higher education is a lonely place as a minority. When I was working on my PhD, I was the only ethnic minority (I am a brown guy, incidentally) in my entire program.

It’s always funny to watch people who are normally “yay capitalism!” see black people engaging with capitalism and are suddenly like “oh the horror!”

My sons play very high level junior tennis, so, yeah, I actually do warm them up before most of their matches, but I understand what you’re saying . I think the point is not a dad being in the layup line, but that dad being in the layup line. Bronny, at least from the video, seems to be having fun with it.

Can Someone Please Give Jason Whitlock a Hug or Invite Him to Brunch or Something?

You’re right; I don’t have teenage sons. But I also don’t make assumptions about how people’s sons feel based on how annoyed I personally am about something, nor would I assume that my children’s feelings would be the same as every other child’s.

He's LeBron James' son. His whole life is a moment.

Yeah, I’m sure LeBron James’ son is real sad that he has, basically, the coolest fucking dad on planet Earth, and that his dad took a moment during an extremely unimportant game to have some fun with him and his friends. I don’t know how he’ll ever recover from the humiliation of having his Hall of Fame father steal…

Try to imagine this from the perspective of the kids on the court that day, not as a regular Colin Cowherd listener. If Magic Johnson had shown up at 13 y/o Prostate’s ballgame and goofed around with us beforehand, I would talk about it to this day and I am 46 years old. It would be the first thing I tell new people…

He should worry about having diabetes or a heart attack instead of shaming Black folks for enjoying life! Ugh! 

the “if it were any other dad” thing doesn’t really apply here. if your dad is 40-year-old damon young—or even the 30-year-old damon young who could still dunk easily—he needs to sit his ass down and watch the game. but lebron is ... different. like, if blue ivy’s a teen and singing in her church’s choir, you think…

What was there to get out in front of? When they dated back in the 90s it was in all the papers, there wasn’t anything being hidden then and nobody was checking for Electric Willie until he brought up this old jibba jabba.

Everyone was on cocaine in 1984. The photographers and editors must have snorted a line and ran with the story.

The sad part is most of the nastiness will come from us black folk. SMH

James Buchanan and Grover Cleveland were single when they were elected. 

Because when rich white people use their connections to get ahead, that’s just expected, but when minorities do it, that’s clearly horrible and cheating and a violation of everything America stands for.

Because she’s a single woman.

I also know that Willie Brown is an 84-year-old black man who was voted one of the 10 sexiest men in America in 1984.

While enjoyed this article immensely, it should be noted that the word GUARANTEE carries context with it. To wit, the GUARANTEE is that the cards will be replaced if a defect is found. It has NOTHING to do with the fact that desperate last-book playing backyard divas fail to read or comprehend kindergarten level words…

You “The Big Joker is the Guarantee Joker” nyuckas is wrong, wrong wrong. The Big Joker is the BIG. JOKER.

This is foolishness. The big joker is the one upon which someone has scribbled “Big” in ink that didn’t adhere well, so the word is only half legible.
