vinny shoulda got a job with the whiskey company after spendin’ dat kinda doughski.
Vin Baker was exploited?! Really?! Hell, I'd like to get exploited and make a hundred million bucks and I won't blow it on stupid shit!!!
Some people, particularly Eric Holder's people, will never have "wealth" no matter how much of other people's money you steal and give to them.
It's not a tragedy. It's an entirely predictable outcome. Take an illiterate car wash monkey, give him millions of dollars for doing something stupid, wear him out, discard him, and watch him return to the car wash. Look at Mike Tyson. Or OJ Simpson. Or dozens of similar rags-to-riches-to-rags stories.
You can take the idiot out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the idiot.
Whoa! Time Out!
I guess I mean this as a jocular admission. I've got virtues, but through no virtue of my own, particularly, it seems like I'm fairly well situated ...
Man, if I had that kind of money I would invest a whole bunch of it.
“It also reminds me of just how many great black athletes there are who can’t even get jobs as coaches at the same universities and NBA teams that exploited them many years ago.”
Please exploit me with that kind of dough...once my career was over...you’d never hear from me again...Retired in the mountains and enjoying life till i croaked :)

I had heard when Pres Monroe was readying the ships to haul all the ‘dissatisfied’ minorities to the newly purchased country ‘Liberia’ that the First Class Cabins were stocked with a lawyer or two - to help the new ‘citizens’ get there feet on the ground.
Apparently at the time, slavery and all — not enough people were upset enough with US to leave.... Just sayin’
What’s the saying? “...You could confiscate 100% of the wealth from the top 10 percent and *give* it without conditions to the bottom 10% and within short order, the newly wealthy bottom 10% will be broke again and the formerly wealthy top 10% will be on their way to being wealthy again...”
The problem is people who chronically make bad decisions. It doesn’t mean they are bad people, just unfortunate. Even when they know better, they just can’t stop themselves from buying a fur kitchen sink or believing they can beat the house in Las Vegas (or whatever).

I earned a whole bunch of money in my lifetime.
Most went to fast cars, fast women and good booze.
Just blew the rest of it. <: <: <:
Obsolete farm equipment. Very low IQ. I’m sorry to say it, but it’s the truth.
Just proves that one can be poor because one is stupid.
Always someone else's fault
LOL!!!! I don't know which is the bigger idiot. Vin or the author of this idiotic article.
These stories are not unusual.
You take your average 80 IQ black with some athletic ability and you give him a bunch of money. He blows through it and is broke again.
This is a major reason of why “reparations” is pointless. These people would have a pile of cash for a day or two and be broke again in short order and demanding more.
I love hearing these stories. It makes me feel better about myself.
