Earn Your Liberation (EYL 77) 

Bomani is correct in calling out those justifying this and calling for "more Black nepotism". This is a case of marketability over merit, doing what makes cents over what's right, which is what capitalism has always been grounded on. Base & Superstructure: the way in which our economy is organized (capitalism) dictates what its institutions (Superstructure) are going to teach and model for us culturally and ideologically. Capitalism is based on the accumulation of profit at all cost. Therefore, the art, education, sports, entertainment we consume will reinforce that logic in our minds. "Black nepotism" is not a vehicle to overcome white economic and political power and domination, it's a manifestation of what we've been taught is necessary to succeed in this system. That it's not about merit, but about power. Who has it, and who can wield it to their own advantage at the expense of the others with less or no power. TV analysts pushing capitalist and ruling class values is an inherent function of capitalist media. They are legitimizing one of the practices that is exploiting all of us, and is consolidating economic and political power in the hands of a small class of people. Evoking very real issues like racism and anti-Blackness to teach us that these practices are a necessary part of life and therefore ok if we do it, is a part of the development of ideas for the purpose of social control. When we understand this notion of Base & Superstructure, we can see things for what they really are and chose to engage or not, from a more critical place.

FREE LEONARD FREE MUMIA FREE EM ALL!! great interview with ahmed. f**K nepotism 🙌🏽❤

"Nepotism cannot be fought with black Nepotism "

"...you have to realize that some of our most conscious and revolutionary Brothers & Sisters out there find Injustice more palatable when it's coated in chocolate." Chocolate BARS! 🍫 Diallo TY. Good show today all.

One thing I would point out is that what is being pushed to balck people is not "entrepreneurship" but get rich quick based on investment schemes and other things. America itself was created as a "get rich scheme" based on taking land, resources and labor from other people as the basis of neo-feudal "entrepreneurship. And all levels of businesses big and small in this country are modeled on that initial endeavor, which has never been opened to the former free labor class. Also, on that note, keep in mind that the capitalist interests and money managers who are behind these schemes are also the ones behind this process of "agency capture" from balck people. This started in academia in the 90s when universities with funding and support started promoting social justice degrees and certificates, which then became consultancy bureaucracies that then evolved into DEI, all of which is about taking away the agency of the grassroots in defining their own agendas and talking points. So when you hear them talking about misinformation, they are talking about any kind of online attempts to reassert grassroots agency over and above these controlled voices and paradigms promoted by the status quo.

That ComradeTrav intro is 🔥

Let's keep it real. What's the chances of the NBA or NFL being real. These people have to much to lose for things to be left to chance. This LeBron n Bronny thing is just a marketing ploy

1:37:48 I like this brother and Africa stream

Exactly. The nba is a corporation. And the nba cherry picks who they want to play, who the want to admonish, who they want to be mvp, who they want to be the face of their league. None of it is merit based.

33:37 im wit Ball, maybe cuz of ignorance, but shouldn't we give that man some grace? He did 30 years for us

yall getting geechee mad is so fucking funny to me idk why lmao

Has MSNBC ever come out n corrected their russia gate story?

⚽⚽Keep talking about ball kicking Dr Ball. The show with Gorgeous Mutanda, Daniel and Robert is incredible. I'm looking forward to your analysis of this weekend's matches.

18:50 glad JAB pointed out the 🤡 sht so well

If LeBron's kid was even a quasi-star @ USC (he avg'd 4 pts/game) and was rated somewhere at least in the top 25, there would be no issue. The Lakers themselves have stated that this will be 'historic' with dad & son. So, the air will clear and life will go on. I hope the young James isn't damaged by this move in the future.

New intro is🔥, appreciate the reading of the on-screen chat comments, and Ahmed was a wonderful guest. I like the banter as well lol 👏🏼👍🏼

51:29 thats how John Henrik Clark says it lol

32:09 whats a good comprehensive critque on nelson mandela?

1:18:43 😂😂😂😂

Mandela not even getting a C? I'm dying...lol

Injustice being more palpable when it's coated in chocolate. 29:15 "Nelly"(Nelson) Mandela. 31:50 - 37:05

Who deserves a second round draft pick? No conscious person sees this as a collective victory bc who deserves a second round draft pick?

Orchestrate ? That’s a strong word. The organization makes the final decision

20:34 this is a very poor argument by geechie. The lebron thing is def nepotism

3rd on Nepotism. It’s obvious that black nepotism is only an issue, when it comes to Lebron James. Nepotism is not called out when the “Greek freak, has 2 brothers playing on his team taking up “roster space”. Nepotism isn’t brought when Rob Pelinka the current GM of the Lakers got his job bc of his friendship with Kobe Bryant.

My EYL litany of incomplete thoughts: Black people should not collectively leverage their economic purchasing power, as it does not work to increase our collective economic power. Additionally, we should neither harm nor attack those who actively work against our interests or advocate for such actions publicly, nor should we support or help our children in their work or their life dreams, as this would be unfair to others. Black people also cannot ask for compensation from a country that enslaved their ancestors for hundreds of years, as that would offend others Especially those in the Black diaspora. What the hell happened to this show? Diallo, what happened to 'right-wing ideology will never lead to your freedom'?

Stick to black politics. Lol.

So what ? Nepotism is not the problem.

And we all know this is just King James Hate. Bc it’s another accomplishment that The fake goat Jordan couldn’t obtain. Plain and simple.
