I’m sure these things were already going to happen...

One day and we are already seeing some action... wait until the owners and players meet and see what comes out of it.

This has nothing to do do with a one game protest.

Disappointed they conceded so early. The capitalist system just makes change so hard due to greed and power.

Im glad they got some stuff done, but felt like they could have done more. All in all it was good, I just got my revolutionary hopes up lmao

You pretty much nailed leftists to a T. Too bad you're trying to shift their actions and clear history of the last 4 years to Trump supporters. Love him or hate him, there is irrefutable evidence that leftists are unhinged and have been causing extreme discord and violence across the country since 2016. They still haven't accepted the results of the election, but are trying to say that Trump is the one who wouldn't? Typical blame shifting game from Democrats, it's page 1 of their election playbook, accuse others of that of which I am guilty.

Let's do a bet. You go out and find x number of quotes from Democratic Senators or governors in the last 5 years (that's well over 50 people) talking about rejecting the results of an actual election, and then I will find 2x quotes from Donald Trump on the same topic. If I can't, you can add a sentence to my signature for the month of September. If I can, you acknowledge that Trump is the one regularly discussing ignoring the results of an election. You up for that?

I'm not saying they are the same at all. Never did. My example was that we have a divided country. We have divided communities. Until we stop judging people beforehand based on their appearance, we will continue to stay divided.

That's what this is all about right? We are all tired of black people being abused by cops. It has to stop. A cop needs to treat every single person the same. That type focus has to happen at every level.

I don't care if somebody calls me an old white dude while we hoop. I know others would be upset by it. It shouldn't exist either way.

What are these negative judgements that are hurting white people in America? People should be nice, but that's a different issue. You keep trying to say everyone and that's nice, but fact is that white people are treated that way already, black people are not.

What the hell? The 3 likes on this post are from one brow, cy, and hekate? Doesn't add up.

The red thumb is a dislike. So far, I've only used it on two posters, IIRC, and neither of the is PoliticalJazzFan.

Evidence has come out that he was resisting arrest and fighting with the officers.

Evidence based upon whose reports? The police that shot him, or other actual witnesses? Because when he was shot, there was no scuffle, and he had his back to the police.

It's a ****** situation but when you put it all together the police had every right to shoot the guy. Doesn't mean anyone has to like it but when a known criminal fights with police and then disobeys them and reaches for something it's a matter of safety for those officers at that time.

You know what's even safer? Taking his license plate and arresting him after things cool down a bit.

Lmao dude really be posting about black people being abused by cops and him getting called an old white dude while playing basketball in the same post.

It’s crazy how freedom fetishists also have a fetish for selective, brutal authoritarianism in this country.

That's a tradition that goes back to the Enlightenment. Freedom for me and mine.

I didn't expect you to comprehend.

Bad things happen when you treat people differently based off of the color of their skin. Whether its as irrelevant as a pickup game or as tragic as police brutality, it all needs to be addressed.

Lebron should leave US, go to Somalia, Mali, Kenya or something and show us how to build a society.

Those countries already have plenty of people/corporations/countries draining the wealth out of them. Why add Lebron to that?

Just like the Cleveland thing its probably a coincidence.

We treat people differently based on their height, musculature, gender, gender performance, voice timber, weight, mobility, age, accent, clothing, ... and race. Every single person alters their interaction based on all these factors in every conversation. What we can do is recognize what our reactions are, change our habits, and try and be better models for others, especially for our children.

To pretend we can avoid seeing any of this is counter to human nature. It's a way to sweep the issue under the rug. It's taking the easy way out. It's meaningless lip service. You might think you are saying something profound or important, but what you are proposing is to continue having the problem and for us to ignore it.

Yeah, something of this magnitude definitelyhappens in a span of less than 24 hours.

Let me clarify then - when you treat someone as inferior, or superior, based off the color of their skin, its wrong.

At the end of the day, isn't that the whole intent of black lives matter? Minorities are tired of getting treated unfairly. People can't agree with that then say its okay for dark skin guys to bully light skin guys at a rec center.

Just treat everybody with the same level of respect.

I guess if the season is cancelled Gordon Haywood can stop wishing his team would fail in his absence.

I refuse to show respect for someone who is unworthy of respect. He is an embarrassment to this fan base and forum as he cyber-bullies, calls people names, and now called someone a racist.

I raise my kids to treat every single person the same. Be nice to everyone you come across. Calling me a racist is a line he shouldn't cross.

People like Cy cheapen the world we live in. We shouldn't sit by and watch him wrecking ball people all the time on this forum.

 

[The Jazz Wonderbra]

Nope, not racism. There is no such thing as reverse racism. There is no empirical evidence of reverse racism. It's just something angry white people made up to try to keep their power.

ANY comment degrading someone based on race or skin color is by definition racism. When you bring skin color into the fight you cross a line. If you want change, don't cross the line.

Kenny Smith said it was inappropriate. I concur.

I wouldn't defend calling people racially motivated names. I certainly wouldn't say that it is somehow not racially motivated.

It doesn't compare to shooting someone in the back 7 times from point blank range. Absolutely true. We should be outraged as people. There is history that cannot be dismissed. But if we are going to move on then people need to not cross the line. PEOPLE, not some group of people as defined by skin color. Not white boys or African Americans.

Respect. Don't cross the line.

 

[The Jazz Wonderbra]

Nothing said on the court should be taken seriously off of it.

Ummm... I can think of lots of things that I could say on the court that should not be tolerated.

Don't cross the line whether on the court or off of it.
