Y’all still talking about Richard Sherman?!!! Really?!

I had to laugh. Really.

Well, let me say in regarding the NFC Championship game between the 49ers and Seahawks. Yeah, let also say that 49ers had it coming! Yeah, and all you Colin Kaepernick Worshipers: no matter if you are in Wisconsin, or anywhere else: HA!!!!!! Oh, where was these same fans that was talking smack about my 13 time NFL Champion Green Bay Packers? Huh?!!!!  Where was Ric Flair?! Uh-huh!  No Where! Yep, the Seahawks showed the 49ers who they really are! Yeah I said it! #teamlambeau suckas!!! Oh, the #questfor14 should be instilled in #packernation.

Now I got that off my chest, let me go in on this Richard Sherman commentary. By now, we’ve all seen it, right? If not, let’s view this again shall we:

Really sensitive Americans?!!! This is what you’re mad about? Really?!!!

Get the “blank” out of here! Really. GET OUT!

This talk thing is nothing new. But what is new you got all these folks who went Twitter Postal on Richard Sherman on his commentary. Popping off and junk. WHAT really lead to this: is all Michael Crabtree’s fault. Yes, 49ers fans. Your boy Crabtree started this whole thing on Twitter back in the previous off-season, calling Richard Sherman fake and etc. Go back and read his Twitter timeline, or if he has a Facebook page, go in his timeline. That’s who you should be mad at. Not Richard Sherman. Many of us who have jumped on this was like “oh he should be shot, or that n*gga is dumb as hell. And he’s a member of Phi Beta Sigma?” Yes, for those who don’t know, this Compton, California Born Defensive Back, with 4.0 GPA out of Stanford is a member of the NPHC, Divine 9 Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Incorporated. Sigmas: I’ll leave that up to you. But he seems to be a smart guy of not going on twitter and using the old school mentality and telling it like it was. And those on Twitter (probably those who were non black and need to back on the learning tree)  had the nerve to call him that “n*gger.” We’ve heard Muhammad Ali talk smack about Joe Fraizer and Howard Cossell. But he was a fighter. Now there are those who might say, Don’t put Muhammad Ali and Richard Sherman in the same category. I’m not. I’m putting the mentality in this. Even when Warren Sapp and Brett Favre were jaw jacking at each other alot, but they both won their SuperBowl rings.

Oh, since I’m talking Packers again: guess what this reminds of. And you Bears fans should know. In a Chicago Bears media footage, Brandon Marshall had to talk smack  about the then-Packers Defense for over 20 Minutes. Talking about Tramon Williams, Charles Woodson, Clay Matthews, A.J. Hawk, and many others. Oh he went in for about 20 minutes talking smack about the Packers D. But the Packers got the W. And the next day, Brandon Marshall was crying like a humbled coward as he was. Losing!  Dude was crying after that game. But unlike Richard Sherman, the Packers D didn’t outburst.

However, like Richard Sherman they made a statement. Period. They won. 49ers lost.  Oh, that commentary was like a scene out of the 80’s wrestling promos. Richard was going in like Bad News Brown, Harlem Heat, Booker T, and any old school African-American Wrestler that was not afraid of going to the mic. Most of us that grew up in the 80’s: we know that mentality life. Others who came late, you better learn today! Back then, they didn’t talk smack they backed it up and settled it like men. Not whiny babies that ran home that most see today. OH NO! And they didn’t hide behind the keyboards like moronic cowards waiting for a pointer rating like today. Oh hell no! There was no need to go get your guns and express your 2nd Amendment Rights the wrong way.

Want to resolve an issue? Do it man to man. Woman to Woman. Man to Woman. Woman to Man. Employee to Boss (yes I said it! Too many, but not all bosses do get away with murder the workplace) Company to Company. And many others. DO IT IN PERSON! Prove a point. I’m not advocating violence or any other physicality. Just simply step up and get your point across!

My Take: Who is Sasheer Zamata?

Congrats, SNL. You have responded.

Since the tail end of 2013, the show was facing scrutiny about not having a black female cast-mate in the last 6 or 7 years. We know Maya Rudolph. But that not all we know. I remember Ellen Cleghorne from the 90’s. But by the time this week comes to an end there will be two words of taking down the notes: Sasheer Zamata.

Oh, and for you notebook writers, as usual write this name down:

Sasheer Zamata.

Got it?

I’ll say it again – SASHEER ZAMATA.

That her name, and comedic stuff is the game.

Now for those who are well think that this is just a easy thing, it’s not. Like I said earlier, SNL has been a void in the last 7 years or so without a black female castmate. And yes, we all heard what Kenan Thompson about SNL not looking hard enough for searching for a black female to do sketch comedy every week on a Saturday Night. But I think that skit that Kerry Washington did really let a fire lit under neath the cushion of the SNL Board of Directors per say and to get with the program. Granted that yes, SNL in it’s 38 years on the air has to maintain a fresh perspective of the change in time and eras. Just to think, that this weekend of that happened on a MLK Holiday Weekend.

So many might say, oh I’m using Martin Luther King Jr in this? Really? In a word, yes. It’s all about equality. It’s about fairness. I mean is this an opportunity country? I’m just saying. And on the flip side, there were some bold radical like and revolutionary moves that got this started up for Sasheer to get this spot on a longest running comedy series since 1975. Plus also, there were 3 writers that were hired and they were all African-American. Oh, I know that In Living Color has not approached that mark. Matter of fact it didn’t. Don’t get me wrong, ILC was a cool show. Men on Films in all!

Getting to the meat of all of this, I looked at the show and even though she was in a few skits, but to me she did pretty well. Even though, and black folks we know how we are when someone of our culture gets that one debut we tend to have this notion of like “Oh she should have more skits.” in a critical type fashion. And on that, I was reading some tweets on Twitter about that. Really?!!! One thing to remember that we can be our own worst enemy when things like this comes up! Remember Don’t Sleep on BET? Just a warning, African-Americans! Also remember, this is her first break.

So African-Americans: BE PATIENT! Sasheer’s time is here and let her new career grow not only with talent. But with a grace and gift that the Almighty has blessed her with. Not only that, give her a chance! If those feel she’s been “token”, really you don’t know what you’re talking about. And to the SNL, the cameras are on point!
