What’s more saddening is that he’s another black man who never got to see his 25th brithday. I can’t wait to see them blame that shit on hip hop.
————————————————————
They will eventually. They are gonna go through his cd collection and find his NWA, Wu Tang, Pac and Biggie Cds, and sure enough they are going to say that hip hop was the reason for his death. They are gonna say that even though he was rich he was living a “hip hop lifestyle”. The media HAS to find away to undermine the man character, other wise they would have to foucs on what’s really going on in the community. The lack of jobs and resources which in effect the reason for these young man to go out a rob people. (I’m not saying that’s an excuse, but I’m saying)

Good Morning!

The media is in the business to make money. Especially in this day with the internet etc…
So of course they are gonna make a spin on any case to make it more attracting to the viewer. Its sad but thats the industry. The biggest media companies are usually the ones that do most of the irresponsible journalism because of their wide “fan base”. Fox is bases its reports more on opinion rather than facts because its HICK base share the same opinions on what they deem is important. That why missing blacks aren’t on their radar as much as the dumb shit that they rail against. I pay close attention to current events and I didn’t hear a peep about this missing black girl…

And I still haven’t heard a viable excuse or reason for shutting down BET NEWS. We can’t get upset at mainstream media when our own stations don’t even have outlets to get information to us.
But I’m supposed to march ???

Within the last few generations, there has been this kind of open “adoration” and worship of paper. People are considered to be expendable, money is not. So while his comments are maddening, they are hardly uncommon or even unacceptable in our present culture.

I think what’s more a crime is the fact that writer eluded to when a black man is a victim of a murder, it seems like it’s his own doing.

So if Brett Farve was killed by someone after a week earlier a kitchen knife was left on his pillow, the alphabet boys wouldn’t be combing Mississippi right now?

We have yet to crack the Biggie or Pac cases but we can keep persistent on the missing white girl in Aruba. I’m never the one to throw race into the mix, but that shit’s foul.

And everytime we see something on him we talk about all the fucked up shit he did in the League and mention how he’s a leading Pro Bowl vote-getter as an afterthought.

What’s more saddening is that he’s another black man who never got to see his 25th brithday. I can’t wait to see them blame that shit on hip hop.

You know, if Barry Bonds dies tomorrow, we’ll forget how great a ballplayer he was, but remember he “might have” taken some drugs…fuckin media, yo.

Damn…that JR Smith shit bugs me, I was already irritated at the Sean Taylor situation…but this is why the media treats tragedy w/ our black men because of the way so many of them act when money’s involved….

Its fucked up and all whenever somebody loses their life but niggas getting killed everyday. I don’t believe it was a random act because NOBODY IS MENTIONING THAT THEY TOOK ANYTHING. From what I hear, He was trying to change his life around since the birth of his daughter and some people prolly felt left out of the equation and decided to give him justice for it…..
But somehow some way, if it does turn out this way, we will find a way to blame whitey. But check this quote from this dumbass J.R. Smith….

—–Money man

Nuggets guard J.R. Smith is nicknamed “Youngrich.” It’s even written on his shoes.

So why the nickname?

“Because I’m young and I’m rich,” the New Jersey native said. “My homeboys gave it to me.”

Actually, Smith, 22, is not rich by NBA standards. He makes $2.13 million, less than half the league’s average salary. But he is trying to cash after the season as a restricted free agent. He turned down a Nuggets contract offer last month because it wasn’t lucrative enough.

But Smith can continue to think about money. On a segment called “This or That,” recently shown on the video board at a Nuggets home game, he was asked if he preferred “love” or “money.”

Smith’s answer was “money.”

“Because love can hurt you,” he said. “Money never hurts you ————-

This is the same dude that just got one of his homeboys killed in a car accident this past summer due to his reckless driving… then 2 months later, he is arrested for slapping some chick up in a club . Now when he decides to “turn his life around” like Taylor, is one of his “homeboys” gonna come back and hit him up for leaving him out of the will ?
Shit is pathetic.. niggas just have no regard for life just because theirs is so fucked up.
