If it wasnt for those people--you or I would not be here. It's why I began to withdraw myself from the conversation because I knew what game was being played here. I've always found it amusing that certain Caucasians will try to make the case that racism is dead when an overwhelming majority of 48 million Black Americans and a similarly large portion of Hispanic Americans (aka a third of the ****ing population) would vehemently disagree. Racism (institutional or otherwise) is dead, yet they're effectively telling us that Black and Brown people en masse don't know what the **** we're talking about. That the lives we live and how we have come to understand them are all incorrect and that they, as a white people, will inform us of what is in fact going on in our own lives. And no matter how much evidence that we submit to back our claims about the injustices faced, it can all be negated because they feel they know better or know a Black guy that may be a "best friend". But racism is dead, man. |

If it wasnt for those people--you or I would not be here. Someone that is impartial and genuinely concerned with race issues or fixing them. The fact that you feel you are entitled to "inform" the overwhelming majority of 48 million Black Americans and similar significant portion of Hispanic Americans about their life....and not see how that thinking in itself is proof of racism is ironic to say the least. The **** would you know about what I or anyone like me deals with? Because you have know a Black guy that you think is your friend? |

If it wasnt for those people--you or I would not be here. Right. I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm just angry as a Black man. An "angry Black man", I guess. And you are just an impartial juror that is someone genuinely concerned with race issues and how to fix them. |

He simply picked the wrong platform and atleast 75%++++ of this country will agree with me--and in a democracy--thats an overwhelming number. You can say whatever--but you are simply offending a huge majority--not smart. RIP Crushalot😞

If it wasnt for those people--you or I would not be here. The message he was sending isn't one that people want to receive. Crying over it being the national anthem was the perfect cop out. There are many who saw him exercise the freedom and rights that blood was shed for. But at the end of the day if he is going to be black balled and demonized for it then there isn't that much difference then dictatorship. Well other then getting murdered. Message that was sent was you are not allowed to speak out against a majority white narrative. https://vote.nba.com/en Vote for your Knicks.
