“We had a couple of brawls against Pittsburgh. The bad blood went back to when one of the Pitt guys used an Ace bandage clip like a razor blade to cut one of my players. The fights were not instigated by us, but we didn’t back down.” —John Thompson in I CAME AS A SHADOW https://t.co/ZXbowfqTne

not only did ⁦@KUHoops⁩ coaches know about the payments, they made them happen. then KU calls *itself* the victim, while this kid’s career was ruined. it would be comical if it wasn’t so shameful. read Merl Code’s book “Black Market” for the real. https://t.co/3d1dB7qlMN

re-reading Octavia Butler’s KINDRED ahead of the TV version. early on, the protagonist says, “Facts.” one word, one sentence. no big deal, right? everybody says “Facts.” the book was published in 1979. Octavia Butler saw the future, for real 😁 #Kindred drops Dec 13 on Hulu https://t.co/5qG6gk7uVJ

The total package is a riveting account of how rap carried hip-hop culture from obscurity to ubiquity, from disrespected to winning the Pulitzer Prize – and how it should have been getting that respect all along.
