So you know i'm sitting back sipping on that Drank, watching this pro bowl selection show. Then I see something that makes Critical spit out his Drank, not to many things can make Theory do that. I look at the TV AND I see that Cato June a LB for the Dolts made the Pro Bowl over him.

Basically the only reason why he made it because the Colts defense got alot of pub this year and of course the record.

What did he do to deserve to a pro bowl? Bulluck made more tackles put up better stats but damn a guy named Cato made it.

Man Bulluck would probally never be on a team of mine but this is ridiculous.

Well back to sipping on that Drank

I think your doging Bulluck pretty hard homie. He's the best player on defense we've had for 4+ years, and despite what you may think, is a very solid LB.

However, Cato getting choosen over Bulluck is just inexcusible. The Pro Bowl is a complete joke...

that Drank?

he spelled it fa-net-ick-lee

:ha:

that Drank?Kaz know what I mean

And to that HOESBY Got speak what you know, I didn't spell it phonetically I wasn't trying to say Drink or anything like that.

If you don't know the real keep quiet and don't speak on what I say.

It's a black thing guys...:ha:


I'm still miffed over this Cato dude gettin' the nod.

well i know a lot of try hard black people....Yeah Cato sucks.

well i know a lot of try hard black people....Yeah Cato sucks."Try Hard"

What you mean?

CT, I cant figure out if I like your post, am confused by them, or just think they are funny. Your like the West Coast version of ROLLTIDE!!!!

Bulluck is the HEAT!

"Try Hard"

What you mean?

lol, bout time I came up with a word that I knew and you didnt. Lol.

try hard = wanna be black people -> white people who think they are black.

CT, I cant figure out if I like your post, am confused by them, or just think they are funny. Your like the West Coast version of ROLLTIDE!!!!

Bulluck is the HEAT!

lol imagine RollTide from the ghetto. :ha:

CT, I cant figure out if I like your post, am confused by them, or just think they are funny. Your like the West Coast version of ROLLTIDE!!!!

Bulluck is the HEAT!Yea Critical is somewhat of an Enigma can never truly be figured out it's a good thing.

Now as my eyes scanned your second sentence I noticed something you compared The Theory to RollTide. Now I can't be compared to anybody but people can be compared to me.

So when you really think about it RollTide is like the East Coast Version of me. Even though he could never be me.

You know i'd love to be around you when you pick up women.

lol imagine RollTide from the ghetto. :ha: Why does it have to be ghetto? How come it couldn't be "From California" or the "Westside"?

You kool dude Gunny but that doesn't mean I won't verbally BEAST you on here!!!

You do know Rolltide is white and highly conservative, right? I wouldn't compare CT to him in the least. :ha:

Careful or you'll be beast talked.

Why does it have to be ghetto? How come it couldn't be "From California" or the "Westside"?

Cos this could be my only chance to ever say Ghetto in my entire life. :ha:

You kool dude Gunny

We all know that.:brow:

but that doesn't mean I won't verbally BEAST you on here!!!

I'd be scared if you physically beasted me...:winker:

You do know Rolltide is white and highly conservative

no way, your joking right?

Kaz know what I mean

And to that HOESBY Got speak what you know, I didn't spell it phonetically I wasn't trying to say Drink or anything like that.

If you don't know the real keep quiet and don't speak on what I say.

First it's MR. GoT to you.

Second I don't know nor care what a HOESBY is, but I gather you are familiar with them so I will leave it at that.

I use one word that somebody doesn't know "Drank" and i'm using ebonics wow the stupidity. How hard is it to understand "BEAST" and that surely wouldn't be ebonics.

Thats like if someone who lives in the country or a state that is traditionally country and they use a word I don't know. I'm going to say they're speaking like "Rednecks"???? c'mon now how stupid would that be.

Fools like NOT are sad pathetic people who in the hell spends their time trying to tell someone about english on a football board?

Cowboy has its roots in the English language.

Most words on that list trace back to European languages, except for those that originated in slang, and percolated in to common usage.

But to suggest that they trace back to African languages is a false claim.

I am not hung up on spelling or anything else like that, you obviously would not know a joke from shinola. So untwist your GQ boxers and spritz some Axe or do anything else you like cause you obviously do not understand that I was making a joke you left coast TOWDUMP:))

One in every 5 Cowboys of the American west were in fact black. If you look at the annual north-south migration pattern that the cowboys followed. It bears no resemblence to European cattle keeping patterns but it is analogus to the patterns of Fulani Herders. Fulani's lived or live through Nigeria and Sudan a few other places.

The Texas Longhorn is actually an African Cattle they were on the 1st Slave ships to mexico.

The Fulani's oversaw the expansion of British/Anmerican cattle, they were the ones who introduced "Open Grazing" to the American Cattle industry.

Thing is like around 1865 the Africans who responsiblity were Cattle were refered to as Cowboys and thats in plantation records!!!. White herders called themselves CattleMen to set themselves apart.

That North-South pattern I spoke of is directly related to the Fulani migratory patterns of their cattle herders.

Lets be real here African contributions are all through America just no one wants to speak on it. Hell the Africans fueled the economy during slavery basically building America no one can deny that.

If you do not believe me look up Historian Peter H.Wood

What's your point? America is an amalgamation of several different cultures. Not one single culture is responsible for where we are today. But really...who cares about the patterns that the cattle and cowboys used....

"There is a Flag on the play Flagrant use of Horrible humor, no one is laughing 15yd penalty plus ejection from the thread"

well Critical Theory I'll give you one thing. I was gonna ridicule you about Mexican Slave ships, but I looked it up instead and you are correct about that. Slavery was outlawed by 1830 in Mexico, then the whole Texas thing, but still I learned something and I thank you for that.

Aww come on give it a rest, although I liked the Goonie mentioning. Gotta credit you with some style points on that one. lol

"There is a Flag on the play Flagrant use of Horrible humor, no one is laughing 15yd penalty plus ejection from the thread"


well the original joke was like a page and a half ago (fo-net-ick-lee?). Other posters thought it was slightly humerous at least - heck so did I or I would not have posted

What's your point? America is an amalgamation of several different cultures. Not one single culture is responsible for where we are today. But really...who cares about the patterns that the cattle and cowboys used....If you learn how to stay out of other people business I wouldn't have to explain this to you.

Slackmaster said Cowboy had no African origin he's not at fault for it but it's another case of trying to discredit African Contributions. I simply came back with the facts stating that Cowboy is of African origin.

Slack cared enough about it, I did so someone does care learn something but of course you aren't trying to see that.

So Basically my points are

1. Stay out of other peoples business
2. Cowboy is of African Origin
3. Both me and Slack Cared

Have a Beer, better yet some "Drank" lol

can't we all just get a long.

Funny how when you want to be taken seriously you actually speak like an intelligent adult but all your other posts are trash....but whatever. You will not tell me what I can and cannot post about so get over yourself.

I don't mean to get in the way of your banter but I couldn't let this obvious logical error go. The word "cowboy" is not of African origin. By 1865 the slave trade hadn't brought over any Africans for a long time. The word Cowboy must therfore be an English word used by white slave owners to refer to black cattle hurders, unless of course you are trying to say that Africans kept the plantation records and the etymology of the words "cow" and "boy" are actually African.

I'm pretty sure you'll be pretty mad about me trying to correct you and you'll probably dismiss my comments altogether, but it had to be said.

It isn't a matter of trying to minimize African cultural contributions, which are in fact numerous.
It is a matter of keeping facts straight.

The etymology of "cowboy" goes back to the British isles in the medieval times. Back then, most slaves were white.

Some of the words on your list seem to come from slang usage, which indeed may have been linguistic innovations from decendants of African slaves, but that took place right here in America, so calling them "African" is a rather curious "pick and choose."

Even instances in which a strong case for African influence can be made, such as "banjo" there is room for scholarly debate; did it come from the African "mbanza" or from the Portugese "bandurra" which goes back to Greek and Latin?

Is this a conspiracy to minimize Portugese contributions to culture?

Was "jazz" coined by Jelly Roll Morton (making it American), derived from Mandingo (which I asume is your claim), or derived from French via Creoles?

So if you want to make blanket assertions, back it up with some scholarship.
I am certain some partisans of ethnic pride will make their cases for an African root for those words, just as etymologists have been tracing the origin of those words to other roots for centuries.

CriticalTheory,
Ignorant? I suppose when you are engaged in a job interview and the potential employer asks you a question you don't quite understand you might be better off responding with "what do you mean" as opposed to "what you mean". You can justify your difficulty to communicate all you want and I will agree, if you want to talk like a person from a different planet you have that right but if your intent is to actually communicate (transfer thought, feelings, facts) that most of us can understand we would appreciate it if you speak in the English language. It is obvious you are intentionally being "ebonic" or whatever it is and calling someone pathetic or a fool is ridiculous. Of course saying something totally moronic like "Lets gets something perfectly 180 degree straight here 1st of all I don't have to do anything for anybody on here" is far more pathetic.

This is a sports message board big shot, not a job interview. You guys need to lighten-up. Some real squares on this board, I swear. :ha:

Yea, it is a message board. Which means making an attempt to communicate is important as well as showing some respect for others. Contrary to this attitude that "I don't have to do anything for anybody" which is childish, selfish and moronic this should be no different than if we were all sitting around a table having a discussion.
The comment about the job interview was making two points.
1. As wg53 pointed out, Critical has the capability to speak as an intelligent adult when he wants to and
2. If you want respect, show respect. Just because this is a message board there is no reason to show our arse all the time.

1. You do realize that came after the fact that posters get heated because he uses "ebonics" (BTW, no one on this board uses ebonics; go get in your car and head for you local ghetto if you want to hear real slang). I don't find anything wrong with the way he speaks on a message board, and if your offended by slang in a casual setting such as this, then you got problems.

2. If your offended, put him or anyone on ignore, or go cry to the mods in the PM box. This whole bull**** needs to stop in football threads man. :sad2:

BTW, this whole "what words came from the Dark Continent" is silly man. The english language is a mixing bowl of so many different cultures and root words from countless older languages, it really doesn't take 1/2 the posts in this thread to argue over it. Yes, of course theres going to be African roots in the english language; our culture is just as deeply rooted in America as white history. But c'mon now. "Cowboy"? I'm co-signing Slackmaster on this one.

Unless you just came over here on a boat or a plane then last I checked we are all "Americans" not freaking Africans (since I bet most of the "African Americans" neither have been to Africa nor can name a realative from there) nor are we "Europeans" (since most of us have never been there nor can we name a close relative from there) This racial divide crap is stupid and needs to be gotten over by everyone.

Who says I'm offended? Hardly. I'm not crying either. I am saying that spewing a bunch of non-sense and then saying "Lets gets something perfectly 180 degree straight here 1st of all I don't have to do anything for anybody on here" is obviously self centered and disrespectfull. You can defend idiotic jibberish if you want, that is your right. Help yourself.

I'm defending his or anyone else's right to say what they want, within TJ's rules. I can understand what he's saying, it's not ebonics or some alien language. So why are people complaining?

"Drank" "Beast" since when did those words become ebonics? One word makes a entire post ebonic???

Like I told someone else in this thread find one post of mine where every word could be considered "Ebonic" hell it must not be too ebonic. If you are responding to them!!!

SoxCat who are you? What type of guy cries and don't say you are not because thats exactly what you are doing. About what someone says that wasn't even directed at them. You and Wg53 act like females so go to a beauty salon and get your nails done.

It's one thing to comment but to cry, wail and flail is pathetic.

The only idiotic jibberish on here comes from your mind goes through your fingertips and onto your screen then to everybody else screen.

Remember this Soxcat I pay your Bills!!!

use the ignore feature - it's not permanent, helps a lot when people are getting on your nerves - you can always remove them later. I think people just like to argue/create arguments here sometimes. Visit a Colts/Raiders/Ravens/Steelers site for that stuff.

I wonder if I have ever been put on ignore.

Did Gunny say something? Because I have him on ignore, and I'm sure his comment was moronic and/or homosexual.
