Jay-Z Catching Hate For Barclays Being Ex-Slave Traders
I think this is BS, but TMZ is going at Jay-Z because the Nets took 400 million from Barclays Bank for the naming rights to the new basketball stadium for the Nets. The controversy is over Barclays Bank profiting off slavery in the past. Jay-Z is not a major owner of the team, TMZ reports only less then one percent, so why we you look at him to boycott or try to change the mines of everyone else. There must be plenty of businesses that profited off of slavery, but I don’t see everybody going around boycotting them. I’m open to hear opinions, also check out the comments they left on TMZ, tisk tisk.

First off, TMZ is a Racist ass site. Every comment on their is posted by some fucking honky. Blacks get no love what so ever on that site. and so what if “Barclays Bank” profited off slavery how many years ago?!? Jay-Z is profiting off them now.
The man is not an idiot. I’m sure ANYTHING he does or has a hand in he benefits from. From the beginning he’s been getting the best of Everyone. It will continue.
I dont like Jay-Z(he screwed over my man Dame) but fuck TMZ for trying to put down a brotha who’s makin moves.
G-G-G-G-G-G-GUNIT!
Prepare for the onslaught, people. The ignorant statements of, “Jay-Z is a sellout” coming from kids that don’t even read or stay in class long enough to learn the true history of the GLOBAL slave trade…I can’t wait for the Nets to reach Brooklyn.
Even if Barclays did at one time profit from slavery, isn’t it good to see a strong black man profitting now and using some of it to donate to schools, bring clean water to needy African communities and giving gifts to innercity children on holidays? Who has the power now! Let’s continue to take steps forward and not back people.
To poster #1 (Punk Royal)
You sound ignorant with the ‘honkey’ talk. You sound upset that someone else might be racist, yet you don’t care that you yourself are one.
Look in the mirror dog.
On topic, Jay-Z.. Do you damn thing and don’t let nobody tell you otherwise, because they’d be the first people top sign on the dotted line if ever given the chance.
Jay don’t have a say in it any damn way..
Nobody is turning down 40% of a BILLION DOLLARS for naming rights to a building.
lmao.. He called me “Dog”. Obviously “killa” [nice name,honky] you’ve never been on TMZ.
yo fuck dis punk royal ass fagget.. y cant yall jus respect a black man whos doin mo shit than yo punk ass will ever do.. Jay Prolly reads this kinda shit as he throws away a pair of gucci loafers lmao
Jay-z is the greatest since big died. Dem crakerz at TMZ are hatin ass hoez they stay tryna create controversey, remember the Tyrese incident with his girlfriend, that was blown out of proportion, now this? Come on people its all a game to get you to visit their site. They go after the bigggest name in hip hop so you can log onto their wack ass site, all they want you to do is visit their site, click on their sponsers ads, so they can make profit, and the only way they can get you to do that is by calling out a name that the whole world knows, Jay-Z. Its all a stupid game.
Brandon P = KillaCali213, why you changed your name? [lmaoo]
Anyone who can read can pretty much see not one person said anything negative about Jay-Z.
