he really kind of exposed himself to be low-level unhinged in that Jenkem interview -- is all of skate media gonna interview him now hoping for some more spicy quotables?
did he discuss how he self-identifies as "not black"?
This shit is depressing, wakka flakka flame claims it too. Imagine hating your ethnicity so much that you claimed that it wasn’t who you are, and it was the only thing you wrote about yourself in a one sentence bio.
There were people of African descent who escaped slavery and joined the Cherokee and other nations, but even those who joined were still ethnically African. Cherokee people do still exist. Here’s their national tribal council:
Don’t look easy to confuse for black to me.
Honestly though, its consistent with the rest of who he is, he doesn’t like anybody identifying him in any way but one specific self-image in his head “I’m not Gersh,” “I’m not a ‘skateboarder’” etc.
Hope dude finds peace
lost me when he dissed the armed forces it's just a business blah blah, yea war sucks the government sucks, but Gershon gets to live here in a free counrty and wander around skating and complaining. try living in communist or 3rd world countries Gershon.. But long ago or recently people we're related to or knew died so we can live in a free country and spend our days worrying about kick flips. Were lucky as hell, Rest assured country's have tried to take that freedom away from us.
Besides that he just has a soured attitude, mad he didn't stay on top
Military presence and amount of freedom are inversely related.
Communist nations? The Soviet Union collapsed because of overspending on their MILITARY.
Let’s take a look at how other communist nations view their militaries:
Here’s North Korea showing that commies hate the military:
China? If only they had a military, there’d be freedom!
Oh wait
The reality is that the stronger a military is, the less free the people are.
The whole “freedom isn’t free” military thing is complete and utter bullshit propaganda that is based on no evidence.
And no, other countries don’t try to take pur freedom, we take theirs. Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Korea, etc. all our wars are about interfering with a nation’s right to self-determination. The last war fought to maintain out nation’s existence was the war of 1812, jackass
