Social media has a fascinating influence on dating standards. Some people probably never cared about being sent a black truck for a date until they saw it online and began viewing it as something they should expect. That’s how online trends become real life expectations.

the black truck debate is hilarious cause black people really do make the most trivial shit a symbol of status & be elitist over the dumbest shit
you want to call people broke & all types of names cause they don’t feel the need to uber in a fucking denali😂you feel better than people cause you in a tahoe with 5% tint

I genuinely think Ish having a voice on a platform so widespread does a disservice to constructive conversations. Hes always speaking with MLH and feels like it’s legitimizes his opinion. Ish is an ill informed individual that should not be taken serious on a lot of topics.
The Trust Gap: Joe Budden and Co-Hosts Question the Legitimacy of Dr. Cheyenne Bryant’s New Wellness Center
Marc Lamont Hill: “There's no evidence of funding. These things are very expensive to build.”
Ish: “Would you question funding if it was a white person?”
Marc Lamont Hill: “A white person who lied about their credentials and still put their name Dr. on the building? Yes, absolutely.”
Ish: “You wouldn't question where the funding was coming from from a white person. You wouldn't ever. That shit is insulting.”
Marc Lamont Hill: “I question white people all the time. I questioned Trump University. I question every other venture when a white person does something that looks fraudulent.”
Marc Lamont Hill: “My concern is the hustle because she's proven to be untrustworthy.”
Ish: “What does that have to do with her hustling to gain funding? Has she come out and said, 'I want everybody to donate to my...'?”
Marc Lamont Hill: “If somebody has publicly lied and told an extravagant lie, and is now building something that requires money, even the name itself still reflects the lie, it's going to raise a flag for me.”

The guy who kept Shaq and Charles Barkley in line on TV for 37 years used to spend his mornings shaving and dressing his son, who could barely move and breathed through a ventilator. Then he'd go to work and laugh with those guys all night like nothing was going on.
Tonight Ernie Johnson said this season will be his last, and Barkley tried to thank him on air and couldn't get the words out.
I don't think most people watching that clip know what Ernie was carrying all those years.
He and his wife Cheryl adopted Michael from an orphanage outside Bucharest in 1991, when he was 3. He had Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and doctors didn't think he'd make it to his 20s. He lived to 33. When Ernie was home, getting Michael ready in the morning could take an hour and a half, and Ernie did the showering and shaving and dressing himself.
In 2006 he told viewers he had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and by the end of October he was back at the desk while he was still going through chemo.
When Michael died in 2021, Ernie wasn't on the show that week, and Shaq, Kenny and Chuck spent about six minutes trying to hold it together while they talked about a kid most of America never met.
Then last year he had heart bypass surgery, and this summer he turned 70.
Ernie's dad pitched in the big leagues and then called Braves games for decades, and he gave his son a rule Ernie's talked about forever: if somebody spikes you at second base, never rub.
If you've ever wondered why nobody's been able to copy Inside, that rule is a big part of it. Barkley could say the dumbest thing imaginable, Shaq could fall out of his chair, Kenny could go running to the big board, and Ernie would just pick it up and bring it back to basketball with that yellow legal pad. Those three got to be chaos because the guy in the middle never made his own stuff the show.
He still calls hosting a "get-to job," and he was calling it that the same year he buried his son.
So when Charles Barkley, who's roasted pretty much everybody alive on live TV, can't finish a sentence to the man, that's why.
Charles Barkley and the guys give Ernie Johnson his flowers. This is a must watch.

I’ve said it time and time again, we are in the era of some of the worst people analyzing basketball. Anybody with a brain could tell you he was gonna struggle a little bit due to the fact he’s not getting nowhere the amount of attention he should be getting. Him and Dybantsa went to some of the worst places they possibly could for development. Acuff gets to put 30 shots a game and learn through his mistakes while Darryn is being deferred to. Dybantsa will go through very similar things once he’s back.
