[trynafeelmink]

A-Z how is this money/proceeds going to stop police brutality?

Some **** can sound good on a paper but really how does that even work?

*****s gon pull a muscle tryna stretch this **** into some good ****.

I just wanna see the black/grey/white Brooklyn Bills fitteds bruh you don't gotta piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.

Stop police brutality?? this is what people require for jay to have done "good" on this deal??

Ya'll ****** want Jay-Z to stop an issue that has plagued the black community since slave days? This how we measuring his effectiveness

So **** raising money for different programs, and funneling money towards trying to change policies. If Jay doesn't eradicate all of black Americas ill's then he clearly a balck con man only out for himself

Fam our whole point is that Jay added all these stipulations himself?

what does police and community relations and criminal justice reform mean? what is the money going to do for those causes?

They LITERALLY have a website specifically for the program (that has been running before this jay deal took place). that tells you specific grants and funds they have contributed too. Jay's involvemet in this program is simply to continue to grow this program and the money it generates. that is all.

****** act as if Jay can't personally benefit & also help out a cause... when he's literally been doing just that for two+ decades.

All this looks great

But let's take something like this for example

These grants are in the spirit of two grants issued last season to Dream Corps and the UNCF (United Negro College Fund). With this support, Dream Corps' #cut50 initiative helped to pass the bipartisan First Step Act. UNCF is using this support to develop and launch a criminal and social justice initiative that aims to alleviate the impact of mass incarceration on individuals and communities through the prism of higher education.

The NFL will also partner with digital learning curriculum leader EverFi on a high school-focused African-American History program. The funding will let thousands of students in 175 underserved schools in Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Montana and North Carolina to take part in the digital curriculum, at no charge to the schools or students.

All this is good **** it really is.

But again, to keep this full circle and remind everyone why we even here...how does this make it so that Colin "doesn't have to kneel"

It's stuff that's great in it's own right and that they could have done without any reference to Colin or his purpose for kneeling...but for them to posture it as a reaction to what Colin was doing is on some "Iight we doing this now, we ain't a good ol boy organization, get your *** up and stand for the flag" is the issue.

This is **** that they can do independent of feeling like Colin/whoever ain't supposed to still kneel for a country that doesn't prosecute law enforcement (and regular white civillians) who kill unarmed blacks.

"through the prism of higher education"

this is on some "let's send more kids to college so that they can escape the hood" which is great. but the root problem isn't fixed when the beneficiaries of these programs would still be at risk to get killed on a routine traffic stop or more specifically, after they are killed, there would be no prosecution for their deaths. that's what Colin is/was kneeling for and no matter how much good these programs do, nothing they are gonna do will validate the spin of saying this fixes the root issue of what Colin and Reid were kneeling for and that's how Hov and the NFL were trying to spin it. "We're doing something more than kneeling" No y'all are doing good **** in y'alls own right that has nothing to do with why Kaep was kneeling.

It's good work but it's still a spin. NFL offers Hov a team ownership piece to help them rebrand to a more urban audience like the NBA > Hov sees the play but knows the backlash is coming because of Kaep's situation and the kneeling thing > Hey Look We're Putting Meek Mill on Halftime shows and donating to charities, we have to do something more than kneeling GOMD

 

[finessence]

Midlife crisis for Juelz Santana’s weed carrier friend?

Lucci and Reginae’s arguments keeping him up at night

 

[delete1234]

The funniest thing about the whole situation to me is he’s doing the exact same thing he told travis NOT to do at the time.

Travis was gonna perform and make them donate 500k to social justice groups

Jay z: NO DONT DO IT, NFL IS BAD, SLAVE OWNERS ETC

Travis does it anyways,

Link for fact check https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ok...at-social-justice-charity-super-bowl.html/amp

PUBLIC (this thread included): he’s a CDDN, sell out...kardashians brainwashed him, he hates himself etc etc

fast forward to today:

Jay z throws concert in partnership with NFL...proceeds go to social justice groups, gets meek Luther king(who also ran his mouth about travis) to perform

Y’all:
HE GOT US A SEAT AT THE TABLE!!! WOKE KING!!

Only solution is give me my reparations.

Are you slow?

He never told Travis not to do it.

BMJR is a carter SERIES standout.

own my own
is underrated in the carter series song
def top 5-7 in the series

dude tryna remember why he doing this ****.

 

[Magic33]

Fam our whole point is that Jay added all these stipulations himself?

what does police and community relations and criminal justice reform mean? what is the money going to do for those causes?

What are they teaching you kids in schools now?

When we had to do papers, we actually had to fact check ****. Go to libraries. Look up information. Support what we were saying.

Now you dudes live on 90 second partial clips and partial repost from other people on twitter for information and facts. It's how Russian bots fed people false information.

Some of the stuff you dudes post is embarrassing. You base your beliefs on what someone decides to give you, without taking the extra step in finding out more. Because it's easier and funnier. It's what everyone else is re-posting. You aren't embarrassed by it?

It has to be true, because twitter and instagram said it was. This person I have never met and don't even know in real life, said it.

It's scary how the dumbing down of society is occurring before my eyes.

“After TMZ Sports reported the rapper will join Adam Levine's band on stage, Jem Aswad and Shirley Halperin of Variety reported Jay-Z is attempting to convince Scott not to perform”

and Mr twitter fingers himself, who his now performing for the NFL...also criticized Travis





Let me guess though, “those reports can’t possibly be true, jay z clarified his statement 8 MONTHS LATER”

“He didn’t want travis to play second fiddle to maroon 5” riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

 

[nawghtyhare]

such a lame *** *****
a snake too

 

[Hahahaha]

Hahahahahaha, forgot about Meek talking his ****. It’s a bad look for both but that’s it

Did Travis not perform?

Did Travis say that Jay-Z told him not to perform?

So why would you believe one of the parties involved versus Variety/TMZ?

 

[trynafeelmink]

Yes let's take the sources from variety who gave vague details on something.... instead of the direct answer from the man the vague details were about..........



****** was just in here pointing to FUNK FLEX as a credible source... only to have JD come out publicly and say otherwise. then those same people claimed Jay-Z made the call to JD

As if Jay gives two ****s about the portion of Twitter that just went on a week binge about a chicken sandwich thinks

This **** hilarity all the way around
