Gladys Knight is performing the national anthem for the Super Bowl
- Thread starter Esther
- Start date
Watching the super bowl? Shit, they've been locked in since the preseason.
We gon pretend some of these same fools weren't in prediction threads since the summer? Posting all throughout the year?
you don't know why she is doing the bowl - or what pressure is on her
keep in mind her son has dug a deep hole of financial issues that we know of
if she had a history of questionable choices of greed insensitivity etc it would be a different story
Its the same if Jessie Jackson pops up - who knows what arm twisting is going on
Travis has a history - so fuck him
As for Big - one day I might ask Shaka whats going on there
You respect Jim Brown?
He has an accrued credit with me that im not willing to ignore based on some poor decisions he has made recently as an 80 year old man. I still respect his body of work and his track in life. I do not respect his support of Trump.
respect ≠ revere
you gotta respect Jim Brown for his accomplishments and shit lived through
while at the sametime you can also be disappointed that he always thought of himself as "one of the good ones" a "positive negro"
disgusted by his views on race, supporting bootlicking acceptance politics and his support for Trump

Hear from her DIRECTLY.
Just looking at her, she's proud of being asked to sing.
She remembers how badly Black people were treated in GA.
It's a personal achievement for her, and a legacy move (as I stated earlier).

For someone that is old enough to have experienced racism and segregation and she does this? Nah, she doesn’t deserve it (not from me).
Legacy of what? Showing that she can be part of disrespecting a present day activist seeking to better the lives of Black people. She may have good intentions, but in the bigger picture she is being used, and she knows better. No way, with her age, coming from her era, that she doesn't understand that she is being used to cover the negative behaviour of an opressive organization.
In the 96 Olympics he walked his ass up there and lit the torch. In Atlanta at that. So we know

Guess we can't get mad when we are shot in the street, and when our women get hung in the back of the police station. As a group, we cant come to any commonality.
Football protests stop being about police brutality a long time ago. They’re about the freedom to protest the anthem.
Seriously. Look at this entire thread. How many people are talking about protesting police stations? Or voting in new leadership?
Instead they get to be woke by boycotting the NFL which does absolutely nothing the change what they “allegedly” are upset about.
Fake activism.

By fake militant logic , yes.
Now, being a sports agent and doing deals with NFL players, getting money that way is ok.
Even playing in the game is ok as long as you complain a lot whenever the camera is on ya.
There's ways around everything.
Does what exactly?
Also, its ok to disagree with someone respectfully. Every disagreement shouldnt rise to the level of removing all respect from your elder. She grew up in the 50's.. When protest actually meant vocally and actively going against the establishment and losing your fucking life. Shes actually been on the front lines of this shit and put her money and her safety where your mouth is. Meanwhile you comfortable negros have the audacity to judge and critique her from your couches while watching your big screens. Clowns.

Funny thing is, atlantans actual VOTED in a Black woman mayor,
And damn near voted in a BLack Woman Governor
And the police Dept is majority Black and very low on these police brutality issues.
And Big Boi has spoken on that innhisnactual work and in the streets. Gladys Knight BEEN did her part
I dunno Travis Scott but he ain't from Atlanta anyway.

How is she being used? Somebody is gonna sing the fukkin' song - and that GA native said "Let it be me!"
For all that she's been thru in her career, she has earned the right to choose when/where/what to sing.
Her singing the anthem doesn't cover the NFL bullshit. Anybody that thinks her participation erases what they did to Kaep and all else that went with that is feeble minded.
How about with her age, coming from her era, she has seen and experienced things people younger than her can't even imagine.
Gladys is WAY past looking for acceptance. Acceptance from whom, exactly?
Did you even watch the video? Her personal history in GA growing up, her talent that allowed her to see the world-
Now she feels fulfillment to rep her (imperfect) nation in it's biggest sporting event.
So if they asked and she said no, that's some mighty payback for the racism and segregation in her life. (NOT!)

Thank You! Nothing else to say.
let the faux-rage begin
i dont even feel like saying it again.....
There's a difference between an elder and an old muffuga. You can become an old muffuga by simply waking up everyday long enough. To be an elder you have to do things that garner the respect of the community through self sacrifice and leadership. You have to be elected and held in high esteem for your service to your community. That's why the youth respect you as an elder. Just because you made great music or great films or was even a great politician for ANOTHER GROUPS political process doesn't make you an elder. Your just an old muffuga.
That was years ago. She's been doing a run in Vegas for years now. Singing the national anthem at the super bowl is not a money grab. I dunno why people just can't believe that some people aren't buying the bullshit protest and don't have a problem doing it.
I wonder how many NBA superstars past and present will attend/watch Superbowl. Any of these purists adding them to their boycott? I don't see any NBA players kneeling in support of their NFL brethren. Why not boycott NBA too? Some people being a tad bit selective and hypocritical. I'm going to enjoy the game and halftime performances. Move on. Life is too short.
That's why too many of these black masons are a problem
They spooks sitting at the door watching us fo cacs...
I'm trying to tell yea sure most cacs are pink but don't sleep on their cacified coon yassa boys.
Cac is NOT a color it's a mindset
This Lil gnat dupree is a cac masonic maggot
Shout out to the few masons doin real work for the real gods...
The NFL is trying its hardest to get black acts involved with the SuperBowl to try to appear less racist; when there is only one thing they can do to win black people back. Let Kaep play.
All this bullshit is doing is having us push out more of our own, instead of their tokens bringing us into the fold.

These acts keep saying they're doing it for the prestige of performing at the SuperBowl. They need to talk to Chrisette Michel about how that works out. They are pretty much saying fuck Trayvon, Tamir, Mike, Terence, Sandra, Akai, Philando, and all the other victims of police violence.
Everyone want the next man to take a knee but aint did shit themselves to take a knee. The same ones complaining still watching the NFL. Since when was Kap made the fucker leader of Black people and decided how folks get they bag? Fuck all that shit go get your bag. Hell I'm the only Black at my job what am I supposed to take a knee so they hire more of us?
IMO, she can do what she wants, she damn near 80 years old and don't have explain herself. I never heard anyone call her a sellout before this anyway. Plus the NFL always been this way even back when Whitney performed at the Super Bowl. I just don't get the outrage over Gladys singing. She's a bonafied legend.
Win black people back? What world do you live on? Did you not see all the football threads on this very site the past two seasons?
The NFL could have an all CAC performance lineup and black folks would still be watching.
Nike = official sponsor of the NFL and uniform makers
Nike = Kaep official sponsor
Nike Kaep line of merch sells out to "woke" folks

Ppl gonna complain no matter what. When maroon 5 was picked for halftime, ppl was upset why didn't they get a group from Atlanta to perform. Now someone who is actually from Georgia is singing, it's a problem now smdh.
