Michael Eric Dyson: "Jay-Z didn’t sell out by dealing with the NFL. This is how activism works."

[ansatsusha_gouki]

"It was Jay-Z's presence that forced the NFL to do something it hadn't done in three years, give Colin Kaepernick a shot. So at that level, we've got to say Jay won."



CHUCK TODD: Does Jay-Z at all feel like the NFL's using him with this Kaepernick stuff or not? There's been a lot of accusations out there, that he's being used --

MICHAEL ERIC DYSON: Yeah.

CHUCK TODD: -- by the NFL on this. Do you find that?

MICHAEL ERIC DYSON: Of course not. Here's the thing. You're talking about racism and a racial lens. Why is it that we think, when a black guy sits at the table with a white guy, the white guy is using you, as opposed to, guess this, it was Jay-Z's presence that forced the NFL to do something it hadn't done in three years, give Colin Kaepernick a shot. So at that level, we've got to say Jay won.

You must be fooling yourself, if Jay-Z had anything with the workout.

You must be fooling yourself, if Jay-Z had anything with the workout.

To be clear, that is the very opposite of what I believe:

Jay-Z did not have shit to do with Kap getting a workout.

The only sources for this are Jay-Z business partners. GTFOH. This is a pro-Jay-Z PR operation, nothing more.

You need more people
And not your staffers or
Partners in corporate evil"

No? I'm just going off what I remember, but this very board ripped that album to pieces saying, "Hov is past it..", "It's whack..." etc etc.

Alotta the vitriol I see from this board in particular, you'd think Jay snatched a meal off their dinner table and owes them more than he's already given.

wrong album. but in regards to what hes doing. maybe

hear me out
