Huey P. Newton said, “I do not expect the white media to create positive Black male images.” A white woman strangled her three children to death, and yet the lone Black male juror who refused to acquit her is now being cast as the problem. She is given context, sympathy, illness, and complexity. He is given suspicion.
She committed the violence, but he becomes the villain for refusing to excuse it.
Here’s something Black folks have long understood, in the United States a Black man does not need to commit violence to be treated violently.
Jalen Duren turned down 5 year, $190 million contract after the world witnessed his performance in the playoffs, whoever is in his circle is failing him.

@BobbyJinSen@REDlRKULOUS@brutalsim Fr thank you! defending this type of grind for a 1 year game is crazy to me. Don’t get me started on that rep grind also
