yall can just say you dont like black women being in control of anything instead of blaming Naomi Osaka for anything having to with the OBVIOUS systemic racism that exists in the tennis community.
the order vs justice crowd breaking their own rules to justify this nonsense.

if the penalty for breaking a rule is a fine, let her pay the fines. But oh, since she can pay it with ease, suddenly the rule is based on principle and she gotta go? Telling on themselves, big time.
god forbid we dont protect the “sanctity” of the postgame presser for the biggest tennis star on earth.

the powers that be cant handle not having control over a black woman. She not only deserves special treatment, she’s got the means to have earned it

but yall cant fade that

there are a couple wows in this story, beyond the initial concern about why Emily was fired in the first place. I’ll explain.
to start, this is extremely institutionally arrogant thing to include in an apology. Of course the ramifications weren’t considered. That’s the whole problem

the insinuation that it was reasonable to expect that no one would care based on their own concept of importance is wild Image
secondly, the HUGE wow in terms of just a basic misunderstanding of what the words “social” and “media” both mean, nvm together

and this is where journos who say things like “twitter isnt real” just out themselves as absurd. Like any community, it’s as real as you want it to be Image

bravo, Kojo. What a run. For those nationally who arent familiar with the legend, he is a broadcasting god in the D.C. area. I’ll explain
in D.C., the most unique part about the media market is that, obviously, there are local, national and international subsets that often flatly, do not overlap unless they have to in coverage. Kojo, naturally, blended all three. But for a reason.
Kojo was born in Guyana and went to McGill in Montreal before he arrived in D.C. So his natural existence brought at the very minimum, a level of global citizenry that for a black man on the radio in the 60s, is remarkable. From there he went on to be news director at WHUR

BELIEVE BLACK PEOPLE. IT WORKS.
sorry. It’s just been a really rough week. We been doing the same thing FOREVER. Minding our business and making the world better. Why on earth does anyone else think that the reason yall love us aint the same reason yall hate us? ITS A CHOICE.
Tired of crying myself to sleep every night. You are not the exception. WE are the prize. You know how we know? Because we were and in many ways literally still are bought and sold.

To quote a great movie: I believe in America.

I just wish it believed in us. Goodnight.

it’s not a boycott. It’s a strike. The difference is imperative to understanding what it means to take action as a black person in America.

Column tomorrow @TheUndefeated.

sooooo many dap details to break down here
for one, 44 going FULL clasp into embrace into straight up shake, not back to clasp, is flatly...a presidential dap.

Getting from embrace back to full shake is not easily executed unless the second person is following suit. Which with him, they all are, obvs. Hence the name
secondly, to the offhand on the embrace. Notice how with both players, 44 goes multi-pat.

saved the extended hand on pat for someone closer to his age, a sign of respect. You’ll notice that conversely, both players give 44 the extended one pat as well, even tho not reciprocated
