To answer that question all one has to do is review and assess Black American enclaves prior to mass Immigration and after mass Immigration, then review and access Continental Africans homelands during those same periods then ask - who was, and have always been the violent ones?

At some point, we have to talk about @CookPolitical and other “prognosticators” who had me and other southern candidates labeled as solid R for much of the campaign cycle. They made it much more difficult to fundraise and are part of the reason the South has been neglected for so long.
They’re only a reflection of the past and mysteriously avoid any accountability when they’re wrong. One of their “analysts” was extremely condescending to me (not Jessica) when I tried to make my pitch for why they were wrong about my rating like he knew something about MS politics when he’s never been to the Sip. This attitude hurt Jaime Davis & others so much.

LaMelo Ball’s ball instincts are absolutely phenomenal.
As he continues to find the happy medium with defensive aggression and fouling too much, he’s on track to become one of the better guards in the league at forcing turnovers.

The African connection to Hoodoo & Rootwork is manufactured
Hoodoo and Rootwork developed on American soil among American-origin communities long before modern Afrocentric interpretations. Puckett’s 1926 research and Hurston’s 1931 fieldwork documented American practices, while their explanations of cultural origins involved INTERPRETATIONS. We need to stop treating every PROPOSED African connection as established historical fact. Our traditions deserve to be studied through their own American history, practitioners, and cultural continuity.
Even back then the people told them research was incomplete.
Their African comparisons were inadequate.
"The author has confused folk beliefs of other people with folk beliefs of the Negro."

Harold Courlander published The African (1967) and A Treasury of Afro-American Folklore (1976). Alex Haley later settled a plagiarism lawsuit over Roots involving passages from Courlander’s fictional novel. So why was fiction incorporated into a work presented as family history? And how did African-origin interpretations gain authority in American folklore scholarship? At what point did fiction, fantasy, these interpretation, and established fact become blurred?

Tim Connelly has been trade mogging Bill Simmons since 2022
🎙️ @BillSimmons: "LaMelo has been pretty good the last couple of games without Ant, and Charlotte's in shambles. The Charlotte fans are going nuts about that trade now... because Naz Reid, whether you agree with the trade or not, doesn't seem like he wants to be in Charlotte." 😕

LaMelo Ball's defense last night. It wasn't always perfect, but the effort was there and worth pointing out. Particularly true in the last five minutes when the Jazz were trying to involve him in their screening actions.

@RWTWOLVESPC report on the truth behind Lamelo’s Magic Johnson-esque leadership style after 115-109 W vs @PelicansNBA
Shame, media like @ricbucher can utilize unsubstantiated bias to BLACKLIST players from All-Star Selections (despite fan/player vote), ALL-NBA & Millions💰(CBA)
Ric Bucher calls out LaMelo
“He’s a whole circus wrapped up in one heavily tatted body” 😳

Hilarious how these guys are backtracking now. Simmons said we won the offseason and he gave Minnesota a F grade for the LaMelo trade
