On the one hand, the guy did wrong, and this whole issue should be investigated. On the other I’m afraid of what might happen because, this is not the time for a Black college to be caught wasting Department of Education dollars.

What’s the one where you can condescendingly call someone “so well-spoken”?
It wasn’t venom, it was just highlighting blind spots. I thought it would be helpful to see your own and from there you’d be aware of it. If a lot of people tell you x and you think, “I’ve only noticed y”, your response isn’t to say “I’ve only noticed y.” The next time you respond by googling x, and then to say “I…
This has been written about a lot. And from the black perspective, “no one batted an eye” Is just false. There are usually many black people for whom it takes them out of the concert experience. They look at each other, they’ll openly stare at the white people, they’ll shake their head and occasionally they’ll walk up…
Isn’t the whole black men marrying white women, statistically not as prominent as it appears? You go through anyone that’s been an mvp candidate for the last fiver years, they all married black women. Most NBA players have black wives, not all are outspoken. Most black men have black wives, not all are outspoken. In…
At the very least it inspired the plot of chrono cross
Obviously he shouldn’t have reacted petulantly, but this is nothing the a dozen high profile athletes and coaches haven’t done to reporters. I wonder if this is news because of the optics of a bigger black guy talking to a smaller white woman. I don’t know if it was the size, race, or sex that’s at issue, but there…
I love hops as much as the next guy, but they saturated the market and really pushed a lot of styles out or warped what people look for in styles.
I like the idea of new frontiers in yeast.
The way you phrased that, it makes it look like he was put in prison for whistle blowing by Obama. Which is wrong in so many ways.
Yeah, I know what you mean, the connection was overhyped. The media portrayed it like, at every block party, you’d have kids tagging on the walls while the music was going. That being said, at the hip hop festivals you’d usually have panels dedicated to graf and have a lot of artists talking about the art just…
What Seen and his generation were doing, predated hip hop, and honestly predated those guys doing it. Same goes with the rest of hip hop, which was just dj’s playing music, mcs/hype men over music, and dancers dancing in the breaks. But after Hip Hop was named with the elements, you had more people coming together,…
That’s a thing to say now, after profits spurred on the golden age you talk about, but the truth is Will was from the streets. When he was coming up he’d battle rap with all comers, he worked with a phenomenal dj and a incorporated graf into his videos. He was deeply embedded in Hip Hop.
The problem is, the elements used to be connected. b-boys, mcs, djs were all at the same parties, evolving together, in neighborhoods painted with graf. Once rap became produced, fewer groups had djs, then it became over produced, and the dj became obsolete in groups. mcs, djs, graf artists, and bboys have become…
That is an interesting take, I’d argue Will Smith was a rapper before rap was perceived as dangerous or inaccessible for any reason other than that is was a newish art form. Rap changed around him, but he never really did.
I think the pre approval thing is very important and cannot be overstated. having money in hand takes care of a lot of issues.
Where are people going for loans? I went online though Bank of America bought in a minority neighborhood and don’t think that anyone even met me before I received a commitment. Now that I think about it. I think I had the commitment before I even picked the house. Can someone explain?
Are some people blocked from showing up here?
