Selling Out

[gllahone84]

Stolen Legacy is a great read...but I found The Mis-Education of the Negro to be one of the first books that put me on.

After that it was on to books by Ivan Van Sertima, Cheikh Diop, Chancellor Williams, Anthony T Browder, and a host of others who had a purpose in shedding light on an untold history.

Metu Neter volume 1-6...and most of that Kemetic knowledge I read back in the early 2000's. 

Then I jumped into the black literature, and after that I realized that some of the earlier books I was reading didn't even relate to our issues over here in the sates. Some of those books I was reading were strictly Hamitic in nature, and didn't really have anything to do with our struggle. Our struggle meaning the blacks in the western hemisphere.

I understand Nicki Minaj's background and that's no excuse for her buffoonery and c**nery. I know plenty of people that emigrated from islands and had it much worse than her growing up, but they made something out of themselves without sacrificing their integrity in the process.

"Yes Master" McNabb.....

That is their situation, not hers. I'm not here to make excuses for her. However, Lil Wayne and Baby made her an offer, she looked at her talents and future prospects, took the offer and ran with it. Sure her gimmicks are comical at times and sickening to some, heck even she finds it that way (I'm basing this on her MTV Diary or True Life episode whichever one it was) but this was the best opportunity for her to get out of poverty and she took it. At the end of the day most rappers are entertainers and not musicians.

Off Topic...but I almost got it into w/ McNabb at the club like 4 years ago in Philly.

Alcohol is a dangerous drug

No worries, McNabb is really good at taking punches.....he got yearsssssssss of experience.

Man, thats screwed up. Maybe, while Karl was living amongst all these white people- he realized "these crackers arent so bad afterall", and gave up his prejudices (maybe opened his mind a little bit). Is there something wrong with that?
What he said about AI is completely true, i loved AI as a player- but hes no role model or anybody to look up to (at some point, dude could grow up)
About the Magic Johnson situation- did you think that maybe Karl wanted the best players to be on the Olympic team (to rep his country)? Other than that, why would you want to play against somebody with HIV 3-4 times a year- a lot of people werent comfortable with that.
I love how out of all people you choose Karl Malone- not because he did anything negative towards black people or is a "trader", but because he is honest and willing to accept good white people This is the kinda stuff i have a problem with

Karl Malone fathered a child w/ a 13 year old when he was grown 20 year old man.

AI is more of a role model then he could ever be

That is an excuse. The route she has taken to get out of poverty, is selling out. The disproportional body modification, the appearance of wanting to be white, wearing chicken wing necklaces. I don't care about an adidas deal or Pepsi deal, however when you take those steps to get those endorsements, that's betraying yourself and selling out.

Integrity and character don't mean **** anymore to people.

 

[wavy bone]

That has nothing to do with the topic at hand, its disgusting though. Thanks for trying to void my post with irrelevant info as always (and he was 19 at the time). I never said Malone was a role model, but he isnt a "trader".
Yall are right about Nicki though (not to mention MANY rappers and artists), perpetrating negativity

He was 20. And it's "traitor".

Trader? :x

I'm glad he did so. I'll never forget that Rush Limbaugh basically trashed McNabb on national television, and said his accomplishments meant nothing and McNabb said absolutely nothing and just went back inside the house and starting sweeping. However, as soon as T.O. said something about McNabb a few months later McNabb had the nerve to call it "black on black crime". McNabb is a sellout in the biggest way.

McNabb did rip on the Shanahans though......as he was "looking out" for his fellow Black QB brethren RG III.



McNabb never spoke up.....not at Syracuse....Philly.....or anywhere.

if i'm poor, i'm doing what I can to get out of poverty. I'd rather worry about being better off and being an arsehole than worrying about rent or living in a bad neighborhood.

. @ "black on black" comment by McNabb.

I guess he didn't want that Campbell soup money to dry up so he played the good little negro instead of roasting Rush Klanboss. Sidenote: McNabb's persona always annoyed me. It seemed like he tried very hard to come across as non-threatening when he didn't have to.

 

[elpablo21]

Yep, that's what Stephen A pretty much implied. He said he was always smiles and stayed in line with his personality to appease the "majority"

Stop it Deuce. McNabb is a better role model than your boy AI could ever dream of being .

 

[obeahmyal7]

Some of you guys are incredible. Donovan McNabb is a sell out? Here's a man who for the last ten years has played an important role in raising awareness about diabetes. A brother who throughout his career was the consummate professional, never threw his teammates under the bus, never acted like a primadonna, and you fools have the nerve to call him a sell out? Oh right, I forgot. Those calling McNabb a sell out are the same ones who venerate AI, the antithesis of professionalism. 

And in many ways, the attacks McNabb received do constitute "black on black crime." First, T.O. was quick to get in front of cameras crying in support of "his quarterback" while dogging McNabb. Bernard Hopkins has routinely ripped McNabb as a house negro, for forgetting about his roots, and whose blackness was in question. And to say nothing of the court of public opinion (Deuce King, Brolic Scholar) who have reproduced the faulty logic of their hero's. Some of you brothers need to check yourself and how you define blackness before you project the "sellout" label.

THIS THIS THIS THIS

When TO jumped on TV and broke down into tears over Tony Romo yet 18 months was killing McNabb I was done with him. I never forgave him for that.

 

[oh you mad]

Ask Magic Johnson and Allen Iverson.

what does that mean?
fool what he do

Watch your language champ. To answer your question I'll copy and paste my comments from the 'Karl Malone Appreciation" thread in S&T.


To answer your question, Karl Malone is a house ***** because he tried to blend in with the white people of Utah. There's nothing wrong with a black person wearing cowboy boots, wearing a cowboy hat or driving a 18 wheeler, those are all things Karl Malone did or still does and some would define that as him trying to be white, which I don't wholeheartedly agree. However, Karl Malone is a house ***** because he is a Republican, and he was critical of Allen Iverson for bringing hip hop to the NBA. His stance against A.I. was to try and make black people or the younger black generation look bad in order to make himself look good in front of white people, just so he could get a pat on the back by them. Any black person who is conscious would know or understand why Karl Malone would be viewed as a house *****/sell out. If you still don't think Malone is a house *****, just ask Derrick Coleman.

Also, he came out STRONGLY playing against Magic Johnson in the NBA even AFTER Karl played with Magic on the Dream Team in '92. Just as Magic Johnson said, Malone showed no signs of concern or said nothing negative about playing with Magic while on the Dream Team because he had HIV, so why did he wait till afterwards to finally speak up and say something.

People should look up to Karl Malone, unlike A.I's broke $#% Karl Malone was smart with his post nba career. More young guys should want to aspire to be successful.

Taken from an article

Karl Malone has become a successful entrepreneur since retiring from professional basketball. A list of Malone's businesses and properties:

Full or part ownership in four restaurants, in Louisiana, Idaho and Utah.

A body shop and collision center, now under construction in Draper.

Three oil change-service stores.

A cattle ranch in Louisiana.

Two condos at Green Valley Resort in St. George.

A "few thousand acres" of Louisiana property, which he uses for a tree-harvesting business as well as mineral rights.

A commercial development business, currently focused primarily on developing a large mall in Ruston, La.

A 12,000-square foot building in the aforementioned mall, which Malone is trying to fill with retail stores

A deer-raising venture.

A hunting guide business.

Title says it all. 





I can think of many more...and from slavery to the present day there seems to never be a shortage of these types. 

why is he a sell out?

lol word? he's one of the most conservative justices on that bench, hardcore republican...makes ron paul look like clinton (almost). point is, its ridiculous to be republican and black and/or gay. hell after the past 6 months im convinced that women who are still republican are racist...if not legally ******ed.


i think mainstream rappers are sell outs for the obvious reasons.


o yea..black people who vote for obama because he's black are sell outs too. srs...

 

[Sir San Diego]

Wow. I never called McNabb a sellout, I laughed at him for equating criticism from a black teammate to "black on black crime" and am criticizing him myself for not taking a vocal stance in defense of himself and the other black qb's who played before and will play after him, when Rush Windbag talked down on him. I think he took the soft road, not the high road.

And who are the heroes whose "faulty logic" I'm following? Go ahead and put some words in my mouth.
