Remind me of the "American Indian Schools"

 

[Mark Antony]

Has he though?

The fundamental problem of Black people in America is in the way they are seen/portrayed/represented and the policies that are derived from that perception. What has he done to make Black folks be seen in a better light in this country? Nobody will write a children's book about the ascent of Jay-Z to rap's Mt Rushmore because we all know where he came from and what he rapped about.

Jay-Z helped himself. He did tremendously well for himself, and if a black issue was a money-making avenue for him, he was on it until it stopped being profitable.

You seriously think this is the extent of it? I don't doubt he thinks with his wallet in a lot of cases, but all of a sudden he's all the way this or that?

Isn’t there already a thread for “Nas won”

doesn't happen frequent enough.

Question.

Folks are saying that getting Kap a job should be on of Jay-z's objectives.

Why is that the case? Did he SAY he was going to gdt Kap a job?

Its not so much that "getting Kap a job should be on of Jay-z's objectives".

More like Hov shouldn't have been down with Kap one minute then turned around and got into bed with the NFL the next.

Sorta like crossing a picket line because the boss was hiring that day.

Basically Hov a scab.

"There are few people who inspire as much controversy as the labor scab -- a union worker who returns to the job without permission from the union, or a nonunion employee who needs the work and is willing to put up with taunts, threats and even violence from strikers. In either case, he or she is the mortal enemy of the labor union, an organization that's designed to protect the interests of workers from the possible tyranny of management. The only true weapon of the labor union is a strike, and scab labor renders a strike useless. For employers who want to break the unions, one of their greatest weapons is the scab".

one thing that has my surprised when it really shouldn't realistically is how well organized & financed "blue lives matter" is, reminds me of Deadpool out popularizing his initial source material.

Never forget:



Jay Z is a hustler.

Sell water to a whale.

He is whatever he sells you he is.

Cant knock it.

We as a people gotta stop endorsing snake behavior as business moves.

 

[Present]

The business of business is business.

“There is one and only one social responsibility of business — to use it resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits so long as it stays within the rules of the game, which is to say, engages in open and free competition without deception or fraud.” -Milton Friedman, New York Times Magazine, September 1970

While we know not the details we can rest assured that this NFL deal is about rich people getting richer in a mutually beneficial arrangement.

What am I supposed to think when he parrots right-wing talking points that stereotype Black folks (the single parenthood comment) after riding on the Kap train? If it talks and acts like an opportunist, why should I think he is not? Jay-Z told us what he is, and I believe it.

 

[Mark Antony]

So you're actually running with that tiny clip shown from an entire forum on social justice reform?

 

[Magic33]

What about the other charities that are getting money?

And I thought they were doing nothing but throwing halftime shows last week.

What's it going to be next week that people are going to be complain about?

The agenda is funny.

It's not just the tiny clip. Go back to the OP and read the entire twitter thread.

Here's where Jay'Z's belief on what causes police brutality is problematic: by blaming "the broken family structure," he shifts the responsibility of police brutality from the cops who execute unfair laws, the politicians who design these laws, and the people who support them to the victims.

I will also assume that the premise his entire reasoning is based on (single parenthood causes insubordination) seems false considering that nobody seems to be able to prove that more than 50% of children issued from single parent households are averse to authority.

 

[Present]

When the bag is ballers / drug dealers, Jay is baller / drug dealer Shawn. Accolades.
When the bag is shiney suits / getting jiggy, Jay is shiney suits / getting jiggy Jigga. Accolades.
When the bag is thugged out / Rough Riders, Jay is thugged out / hard knock life and Swizz Beats sound of the streets Hov. Accolades.
Nas voice "BRB. Hold my oochie wally". = KO.
"Break" over
When the bag is Beyonce / Kanye / button ups, Jay is change clothes / Scooby Doo. S-Dot. Accolades.
When the bag is conscious rap Kendrick/ Black Panther, Jay is Story of OJ - Jay...but this time we don't believe you, you need more people.

Word? No Accolades?

OK.

We past kneeling.

He just a man.

I personally believe we might be suffering from a slight case of hero worship.

Never meet your heroes.

Seat at the table?

Jay been at the table.

He's the most successful rapper that ever lived...for a reason.

He's freaking brilliant. Made some of the best music / business deals anyone has ever heard / seen.

To expect him to be anything other than he is = fools wilden.

i wouldn't hold your breath.

Folks are saying that getting Kap a job should be on of Jay-z's objectives.

this logic is about as rational as LeBron is responsible for getting Carmelo on da lakers.

Can you go watch that whole hour long clip.

You'll see the context of what Jay is talking about. That clip wasn't about police brutality. It was about what is causing black men to go to jail. The rebellion and anger against authority. He added the killed part and you dudes are equating that to his thoughts on police brutality.

Meek and Jay are both talking about prison reform.

That's why it's existed for seven months and nobody gave a damn about it.

Take a partial clip and shove a tittle and it's news.

I really wish people would stop getting their news and information from twitter, it's dumbing down society.

Problem is in combating social justice issues, you have to fight specific greivances. The public is not used to that and used to hearing broad sweeping statements to make them feel good and never followed by specific action.

This is why celebrities aren't for this type of arena. They will scrutinized more than someone quietly making moves. Probably why Jay was slow to let out his philanthropic side. He knew the scrutiny that would follow.

Did he sell water to

A well

Or

A whale

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Both. Double entendre.
