Donovan Mitchell - CRT and Off Court Racial Issues were Draining

Always relevant:

You’ll never root out the injustices and inequalities that Mitchell pointed out by ignoring them.

You'll never root out all injustices and inequalities. But that is just my opinion.

Doesn't mean you shouldn't try, but Donovan spreading stereotypes to his followers who are haters only make the problem worse.

I didn't single out Mitchell for suffering from racism in Utah. I'm sure it is widespread here, and everywhere. He is the one with the platform, though, that influences many others. His message of the racist people and fans of Utah is biased but too many people will want to believe it to be so.
Almost every NBA player visits Utah at least once a year. Mitchell's not saying anything that isn't already known around the NBA.
 
I can't count how many times I've heard Mike Conley or Rudy Gobert talk about how draining it was to live in Utah and deal with that on a nightly basis. Not to mention how much Derrick Favors, Alec Burks, and Jae Crowder disliked it. And I'll bet Thurl Bailey can't wait to get out of there. Last I heard, Clarkson is begging for a trade.
 
Donovan's words are biased though and only partially true. There is racism everywhere but becuase people want to put others down, too many of those who hear his message will believe that we are more racist than is actually true.

Like I said think for yourself who cares what one person says no matter who they are. If you cannot do the math thats on you. Location has nothing to do with racism but everything to do with it at the same time

You have to be purposefully obtuse to not see the clear and obvious reasons why a black person might not want to speak out about those things with the reception Donovan has gotten for speaking out about those things.
 
Donovan did tell you his issues. You said he should shut up and dribble.

I don't know you in real life. Maybe you do as you say when Black friends talk to you about their experiences. But in this particular thread, you seem far more concerned about complaining about the stereotype than just having a Black person's back when they speak up.
It's incredibly telling the responses from this forum the problems are still very real and very prevalent.

It may be hard to believe but different people can have different experiences in nearly the same scenario. Michael Jordan had a much different experience when he won his 6th ring, than, say, Rusty LaRue.

Why do you think all black people are the same? Different people respond in different ways. What exhausts one might energize another.
