Him and his white wife. If you are not bringing a black legacy to the table why should I pull for you.
I might want him to win the bid because I like him as a person/business man.
But miss me with the Black Shit when your family will be white in 2 generations.
Just one brothers opinion.
Look I don’t want to put a hamper on your perspective but life is always about perspective. Let’s say Europeans did their thing for the last 1000 years. Let’s sing their praises for their millennium on top. How long was our reign? Their apex is based on stealing and repacking our greatest hits.
We gave them life. We have enough festivity in our pinkies than than they in 10 fingers, ten toes and a mind.
Because that’s how much they’ve brainwashed us. And some fools really do believe it. This country won’t look the same 10 years from now.Him and his white wife. If you are not bringing a black legacy to the table why should I pull for you.

man those cases arent comparable to this high profile case.Gut feeling and numbers. Since 2010 there have been over one million workplace discrimination suits filed. In 82 percent of those cases, the worker did not receive any form of relief. However, because of the notoriety associated with this case I think despite the negative numbers the NFL will see the benefit of settling the suit by agreeing to in the future show cause why a seemingly more qualified black candidate was not hired.

this isnt a regular eeoc discrimination case filed by people of no means. this would be a private lawsuit which have had very different outcomes.
2020 brought a wave of discrimination and harassment allegations against major companies like Amazon, McDonald's, and Pinterest. These are some of the year's high-profile legal battles.
#BlackLivesMatter and #MeToo movements have exposed racial and gender bias and abuse across corporate America. Now, they're taking companies to court.

the nfl is fucked.
White people arent just arrogant, we, for the most part, accept their phony prestige.

Textbook redirect.
This suit ain’t about this season. It is about a decades long history of knowing that the majority of owners never intended on hiring Black coaches until mandated.
It’s only two parties…that ain’t saying much Doc.
They are equally racist, not in how they look or how they behave, but by the results they get.
If we are owed a loaf of bread, the Republicans giving you a twistie tie and an empty bag.
The Democrats will give you the twistie tie, the bag, and the two butt pieces.
Republicans will tell you why you didn’t deserve it and the Democrats will tell you they did more for you than the Republicans.
Both parties want you to accept their efforts.
Here is the curve ball though: it’s just as many racist in the Democratic Party and Black people and people of color that are white adjacent.
There…is…no…safe…space.
We need to throw out party talk altogether. It has NEVER had anything to do with this. In our time here, we have supported both, so that means…
Policy, policy, policy.
I am not directing my entire diatribe towards you, it just hit me we need to keep diving into this.

Nobody ever said there wasn’t but to falsely equate both sides being the same is pure bullshit. There’s only one party that is majority white , racist and against anything and everything Black.

Which is the ultimate irony considering he was a "company man" regarding taking a knee
One day after Brian Flores chose to feature a Jay-Z-heavy playlist at practice on Tuesday, wide receiver Kenny Stills decided to respond to his Dolphins coach with his own choice of music.
According to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel's Omar Kelly, Stills blasted songs by Nas—a rapper with whom Jay-Z once had a longstanding battle with—on a speaker system in the Dolphins locker room on Wednesday. The move was made in response to Flores's decision to play eight consecutive Jay-Z tracks to start practice following Stills's comments about the rapper and his partnership with the NFL.
The Dolphins said Stills was aware of the playlist plan ahead of practice, though Flores did not explain his reasoning behind it.
Stills, who has been kneeling before games in support of former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and to protest social injustice, told reporters on Monday that Jay-Z's involvement with the league "doesn't sit right with me."
"He could have reached out to Colin,” Stills said. "He could have reached out to me. Some of the ways that he answered his questions, talking about ‘We’re moving past kneeling’ — like he ever protested. He’s not an NFL player. He’s never been on a knee."
"I wonder how many common people that he knows or that he’s spoken to," Stills added. "I wonder if he’s read my Facebook comments or my Instagram comments or some of the things that people say to me... To be able to speak on it and say we’re moving past something — it didn’t seem very informed."
The NFL announced the formation of the "entertainment and social justice partnership" with Jay-Z's group last week. The deal makes Roc Nation co-producers of the Super Bowl halftime show and gives the group the power to choose entertainers to perform in NFL content throughout the season, as well as the opportunity to work with the league's current social justice campaigns, among other things.
Kaepernick voiced his support Stills in light of Jay-Z's partnership and comments, taking to Twitter to thank him, Eric Reid and Albert Wilson for having "never moved past the people."

this is discrimination in overall hiring practices in the NFL and companies they own outside of football
Ex-Giant Tiki Barber responds to Stephen A. Smith's 'warning'
Shortly after Brian Flores announced his lawsuit against the NFL and several of its teams, including the New York Giants, the conversation over racism and systemically racist hiring practices grew loud.
Among the first to sound off was ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith, who took direct aim at the Giants.
“Let me say this to the New York Giants. As an organization, when it comes to black coaches, I don’t believe a damn word you have to say,” Smith said on First Take. “There’s no one more incriminating than the New York Giants when it comes to black coaches. We are in the year 2022. All of these years, damn near a century for crying out loud, there is one single franchise that has not had a black coach. That is the New York Giants.”
Smith’s comments prompted retired Giants running back Tiki Barber, who now works as a radio host for WFAN, to offer an emotional and emphatic defense of his former team.
“I can’t sit here, with conviction, like Stephen A., who doesn’t know anybody in the Giants’ organization and claim that they’re a racist organization. I would never do that. The only reason I would do that is because I’m trying to make a point, and my point is that Brian Flores is trying to make a point,” Barber said.
“The fact that the Maras, and I always said this with the Tisches as well, they embraced me like I was family. I know them intimately, so when I say I don’t believe they’re racist it’s because I know they’re not … I know they’re not a racist organization.”
Those comments did not sit well with Smith, who was quick to fire back at Barber with a stern “warning” — something others have referred to as a “threat.”
“Tiki, you don’t know who the hell I know. I’ve been a journalist for almost 30 years, I know a few people within the Giants organization,” Smith said. “I know a lot of stuff about you, my brother, that I would never say because I have the decency not to say those things.
“Chill out. Watch yourself and know who you’re talking about. That’s all I want to say.”
During Tuesday’s edition of Tiki and Tierney, Barber addressed Smith’s “warning” and offered an apology of sorts. But not before taking one last swipe at ESPN’s shock jock.
“It is not worth my emotional energy to get bent out of shape about something that I have no control over,” Barber said. “I have much respect for Stephen A. Smith. He is the prominent Black journalist in sports right now, so if he felt affronted by a conversation that I was having — that wasn’t actually about him. It was about how we have used and hijacked racism to make excuses for failing diversity initiatives — then I apologize to Stephen A. Smith.
“But that being said, he is the prominent Black journalist on a major network, and threatening another Black man is not what this country should be about. Period.”
Something tells us the back-and-forth between Barber and Smith isn’t over just yet.

He identifies as "Human being" because white people think they the default setting in life. And his dad is Black because we are never treated as or seen as humans in their white eyes. I'm not mad about this. He's lived his entire life as a white dude & his race is only a factor now because the nfl is getting called out on the legitimacy of the Rooney Rule.
And this is the coach to lead a football team of men? He sounds like a bumbling pandering child. Guess you never know with these new age Black men that hate themselves, but always try to hear both sides.
This shit would turn me off. Good luck to him.
Fuck that team
Man this dude white as hellBlack man, black child.
Man this dude white as hell
Man this dude white as hell
Shaun King of the NFL
Lol, and your girl Rachel Dolezal too
