There’s a galaxy of difference between “speaking truth to power” and “coonin’ up to the massas.” Ya mans did the latter; all the while sniffin’ Kim’s panties.
And sell out black women and all who have been fighting decades for prison reform to give a Kardashian a komplement. Like, I’m grateful she used her celebrity for good but let’s not get it twisted and make it like she researched this shit on her own.
The problem is by doing that, his presence and his words only reinforce their position. Because of things like this, their belief structure only gets more calcified. They are using him as an example that what they’re doing is right. They don’t need to listen to him because they already know what he’s going to say. And…
What is even more jarring & insulting is that it comes at the end of a paragraph in which he admits “..a lot of people have gotten furious with me, saying I’m stealing the credit from African American activists who have been working on this issue for decades. And first of all, I’m one of them.”
Not when you already KNOW their agenda. No matter how much we wish it, CPAC already long told us what they stand for. They must have paid Van a ton of cash to sell out like that.
Why?
Uh, he wasn’t there to teach them anything or present a different point of view. He was there to agree with them and be their Black Friend. I fully expect him to “come out” as a Republican sometime before the election, and I look forward to the expose that exposes who is paying him.
At CPAC? He couldn’t find a cross burning that night?
He had a bunch of people lie about him curing ailments that most/all of them never had.
He won his case because the jury felt that he was not making medical diagnoses, not because they believed he cured diseases. Basically, they didn’t think he presented himself as a doctor to clients. Further, he and his company signed a Consent Agreement and could no longer make any therapeutic or medical claims in the…
As much as I like the premise of a mystery crime thriller about big pharma going after a rapper promoting Hotep and Hotep-adjacent theories, I am just shook that Nipsey was gunned down at his own place of business. He was doing what he could to give back, raise a family, and educate the youth, and then....this. This…
He claimed to have “cured” AIDS, cancer, sickle-cell, herpes, etc. If even one of those was even remotely true; he’d have been richer than Bezos and not advertising in backpage newspaper ads.
Sebi is a quack and this is a conspiracy theory. Nipsey did wonderful things for his community and he deserves more respect than connecting nonexistent dots between a doc about a fake doctor and a model citizen
Seriously? A season and a half? Why isn’t it a lifetime ban?
It’s not true that all homophobes are closeted gays. Some are just arseholes.
That was the weirdest thing! Someone said it on the podcast, I wanna say it was the Stanford medical school prof who was like, people study biology and engineering and chemistry for decades before having a true scientific breakthrough but this person studies a year and change in undergrad but is suddenly a…
So, naturally in my previous post, I was defensive, but that’s what happens when you don’t take the time to really know what’s transpiring
We don’t have to talk to them, there is no mythical bipartisan land of common ground with them, the only goal is to outnumber them and outvote them. They want you to believe that they are reasonable, that there is some common ground, that they are not utterly disingenuous on nearly every topic other than getting paid.
“My response is that, if we’ve learned anything from the 2016 election, it is that we can’t have a country where we don’t talk to those who disagree with our political views,” Brazile said. “There’s an audience on Fox News that doesn’t hear enough from Democrats. We have to engage that audience and show Americans of…
