One of my favorite quotes of all-time is a joint by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. when he said, “Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” However, Fredrick Douglas said something as real as it gets when he shouted, “Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.” Then Confucius saw boyz gettin’ heated and decided to calm things down a bit when he spit, “Real knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance.”
Well playas…just because a boy was the best to EVER play his position doesn’t mean that he’s got any real knowledge beyond what he was paid to do. A couple of days ago ole dull Jerry Rice tried to put the toothpaste back in the tube or like we used to say in the hood, “he tried to put the bullets back into the gun.” This dun tweeted out this foolishness usin’ his OWN brain and fingers:
“When I said {All Lives Matter} I didn’t know about the movement going on between {Black Lives Matter}. I want to apologize for my mistake!”
Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! Jerry freakin’ Rice was tryin’ to go out of his way to appeal to some our Caucasian brothers and sisters. However, what he forgot in the process of the attempt to be popular in their eyes. He was dissin’ the very foundation of who he was and where he’s from.
Jerry Rice was born and raised in the rural south in Mississippi in the 60’s and 70’s bruh!! He played college ball at one of our Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), Mississippi Valley State, in the freakin’ Mississippi Delta!! And he’s BLACK!!!
So to say that ALL LIVES MATTER even if he’s never heard of a “movement” is asinine. If nothin’ else he’s gotta believe that his OWN life and those that look like him matters.
Let me put it where the goats can get it. It’s the ignorance of people that are bein’ dismissive of the facts that black lives seem NOT to matter to some law enforcement officers is the problem playboy. If you’re human and have any compassion in your heart you should understand that people that have been sworn in to protect and serve should not be gettin’ away with killin’ unarmed people regardless of race. But you should especially be alarmed when they continue to look like everybody related to you!!!
For a black man to dismiss himself in the process is ignorant. That’s like a person battlin’ breast cancer gettin’ upset with the organizers of a Breast Cancer aAwareness Event and tellin’ them that all cancers matter. Well we know that genius! We’re just bringin’ attention to your situation right now.
So I would assume the ole Jerry must have gotten a phone call from Big Momma or one of her friends and got cursed up one wall and down the other for sayin’ some foolery like “All Lives Matter” in response to “my life and those that look like mine matters in this country too.” Stop me when I start lyin’!
Playas Thesaurus:
1) Spit: verb – to say
2) Dun: noun – the person in question, dude, guy, etc. It’s whoever I’m talkin’ about and its non-gender specific.
3) Put it where the goats can get it: verb phrase – to make it as elementary as possible. To put it at ground level so everyone can understand it.
