So that makes it ok to riot and loot? How many of their own did they hurt? How many of those businesses closed permanently? I’m not here to attack, but I will not be made to feel bad about the race I was born into. These millionaires have a platform because as an audience, we gave it to them. They are hurting race relations more than helping because of the way they are doing things. Forcing opinions on others typically becomes a huge turn off. I can’t argue that they don’t have that right. This country was founded on such liberties but its not the way to go about it. If you think I’m white then maybe you need to check yourself. Disclaimer, have not mentioned my race. This will hurt communities of minorities more than help.

That makes it better

It's not a racist thing, yet BLM.....

The entire "movement" is based on false narratives driven by the leftist media as fact. The athletes probe they have next to no education when they speak on the matter.

Blacks are SLAUGHTERING fellow blacks, indiscriminately, by the hundreds every month in major Democratic cities and NOT ONE PEEP from BLM, NAACP, SPJC, Lebron,Jesse, Al, CNN, MSNPC, WP, NYT, etc.....nothing. Blacks are WAY more likely to be killed by fellow blacks than whites by a huge factor.. Apparently black lives only matter if a white guys shoots them, otherwise....meh.. Where are the marches down the Miracle Mile, Bellona Ave, etc....demanding justice for black lives that are being ruined .....by black on black violence? Is it too much to ask to just be honest about the true nature of the situation

yep....correct. He was only charged with "regular" rape and assault. Feel better now?

Every time I read a thread involving race, I’m more and more thankful I don’t and will never live in WV again. Lots of racists patrolling this board/state.

Please explain why anyone should give a single **** about a false narrative, disproven by numbers and facts, being pushed as fact by the media should be taken seriously?

I would say most states are racist........aka people are racist. This goes both ways.

Right, because racism has never existed anywhere else.

Sounds like the problem might actually be you.

Thats shootings.... been other killings too.... i think that artcle says 25 in 2019.... and those are the one reported. As the article says they actually quit keeping the stats because they are unreliable. Im not trying to defend it. Just saying it doesnt bother me that athletes are taking a stance. I was just saying that people like to use fake data to try and say others use fake data. But nothing says fake information more than 2020....

^^^this is how you answer a post(s) that you have no good answer for^^^

Call names, make false accusations, be a victim, and deflect. It's in their playbook

So is all the outrage in the protests and the athletes stances because people dont believe there is racism going on or is it because people dont want to hear about the racism going on. Just curious why everyone gets so mad??
You mean, why people get so mad they torch cities and neighborhoods?

Silver was interviewed on ESPN and said while the league remains committed to racial equality and social justice, they will likely remove images from courts and jerseys and go back to normal. He said he understands that fans who may agree with the intent simply want to watch basketball. I think the ratings in the finals being down by 70% had something to do with the NBA's reassessment. I don't watch the NBA anyway, but my guess is that some fans will return but I also believe they have lost some fans forever.

Maybe you haven’t been yelled out to denounce your white privilege by a mob. It has an affect, in this case, the opposite of the one they wanted. I’m openly opposing BLM now.

If white privilege means growing up in a trailer, with a single working mother in which you get shot at by an on again off again boyfriend.. then sign me up baby.

Funny since Missouri is one of the most racist states I've ever visited.

I don't think Trump will be reelected....if Biden wins....all the racism talk will disappear. Proibably time for this thread to be moved.
Yes and most of the snowflake nation didn't think it would happen the first time and yet...here we are.

I think it has more to do with the All whites are bad and all minorities are good agenda. I wish someone could tell me why we have to accept that every white is bad because you were born white? I don't think that does anything to help race relations in America. That being said, I don't think the left has any interest in solving race relations in America. It is their go to issue every election cycle.

I think there is racism. I don’t agree that it’s systemic. I also disagree with the notion of white privilege, white oppressors, and any other form of racism which lumps all of us into one group. I find it insulting to use the deaths of criminals who were resisting arrest as martyrs. Blake literally raped a young girl and had a knife after resisting and assaulting an officer. Floyd had previously pistol whipped a pregnant woman and OD’d on fentanyl. Taylor’s boyfriend fired on police, she’s dead because of him. The jackass in ATL that fell asleep in the Wendy’s who resisted and assaulted an officer? All of them have something in common and not a fvcking thing has to do with racism.

People are being used in an election year, period. We all are equal, we’re all Americans. There are socioeconomic disparities, and there always will be. Make better choices make the hard choices and climb out of the trailer park. I know far too many that have through hard work. That’s the discriminator.
Frankly I agree with you on a lot of things, but you being a cuck when it comes to "White racism" is laughable. Next time you are in a large city walk down the streets as a white man or even worse a white women let me know how that goes.

The NBA was headed in the wrong direction prior to the political BS. It may have rendered itself totally irrelevant for years to come from the self inflicted bullet to the foot, time will tell. No sympathy whatsoever from a large percentage of sports fans.

First.....stopped watching Pro sports entirely.....with Princess James as your spokesperson what exactly does the National Bigot Association expect “open arm across America”
