Grave Robbers
Just went we thought Swagger or Swagga was resting in peace, CNN comes along and pisses all over its grave. Not only that, they went in, played around with the remains and then left the corpse on the road like it was “Weekend at Bernie’s”.
Check this out…
It’s messed up enough that anchor Kyra Phillips is horribly mispronouncing Swagger and several other hip hop terms, she had to pull a brother into it to try and justify her ignorance.
CNN stop with these antics and please just let Swagger rest in peace!

Kyra Phillips must be destroyed!! I saw this clip on the Daily Show. WTF was running through the producers mind when this idea was approved?
CNN please don’t ever do a piece like this again

ABSOLUTELY NOT! She needs to stop, ASAP!
“FLAVA, SWAGGA” are you serious? Then she’s got the brotha out like he’s supposed to justify or offer some cred to the topic at hand.
….Jesus take the wheel!

Billy Dee Williams to Shaft!?!?! Forget Kyra, I’m mad at T.J.
Last thing we need is ppl out there thinking Obama walks around the White House w/ a can of Colt 45 and a leather jacket ready to let suckas know…
Damn, damn, damn!

My favorite 40 is a Colt 45, there’s nothing wrong with one every now & then, even for the president. Obama seems like he has good taste, I mean, look at Michelle.

Hahahaaa…. oh man.
Alright, c’mon. It’s true!!! Obama is THAT man, & has got a lil sum’sum no other president has ever had before… whatever u wanna call it now that “swagger” (u peep how while Kyra was saying “swaggA”, TJ was saying swaggER” & it sounded better???) is dead & gone, he’s got it.
Anyway, that being said, this piece was kyra’s favorite piece of her life. I have never seen an anchorperson that animated and bubbly about a segment in the history of me watching the news. She was so anxious off her hypeness, getting all bursty & awkward when it came time to “hug it out” & “fist bump,” I had a twinge of embarrassment for her in the pit of my stomach.
I wasn’t put off by this piece in the least… got some good laughs and a good head shake, but all in all I’m glad the world notices that Obama is THE man. & TJ probably wanted to do it

…one fear that did flash thru my mind while watching, tho, was that TJ was setting himself up all on his own; after searchin for ways to reaffirm his blackness around set & possibly w/ his peers, voila, he finally landed upon his perfect platform (pause) where he could openly use a “black” word not realizing he’d still be playin catchup in the end.

lol i totally agree. i was very embarrassed (sp?) for kyra, but she looked like she really enjoyed that segment… made her feel like she was “down.” otherwise, i think that CNN should refrain from stuff like this… they don’t want to fall down to Fox News level (terrorist fist jab… um, what???).

TJ handled himself well and contained his inner black man and inner ignorance(to a degree). Im still asking CNN to chill and leave this to ESPN where its expected..
I just hope TJ hit off Kyra after this, because she looks like shes ready fam…. word

Saw this posted on Facebook. This video will have a special place in YouTube hell.
I’m mad at T.J. (even though he’s sexy) for perpetuating this ish. He should be ‘shamed of himself. That’s why you’re a low-rate Don Lemon anyhow. Naw, I’d still do you, though.
It’s like they were trying to fill in some sort of pop culture slang quota. They managed to fit in “swagga”, “hug it out” and a “pound” (it’s a DAP silly wabbits!). I cringed throughout this whole video. And Jesus wept.

I know they’re the same, I just prefer the D word.
Too many 2520s have been using bump and/or pound, thus losing hood points.

Just goes to show how stupid some people still are. This Kyra chick reminds of this white girl from my job, she always trys to speak Ebonics to me and says me and this other waitress are her only black friends. Keep in mind I’ve only chilled with her once outside of work.
TJ didn’t bother me that much. Just a simple token negro trying to tell Massa what they saying out in the field.
