If he's performing for the Super Bowl he's not getting paid. The NFL doesn't pay performers. There lodging is taken care of and expenses but they don't get paid. He sold out to stay in a nice hotel?
dude took the gig for relevancy and probably hopes it’ll lead to other/future shit
Which is why the NFL doesn't pay people to perform. They figure this is live advertisement in front of 30 million people. We ain't paying you to promote yourself
Performing what exactly?!?!?
J.D. ain't had a hit since .... anyone, anyone .... Bueller.
Like for real though, what was his last hit and did it feature a still little kid Bow Wow?

The nfl is not the enemy. It is actually a very valuable asset. Sure there are problems and the players agreed to yet another fucked up collective bargaining agreement but that doesn't make them the enemy. Most of the shit that is fucked up is between them: the players and owners. This is supposed to be about police brutality and the killing of innocent black men and women, but the discussion is never about any of the real issues that got us here. First it gets switched to disrespect for the military somehow and then to players right to protest during the anthem. I think it is intentional. We have to stay focused. Black people seem to have forgotten about the fucked up situation we face because the nfl owners said stand for that stupid ass song. Both the players and teams do a lot of positive things for our communities. What have they done wrong to the black community? Not to the players, to the community?

No he didn’t. That’s just another Uncle Tom talking point that sellouts are fond of regurgitating. No other group that unilaterally seeks to protect itself from outside aggression is referred to as a monolith. Just us. Why do you suppose that is?

We're not a monolith no group is. We can't even decide what the black agenda is to further show how much of a non monolith we are. If we were a monolith many of our biggest issues would have been solved long ago.

???

Not sure what you’re talking about because I certainly never argued that we were a monolith but do we need to decide on a “black agenda” to collectively refrain from supporting anti-black institutions?

Can a company that hires and makes its money on a predominately black work force an anti-black institution?

jermaine fucked up when he said the boycott piece. i ain't mad at him for working with the NFL for the benefit of ATL (or himself) tho. he rep ATL. superbowl coming to Atlanta is good for ATL. i hated the way the nfl treated Kaep and the take-a-knee protest, but trump calling for protesting the nfl and then BLM camp also calling for the same thing left a bad taste in my mouth. why call for the same thing as your enemy? i went along with the protest last season, but now i'm like fuck that. i do like the celebrities turning down the nfl on the halftime entertainment, but that is not what Jermaine is doing.

how many of you kats actually followed nfl football before the protest. it is fraudulent to say you protesting something u never gave a fuck about. u ain't really hurting the nfl and you ain't doing shit about the issues of the take-a-knee protest.

Well Boycotts and marches dont work while he lives in a part of Atlanta that 50 years ago he would have been lynched in no matter how much money he had. The lack of historical context and even simple understanding that what you have now others had to fight for you to get it. Yes he would have been a rich entertainer back in the 40s and 50s but his black ass would have to walk in the back door, he would not be able to go to the best hotels and his living arrangements in the South (hell all over the country) would have been limited without marches and boycotts. Sad part I cant even say these "New Negroes" to his old ass, he should know better.

Just say I am a mercenary and call it day but don't say boycotts and marches don't work.


boycotts and marches don't work. They taught you that boolsheet. Riots and fighting is what matters. Learn that history plehboi

Did this ninja just call himself the unauthorized mayor of Atlanta? :clown
He pretty much is. It ain't just him saying it. If music is a mainstay of ATLs economy, he is a MAJOR part of that.

Sosodef, ushers biggest record, Mariah Carey, the list goes on.

And he's right. I been telling y'all that for the longest. These boycotts are stupid, ineffective, and counter productive. Shit, they're not even boycotts. NONE OF THEM. H&m is still doing well. NFL is doing well. Starbucks popping- even the location that the shit started from. .
All this shit is social media fronting.

And remember when it was announced last year when they said the Superbowl was gonna be in ATL? IMMEDIATELY, people started wanting Black Atlanta artists to be the halftime show. This was right after Jay Z got all them props for supposedly saying no. Then when they announced who it was gonna be, folks got MAD. THEN ya see Rihanna announce "they asked me I just said no"

Lol people are so gullible and have the shortest memory ever. Cuz it's all social media stunts.

Go to the games. Tons of Black folks. Look at the field. Tons of Black folks. Not kneeling. Go to any sports bar in any city when a game is on. We there. LOOK AT THIS BOARD WHEN GAMES ARE ON.


You ain't gonna fix police brutality kneeling at a fucking game. Cut it out.

You want the football players, the entertainers, to not take advantage of huge economic activity and opportunity when 5 of you are not watching but still keeping up with scores and your fantasy league. And still buying Kaeprnicks expensive ass "sacrifice" shirts. Get the fuck outta here. JD is supposed to front like these Instagram activists?

And I'm not even a football fan lol.

Certainly. Particularly when that company puts those employees at risk, refuses to guarantee contracts, suppresses the rights of that workforce and colludes to lock members of that workforce out when they protest police brutality. This is such an obvious point that it’s strange to me that it needs to be explained.

I'm pretty sure he weighed both sides before he came up with his decision and felt this was the best decision for him, let's see how it plays out. Or is this just more fake outrage? It will be interesting to see who he gets to actually perform at these concerts and what the backlash will be behind that.

I just noticed he said "use the platform to say what you wanna say"


I'm pretty sure those who hired him ain't like that lol. They're gonna have a talk about that.

They do need some key Black Entertainment to get some more money out of the Black audience that's GOING TO BE THERE. If they're gonna be there anyways why the fuck would he let all the Black folks have to endure artist from all the other genres from the city and all over get that money that comes with a mass crowd comingb to HIS city?

He'd be crazy to be just in Atlanta not making no money based on a fake boycott.

Fortunately he's never depended on YOU keeping up with him to make bread. I'm not even a huge fan of dude, but at this point anyone denying his work in bringing the Atlanta music scene where it is, and the influence he has from the streets to boardrooms, city and state government , is delusional. Dudes legend is set. That's just truth.

Peace,

I see all of the resident Sambos are in here tap dancing like usual.
You do know it's a NFL thread on this board that is many pages long and counting right? Black people on this board still follows the sport and watches it every sunday and whatever other days it comes on and still buy NFL merchandise.

Colin Kaepernick should have never kneeled for the flag during a football game. He could have made his stance away from the game. He was selfish for trying to put all the attention on himself while his brothers on the football field were focused on trying to win games. His focus was not on the football field so the owners decided that he didn't need to be on anyone's team.
