So Ice Cube figures if you’re going to go down — like “Down goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier!” — then you might as well go down swingin’, so Ice Cube’s singin’ and swingin’ by going on a media tour, voicing his displasure about how the NBA/Commissioner Adam Silver has been trying to kill his Big 3 league.

According to Ice Cube, the NBA has been threatening sponsors, NBA refs, current players, and its owners to not do business with the Big 3, although the Boston Celtics Jaylen Brown recently played in the Big 3’s allstar game to make a point. Ice Cube mentioned Adam Silver and CEO Mark Tatum not wanting his league to thrive. Tatum, who looks Black, has the typical anti-Black background: Chinese, Vietnamese, and Jamaican — do your reasearch. How do you think Tatum got the job? Kissing major azz.

Additionally, and most importantly, the United States Department of Justice has initiated an investigation to look into the matter (anti-trust violations), but I wouldn’t expect much from them; they may be simply “fakin’ the funk” to look good because we all know the government loves frontin’ when it comes to Black folks.

It’s also interesting that Ice Cube’s Big three partner and head of his Cube Vision production company, Jeff Kwatinetz, was previously accused of being “racist and hostile (environment)” by ex-Big 3 commisioner and former NBA player Roger Mason. Kwatinetz, an entertainment exec and former attorney, fired Mason for cavorting with two rich Qatari investors who didn’t deliver on the financial support for the Big 3, and were believed to be working with Mason and the Quinn Emanuel law firm, which also represented Ice Cube’s Big 3, possibly all working to start their own league using insider info from the law firm. You see, Quinn Emanuael had a long-time lucrative relationship with the Qatari investors.

The plot thickens.

So one would think, but not really, Black NBA players, who make up 70-75 percent of the NBA, would rally around Cube and put Silver in his place, considering their talent brings in the billion-dollar TV contracts . . . but then I woke up. NBA Negroes are probably the moset narcissistic, self-serving Black foks on the planet.

So don’t hold your breath!

My name is Walter Hilliard III. I have a B.S. degree in Public Administration and a Masters in Psychology (specialty in Media Psychology). I’m currently seeking publishers for a book focusing on Black Self-Destruction and two inspirational eBooks, having already published a multitude of articles in several different newspapers and magazines over the years. I’ve been a head basketball coach on the high school and college level, and taught success classes at a private college, created numerous community and college programs focusing on leadership, mentoring, college awareness (for inner-city kids), and employment and training. And I have worked as an employment and training manager, family therapist, behavior specialist, college retention specialist, juvenile detention center treatment supervisor, and a contractor, facilitating relationship and marriage education groups for couples. The purpose of Universal Soul Power is to confront negative media messages about African Americans, proliferate positive messages about the Black community, and inspire all those who are part of the universe, but especially African Americans, through my inspirational writings. The truth is that most African Americans haven’t lost their Spiritual Souls, yet (although some of us behave like we’ve lost our minds), but we have lost our “Soul” — that NewRhythmandBluesyContemporaryHipHopSoul that allows us to be compassionate, productive leaders who recognize what really matters in life and live our lives beyond fad terms like “Swag,” instead embracing more fulfilling concepts like being Calm, Cool, and Collected, and knowing what they are all about: being your “growing self,” dancing to your own Life Drum, in tune, on beat, unfazed by fear, and leaving the world a better place when they move on. Now dat’s Real Soul, and dat’s whatum talkin’ ’bout! Walter L. Hilliard III
