Black Culture Discussion Thread

Those who can……..TEACH, those that can’t or need assistance……ASK QUESTIONS. It’s just that simple champ. Ain’t nothing haphazard about it. Folks either have game or they don’t……and Shannon clearly doesn’t.

Shannon let black men down on this one, and put our collective image in a worse state. I wish brothas would view themselves more as target once you get to a certain point in life. Brothas out here with this game goofy, head in the clouds mindset like Shannon are destructive to our cause and agenda as a whole. WE have to think like that scene in Menance II Society…..”the HUNT is on…….and YOUR the prey”. If you think like that there will be less of an opportunity to be road kill like Shannon in this situation. That…..and folks won’t have this “haphazard” thought process either.

🤷🏿‍♂️ y’all got it…man that pay say that it simplifies the ting but that didn’t prove true for unc here 😬😮‍💨

I believe that Shannon has some trauma from his childhood that is causing him to make these decisions. I don’t know how the young people date nowadays but I’m glad that I’m happily married and not in this cesspool. I’m younger than Shannon and I have nothing in common with my 20 something year old niece and nephew. I love them but I’m too old for what makes that generation happy so Shannon was an easy mark. Maybe skip set him up

from how man was chatting with this woman, could be that’s of a distinct appetite that not for everybody…the skip angle is diabolical 😮‍💨🤣

"Shannon Sharpe let Black men down" is wild.

Does this logic work the other way?

When Shannon Sharpe got his gold jacket, did his NFL Hall of Fame induction uplift Black men?

As far as the other way around…..YES, to answer your question. Using your example Shannon’s Hall of Fame induction can be seen as a proud moment in general, particularly to black men if you listened to his speech.

Again, I’m speaking from a collective IMAGE standpoint. You have to or should that once you reach a certain point in life or in your career you are a target and should move accordingly. Ain’t nothing to be scared or worry about. There’s enough prior examples out there for black men to know that the enemy is coming. Which is a great opportunity to show and prove as far as I’m concerned.

I specifically remember Shannon mentioning his brother during his speech and him wanted his brother to be inducted as well. Saying….”just look at the numbers”. I thought it was noble for him to want his brother (who even Shannon says was like a father to him growing up) Sterling to be where he was. It was good to see one black man highlight another black man like that….even during HIS moment.

Did Obama uplift black men up from a collective image standpoint when he was elected??

I don't know Fam.

Not sure how a football player's induction into the NFL Organization's Hall of Fame or his decision to trick off all his money with white women impacts my life in the slightest, just because he happens to be a Black man.

Sounds like Respectability Politics IMHO.

Colin Kaepernick would be more of a reflection on Black People because he gave up his career to speak out, and successfully sued the NFL for blackballing him, not because he played for the 49ers and made it to the Super Bowl.

NGL, I had no idea the National Anthem contained racist verses before he did what he did.

If anything, we shouldn't be praising actors, singers, movie stars, or athletes as "leaders" or "role models" unless they're willing to lose it all by standing up and speaking out for the plight of Black people in America. Ex: Jackie Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Harry Belafonte, Craig Hodges, Jim Brown, etc.

Malcolm X spoke about this very thing decades ago, and how dangerous it is because rich, powerful people select our leaders for us.



Anyways - Shannon Sharpe is a lifelong simp. If he prefers to trick with his money, then that's his business.

Seems to me we are doing a lot of victim blaming instead of focusing on the perpetrators of the shake down.

And let there be no confusion, Shannon Sharpe is indeed the victim of a shakedown. The fact that he's a trick doesn't mean he isn't a victim.

Two things can be true at the same time.

Yes - Mr. Sharpe is a certified and proud trick/simp who prefers the company of / transactional relations with whores.

Yes - the Lawyer and the "victim" are liars who are only interested in extorting people using the legal system as a tool to extract resources.

Not sure how either of those things reflects on Black people as a whole.

Reference Obama - Eh.

Was I proud that a black man was elected? Absolutely.

Did I vote for him twice? Sure did.

Was I extremely disappointed with the results? Yup.

Did I learn from my misplaced pride and unwarranted jubilance? Sure did.

Was I fooled the next time they brought out a black face? Nope.

Did I vote for Kamala Harris? Absolutely not.

This was the first election since I was eligible to vote that I stayed home.

After watching 2 of the videos that you DCAllAfrican DCAllAfrican posted about Jason Wilson……that brotha needs help. A therapist, some counseling or something. You can truly see the effects of growing up without a father in the household for a lot of these dudes out here. It’s not his fault but dam……sometimes in life you can’t focus on your past, just gotta pick up the pieces and move forward.
 


People CAREEEEEEE to much man. I wish a person would try me like this.

People care tooooooo much about the opinions of others. That’s the problem in our society.

And the people who’s opinions they value ain’t got a damn thing most of the time and are miserable themselves

That same cousin who clowned him is probably a bum. Plenty dude’s who have slept with many women out here…. Are bums and depressed.

Having a lot of sex doesn’t make you any better than the next person

That man has to be insufferable to be around all day :lol :rollin
 


In my past/younger years I’ve told women that I hadn’t had much sex. The first girl I actually did it with thought I was lying. She thought I was super experienced.

The point I’m making is, women won’t believe you anyway. Whether you’re lying or telling the truth
 
Haven’t seen all the details and dont plan to check into them, but saw something in another thread that they’ve been ******* since “late 2022.” “Late” had to be included because to start that year she was 17. So yeah, Shannon wilding. Fumbled the bag and kicked it out the back of the end zone.


P Present
The presidential race in this country is always between 2 people (the respective candidates of each major party), which means it’s always “the lesser of 2 evils.” There’s no one walking the earth who I agree with about everything, not my best friend, not my wife, not my parents and certainly not a presidential candidate. That said, one party actively works to harm citizens, especially black citizens & other minorities. This administration immediately got in office and said if you’re black with a high ranking govt position, you aren’t qualified. They fired the joint chiefs of staff and replaced him with a guy who needed a waiver to get the position. They’re cutting any funding they can if a company/organization thinks non white men deserve a shot and are qualified.

Now since youre in this thread and was proud that Obama was elected, I assume you’re black. (I know I can be wrong here. )Based on just the stuff up there, proudly declaring you absolutely didn’t vote for Kamala is insane. Even if you’re not black, trump is ruining the country by any objective measure. And he only got that opportunity because he got people to vote against their own interests and convinced a lot of black people that it didn’t matter who won.
