Deion Sanders says financial literacy should be mandatory and agents shouldn't take 20% while athletes are in college

“If they don't have financial literacy, which should be a class, should be mandatory in college first and foremost, as well as high school. But if they don't have that, they're going to wind up broke again”

“This broke is worse than the other broke, because the other broke, you never had it. This broke, you had it then lost it. That broke is far more severe because now you're turning into that person that wish you could've and should've and would've”

“It's a darn shame for a kid to come and make hundreds of thousands of dollars in college, then when he's done, he's done”

“Agents shouldn't even charge these young men while they're in college. If you believe in them that much, won't you wait till they get to the pros. Why are you in their pockets in college… but they got you a little deal, little NIL. Now he's getting a percentage off of it, and he didn't even tell you to pay your taxes”

“He's gone with his 20%, which is crazy. And you're keeping your 80%, but nobody paid taxes on nothing. That's a problem”

Schools won’t teach you this; that’s why we need to do personal research.

[Typical African @Joe__Bassey]

All of a sudden, no one is talking about the Epstein files, let alone anyone being charged. Assuming they were all black, the truth is they would be paraded.

[chi... @nnamanichi93717]

The Epstein file is more horrific than you think, more reason they had to start a whole new war so you could forget about it.

[Black Journals @blackJournals01]

Free Black children were kidnapped off the streets of Northern cities and sold into Southern slavery by organized gangs, for decades. Historians estimate the victims in the thousands.

They called it the Reverse Underground Railroad.

Gangs like the Cannon-Johnson ring lured free Black boys from the Philadelphia docks with the promise of a day's work, chained them in cellars and ships, and marched them south to be sold. Children who had been born free woke up as property, hundreds of miles from parents who would search for them for the rest of their lives.

Solomon Northup's twelve years was the famous case. It was not the exceptional one.

My exact issue!!! Why is Toney a freaking Normal!!! Like damn bruh couldn’t get upgraded to Star at least???

[C4 @PAPAxC4]

A complaint I've had with CFB 27 ratings is the dev traits and skill caps for big name players is wild, almost feels randomized

Jeremiah Smith = star dev
RB1 Kewan Lacy = impact dev
Cover Athlete Malachi Toney = Normal dev

Syracuse 71 OVR QB Malachi Nelson - elite dev

iight

This is the story of George Stinney
The youngest person ever sentenced to Death. Only 14 years old and was accused of kiIIing 2 white girls. He was sentenced and kiIIed in the electric chair. 70yrs later in 2014, he was proven innocent.

His last words were : “Johnny, I didn’t do it, i didn’t do it,Why would they kiII me for something I didn’t do”💔

This is what I want see more grandparents doing instead of running for presidency.

A bike path. A swimming pool. A park. A hiking trail.

Hey @Flock_Safety since you finally decided to crawl out of the shadows and reply, want to explain why your “public safety” cameras are nowhere near a road and instead pointed at people just trying to live their lives?

If U A Little League Coach & U Allow These Young Kidz (10,11,12,13 etc) To Cuss & Use Profanity On Your Team. U Not A Good Coach To Me!!!!

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

On this day in 1899, 19 year old Frank Embree was tortured, castrated, skinned and then lynched in front of a cheering crowd, for a crime he didn’t commit in 1899. Though published photographs clearly depicted the faces of his assailants, no one was ever arrested.

A THREAD!

J.R. Smith says he regrets wasting $60,000 in strip clubs when he could've helped his community

“I got Paul George sitting right here. I got DeMar DeRozan right here. I got Russell Westbrook sitting right here. I'm literally sitting next to all of these dudes who are LA guys”

“I'm like, ‘Bro, I'm not counting your chips, but everybody else is. You make $200 million, you make $200 million, you make $175 million, you make $150 million, you make $180 million. Why don't y'all have your own gym? Why we got to go to UCLA to work out in LA every time?”

“Y'all come from the exact same community. You want to inspire kids that look like you. All it takes is five of us. What bank gonna turn us down. We 'bout to build this whole thing out for our community. We're gonna build gyms, rec centers, start leagues and all that. Who's gonna stop us. We got the money. We don't have the mindset”

“Our mindset, we'd rather go throw $60,000 in the club, in the strip club, than go feed 2,500 people in the hood. Think about it. I've done it. I can't sit here and be like, ‘Oh man, I'm a hypocrite.’ I've done this myself. I've thrown money in the club, literally blindly, aimlessly, drunk. And now I sit back, ‘I'm a stupid ass.’ I could have fed my whole community 10 times over with the money I was just late on the bus”

“Because I'm so wrapped into me. I got that Eurocentric mindset. I need this designer jacket. I need these jeans. I need this book bag. I need to be looking like this because the vets got this thing, I'm pushing this car, I'm doing... Why? Who am I impressing. I'm not even fulfilled with me”

[BlackRedGuard ☭ 🇵🇸🔻⛓️‍💥 @OGBlackRedGuard]

It was made up after slavery to justify arresting Black people and putting them back on plantations. They’d stop you on the street and ask “who’s your white folks” and if you weren’t bound to a plantation owner’s land they’d arrest you and give you a fine. Since you couldn’t pay it, they’d make you and all the other poor fuckers they’d grabbed go back to work on a plantation.

Europeans used to recruit West African divers to salvage sunken treasure because West Africans were reputed to be the best swimmers in the world & could hold their breath underwater the longest.
I don’t know why this myth that Black people can’t swim persists

[Killa in Himes Hall @ReggieRich_22]

So I see these stats and ask how many rapists and pedophiles have been arrested since flock came out?

[Alex Immerman @aleximm]

More than 10,000 missing persons were located last year with Flock's help. In cities where Flock is used, ~20% of cleared cases are solved with Flock's help. Flock is regularly integral to arresting violent criminals. They protect the most vulnerable Americans from the worst offenders.

It's astonishing how much safer they make us, and it's terrifying to confront the scale of evil that would be inflicted against America's families, elderly, and children without them.

Also, they don't do speeding tickets. That's a total myth.

This Black woman is in a medical crisis, and still has to fight racism, mysogyny, malpractice, ableism to get treated.

[Cointel Bro 🇺🇸 @cointel__bro]

In college they lied to us.

Becuz the truth has always been there
