@AdamSchefter DeJean filling in for Adoree' Jackson against Dallas disproves the hell out of this. He’s not an outside CB - like the rest…

[jimmi balls @jimmiballs]

@Doyle_Beneby @uscfan981 @VinnysCorner1 Heck of a list.

[jimmi balls @jimmiballs]

@uscfan981 Billy Sims, Marcus Dupree & Adrian Peterson need to be here.

@BookerRebirth Given all that’s been said about Karl & range of folks that have some type of animus for him… at best , he’s owed nothing but due process…

Hell, he probably didn’t read the book…He just liked the title & cover.

@AfroAmericanJay @tariqnasheed That’s not a “gotcha” moment. Yet, it’s worthy of examination... Context matters. In certain contexts how is any citizen born in America NOT from America?

In other contexts, being of people not indigenous to a land means your origin is not FROM there (ie settlers)…

[jimmi balls @jimmiballs]

@Queenofla2 @tariqnasheed As for your last statement… well, I guess some folks relinquish who & what they are… & say “Toby” much easier than others.

I bet you wouldn’t have been so quick to cede if the example had Africans taking you somewhere, forming a nation & years later giving you citizenship.

[jimmi balls @jimmiballs]

@Queenofla2 @tariqnasheed The appellation for the continent of Africa is in no way parallel to formation of a particular nation. Hence, the indigenous people of Africa are FROM Africa, in ways that indigenous people from Africa taken to the western hemisphere are not FROM the Americas.

[jimmi balls @jimmiballs]

@Queenofla2 @tariqnasheed And what is the corollary of your statement… where would black people here before the founding of the USA be FROM 🤷🏽‍♂️

If someone enslaved your ass, took you to the moon, founded a country & years later made you a citizen… would you be FROM there?

[jimmi balls @jimmiballs]

@tariqnasheed Lol 😂… you’re lame as hell.
You had no reasonable response… so, you ran to an ad hominem attack & lie.

[jimmi balls @jimmiballs]

@tariqnasheed Yeah, “us”… my ancestors & yours. What the hell else could it possibly mean…

@Omowale99949437 @NobleQAli The nigga making the claim & the dick rider posting it should be shot into outer space…
