Jason Whitlock dismisses the significance of Black quarterbacks winning Super Bowls, claiming the struggle is over because they align with the Black population percentage. This ignores decades of exclusion, position-switching, and denied opportunities. Warren Moon had to prove himself in Canada before the NFL gave him a chance. Doug Williams broke barriers by winning a Super Bowl. Eldridge Dickey, the first Black quarterback drafted in the first round, was never allowed to play his natural position. History matters until Black quarterbacks are no longer asked to change positions or have their intelligence questioned differently. The league must acknowledge the past rather than erase it. Jaylen Hurts winning a Super Bowl is progress. If celebrating Black excellence makes Whitlock uncomfortable, that is his burden to bear.

A.G. Gaston: The Power of Black Wealth and the Divide in Black Liberation
A.G. Gaston believed that Black economic power was the path to true liberation. He saw wealth as the key to breaking the cycle of oppression. He built institutions that served Black people in an era where few others did. His success proved that Black communities could create their own wealth, their own businesses, and their own economies. His life laid out a blueprint for financial independence, proving that ownership was not just about money but about power, survival, and dignity.
Cultivating Excellence: Rethinking Culture and Opportunity in Black America
Black American culture, forged in the fires of resilience, has given the world immeasurable gifts: jazz, hip-hop, the civil rights movement, and countless innovations in art, literature, and science. Yet within this brilliance lies a dichotomy. The glorification of success often becomes tied to entertainment and athletics, eclipsing the quieter triumphs of engineers, scientists, and mathematicians.
It’s Corny to Clown Dame Dash: Respect the Hustle and the Legacy
True power comes from what you own, not what you manage for someone else. Dame Dash didn’t just work for a paycheck, he built something that many are still profiting from today. He is a legend, and it’s time we start treating him like one. I know we joke about stuff, and I get that sometimes we make light of serious issues. But I’m talking about the people who genuinely enjoy seeing these guys fall, who take joy in it for all the wrong reasons. There’s a difference between cracking a joke and reveling in someone’s downfall. It’s corny to take pleasure in the struggles of a man who has done so much, especially when those struggles stem from the very system he fought to rise above.
