http://www.thedailybeast.com/articl...s-troubling-violent-and-racist-rap-sheet.html Attempted murder (gotdamn he left a dude partially blind) downplayed into assault, with a sentence given for two years but only serving a month and a half Sounds appropriate for this thread Kudos to all of the humanitarian/charity work he's done but shit...I didn't know his past was this awful
Yup, read on it too. Throwing rocks at kids, blinding a man. Don't effing pardon the MAN:smt018 All the charity work in the world won't bring that man's vision back. People sat there and called Mike Brown a thug. Mike would have turned his life around. If this scumbag can do it, then I had no doubt that mike would have.
Ok so he falls into the R.Kelly demo, never consuming his work ever again. What a grade A piece of shit.
Let's not play around...we already know mike brown would be labeled a thug by a good chunk of society, even if his day didn't go down that way Yeah I'm definitely like what the fuck now.... If this gets more traction, he may lose some of his fan base due to his own ambition
Yeah, that shit is old news. I want to dislike him for that 'ish but, my faith and own experience (I've done my share of effin' up and would never do it again) command that I take him at his word and give him the benefit of the doubt. If he says he's a changed man, and all actions I've seen point to it, then so be it. He gets a pass from me. To do any less makes me just as bad as those who want to condemn the Mike Browns of the world to death for simple youthful indiscretions. And I cannot abide being like them.
Same thing. Whether it's Bill, Marky Mark, whomever. But, I have to be honest. I'm not buying everything they're saying about Bill. Now, if they fuck up again? I'm done.
Black men have literally branded themselves thugs happily for 25 years, being a thug is a badge of honor, now that Fox News and racist whites are running with it let the butthurt whining begin This right here is why nobody takes black people and concerns seriously
I'm sure more people who become hip to wahlbergs past will draw parallels like this too Marky mark is getting a free pass like a mothafucka
My son and I were having a conversation about the state of things in this country and he said something very similar to this. That the thug/gangsta image is almost glorified within certain segments of the black community, so why are they surprised when many white folks believe that is the norm or something to be proud of?
