Dat Bull was on that bull...
For some reason there has been a resurgence of a news story from last year where a highly sought after high school senior football player turned down a full ride to a major university. That's not too unusual though, these things happen. Sometimes a student is holding out for a better university. Sometimes a student athlete wants to attend their local or favorite university. Some athletes might even want to wait for a school who can offer them the most playing time. But this nigga (I'm sorry, but that's the word that best suits him and his state of mind at the time) Jay Harris (no relation) turned down a full scholarship to Michigan State University, simply because he wanted to pursue a rap career. Citing that he can always go to college later. Apparently that rap career didn't take off and my mans got his head straight. He has enrolled at Western Michigan University, and the coach has said that Jay is working his "tail end off". Two thunder claps for this near tragic story turned around!

Elvis was a racist! And so is the media!
I'm not sure if fictional television programming can be considered the media, but for this moment it is! After my man's Kam came through and dropped science on The Walking Dead and it's lack solid Black men, I have begun seeking a strong Black figure in any show. I haven't found one. Granted I don't watch nearly as much television as I used to but it shouldn't be that hard to find one. The last show I can think of that fit the mold was Martin. There was a recent episode of The Walking Dead where Tyrese was seen holding a baby (a WHITE baby at that), peering through a KITCHEN window, while Carol is in the backyard handling MAN business. *Spoiler Alert* Carol was out back shooting a young kid in the back of the head because she had lost her mind! That's something that Tyrese should've been doing. But no, his ol b**ch ass was in the kitchen fixin grits for massah while tendin to his other massahs youngin. Then you got Bob! Naturally he has a vice, can't keep his lips out of some cough syrup. He's running around with two broads and still ain't the man of the house!
Next up is Scandal. Not one single real N word on there either. I know what you Gladiators are gonna say. "What about Harrison, Keef?" That dude has had a total face time of 7 minutes over this entire season. The Scandal staff still hasn't even taken the time to explain his story. We know everyone else's business but we don't know what went down with him. Then that cum bucket Olivia had herself a solid good Black man in her life in the senator but what did she do? The exact thing 97% of all black women are trained to do from birth! Degrade him because he doesn't have something the next man got. Here we have the Senator who doesn't have a wife, nor does he kill people for fun or for work. Yet she throws him out with the garbage! Why? Because his presence would've been something for young black men to aspire to. Then there is my main man Rowan Pope! I have always liked Rowan, I can tell when someone is the truth. Everything he did was right in my eyes. However the writers were able to write him off as a bad man, when real N words world wide knew otherwise from the very beginning.
Another show I watch Vehemently is a Netflix original, House of Cards. That show only has one black man and that's Remy. He's well polished but plays a villain role. A vigilante if you will. But to be honest, there aren't any positive role models on that show.
Breaking Bad had one black guy. Well he wasn't really black but America will classify him as such so i will too. He, too was a villain.
If you have a show that actually has a black man playing the lead role who is to be respected let me know. Until then, I will continue to believe that Elvis and the media are one in the same.
