		<description>you are a bitter ni****.  Keep whining and see where it gets you.  You couldn&#039;t hold Matt Jones&#039; jock, and the amount of drugs he&#039;s done compared to what you&#039;ve done is like a grain of sand on a beach.  You are the typical ni****, whining about being kept down by the &quot;man&quot; while you break the law and claim it&#039;s because your great great great great great great great &quot;Ahhntie&quot; was a cook on a plantation.</description>

		<description>what do you think about the north carolina vs Utah game, where the UNC player accused the Utah player of calling him the n word, the accusation was televised on sports center for a week, he then recanted his statement saying he was mad he lost, sports center ran that story once</description>

		<description>Matthew, Jordan did it by his actions and today&#039;s Black althlete and entertainers with few expection should not speak for African- Americans because they are apatheic and could not form a constructive viewpoint if you asked them about politcal, social, and international issues unless it about how big Brazilian Girls booties are to Native -Born Black American women or the the new Jay- Z -Coldplay collabroations.

Americans since Reagan has deluded the citizenery into an apathy, disillusionment and cyncism.</description>

		<description>Eric,

&quot;They called people like Jim Brown , Bill Russell Frank Robinson and others who spoke up “malcontents’ but 40 years later kids and adults many who never these men play live or on t.v. are wearing their Jersey numbers because they demanded to be treated like human beings.&quot;

One thing I can appreciate about the 60&#039;s:  as screwed up as our country was, people spoke up.  We asked questions.  We made our leaders accountable.  We didn&#039;t let people spit on us and call it rain.  There&#039;s too much apathy in this country period, never mind black athletes (who I don&#039;t think should be spokesmen for black people unless you include black actors and singers in the mix).  Too much money to lose and too many headaches.  I really believe Michael Jordan wanted to take the Charles Barkley route and said he wasn&#039;t a role model, but he wouldn&#039;t have been &quot;politically correct&quot; (God, I hate that term).</description>
