It absolutely is frowned upon, which is why he got skewered by the media. Don't get me wrong, I thought it was awesome.

Unapologetically black is a frequently used phrase that I don't think is seen in the least as offensive.
The power in being “unapologetically Black”
By S.A. Miller, Special to the AFRO The term ”unapologetically Black” has been used by a lot of people for a lot of years. The meaning is often based on the context in which it is being used. For some, it connotes boldness and a “take no prisoners” attitude. For others, the term suggests...

I'm sure your not a racist, but the principle I'm trying convey still stands.
You should sit this one out. “Unapologetically black” is not even remotely racist. It’s a stronger version of “black and proud”.

Sorry, I believe that anytime you assign a supposed "characteristic" of a race to an individual, you are doing a disservice to both the race and the individual.You should sit this one out. “Unapologetically black” is not even remotely racist. It’s a stronger version of “black and proud”.

Can you get me one of those hats?I am proudly, unapologetically black.
What's a Nubian?I am proudly, unapologetically black.
EDIT: I think I may have confused a line from Mallrats with CB4. I suck.
It was Chasing Amy.
I keep all Joey Lauren Adams scenes in one special place in my mind, and don't really impose artificial classifications like "movie titles" in that special place.
Not gonna lie, Apollo Creed is probably the worst overall example you could have used.
As for our “missions” - when I was public-facing, I don’t see it as any different: motivate my team, gain support from external sources and stakeholders.
Why?
Do you have a video of both of their very first encounters with their teams? Was it as demeaning as CU’s*? Was it immediately made public?
*You and I both know none of those players deserved to be on Prime’s team. But we can both agree that initial contact was absolutely mean-spirited. And don’t try to tell me that that was just “Black Culture”.

Have you seen Rocky IV?
Yes. Your point is that he died or something else?
This board is losing its ****ing mind. The bold describes Trump, MTG, Gym Jordan, etc. None of us like that ****. Don’t tell me I have to like it when a black person does or else I’m a racist.
And don’t “yeah but”. It’s Brash, Cocky, and Loud.

This is probably the absolute best description I’ve heard.
Not this stupid **** again. There was nothing wrong with his first meeting with the team, and everybody in that room that was butt hurt over being told to shape up or ship out was a weak little baby who needed to pay for the embarrassment they brought on my alma mater.
Good podcast with Brian Howell and Mat Smith about how the players are actually not getting enough local media attention because they appear to not be allowed to, or are afraid to talk to the media or something. Prime may be inadvertently keeping the players from more good pub by controlling the narrative and access too much. Love everything he is doing, but they need to help the players get interviewed far more than they are.

clearly buffs players arent allowed to talk to local media and hate doing it, because no one has talked to jake and rk. /S
Prime himself has described himself as unapologetically Black.
Let's be honest here. Both these guys suck and I wouldn't talk to them either.
Really
Both are 90% supportive of Prime and want to do their jobs to elevate the players and program
The players made comments about not having interviews and being excited about it. We could learn way more about them if more interviews could happen.
My thought is that if only Well Off, Thee Pregame, and Reach the People, plus Amazon documentary can keep all info proprietary it drives up their views. But, if many players are not breaking through, then that sucks.
I do believe a player should be paid for interviews.
I would LMAO if someone on CU side posted something to the effect "if the players don't want to talk to you, we're not going to make them do it."
Wow! You sound unapologetically, uhh, mixed!!You should sit this one out. “Unapologetically black” is not even remotely racist. It’s a stronger version of “black and proud”.

Deion can do what he wants. I love listening to him talk, though. And that is why, as a local fan, I would like to hear him do interviews in the local media. A lot of us older fans aren’t really into the social media thing. But whatever. It’s not something I lose sleep over.
