You cannot understand Africana philosophy or Black Studies if you do not have a profound understanding of the meaning the Haytien Revolution had on 19th-century Black thinkers.

🔴 New Investigation: The son of an Israeli secret agent, Lyor Cohen is the most important man in hip hop having owned Def Jam music & Roc-A-Fella managing some of the most famous rappers & singers. With inordinate influence over the genre, he has made his views on Israel/Palestine clear, and has used his influence to stamp out what he sees as anti-semitism in the industry.
He is now head of YouTube Music, and is working with the U.S. State Department on a new program directly modeled on the CIA’s successful Cold War-era attempts to use American artists to help force through color revolutions in targeted countries.

ok…
Noah Wyle says he was 9 years old when Eddie Murphy told him to "f*ck off," so now he always signs autographs for kids.
“I met Eddie once when I was a kid. I asked him for his autograph, and I said, ‘I really like you on ‘SNL.’ And he goes, ‘What are you doing up that late?’ And I said, ‘Can I have your autograph?’ He goes, ‘F*ck off, man.' I always sign an autograph. Whenever a 9-year-old needs an autograph from me, I sign that so fast... last year for my birthday, my daughter didn’t know what to get me. My 10-year-old daughter printed up a picture of Eddie Murphy and then wrote on it, ‘Dear Noah, you’re a great kid, Eddie Murphy.’" (via Good Hang)

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Noah Wyle didn't actually say he was 9 years old at his interaction with Eddie Murphy during his chat on "A Good Hang".
Only mentions the age as an example of how he signs autographs quickly for young kids who ask him for one.

I’m still amazed at the number of folks who don’t understand what quotation marks mean. In this case, that I’m quoting an article from TheCut .com.
Also I’ve shared pictures of my parents on this app, so why lie?
Because all they have is lies. And y’all wonder why I can’t work with these people? They’re illiterate and immoral. A dreadful waste.

Fox: Why are you here this morning?
Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.

People don't understand how much VH1 contributed to cultural literacy. Yeah you were high on the couch watching hours of Pop Up video & I Love The (pick a decade) but you were also getting an education in cultural history. We could use more of that, now, & less tik tok slop.

People will honestly work to destroy your reputation just so they can steal your work, because destroying Black celebrity worship is what Antonio & I have been doing for a decade.
FD Signifier explains that the point of his video is to cut down on celebrity worship, especially among Black people.
He points to Black celebrities people love without paying attention to their politics.
According to him , It hurts to see where Jasmine Crockett is right now. It hurts to see Jay-Z's views on capitalism. And it hurts to see what Kanye West has become.
His argument is that you can criticize them and still love their art.
Killer Mike, who dissed him in a freestyle, is his example.
He said , people are shocked to learn Mike is still one of his favorite rappers, and part of why he made the video was to reconnect with the music he loved so much.
He even admits he almost feels bad. In the last few months Mike has been doing interviews with prominent Democrats, which FD jokes is his "my bad" moment for Stacey Abrams.
He does credits that shift to people kicking Mike's back, and he gives Mike props for being willing to change.
According to him , Mike putting himself in a position to be criticized shows he isn't too far gone. Many of the Black leaders in that "misleadership" role refuse to be held accountable at all.
He respects Mike for that, and hopes the guy who once said "I'm going to burn this motherf***er down" is still in there.

There's too many motherfuckers on this app claiming to be defenders of Afro-American culture who don't care enough about it to actually study it. They seem to think belonging to a culture means you know everything there is to know about it. That's not the case.

A man bet $110 on an NFL game and thought he had turned it into $82,610. FanDuel refused to pay, blamed a technical glitch, and offered him $500 and tickets to three New York Giants games instead.
– Anthony Prince from Newark, New Jersey, was watching the Denver Broncos play the Oakland Raiders in September 2018.
– With just over a minute left, the Broncos were trailing 19-17 but had moved into range of a potential game-winning field goal.
– FanDuel was updating its live betting odds as the game unfolded.
– But something went wrong.
– For approximately 18 seconds, FanDuel’s system displayed the Broncos at 750-to-1 odds to win the game.
– Prince spotted the odds and placed a $110 bet on Denver.
– At those odds, his betting ticket showed a potential payout of $82,610.
– Other bettors reportedly managed to place similar bets during the same brief window.
– Then the Broncos kicked a field goal with six seconds remaining and won the game 20-19.
– Prince had picked the winning team. He went to collect his money.
– But FanDuel refused to honor the $82,610 payout, saying a technical error had generated incorrect odds.
– According to FanDuel, the Broncos should have been heavy favorites at that point, not 750-to-1 underdogs.
– Instead of paying the amount printed on his ticket, the company offered Prince around $500 and tickets to three Giants games.
– Prince rejected the offer and said he planned to get a lawyer involved.
– New Jersey gambling regulators began examining the incident, raising questions about how the sportsbook’s system had produced such wildly incorrect odds.
– With prediction markets, payouts are governed by the contracts traders agree to and the rules for resolving them.
– FanDuel initially stood by its decision, arguing that its rules allowed it to correct obvious pricing errors.
– But the story attracted widespread media attention, and the company consulted with state gambling regulators.
– On September 20, FanDuel reversed its decision and announced it would pay Prince the full amount, along with other customers affected by the same glitch.
– The company acknowledged that the error had spoiled the experience for its customers and said it would honor the erroneous tickets.
He risked $110 and appeared to win $82,610 in the final seconds of an NFL game. FanDuel blamed a glitch and offered him $500 and football tickets instead. But after regulators got involved and the story made headlines, the company changed its mind and agreed to pay him the full amount.
