The uproar over LeBron’s Memphis comments really comes from people confusing race with shared experience. Many assume a wealthy Black person naturally relates to average Black Americans because of race, but someone like LeBron became rich & famous at 17 and has spent over two decades living a completely different lifestyle. His world involves private travel, gated communities, security, and social circles filled with executives, celebrities and billionaires, experiences that shape perspective far more than race alone.
That doesn’t mean race disappears. It just means that at certain levels of wealth, class, lifestyle, age and stage of life begin to shape how someone sees the world more than any other factor. So when LeBron says he doesn’t want to spend time in Memphis, some people interpret it as cultural distancing, when in reality it’s more about lifestyle, class and environment.
The confusion comes from the assumption that same race equals shared experience. But at the highest levels of wealth, people often have more in common with others in their class, regardless of race, than with the average person who shares their background.
@longislandNYDJS@AyDawgBlitler@DJCLUE The first thing you said was “who are u to….”
I’m going to so taking to you. Because you’re just gaslighting.
You weren’t who I was looking for with my “lessons” anyway.
Goodbye forever.
@DiggsDuke@AyDawgBlitler@DJCLUE You’re giving us music history lessons by citing your sources? And not just rambling on troll? Lol ok #enjoy and what u say is not obvious. It is vague and misleading. I’m not arguing. i asked you to explain like I’m a student. & you began defending urself & taking offense LOL
@glockstallion@TMZ I don’t care who likes my tweets.
I deleted it because the comment will not serve my purpose, if it’s under a TMZ post....
I’ll only encounter people like you.
Not who I’m looking for….
@222step Hiphop is just people who like music, talking over the music they like..
Eventually, the public wants to hear the music they are talking over…
That time has come…
Hip hop is over…
It will stand for years like a dying tree, and then, it will fall and turn to dust..
hip hop is not dying, its just returned to the underground
rap has become regional again, every major city has its own sound & own icons.
unlike the 90s/00s, however, radio is not there to amplify standouts into global stardom & social media is too fractured and fleeting
Lebron proves that the biggest conflict in Black America is class. It is absolutely not immigration. Upper Class Black people dont want anything to do with Middle and Working class Black folks.
@DiggsDuke@AyDawgBlitler@DJCLUE Btw no one wants your lessons….if you weren’t a raging narcissist you’d probably be able to discern that. We asked you to explain why you came to such a universal
Conclusion about something complex so
You can pretend it’s obvious. All I asked you to do was properly graph….
@DiggsDuke@Aku_700 The ONLY reason why you don’t see it is because people cover it up. Woman rape men all the time but it gets covered up and pushed to the side just like black woman raping men.
DISGUSTING PREDATOR TEACHER RAPED AN 11-YEAR-OLD BOY FOR YEARS — THEN GOT PREGNANT BY HIM AT 13!
Now the brainwashed teen begs to drop all charges, claiming "he started it" and "loves" his abuser. A trusted 5th-grade teacher turned this child into a father while his family handed him over. No consent. No excuses. Lock her up for life — this is pure evil grooming that destroyed a boy's childhood.
Islam is against the moral values of modern civilization.
There are bad Christians and there are bad Muslims.
But when we look at the data, the bad Christian does not live by the dictates of the Lord Jesus,
whereas the bad Muslim in most cases practices orthodox Islam.
@XXL Hip Hop stoped evolving. Degeneracy has been pushed to a maximum , quality dropped, gang culture, TikTokification , lazy artists , drugs and labels signing gang members , etc all have contributed to the decline in Hip Hop dominance.
@DiggsDuke@Aku_700 I love how everyone on twitter has to bring race into everything, people like you are the reason racism exists to this day and you are also the same people who say “skin color doesn’t matter we are all the same”
