Kader's output is very impressive for a twenty year old and the fact that so many people are trying to deny that proves that Slap is almost always harsher on black skaters than anyone else.
I posted the Reynolds list because I didn't realize worldsbestweedsmoker was clearly trolling with his comparison. If he thinks the Thankyouvans shitpost video was somehow on the level (for its time) as The End or Feedback he's fried.
I think in the case of Kader when you have a legend really pushing him as the future of a generation and then his output mostly becomes weed smoking clips in an era where it's easier than ever people are going to come to the conclusion that he's not producing the amount of content they would expect from the hype.
We don't know what he's actually doing, he was injured for a long time, and there are plenty of other skaters that have just as little output for their pro status aka much of the current FA squad. If you are higher profile you're naturally going to attract more praise and more criticism. You could say the same of any athlete in any sport I could name a dozen pros in the sports I follow of multiple races and nationalities with similar career arcs. I'd like to see his footage because I like his skating.
I remember you saying the same thing when people were questioning TJ's new company, which has been a dud so far. Specifically I remember you implying I was racist for saying he sounded arrogant in an interview. I think most pro athletes sound arrogant, but it's not their race it's likely that they're motivated by competition and are surrounded by people who want to hype them up to be the best at whatever. At the same time I think it has also come across that TJ puts an insane amount of work into his parts and lives and breathes all of his companies and that's definitely a rarity for someone his age in skating and if it were me doing all those things with success I'd probably be the same.
