It seems the big problem is that African Americans feel the need to call other African Americans "Uncle Tom's"."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

i never realized hill was so eloquent. when was the last time you heard a basketball player (or from any other professional sport) use "Ad ingenium faciendum"?"Instead of all of this energy and effort directed at the war to end drugs, how about a little attention to drugs which will end war?"

Grant Hill's father, a 1,000-yard rusher for the Cowboys, went to Yale. His mother went to Wellesley. I rather doubt anyone was handing him a cheat sheet in class.
Jason Whitlock has been on a Twitter binge, expressing his frustration that it isn't just the Klan that's saying that having supportive fathers and backing education is "not black" - "it's us," as he put it.
That's really impressive writing by Hill. Calmly stake your case all the way through, come across as the reasonable one - then write a kicker that's more stiletto than sledgehammer but it gets the job DONE.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

I didn't see it, and am hearing conflicting things about all that. But yes, I have seen that point raised.
That's also a thing about impressive writing - as propaganda, it uses the same methodology, and it's also effective.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

I actually felt really bad for Chris Webber. That was one helluva team."When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all."

Originally posted by SenorSmoke View PostYes, but I watched the full documentary (it is great) and it doesn't change the fact the Rose made it very, very clear that he was talking about what he thought as an 18-year-old kid from inner city Detroit and that he doesn't feel that way today. I feel like Hill went out of his way not to acknowledge the fact that the comment was a historical look back at what Rose and the rest of the Fab Five felt at the time and in the context of where he comes from compared to the more privileged black athletes often recruited by Duke. Highly recommend the doc, god I loved watching that team.

I dont care how Rose phrased it. You just cant use that term no matter your intention. Just like white people cannot use the word 'nigger' no matter its use.
I havent seen it yet. I am looking forward to.After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”
