I'm not done with this




I'm still mad about this whole ordeal. I have had damn near a bottle of vino and had to get back to this. I watched the press conference with Gibbs and Snyder. I was glad to hear that Joe said that he wanted everyone to know first and foremost that Sean spent a lot of time with the team chaplain the last two years as well as had attended every chapel session. He said Sean had relationship with the Lord and has gone home. I find peace in that. He went to better place. I'm really glad the white people spoke so highly of him. Once one says something positive about a brotha it becomes magically easier for others to recognize. The one who first speaks out usually someone more special than not. You actually play that role for me(which I appreciate by the way), kinda like my white talisman taking me accross the lake.


Clinton Portis said this in this article. He will probably get about 46 carries this week by the way just for yo ass Fat Polz.

"You think back to how much heat he took for everything," running back Clinton Portis said. "For missing camp, for not being around for this or that, for missing the rookie symposium. You come to the realization that all of that means nothing."

Listen to what Tomlin said.

It's neat to see that once Joe Gibbs said that, the black boilerplate started disappearing. He started to receive Jared Allen level treatment instead(Sorry, I had to mention that!) You would hope that America took this opportunity to look into the black on black crime issue. The sad part is that Washington DC is the death capital(highest murder rate) as well as America's epicenter.

Here's another point for you to think about. How many white individuals have been snatched away at their prime besides Elvis and James Dean? Ooh yeah, and dude from the Doors and that broad with the eating disorder. How many bruhs have had a career ended, a threatening court case, or murdered around their prime. It really bothers me that black people don't reach their potential as often. Actually, black people rarely get to reach their potential besides pro athletes and Denzel. Black people don't get put in positions in corporate America beyond our skill set ever. White people do, but black people have to be extra qualified. I don't know if I would have gotten a job in engineering if I didn't play football. Do you know how hard it was to get through that stuff. Now I may have made it seem not that difficult, but in reality that ish(Non curse-word version of sh^t for future reference) damn near defeated me. I had to do more to be average. That is where Donovan's comments came from bye the way. All of our parents taught us that. So it really hurts me personally when I see one that can reach maximum efficiency in their craft get defeated because I guarantee I'll never reach mine. The reason why I don't give up on some so called bad people is because I believe in growth and learning. A leopard can't change it stripes, but it can grow older and wiser and hunt more effectively. People don't change, but they can grow and learn under the right circumstances. Trotter is a family of teachers and educators. I believe in growth, learning and the generation of opportunity. If those don't exist then neither does the camp. This is why I am pissed off because death was required for this to become known. Think of all of the other aspects that can be learned but won't be until someone else dies.
