You actually believe his niece's story?

How quaint.
So it's all made up to make money on a book?

Yes?

I'm sure her goal is altruistic.

None of the stuff written about Trump is ever true. All Fake News, All The Time

He went to Fordham first, not Penn. Colleges don’t put as much weight on SAT for transfer students.

Seeing numerous other black athletes endorse Jackson's virulently anti-Semitic post brings this to mind.

https://www.finalcall.com/artman/publis ... 4097.shtml

Anti-Semitism in the American black community is not limited to a fringe group of Black Liberation radicals as we are led to believe. It's pretty damn mainstream. And it's disturbing how all of these sht heels are not being called out more in the national media. The guy quoted Hitler FFS.

According to the poll, released March 19, while a majority of voters don’t like Min. Farrakhan, that does not include Black voters. The Rasmusssen report conducted a national telephone survey which said among other findings that 21 percent of likely U.S. voters had at least a “somewhat favorable” impression of the Minister, including eight percent that had a “very favorable” opinion of him. But among Black voters, half had a favorable opinion of the soon to be 85-year-old Muslim leader.

“Fifty percent (50%) of black voters have a favorable opinion of Farrakhan, while 42% view him unfavorably. Among white voters, 12% have a favorable impression of Farrakhan, while 57% have an unfavorable view of him. Thirty-one percent (31%) of white voters don’t know enough about him to offer an opinion,” Rasmussen noted.

The video of this is pretty terrifying. There's a...... casualness? on the part of the perpetrators that's unnerving.

There may be more to the story, but at first blush it's scary.

Her goal is revenge because the Trump siblings defrauded her out of millions of dollars in inheritance.

Based on what is known about DJT, do you have any reason to doubt the SAT claim out of hand? I have not read the book, and likely never will, so i have no idea how much back up (if any) there is to support the claim. But does it really sound out of character?

Idk why (maybe it's the shirtless rednecks) but it reminds me of the video from a while back where this guy and his son shoot and kill another guy over a meaningless argument over putting trash somewhere

The big guy in this video knows he's a big guy and obviously is a bullying racist. Thankfully they at least walked away because that **** could've gotten bad; I wouldn't be surprised if the rednecks were packing heat

Stephen Jackson has been one of the foremost faces of the BLM movement. He basically doubled down on his endorsement of DeSean yesterday. Not good man. Would love to see at least one or two prominent black NFLers actually say this stuff is wrong but I'm not holding my breath

Wasn’t there a big deal last week about about charging the “ring leader” and three others who attempted to take down an Andrew Jackson statue? Two others were charged in SC. A handful of other incidences are still being investigated. Trump promised jail time for statue vandals.

Both are crimes. Is one a hate crime? I don’t know. I’d be up for that debate. But to act like we’re turning a blind eye to statues and only focusing on this BLM vandalism is straight up incorrect.
The hate crime designation is the biggest issue with this, no doubt. When hate crime laws start being wielded as political weapons, it's time to shelve them.

The story and video is sick. What's even more sick is the authorities, even with video evidence and multiple witnesses didn't arrest the men who did this on the spot.

I hope this trash gets put away for a while.

This is the part that bothers me the most. Deshaun Jackson is a POS overall, but the man apologized. What irks me is the people that are the loudest when it fits their narrative (Jemmille Hall, Lebron James, Stephen Jackson, Alysa Milano) are silent when it's one of their own (buddies, race, sex, political affiliation) when they do something stupid or are accused of the very thing they are fighting against.

Very same thing happened with the MeToo movement when Biden was accused of sexual misconduct. All of a sudden the rules changed.

I think she is nuts, but at least Rose McGowen stuck to her guns regardless.

Primary response in the twitterverse seems to be “So what? Riley Cooper!” Personally I have no clue how that dude kept his job or avoided being beaten to within an inch of his life by several large black teammates but i do seem to remember his name being thoroughly dragged through the mud.

DJax may be too washed up to keep his roster Spot anyway.

I mean, even if it's an inflammatory thing to say, if i lost my legs for my country because of the Iraq war, I don't think I'd be thrilled.
