Lord Jamar and DJ Vlad recently chopped it up for a live VladTV event, and the Brand Nubian rapper shared his thoughts on Bomani Jones' remake of the Cleveland Indians shirt, which read "Caucasians." The ESPN host wore the shirt to draw attention to the racism in sports logos, and Lord Jamar backed up Jones by saying the logos promote the systemic racism in our country.

After revealing that he identified with the Indian logos as a kid because of their darker skin, Lord Jamar went on to speak about looking up to athletes like O.J. Simpson, which led to a conversation about the hit mini series "The People Vs. O.J. Simpson." Lord Jamar admitted that he was happy about O.J. being found not guilty for murdering Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, even though he believed O.J. murdered his ex-wife. He explained that it was one of the first times he saw a Black man get off on a case where many believed he was guilty.

    Its pretty amazing how obvious and straight forward Jamar's opinions, and the topics they talk about, are

    This society and pop culture is so far removed from wisdom and things that mean ? . So its weird to me when people like Jamar get on Vlad or Breakfast Ckub and just speak common sense peopmle be like 'yo he ws dropping jewels'. Man that should be common sense lls

    im curious why you say this.

    is wisdom something that is promoted...

    especially on this site.

    more people gravitate towards exposures, negative sometimes untrue detail about someone, or want to stay in a certain realm of thinking without expanding there thought process on other topics.

    do you not engage in this behavior, yourself?

    someone can post 30 thread about random articles yet 2 threads can define someone. why is that?

    is it because we want to see someone fall even tho it goes against conventional wisdom and intelligence?

    cant be for entertainment because we have alot of other ? to entertain us.

    even someone wanting to exercise his mind by taking a stand against something he believes for a simple debate , can make someone say...your option doesnt hold weight because you just want to debate.

    so who is to blame for this type of mindframe

    I always find it funny when people make long winded "rebuttal" posts to something that basically says the same thing the guy they quoted just said

    It's the super ? theory. Same reason why Mike Brown "charged" at a cop while getting showered with bullets. We negros are super powered/sarcasm.
