Kyrie Irving basically said "if the white man isn't going to support us and our people, collectively we have enough money and power to start our own league." Let me tell you something, he isn't wrong. .
Kyrie Irving “proposed” in a group chat with Nets that players could start their own league, per @SBondyNYDN

14 months ago, I asked you to be my partner. On Tuesday, January 7th, I asked you to be my WIFE. The sentiment is the same for we are already equal. I can’t wait to combine last names with you. You are more than a temporary solution to the empty side of the bed, you are eternity.

I want to start a thread: Black men who have PhD’s or who are working on PhD’s drop your discipline, your university, and your research interests. My hope is to build community specifically for black men who are attaining or have attained their PhD. #trynagrad #FirstGenDocs.

I graduated from a private Christian school and, we had a banquet-style, no-contact prom. That prom was held at Nottoway Plantation. I remember arriving there and saying, “Y’all know enslaved people used to walk this land.” I was told to “stop being racist.” Well, look at God. 😂

You’re telling me, 21 Savage has been in America since he was 13, and it is now 14 years later and he’s just being caught? Three kids, a rap career, all over tv, hiding a British accent, and made up a story about growing up in Zone 6??? . 21 Savage is an IMMIGRANT! . IMMIGRANTTTT

Under Section 10.2: ‘Behavioral Misconduct’ of the student Code of Conduct this behavior could fall under H. Endangerment; L. Harassment, or P. Offensive behavior. You have the ability but you obviously do not have the integrity to make the correct decision.
@afroliviaa To be clear, we at LSU condemn hate and bigotry in any form, including racially incendiary remarks. As a state university, however, we are subject to constitutional limitation on our ability to take action in response to free speech. More:

Why does no one ever talk about Kevin Durant’s ability to make his teammates better? KD has shown in multiple stops that players don’t have to sacrifice or change their game to play with him. He's such a gifted offensive player that he can fit any system or be the system.

I often remind people that Lil Wayne and Jay Z both basically blew up within a year of each other but there's a 13 year age difference. Hot Boys, 'Get It How U Live!' came out in 1997 and sold more than 400,000 copies. That's 23 years of killing for Lil Wayne.
lil wayne has been rapping professionally for 25 years and isn't even 40 yet. he's an enigma. a lot of rappers have claimed to be aliens, but he really is one.
