Black Culture Discussion Thread

[Public Enemy]

I'm strictly discussing LeBron feeling the need to say he is protecting his daughter in the scope of protecting her reproductive rights. She is good no matter what in that department.

How that got flipped into me thinking rich black folks can't get harmed is amazing but expected.

That's why I said yall got it.

Legit misunderstanding bruh. I agree with you and everybody else that he personally could see to it she could get an abortion if needed. I guess you were only talking about him and I thought the point was the larger point about wealth and the ability of that to make things like fines and fees be irrelevant for the wealthy while being crippling for folks closer to us. But if you saw his post as merely stating the obvious, that he has enough money to take her wherever she needs to go to get whatever she needs to get done (aside from a critical care emergency where a physician was too afraid to help for fear of getting a felony conviction and there wasn't time to medivac elsewhere), then I get why you were annoyed cause it's like bruh we know that.

I still wish he'd endorsed her a lot sooner, like Steph and Kerr and others did months ago. But whatever. We're here now and gotta deal with this **** for 4 years directly, then 30 more years at least when Trump replaces 2 supremes.

Life’s Work: An Interview with Ketanji Brown Jackson

Jackson announced her ambition to sit on the Supreme Court when she was just a teenager. Now she is the first Black woman to do so.

Why does it matter if LeBron endorses her? As a matter of fact, do we even believe him (or other celebrities) endorsing candidates matters? Is there any sort of data that supports it does? Legit asking.

Quite frankly, the number of celebrities that are even used in the whole election process is insulting. I am talking about on both sides but since I'm black especially the number of black celebrities that aren't even know to be high value individuals telling us who to vote for just comes off as insulating man.

I get trying to meet folks where they are but at a certain point you gotta rethink the strategy.

When they had MADE Gucci tell people to vote.

When they had MADE Gucci tell people to vote.

Yea I wonder how that process works. I just assume since they probably have incriminating info on all of them they aren't allowed to say no. But I don't buy it being genuine.

 

[tr1ll]

IIRC it was part of his parole. I don't even think he really tried to hide the fact either.

I’ve been saying that for years. MOST (not all) people out here are immoral, selfish and really don’t care much about peace and tranquillity in society. That’s why they worship a dude like him

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Which is why I have an issue with people that respond to that case of Nepotism that's taking place involving the LA Basketball team as, "Our turn to use nepotism in our favor." So you recognize it as an issue when they do it but when we do it you pretend it's OK?

It's hilarious to see man.

Goofy. LeBron, YOUR daughter will be fine. There is nothing that you need to protect her from. Celebrities have to cut this nonsense out where they pretend they will be / are affected by the things common folk are affected by. Cut it out man.

Performative nonsense.

Exactly. Currently Lebron and his family reside in the state of California…….where any and everything goes. His daughter will be just fine either way. No need to hype it up on his end.

But he should have known folks would have come for HIM like that. Not excusing the things they said to him but he's an easy target.

I assume the woman’s (ignorant) tweet is in regards to the % of Latinos that voted for Trump, yet Tariq is a Trump supporter himself so…..

It’s no energy for marches and all that anymore so what shorty saying is irrelevant

But Yea the police act a lil different when Trump and that side in charge so dudes better recognize that and move accordingly…It’s been quiet for a couple years on that front so alotta folks forget how the boys was moving his 1st term

We got up to 90%, so sure if you know a specific dude that did that, sure go for it. But don't try to punish my black *** cause I would vote for a dead dog before I ever voted for Trump, or these days even any republican.

That’s the problem with the men vs women bs that happens on socials

Wish all that bs would stop cuz it causes some ppl to bring that energy into the real world

Trump did get 20% of the Black male vote in Wisconsin though, up from 8% in 2020...

There are some pockets of America where he made definite gains among black folks.

tik tok is a really interesting space, parsing out the sarcasm, satire, and/or seriousness of some content…seen that the south korean women’s 4b movement is getting brought out again on there as a result of the trumpers getting on. the idea that it should be black men’s ‘fault’ & should be penalized for trump being elected is the height of delusion

 

[deuce king]

Notice this woman is in her bed……….ALONE with no ring on her finger. The fact of the matter is her claims of black men getting arrested or pulling over by the cops is irrelevant because generally speaking ain’t no man calling on the assistance of a woman if they do get jammed up by the cops. Men know and learn how to stand on our own two feet……real men don’t cry and ask for help…….let alone from a woman.

At the end of the day this black woman and many more that think like her should have put forward a better so called black woman to run for the presidency…..regardless of which political party you vote or affiliate yourself with. Kamala got washed for various reasons…….and she lost favor/ground with many black men because they simply didn’t have confidence in her to do the job. Thats not on black men………that on her.
