Jay-Z, part owner of the New Jersey Nets, announced recently that the new arena for the team will be built in Brooklyn, his hometown. The arena's naming rights were purchased by Barclays, a UK-based bank, paying $400 million for 20 years. Just after the January 18th announcement though, local politicians and journalists criticized the team and its majority owner, Bruce Ratner, for taking money from a bank whose founding family profited from their ownership of slaves in the 18th century and their involvement with the South African government in the 1980s :grumpy: :grumpy:
Since then, Jay-Z, who owns less than one percent of the team :sleep: :whistle: :puke: :loser: , has declined to comment. His reps have told the press they will neither address the matter or take any action. The rapper does have a recent history of boycotting though: Last year, he stopped drinking and serving Cristal champagne at his 40/40 clubs after an executive with Cristal's producer made disparaging remarks about rappers and their affinity for the drink. Barclays, for its part, says its slave-trade past should be understood in the context of history, and says that it will spend $2.5 million on enhancing basketball courts all over the borough of Brooklyn in good faith ;D

there's a rumour goin around beyonce is really 32..
-
fuckin cry babies...barclays cud have jus changed its name...im pretty sure the main part of the majority holders and boardroom exec's from the 18th century have snuffed it by now arent you???...or at the least taking on a less hands-on approach... ::)
Barclays, for its part, says its slave-trade past should be understood in the context of history, and says that it will spend $2.5 million on enhancing basketball courts all over the borough of Brooklyn in good faith
thats fucking hilarious really...are they going to do that everytime someone brings up events no-one alive can even remember??...live & let live..jay made a business choice...this is business...not rap..think this much fuss would have been made apart this if it wasnt j cutting the deal???..get real..
-
most celebrities look like shit without makeup, its hard to find a true beauty these days
-
And the team is only worth 300 million dollars :laugh:
Jay can't even put up 3 million dollars.
Dame > Jay
Basically, Dame was a boss, and Jay is pathetic.
-

I wouldn't be surprised after lookin at them pics
-
I guarantee there are a helluva lot more businesses who took part in slavery, ya'll are just hatin' because it's Jay-Z, if it was Snoop you wouldn't be sayin' shit.
-
Haha, people talk about how he OWNS the team, but he only got 1 percent :laugh:
Camel ass house nigga. Keep makin' massah rich.
I hope this changes your view on Jigga, Almight Blackman. I know you couldn't support this Uncle Tom.
if it was Snoop you wouldn't be sayin' shit.
Fuck Snoop's ass too. He couldn't make a decent album anymore if his life depended on it.
-
hes fuckin Beyonce
so in the end he wins
ya feel me
-
the loser with beyonce on his dick an 300 million dollars in the bank
broke ass niggaz
-
He really needs to shut the fuck up talking as if he owned the Nets... fucking gimmick owner.
-
any chick looks good once they go to hollywood
-
any chick that looks good wants to go to hollywood and gets there and its crazy....
but I like the second picture of beyonce posted (with the short natural hair) more than any other recent pic of her.
she lost way too much weight, her chin shows it alot. I liked it when she was way more thick. I once banged a half black half white chick that looks like a younger thicker version of the first no make up picture. shit was coo'. but yeah I think celebrity chicks are overrated specially when they ain't thick, I hate feeling like I'm gonna break a chick.
and no one is doubting that Jay is succesful at life but alot of people that are whack/whack people/make bad art are succesful at life.

Didn't Jay have his own vodka? Whether he did or he didn't, it's liquor, not doing deals with the same cats that enslaved his people.
Nice try though.

Lol @ posting that in an attempt to overshadow Jay's accomplishment by giving her at least 3 straight years of dick.
Even at her worst-looking moment I'd still smash her without a second thought.
-
ahh these jigga threads lol
-
Jay-Z runs shit and hes running it pretty damn good IMO

Liquor of course, but BOTH Dipset and Jigga sell the shit so really what is your point? As a matter of fact I don't think Dipset even puts Sizzurp out anymore while Jigga is still putting his shit out and selling it in his clubs so that just takes away all the credibility from your argument. SO to sum it up, Jigga does deals with slave owners and sells liquor. You basically don't have a leg to stand on.
Also, it's not like they're targeting black people in general with their alcohol. It's not crack cocaine, man.
-
I also want to see what Almighty Blackman has to say about this. I mean, you're my brotha in the struggle and we're gonna us Gods are gonna reign supreme one day cuz Allah said so, but you confuse me with your alliance towards Jigga when he's just an Uncle Tom ass nigga. What the deal, duke?

I really don't give a fuck about the actual issue here, IMO it's just a bunch of noise over nothing. What major European business existing in the 18th century wasn't connected to slavery one way or another? But like I said, I don't really give a fuck about that.
BUT:
Going by those pics....
Whoopi > > > Beyonce
That had me laughing. :laugh:
And peeps should be posting those "this is what that celebrity really looks like" type of pics. Ruins a mofo's fantasies, for real.

barclays is 1 of the very first banks in the world, if not the first, i doubt it really depended on slavery money, maybe had somn to do with it but i doubt it was started on that kinda money
as for jay-z if he owned less than 1 percent i doubt he'd be in the board of excutives.... well unless some 1 hired him for this position which is not likely to be the case..
jay defenately owns over 5%
