Please read this! SLC Dunk- Black Lives Matter

[Beer]

It has certainly become very clear Donovan is super immature. Every player/teams page has those comments. Go check the last Lakers post. It’s whatever, he needs to grow up. If comments on social media get you that up tight you’re either looking for excuses to leave, or you’re really super immature.

What are you talking about? What did I miss?

In all fairness, if you make any of the other statements in that post nobody denounces you. If the breast cancer foundation is focused on talcum powder lawsuits and you point out that giving some attention other leading causes of breast cancer might make some sense nobody tells you that you're an out of touch, insensitive jerk. If you point to statistics that indicate that the general trend of a specific cause of cancer has been improving and that the vast majority of cancer doctors are very dedicated to properly handling the disease you aren't vilified. If you notice that some of the breast cancer activists are doing things like tatooing other body parts or destroying organs they don't particularly like you are not considered to be a bad person. When it comes to BLM if you do anything other than agree completely with everything they say, and capitulate immediately to all of their demands you are apparently, in their eyes, a racist. It is unlikely that we can make the necessary progress until the dialogue on both sides improves significantly.

If you say what about colon cancer after someone mentions breast cancer awareness, then yes, I think you receive some criticism.

Same for the Vegas shootings and Boston strong

So on the Jazz Instagram, there were comments of “all lives matter” and some stupid ignorant comments about the “black lives matter” post the Jazz put up. Donovan saw them, even replies to a few of those idiots, after which, he changed his twitter and Instagram background and profile pic to him out of a Jazz uniform, as well as deleted his most recent pic on IG of him celebrating with the crowd. Like, I understand the comments probably upset him but all you have to do is look at other players and teams comments sections on posts like that and those idiots exist there too.

You absolutely do lol. If there’s a shooting in Vegas, and you’re posting “Denver strong” under a post about it, you will get pushback as you should lol.

Doubtful, but even if you do it would not be anywhere in the same league with the reaction people get to saying that all lives matter.

I would agree with a lot of this. Seems like both sides are seeing an extremely complicated and nuanced matter in complete black and white. Which is moronic.

Show me an instance of this happening.

Of what happening?

Had Mitchell changed to wearing another team's uniform, a comparison to that team would be apt. As it is, just saying "we're only just as terrible as anyone else" doesn't really detract from how terrible we are, and I find Mitchell's response of disgust appropriate.

Doubtful, but even if you do it would not be anywhere in the same league with the reaction people get to saying that all lives matter.

That's because there's much less of a history and after effects regarding the enslavement of people from Boston or with breast cancer. The reaction is also dependent upon this history.

Call me what you want #All lives matter

dumbass

You are entitled to your opinion
In this very thread someone posted all lives matter and the worst thing that happened was someone called him a dumbass which is what I would do if someone said Chicago strong in response to Boston strong or said colon cancer awareness in response to breast cancer awareness.
