    Wow! This interview nearly made me cry with how much i could relate as a former drug addict who really struggled in the recovery stage because i wasn’t able to look at myself in the mirror and be honest with who i truly was along with past trauma. But once you win the battle against yourself you truly can do anything. May God bless him and keep him on the right path.

    I feel like charlamagne and envy tried their best to make dude break about the retirement and divorce. Legit just kept asking about it.( Industry trick, as the same question in different ways to get the answer you want or to trip up your guest). Homie stood 10 toes when he said he at peace, in a better space, and ultimately working toward his pursuit of happiness.

He actually really loves basketball more than football but he plays football (I think) for the same reasons you did. Thank you for sharing your story 😊.

Thank you for being a real man admitting your struggles/weak points as well as giving people a path to overcome their personal weaknesses.

    1000% can relate to that colorism and racism thing growing up and and dealing with feeling isolated cause of that. I still deal with that some to this day. People look at me weird when I say it but I’ve genuinely experienced just as much if not more racism and prejudice from black people( while being black) for being lightskin or not being “black enough” as I have from white people.
    The lil jokes and stuff are funny sometimes but I’ve literally been excluded and talked about by “my own people” time after time growing up for just being me and for doing/liking the things I like.

    • @CleannSlate
      @CleannSlate 2 дні тому

      I was raised to speak articulately, but some people will tell me I “talk white”. I was raised to dress presentably at all times because you never know who you might bump into, but some will say I dress like I’m “from the suburbs”. I echo everything you’ve shared, and a part of me even at 30yo holds a grudge against my parents for raising me in a “white neighborhood”. But they were only trying to give me an upbringing that they dreamed of. Safety, comfort, peace.
      Now these kids are growing up with social media, and I can’t imagine the level of judgement they might be receiving from their “brothers & sisters”. WE, as a Black community, have to do better uplifting and encouraging our Black peers. No matter what they sound, look, or act like. It really is important. Thank you for your comment.
      And thank you Darren Waller for being vulnerable. Your journey is a healing tool for a lot of people.
