Stills does do shit in the community down here. That’s for sure. He actually does talk to the police about things as well. I don’t think Jay meant to say we’re done kneeling as in no more kneeling period. He probably means that we’re done kneeling without a solution. There’s no reason to kneel unless you’re actually doing something significant with the kneeling

Good.

Hov does the same things but gets hate from getting a check from the league to increase his efforts but players like Stills and Redi that’s doing the exact same thing gets props.

It’s just weird to me

I think as Black people and POC we should be focusing and investing our energy, time and resources into our creativity. We shouldn't be trying to "take over" anything. A takeover is putting yourself in someone else's position instead of creating an alternative or creating a position for yourself. That's not a righteous nature to want to 'take over". It's a form of jealously and envy That's the nature of a virus, disease, parasite, etc.

Historically our strengths have been in our ability to create and in this case we could create an alternative.

We're a creative people. Let's create something new.

It not about creation. We need to protect our investments and creations. Monetize it like everyone seems to do.
But I guess we too moral to take money from what I gather.

We come up with excuses because we don't know business and how things work.

Ppl look at a human's arm and see the arm and how it functions, but what goes into making the arm function, the muscle, the nerves, the shoulder blade, and etc. Those don't work, then the arm is dead.

Black ppl look at things and don't even focus on the important simple things.

We don't know business so we make up 2,000 excuses on how such and such don't work. I can tell folks never put up their own money to invest into themselves or something, by the many excuses they make. Never understand how and what makes something go.

Having gas in a car doesn't make it run, there are other simple things that make a car go

So what you saying?
Black people make excuses?

Davis and Watson is who I'm talking about you giving too much credit. They helped but they didn't really do the work. The ball was already rolling those people were already working on that and they joined on the back end. That is why I said they helped but they shouldn't get all that credit you giving them.

For thanksgiving if your wife goes to the to store buys, cleans, seasons the turkey and puts it in the oven and tells you what time to take the turkey out the oven and that is all you did. At dinner you going to tell everybody you made the turkey?
