Former NBA player Eddy Curry says The Chicago Bulls offered him $400,000 a year for 50 years ($20 million total) to take a DNA test but he refused.
“The bulls were not letting me play and it came down to a situation where they were like we want you to take a DNA test because we don’t know if you have a heart disease or you’d eventually develop one”
“So my lawyer went to talk to some people and he came back and said ‘nah I don’t think you should do that because that could probably affect a lot of things for some African-Americans’”
“They were like ‘if you test positive we will give you like $400,000 yearly for the rest of your life’”
Whew!
Sis got some heat today 🔥
Apparently military culture was HEAVILY influenced by Black Americans.
Including “Sounding Off” as they march.
The brother who invented it made it so popular that it produced a hit record.
We ARE the culture! 💪🏿
“Talk about a rare pairing. Less than 1% of professional pilots in the U.S. are Black women, so anytime two of us end up on the same flight deck, it’s pretty special.
Last time we flew together was May 2025.”

Sixteen-year-old Corion Evans from Pascagoula, Mississippi, is being hailed as a hero after jumping into the Pascagoula River to save four lives in the early hours of the morning.
According to ABC News, Evans witnessed a car carrying three teenage girls plunge into the river around 2:30 a.m. after the driver mistakenly followed her GPS directions. As the vehicle began to sink, Evans immediately swam out and successfully rescued all three girls.
While helping the passengers to safety, a police officer who had entered the water to assist suddenly began struggling. Without hesitation, Evans swam back out and pulled the officer to safety as well.
