12968853, Cam Newton neo-black revolutionary?
Posted by Deacon Blues, Fri Feb-05-16 11:43 AM

Coincidence or not

Hated for his defiant blackness
Leads Carolina Panthers
Born the year Huey Newton died
Playing in the 50th Super Bowl
Happens to also be the 50th anniversary year of the Black Panthers


Fom a Facebook post "through black proletarian cultural expression Cam Newton is single handedly dabbing the disaffected masses into revolutionary consciousness"

Still think it's just a game

Admittedly, not the most "credit worthy" source, but the proof is more in the pudding. I.e., them dudes favor each other QUITE a bit.

12969725, yes. he really is the Beyonce of sports.
Posted by SoWhat, Mon Feb-08-16 08:17 AM
Beyonce is also being celebrated as a revolutionary b/c she sang a song about hot sauce while fronting a dance troupe who wore black leather outfits and afros.

that's all it takes to be a revolutionary in the 21st century - wearing the right outfit.
12969767, way to wrap all this shit up in a berry gordian knot.

Posted by Musa, Mon Feb-08-16 10:02 AM
the popular establishment the wrong way there is something there that is not compromised unlike a lot of niggas. That should be amplified and celebrated.

Posted by Musa, Mon Feb-08-16 10:25 AM
tho Kanye actually has a platform to speak and early on chose to say something now he has compromised.
