Segawa & Ortiz are giving us a nice, fast paced scrappy fight. These punches had very little power behind them the first two rounds, but now they are really knocking each other around. #tysonvsjones
Segawa tapped into his inner Lil Kim...can't say I've seen that move before lol #tysonvsjones 😂😂
Sulaiman Segawa was eating up these punches from Jamaine Ortiz but you can't beat that liver shot. What an incredible effort by both fighters! #tysonvsjones
Swae Lee just go on ahead and lip sync sweetie. #tysonvsjones
Badou Jack was all over Jack Mckernan with the power punches like ⚪ on rice 👊🏾👊🏾 #tysonvsjones
It ain't over until the lady sings but Jack Mckernan is getting his whole ass beat. I would be surprised if this went the distance. Badou Jack is just a superior fighter. #tysonvsjones
Blake Mckernan is a beast and fought with heart but damn Badou Jack punished him for 8 straight rounds and never let up. Entertaining and scrappy but not even close. #tysonvsjones
This Jake Paul (never heard of him) and Nate Robinson fight is finna be comedy #tysonvsjones
Instead of Reyes Boxing Nate shoulda went with Ray Ray Boxing cuz this is embarrassing. Entertaining as fcuk but embarrassing. #tysonvsjones
Damn Nate Robinson just retire homie. Can't believe he got knocked the fcuk out. #tysonvsjones
They saved the worst performer for last...who TF is this? They shoulda had Chloe x Halle sing the Black national anthem instead. #tysonvsjones
Ok Uncle Snoop!!!! Now this is what I'm talmbout. #tysonvsjones

I resisted replying to the cesspool ignorance in Charlamagne's IG comments, but let me say: swatting down irrefutable/ quantifiable Black progress with "yeah but what did you do specifically for Black folx" is ridiculous & shows a lack of understanding of SCOTUS rulings/civics.
There are ways to tackle systemic racism & inequities...but when I hear the question "what have you done/will you do SPECIFICALLY for Black people" it is almost never in reference to tackling the Black maternal or infant mortality rate (not in the CWBA)...it's about quotas.
To believe not implementing racial quotas is a betrayal of Black people is to completely ignore decades of court rulings (incl SCOTUS) that have outlawed "inflexible quotas". Summary ⬇️. The key is evaluating the legally allowed targets/goals for efficacy. web.uri.edu/affirmativeact…
Thread: I really need y'all political Johnny Come Lately Black saviors to understand: a lack of good ideas & will power are NOT why we haven't made more advancements in the Black community. Even ideas that once implemented are incredibly popular often took DECADES of advocacy.
Let's talk institutional power. Cube & others have taken to saying we have over 7,000 Black people elected and gotten nothing 🤔(false). Context matters there are 500000 elected officials in the US with Black electeds accounting for ~9K/2%. That power is not evenly distributed.
Let's look at the US Congress. Out of 12,526 individuals elected, only 162/1.3% are Black. The current session of Congress has the highest number of Black electeds with 57 out of 541. While Black officials make up 11.7% of VOTING members in the House they are 3% in the Senate.
Thread: Today I'll be debunking the Trump's Platinum Plan SCAM with receipts. It's asinine to believe a 2 pg PDF when Trump's 4 yr ⚪ Nationalist record proves hostility towards the Black community. Black unemployment has skyrocketed & 41% of small businesses have closed.
Trump's DOJ has been hostile towards the Black community and rolled back Obama/Biden Criminal Justice Reforms. Trump restarted the war on drugs, restored & increased federal private prisons, encouraged police brutality and more. Trump will not make us safer. #PlatinumPlan
Trump has not been a champion for HBCUs. In fact he has a fraught relationship with HBCUs including hostile statements questioning the constitutionality of their funding. The increased funding Trump touts was actually championed by VP nominee Sen. Kamala Harris. #PlatinumPlan
