@espn y'all laid of @Realrclark25 of all people?? I think y'all believe the ESPN brand is stronger than the people who work for ESPN. I hope this comes back to bite y'all.
Sending prayers and love to all those laid off today by ESPN. So many of you have poured your life into that company, & I know how you’re feeling right now.
My hope is as this door closes another opens for you all. God bless!
Why would @YouTube take away access for family members who don't live in your household even when you're playing for the family plan. This makes no sense.
So if you as a black man have anything to say about the artificial divisions impose on black people, you’re a nigga who’s angry at your mother or behind on child support?
Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think people would assume that about me if I was an openly queer / black female public intellectual….
@ScamNetwon Great demonstration of the anti-black misandry prominent in these leftist spaces though. Everything is identity politics. If you critique an idea espoused by a black woman, you must hate all black women. Very anti-intellectual.
When someone is grieving the worse thing you can do is say the wrong thing or say the right thing at the wrong time. Learn how to STFU...
Sit Thoughtfully For Understanding
As a black man, it makes people insecure. You’re supposed to just be a body and physical. The society fosters the maturation of the average citizen’s psyche around being intelligent while you as a black man do the physical labor to keep the world moving. When you show you’re a deep thinker, you upset this dynamic.
One day America is going to have to pay for all of its sins, and atrocities they've committed against the world and the oppressed in this country will be collateral damage for something they've never endorsed.
These "sources" are just saying anything these days. Black intellect has been stereotyped for centuries from “Sambo” caricatures to biased IQ tests just to deny our brilliance. Jaylen’s intelligence doesn’t need anyone’s permission @FCHWPO
An anonymous NBA executive and scout believe Jaylen Brown has a "disease" where he thinks he’s the smartest person in the room, per @colincowherd
“I had two NBA sources … two people in the league, one an executive, one a scout, say that Jaylen Brown has — it’s a disease. He suddenly thinks he’s the smartest guy in every room he’s in ... You make a lot of money, suddenly you’re absolutely sure, you don’t wanna listen to your bosses, you don’t wanna listen to consultants, you don’t wanna listen to teammates.”

Here's the paradox I've been wrestling with:
The thorn keeps the crown from becoming pride.
The pain keeps the platform humble.
The wound keeps the leader dependent on God.
One of the greatest paradoxes of the Gospel:
The very thing meant to discredit Jesus became the evidence of who He truly was.
Sometimes the wound you've been trying to hide is the place where God reveals His greatest work.
The crown of thorns doesn't romanticize suffering.
It reveals that God entered suffering.
He didn't save humanity from a distance.
He wore our pain on His own head.
