Jalen Rose is a former NBA player and current NBA analyst. He is probably best known for being a part of the Michigan Fab 5 back in the early 90′s. Now Rose has an understanding of how real-time Twitter is when you are in the middle of something controversial.
ESPN just ran a documentary on the Fab 5 of which Rose is an executive producer. In the documentary Rose calls African American players that play basketball at Duke “Uncle Toms” which is very strong slang for “selling out.” Rose goes on to mention famous Duke player Grant Hill. Grant Hill responded via a long New York Times article.
The interesting thing is that Rose doesn’t seem to be backing off his comments as a 17-year-old in the documentary. One such post on Twitter is:
For those MOANING about how something or someone was portrayed in the doc note that it was FRAMED from 1991-1993 not 2011 #quit crying
It will be interesting if this thing dies down or heats up. If it heats up and Rose can keep his job it will work out in his favor as more people will probably watch the Fab 5 documentary.
Hey there this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
