BillsFanForever19 Posted June 10, 2020 Posted June 10, 2020 Way to go Josh! Hope he resurrects his career here. 3
eball Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 Would love to see Buffalo be a leader in civil justice reform...time for folks to talk about something other than snow and Niagara Falls when discussing our hometown. 5
Cripple Creek Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 Good on Josh for being a vehicle for positive change.
machine gun kelly Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 I wasn’t going to comment anymore on these social issues other than be a good citizen, but Norman did it the right way. By these brief comments I just read, it sounds like he did it the right way. Peaceful, lawful demonstrations. Good job Josh. 3
HappyBillsFan Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 We must become one, so let’s drive a divide and make sure we don’t... sounds good

I would argue chicken wings are enough of a contribution to the world but being known for civil justice reform would be a nice runner up! 1 2

I just don't know where his love of rap fits into this particular context.

"let’s not get it twisted. The social upheaval we are witnessing is not about one horrific incident in Minneapolis. This has been building up for years, decades, generations. We can either confront it for what it is and make it an inflection point in the arc of our nation’s history, or we can become complicit in the perpetuation of our disease because we refuse to admit we are ill.

Look at the picture. If you really need it explained: he's saying he's a white guy who's not only spent his life with black teammates, he pursues an avocation of rap working closely with black performers and producers, yet he still "remained naive to the situation" many of his associates, teammates, and their families have as part of their daily experience 1

Assuming because the rap community is majority black, to the point of Beasley often being called not a “rapper” but a “white rapper” 1

If you are left and woke, this board is all for it. But if you have a counter argument, you will be suspended and banned... communism here we come, yikes 1

While Elvis invented rap as everybody knows, the black community really drove the direction and advancement of rap until Vanilla Ice entered the scene and made the genre completely uncool for a number of years. DMX and his provocative barking ultimately revived rap music as a legitimate art form in 1998 but it has been all down hill from there. Cole Beasley is also a rapper and confessed person who loves to rap. The more you know. 1 3 1

The Beasty Boys were key to getting Def Records off the ground, strictly because they were white... they need credit for the whole genre... without them, who knows what would have happened.

Beastie and def jam. Run DMC was also a huge reason why as well.
