Sean Taylor RIP

[General_Failure]

BTW, I just did a search for an "RIP Darrent Williams" thread on ES. No luck. Shocker of the week, that one.

Ain't it though? I went looking and couldn't find shtein yesterday either. Bunch of farging hypocrites over there.

I don't think we have one either.

Interesting take from Samari Rolle on Taylor's death.

He added he did not believe the killing was part of a burglary gone sour, and that Taylor had many enemies on the streets of Miami.

"This was not the first incident," Rolle said. "They've been targeting him for three years now."

This guy was a farging moron.  Multi-millionaire, being hunted for 3 years and the stupid farg doesn't have the sense to move away?  He's lucky he didn't get his wife and kid killed while he was at it.

Clearly this is from Antrel Rolle, not Samari.

Clearly.  Samari is too busy convulsing to string together that many words.

Here's an interesting tidbit: Taylor's g/f Jackie Garcia is actor Andy Garcia's niece

Another ridiculous sigpic:

but that isnt even sean taylor. or am i missing the point?

[SD_Eagle5]

ha, you're right. I missed that detail. I was referring more to the angelic aspect.

[Feva]

That's him.  The pic is from his 1st year in the league where he wore #36.  He switched to #21 after that.

This:

According to reports, Sean Taylor had difficulty breaking free from the unsavory characters he associated with during his youth.

The "keepin' it real" mantra of hip hop is in direct defiance to evolution. There's always someone ready to tell you you're selling out if you move away from the immature and dangerous activities you used to do, you're selling out if you speak proper English, embrace education, dress like a grown man, do anything mainstream.

The Black KKK is enforcing the same crippling standards as its parent organization. It wants to keep black men in their place — uneducated, outside the mainstream and six feet deep.

I'm sure VIGY will be along to call this guy an Uncle Tom, and the irony will make my brain hurt badly.

The one's that say they are selling out are the one's that will be in jail or dead at 30--or in Taylors case 24. This paragraph is farging sad

he makes a lot of good points...however the main focus should be on instutional racism that keeps young black people poor uneducated and trapped in the inner cities of america with little means of escape "you either slingin crack rock or you got a wicked jump shot"...so while i agree with much of what he says calling them the black kkk is stupidity...as is completely overlooking the real problem

[Cerevant]

Is it instutional racism, or the effect of people who refuse to "speak proper English, embrace education, dress like a grown man"?

[reese125]

Cerevant, your going to cause a hail storm in about 5 seconds

[SD_Eagle5]

Its a mix of both

We had this debate last semester in my Juvenile Justice class. One of the black guys in my class mentored teens in Camden and agreed

That's exactly right. It's a combination of both. But don't expect bleeding hearts or right-ists to see it that way. It's always extremes...
