RE: Soul of a Nation: ABC News Launching Series About Black Life in America
I have no idea who most of those people are. I guess they are all famous. Why not interview regular people? Mindblowing that Nick Cannon gets on an ABC show, but then again Globalist commies gotta get after whitey.
RE: Soul of a Nation: ABC News Launching Series About Black Life in America
The specter of Jim Crow is living rent free in the minds of whatever exists of the 'Black community'. All of the people this show will feature are wildly successful, yet not one of them will be able to articulate the world in which they want.

It wasn't a bad show but yeah she physically doesn't "fit" the role.
Amazing how she has evolved career wise
Who would have thought 30 years ago that Queen Latifah, Ice T, LL Cool J, Ice Cube and Will Smith would be major actors today. Snoop is a major advertiser, you can put him on anything (shi**y wine) and it sells.

I met Snoop once. He walked right up to me and was like hey man how are you. We chatted for a couple minutes and he walked out into the rest of the crowd. Was pretty cool.

LOL, I was just telling my wife what would compel a person to buy a celebrities endorsed product? Is it that they lead such miserable lives themselves that they think by buying said product they're cooler for it?
My wife said that I'm the opposite and that I bought the cheapest. Ha, ha, I laughed at that...but she's right. Why buy the $1,000 dollar gadget when you can get one that does the same thing for much, much less. For women it's purses and shoes. My wife used to buy expensive stuff before I married her and then I taught her to economize. My expertise came from being the sole wage earner and having two kids. She also would just pick up whatever in the supermarket until I showed her she had to look at the prices beforehand. LOL

RE: Soul of a Nation: ABC News Launching Series About Black Life in America
Quote:Jemele Hill, staff writer for The Atlantic and former ESPN commentator who sparked national controversy when she referred to President Donald Trump as a “white supremacist,” has called for an end to the singing of “The Star-Spangled Banner” at sporting events, arguing that it has become a “weaponized” patriotic symbol.
In another article for The Atlantic, Hill lamented the NBA’s recent decision to enforce its policy on the National Anthem, reversing Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban’s decision to forgo having the anthem played ahead of games.
Playing the “The Star-Spangled Banner” at sporting events has become an empty gesture of patriotism—so empty that, when the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks quietly began skipping the ritual, 13 preseason and regular-season games passed before anyone noticed.
“The Mavericks should have held their ground, because playing the anthem shouldn’t be a pregame ritual in American sports,” she wrote. “Not during a time when many people—including many athletes of color—are deeply uncomfortable with how patriotic symbols have been weaponized to undermine and diminish the humanity of Black and brown Americans.”
“Instead of forcing Cuban’s team to back down, the NBA as a whole should revisit its anthem rule. Other leagues should do the same. The ritual enforces a rote, narrow idea of patriotism—one that pro sports should be working to change, not uphold,” she continued.
Hill then recounted some of the national anthem’s checkered history, including the fact that its creator, Francis Scott Key, was a slave owner who once said that black Americans are “a distinct and inferior race of people, which all experience proves to be the greatest evil that afflicts a community.” Though the national anthem has long been a rallying cry for patriotism, especially during the Civil War, Hill argued its presence at sporting events was largely a machination of America’s Military-Industrial-Complex.
“The enshrinement of the anthem into sports ritual wasn’t entirely the result of teams’ or fans’ patriotic feelings,” she wrote. “In 2015, the Republican Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake revealed that the NFL, Major League Baseball, and other pro leagues have received millions of dollars from the Defense Department for national-anthem performances, military-appreciation nights, and other activities promoting the military.”
Hill concluded that the enforcement of the “conservative definition of patriotism” in the wake of the Capitol Hill riot “just doesn’t seem right,” fearing that it will “embolden people who insist upon an exclusive form of patriotism.”
While Hill certainly takes issue with exclusive forms of patriotism, she has no issue with enforcing exclusive forms of American blackness. In 2020, when then-candidate Joe Biden said that black Trump supporters “ain’t black,” Hill said the comments were accurate.
“I don’t have a problem with the statement because he was clearly referring to this from a policy and track record standpoint. If you’re black and you support anti-black policies and positions, then that makes you …? You’re still technically black but you ain’t with us,” she tweeted.

That's not nice King, bad dog, bad dog (by the way I once I had a dog named King, he liked dragging his sorry ass on the rug).
My wife did not worry about how much or what store she spent it in because she was single and as such any money she made was wholly hers. When she married that changed because both of our salaries were tied together as a couple. I couldn't spend my check on me and vice versa, we had to compromise on expenditures.

Funny, because I wrote that after my Trumpian friend posted on FB about buying this wine solely because of Snoop.
