In the wake of the moral carnage of white supremacy, and the vicious assault and resurgence of bigotry, go see BlackkKlansman — a brilliant, timely examination of the forces of hate that seek to lay claim to American identity and democracy. Thank you Spike for such a timely and searing work of art!

Aye, I'm sure your Chicago friends haven't told you this yet, but we don't promote this bu****it here, AND you not from here. Also, if you plan to come to our city and make money off of glorifying violence, I hope you down to do some work in these communities and give back. I'm so damn tired of out of town folks coming in and profiting off of us. It's real out here and this what yall wanna promote! Miss me with that bu****it.

Happy belated 94th birthday of & thanks for reminding us of Baldwin's life and legacy in your upcoming film "If Beale Street Could Talk" this man was unsung hero during era ✊🏾In the video, a voiceover of Baldwin is heard saying, “there are days when you wonder what your role is in this country. And what your future is in it. This is one of them,” and “the things that tormented me the most were the very things that connected me with all the people who are alive… I’ll tell you a story, if I may.”

Madden is the NFL’s b@@&ch😂😂😂 read theroot.com article and the post.

with
・・・
👀👀👀 Via theroot.com: In order to understand why EA Sports would delete Colin Kaepernick’s name from one of its most successful games, Madden NFL 19, you have to understand a fundamental truth:

EA Sports is the NFL’s b**ch.

It started in 2004 when EA Sports was heavily challenged by the new kid on the block: ESPN 2K5. Not only did ESPN 2k5 have better gameplay than its Madden counterpart, but in an attempt to sway loyal Madden players over to their side, ESPN only charged $19.95 for their game. EA Sports freaked and immediately dropped the price of its game from $49.95 to $29.95 in an attempt to compete.

Then EA did something that would’ve made Stringer Bell proud. Instead of trying to compete with ESPN for gaming superiority, it went directly to the NFL and signed an exclusive licensing agreement that gave EA Sports the rights to use official NFL teams, players and stadiums. In doing so, it sacked any chances for other video games to compete (a video game based on the NFL has no chance if it can’t use the names of actual NFL players). This also gave the NFL a lot of power over EA Sports. The NFL could officially look over EA Sports like a body at a slave auction (or the NFL combine) and tell them when to jump; the only thing EA Sports could ask is, “How high”? In 2014, Sports Illustrated noted all of the changes that the NFL made to the Madden franchise, including the elimination of all things concussion-related as well as the removal of the popular “hit stick” function, which allowed users to punish opponents. None of this was accidental. At that time, the NFL’s reputation was suffering from investigative reports and even a movie starring Will Smith that connected the longterm effects of playing football with cognitive damage, including Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), which has been found in several former football players.

Remember the golden days of Madden when the ambulance used to drive onto the field? Yeah, the NFL stopped that too. Imagine trying to fend off scientists arguing that repeated hits to the heads can cause CTE
