Common wants what he can’t have and doesn’t want what he can, like most dudes with “options”.

I would’ve been interviewed at least three times after I threatened the questioner and before the draft. During those interviews, I would’ve fully explained why I did what I did and it would be so endearing and eloquent, that most people would side with me.

Weren’t people upset with Aroldis Chapman? I can’t remember if it was in Chicago or New York, but there was some beef after there was something lost in translation during an interview about his domestic abuse through a coach acting as a translator.

While I do think that your answer is a good one. I also know that people who do these types of things are depending on the other person’s class and self control, so they keep doing it as that is their protection.

Dropping a few picks in the first round can cost a guy millions of dollars. Well worth sucking it up and answering the dumbass question.

No, you don’t get it. Talent overrules everything, that’s why there are so many questionable people in the NFL now. Maybe the guy that asked would suggest passing him up, but there are plenty of teams that won’t have a problem with taking him.

and that is the exact response the would want to see to not draft you.

I get really tired that the umbrella of “respectability politics” is always measured up against what white folks do. How come it can’t be measured against what some of our black parents and grandparents did/do? And, then what they taught us to do?

To the question, “are you gay?” I would’ve stood up, walked over and told him to bend over and find out.

Whew!

Common is the new Morgan Freeman. They need another black guy with a commanding voice now that Morgan is looking as close to death as he actually is in age.

Jerry effing *Seinfeld* was said to be performing to half empty halls after his show ended, but based on the popularity of Seinfeld, his fees stayed high. Why should Mo’nique be the only one who can’t cash in on her resume?

He came in on the “oooh, a chocolate brotha!” wave. It was a rebellion against all of the high yella brothers of the 80s.

Denzel got grief because he stated that he would never be caught kissing a white woman on film ... and then he did. If he hadn’t made that declaration, people wouldn’t have felt like he went back on his word.

It was long, dull and simply awful. Most people were surprised that it was the one that became a major motion picture as it was also the worst of her books.

Considering just how awful How Stella Got Her Groove Back was as a movie, it’s an absolute shame that it also cursed us with Taye Diggs. I think the reason why he keeps bringing up the “resentment” he feels is because he knows that without continuing to mention it, he’d never get black women to talk about him for…

A cross-eyed gun owner? I didn’t think it could get scarier. That needs to be a part of the background check.

Heh. No need for me to actually wish any ill will towards the Blazers, they’ll figure out a way to lose anyway, so enjoy your new and eventual tailspin. Forever.

She wants to make sure that she has some neighbors that are willing to check in on her with her now failing health.

I’m not understanding all of these people who manage to get choked out by or end up throwing their sheets on the floor, but nothing happens to their blankets.
