"One of few African Americans in the sport of Professional Skateboarding" Every skater and their mom knows this isn't true. Antuan Dixon, Kevin Romar, Cyril Jackson, Ishod, Theotis, Robert Neal, Na-Kel Smith, Kevin Bradley... I barely touched the surface. And those are just current skaters. No doubt TJ is the man, but Skateboarding has never, and will never, be about skin color. And those in Skateboarding know this.
This is facts I think they just mean it’s very few black skaters that are famous even outside of the sport. They’re wrong but I get why outsiders always bring it up
fox news and mass media organizations like fox, nbc, cbs, etc. ALL have MOTIVES. This wasnt a story on Tyshawn, they used tyshawn to paint a racist remark on how “black people can do anything” belittling african americans and making it seem like tyshawn is one of the many that are oppressed and found their “big break”. The media loves to paint pictures, they love to see in COLOR. They cant see anyone just by their accomplishments, they must look at his/her skin color, background, their personality/rhetoric, etc.
Slavery happened everwhere, also here, not too mention WW2. We have are own problems here. But we would never put so much emphasis on color. Its segregates people for no reason and adds to racism.
reptidan Fam, slavery literally shaped most of the infrastructure in our country, followed by Jim Crowe which is unique to American history and years of systematic discrimination in the forms of mass incarceration, housing redlining, etc. Nothing is overstated
Emmanuel Irizarry "an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment." Aka a sport. Try again.
Sam Rashedi i forgot that you have the “Nike Street League” mentality, that is why you can’t and won’t understand something so simple. So, I don’t need to try.
Man as soon as I heard one of the only African Americans in skateboarding, i immediately rushed to the comments.... 1st comment corrected this nonesense hahah
Of course mainstream media has to make it about race. "One of the few African Americans in pro skating" is just saying "I don't know shit about skateboarding"
Maori Boy bruh if you don’t know any black professional skaters then you don’t skate because there are so many kader he just went pro a couple year ago for Baker
...I bet the vast majority of CNN reporters have the same perception though. Appealing to either media entity more then the other is just stupid/intellectually dishonest.
need more of it to these vibes too much bad coming from here to all over ppl need to not doing the extra shit and build each other up and they area's like this and things would be much better to the youngin's deff gotta have more role models to not rappers & actor's to more common game streamers and shit but a role model is one no matter who it is to not cause the $ and the material things but the positive they do
@@XFR18No..... primitive, elememt, vans, pros have money. .. compare that to someone who is riding for heroine skateboards, they ain't got much but love for skating
@@XFR18 um...no...most pros DO NOT make good money. at least not for the majority of skateboarding history. many of the pros are literally homeless. living in tents. or sheds. or squatting. or camping in forests. only the pros that sell product get paid good.
Love how the news always has to put a racial spin on every story now..tyshawn is killing it as a skater and human what does being black have to do with it
I don’t even know him personally but it’s awesome to see what he’s accomplished and how he remains humble. I’d love to visit NY just to eat at his family restaurant.
Why is almost every comment about how ignorant the news is? That's already expected. Let's not forget how rad this man is. He used his passion to gave back to his family and gave them theirs.
SOTY!? Dang man I've been out the game too long didn't even know about you. Respect though young fella. Boss up! Oh yeah and I'll definitely slide through next time I'm out there..
Damn what the fuck. I used to skate with people who were always skating with him, never met him myself. I knew from that video with him and Frankie Spears that he (they) were something special. Guy blew up. That's awesome. Makes me want to skate again.
NAAAAAAH what the actual hell! So basically I bought an i-D magazine and just about 10 mins ago just read about Tyshawn. Now this has just appeared in my recommendations for the first time :0 DAAAAAM RU-vid I'm shook... Big up though Tyshawn, but I'm hella shook right now
dont let this newsreporter distract from the fact that he not even 21 and he opened a restaurant run by his own mother real family business owner at this age this is just too cool to see!
Ok ok so the reporter is pretty ignorant by saying that but can we all just focus on what truly matters here? The man is WINNING, dont matter the race he's getting ahead. 1 of us making it feels like a triumph to me 💯
