Marshawn Lynch Sits During National Anthem at Raiders Preseason Game
Marshawn Lynch has always been a man who marched to his own drum. Frankly, I think he’s a genius who’s laughing at all of us; for me, that was confirmed when he was one of very few high-profile NFL players who came out in support of Colin Kaepernick’s principled stand for black lives last year.…

#MaskOff: Social Media Exposes Racists From Charlottesville, Va., White Supremacist Rally
I love when a hot-ass song by sexy-voiced Future is also a cry to rip the sheets off racists.
