons.

what was RG3 problem? he wasn't being fake....he was just being black with an ego.

what was RG3 problem? he wasn't being fake....he was just being black with an ego.

RG3 was only great as long as he was great. He put too much weight on himself. He was being himself, which was authentic for him, but he'd already started a fracture with his people, being a Black Republican with a White fiancee. This made the media love him more, however, once he put on his #dointoomuch cap and tried to carry his team to the Super Bowl hurt ...and blew out his knee...the anti ****** machine turned on.

The ANM will destroy any brother who fails them. It doesn't matter what you've done for the machine before it turned on you. Sometimes the length of service helps with the speed it turns, but RG3 only had Baylor and his first season in Wash to show.

Wealthy black Americans have more of their wealth in real estate, according to the study. Not including their primary residence, wealthy black families hold 41 percent of their nonfinancial assets in real estate, compared with about 22 percent for wealthy white families. When primary residences are included, the figures rise to 57 percent for wealthy black families and 34 percent for comparable white families.

Investing habits of wealthy black families

My wife's family is from the St. Simon islands down in SC/GA. You should see the trickery these folks are trying to come up with to get them off their land. Trying to up taxes ten fold and other bs.

You got geechie fam breh?

Per your link...

there are good reasons for their risk-aversion: black families are less likely to stay at the top once they get there, according to studies.
Of the black families who were in the top-third of wealth in 1984, 8 percent had fallen into the bottom third by 2009. That's eight times more than white families. Plus, only 7 percent of black families benefit from inheritance compared with 36 percent for white families.
The study suggests that the lack of diversity on Wall Street may also play a role

Wealthy blacks are such a tiny percentage of the black population (almost 1/1000, compared to 1/70 whites), using them as the basis of your argument is ridiculous (especially since many of them are athletes/entertainers).

Home ownership is the biggest contributor to net worth. But white families, the researchers say, buy homes and start acquiring equity on average eight years earlier than black families, largely because white families can lean on their own families for help with down payments. Because of less access to credit, lower incomes and government policies, they say, the homeownership rate for white families is 28.4% higher than for black families.

The recession had a disproportionately bad effect on blacks, researchers said. “Half the collective wealth of African-American families was stripped away during the Great Recession due to the dominant role of home-equity in their wealth portfolios and the prevalence of predatory high-risk loans in communities of color,” said Thomas Shapiro, director of the Institute on Assets and Policy. “Borrowers of color are more than twice as likely to lose their homes.”

Meanwhile, accomplishments like job promotions and pay increases don’t appear to pay off for black families the way they do for whites. “Every dollar increase in average income over the 25-year study period added $5.19 wealth for white households, while the same income gain only added 69 cents for the wealth for African-American households,” Shapiro says.

Differences related to inheritances, college education and unemployment also play a role. Whites are five times more likely to inherit, while 80% of black students graduate with debt compared with 64% for whites. “Similar college degrees produce more wealth for whites,” Shapiro said.

Also, the financial markets have rebounded much more than housing in recent years. Since whites are more likely to own stocks, they have seen a bigger wealth boost.

Real estate, on the other hand, makes up a big chunk of blacks' and Hispanics' net worth.

White-black wealth gap widens to near record levels





much of America’s gain in wealth is due to the stock market; the Dow has risen over 160% since its March 9, 2009 bottom.

Most of that wealth goes to more affluent—and often non-Hispanic white—Americans, which are more likely to own stocks and save the proceeds. For most Americans, homes are their biggest asset, but home prices generally haven’t done nearly as great as stocks.

U.S. Wealth Is Near a Record, Yet Racial Gap Has Widened Since Recession


point i'm making is if you didn't own stocks, which a large percent of blacks do not you didn't get anywhere. whites that didn't own stocks didn't get anywhere as well. home values declined for damn near everyone, but stock holders came out better once things recovered. And the fact is most people don't sell their home for profit like they do stocks so you can't even realize any gains....they just live in their home.

It doesn't matter since only a small percentage of whites own stocks. In fact, it's much smaller than homeownership.
Stock investments is mostly the playground of those who already have the means to take those risks: they already have homes, high incomes and healthy savings.
Once again, you're using an unrepresentative group as the basis of your argument. The average white folks don't own stocks either.
Besides, the rich are an outlier when median wealth is measured: The gap remains the same after excluding stock ownership.
