Cam Newton vs. The World
Only a few weeks in the past Cam Newton was assaulted and insulted by ESPN speaking head Kimberly Martin who completely ignored Newton’s unimaginable MVP-winning and Tremendous Bowl-appearing profession. Now, simply days in the past, brotherman hosted an occasion in his hometown of Atlanta solely to be assaulted once more. Solely this time, it was by roughly seven brothers, reported from the TSP Crew. They actually jumped Newton, making a seven-on-one combat scenario. And Newton gained. Cam dealt with them like a group of speaking head scrubs. And his hat by no means fell off his head whereas doing it. On the whole, this Black-on-Black disrespect has acquired to cease. Extra particularly, y’all gonna be taught – don’t come for Newton.
Know When You’ve Been Insulted
So, y’all’s former president, Donald Drumpf (look it up), mentioned this: “I acquired indicted for nothing. They have been doing it as a result of it’s election interference. After which I acquired indicted a second time, a 3rd time, and a fourth time. And lots of people mentioned that that’s why the Black individuals like me as a result of they’ve been harm so badly and discriminated towards. And so they truly seen me as I’m being discriminated towards. It’s been fairly superb.” And whereas in South Carolina, talking at a gala sponsored by the Black Conservative Federation, which occurred to have an almost all-white crowd, he mentioned this: “These lights are so shiny in my eyes that I can’t see too many individuals on the market. However I can solely see the Black ones. I can’t see the white ones. That’s how far I’ve come.” Furthermore, a Fox Information contributor, Raymond Arroyo, said this about Drumpf’s garish gold sneakers: “Even the sneaker factor… that is connecting with Black America, as a result of they love sneakers… this can be a massive deal, actually within the inside metropolis.” But, the Tim Scotts of the world nonetheless exist. Blackfolk will come to blows with one another if we really feel we’ve been disrespected. It’s previous time we use that very same vitality when others disrespect us.
Cease the Steal… Not That One
Observe “wypipologist” Michael Harriot, writer of the nationwide best-selling guide “Black AF Historical past: The Un-whitewashed Story of America,” is on a mission to get Blackfolk and others to cease a terrific theft that has been happening for much too lengthy. Lately, rapper/activist David Banner lamented that Blacks too usually ship our greatest and brightest to PWIs when HBCUs ought to be our solely possibility. Harriot, nonetheless, begs to vary, stating that PWIs, quiet because it’s stored, don’t belong to white individuals. “In states like South Carolina and Mississippi (the place Banner’s from), the large white PWIs have been initially funded by majority-Black tax bases. Each land grant PWI steals federal HBCU cash. Not one state public college system’s [enrollment] displays the share of Black taxpayers.” In different phrases, our tax {dollars}, throughout and after segregation, funded these colleges and the whites-only pupil our bodies that attended them for therefore lengthy, actually stealing {dollars} from HBCUs and stealing admissions alternatives from Black college students. I utterly perceive Banner’s level, however the argument Harriot makes is compelling, as properly. It takes the place that since we paid for these PWIs, why the hell are we permitting them to stay so hyper-white? And why would we give away these issues our cash, blood, sweat, and tears made attainable?
