This Week in Black Prezodential History

Oh man, I was all set to write a glowing Black Prez Historical tract about one of my favorite players of yesteryear. But occasionally the harsh light of passed time begins to reveal truths about your heroes that you never could have imagined in your youth. You may find out that there are a handful of women out there on the internet accusing a once-revered figure of being a roofie artist (I'm looking at you, Chris Gatling). Or you might discover something even worse, like that a seemingly Rushmore-worthy Black Prezodent is in fact, a huge cheesedick. I give you the website of our 21st Black Prezodent: Brian Grant.

Make sure you've got the sound on. It really makes the website. Smooth, ambient jazz.

Check out the "Private" pictures. Check out the "Media" section, which consists of a handful of commercials that Brian barely appears in. Check out the fact that it seems to insist on the fact that he's still an active basketball player ("Contract status: Active"), when he is clearly not an active basketball player and has not been for years. Dude has a logo. He wants to be a star, when he is not. True Black Prezodents don't want to be stars, but are. But sometimes mistakes are made, and you can't sweep your past beneath the rug and pretend it doesn't exist. You simply learn your lesson--that fashion dreads and a Marley tattoo do not indicate true cool--and move on.

  1. He was a solid rebounder and defender, which are generally not pussy characteristics, but I am now prepared to admit his pussitude based on what I have seen.
