As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.
The Spurs went to 6 Finals
Won 5 of them
Lost Tim Duncan
Entered a rebuild
Went 22-60
Drafted Wemby
Changed head coaches
Went from 34 to 62 wins
Made the Finals again
All before the Cowboys made it back to the NFC Championship
Time I address the elephant in the room…..There I was, trying to enjoy a Mets game like a normal American. And who shows up sitting behind me? THAT WALL-CRAWLING MENACE! And what is he doing? Save the city? OH NO!!! SITTING IN PREMIUM SEATS PROBABLY PAID FOR BY MY TAX DOLLARS!!!
Naomi Osaka on why she chose to host a party for the black tennis players:
“You know I'm seeing a little bit of-
‘Why can't you love everyone for all skin tones?’ and ‘what if someone had an all white party?! First of all I do love everyone for who they are no matter their race + ethnicity, (I'm literally half Japanese lol). I can only speak from my experiences in my own life though, growing up as a tennis player I didn't see many people that looked like ME and I feel like it's important to celebrate them.
Secondly I feel like it's important to note that there have been all white dinners/parties. I don't know how else to tell you this, I literally seen them all the time and never had an issue with it at all. To the people who ask this question I want to ask you this question too, ‘What is it about POC getting together that unsettles you so much?’
I want to end this by saying I grew up watching my dad get discriminated against, having the cops called on him multiple times at the tennis court. There are multiple things I will apologize for in my life but celebrating being black and appreciating who we are will never be something I would consider saying sorry for. Thanks.
Actually I lied, I am sorry. I'm sorry for the people who cannot comprehend in their brains that this is not about exclusion, this is a celebration about how far we have come 🖤”

The revisionist history gotta stop, and the research has to start.
“She was very problematic.” Being outspoken and passionate about your beliefs doesn’t make you problematic. It isn’t the fucking same as donating them lil’ post-biopic royalties to LATE-STAGE political causes.
Nobody remembers Lisa as problematic but y’all who don’t stand for shit so you don’t know what standing ON shit sounds like.
@jakepaul Publicly criticizing an organization that has shown time and time again that they follow no rules and regulations other than their own, is so American that China looks in disgust. Communist hate democracy. So tell us more how you hate our freedom of speech and expression…
@gotrice2024 Since you posting for negative shit lemme clue ya in a lil bit. If she was to call this in. It would get picked up, delivered back to the store or the store will tell them to throw it away. You cannot drop off food at wrong house and redeliver to the right address.
