If Rhyne woulda hit that lay off the AR no-look, Game 4 would be at Mercedes-Benz because the fans woulda tore the roof off of State Farm.

“When the opportunity has been present, the black bourgeoisie has exploited the Negro masses as ruthlessly as have whites. …They have never dared think beyond a narrow, opportunistic philosophy that provided a rationalization for their own advantages.” — E. Franklin Frazier

Why hasn’t the Black elite class advocated to form a Black political party?

Today is Monday & my frustration w/folks that do panels, festivals, award shows, & interviews about inner city issues yet only show up to TALK about the work needed to be done. Especially during voting cycles.

[Cupi’Don☔️🇭🇹 @le_donz]

Black men have the worst response rate from elected officials, I wonder why they might be disengaged from voting…

I don’t want to understate Angel Reese’s skill set but her force of will has defined this game. It’s been amazing to watch.

(She just grabbed a FOH rebound as I typed this.)

I don’t really care for all the people wishing Americans protested like the French because when there was a nation-wide protest that started from Black people challenging police brutality, a lot of people were cheering on the police and state kidnapping and running people over

Now that’s how you end the quarter Jordin Canada!

[Ken J. Makin @differencemakin]

Angel Reese is must see TV. On the game’s highest stage.

Given everything that's happened with Jalen Hurts, I thought it was best to speak with a physician—a Black woman physician. Like many other Eagles fans, she doesn't play about QB1 either. 👩🏾‍⚕️🩺 https://t.co/lW4n5d6N3W

Truth is, Jalen Hurts deserves quality and humane healthcare whether he’s a Super Bowl champ or not.

Good healthcare shouldn’t need a qualifier — and that includes employment. Hope this helps.

@CharlesFromWork That’s why it’s je ne sais quois

I am quite enjoying this SEC Survivor Series.

[Ken J. Makin @differencemakin]

Golden opportunity missed for the Dream. Those last few possessions were a tough watch.

[Ken J. Makin @differencemakin]

Dream players gotta be more deliberate on screen & roll. Offense looks great when everyone is moving, but when players are picking up their dribble near the key? It’s a mess.

[Ken J. Makin @differencemakin]

@ChristanWNBA Willful sabotage.

[Ken J. Makin @differencemakin]

@ChristanWNBA She hoopin hoopin.
