Imagine a think-piece about how certain athletes have attitude problems and are “thugs” slowly simmering in the reporter’s brain.

Not to mention Yale is a top 20 rebounding team. Question was basically, “why did those white guys get more rebounds than you black guys?”

No, the white vs. black guys was definitely involved in that loaded question. That’s what makes his smart-ass comment so brilliant, since the reporter is trying to point out the geeks beat the jocks, only to be out-geeked

Exactly. Perfect answer for a stupid-ass question.

I’m going to be honest- those holidays have not been instituted into our culture in the way St.Patrick’s day has. You cannot at all compare those to this holiday. Do they sell “Happy Kwanzaa” T-shirts for a month straight at Walgreens, have Kwanzaa Sales at Sears, Juneteenth episodes on Disney Channel or have plastic…

Give that man a job! Fuck that was great and I love the shade thrown at the loser sports “journalists” asking literally the dumbest questions ever expecting the player to give an interesting response to a dull query.

In addition to being a terrible, condescending question, it’s also a deeply stupid one that shows the reporter doesn’t understand how basketball works. Baylor got outrebounded because defensive rebounds are easier than offensive ones, and Baylor missed way more shots. Baylor rebounded better than Yale on a percentage…

That reporter, man. Imagine being a grown-ass man, hectoring a kid who just got upset in March Madness and using that bogus, scolding, condescending tone. Then imagine lowering your head into a toilet so I never have to listen to you again.

That look on his face! That thin veil of contempt! He’d be a Best Supporting Actor nomination lock if he was white.

This guy is my new favorite player.

No way, I would 100% prefer a dispensary. The people there are more knowledgeable, the product is better, there are other forms of it.

People buy basil.

because people are lazy? if we use that logic there would be no farmers markets or breweries or clothing stores or hair salons or a million other things

There are four states where recreational weed is fully legal. All four of those states are less than 5% black. I’m sure that’s some sort of crazy coincidence.

———————-> continuing systemic racism that is the bread and butter of white wealth.

Thsi perfectly illustrates my ire for this topic. Name one African Holiday we celebrate publicly throughout the US. I don’t get to see pins saying “Kiss me, I’m Black!” “Everyone’s got a little African in them!” and wearing all one color (oh god I can’t even imagine what color beer they would make). it doesn’t happen…

This is why I don’t find it so progressive and cool that tv shows and movies are showing characters smoking weed as innocuous and a cool thing that lots of totally normal people do. It’s only characterized that way for white characters. Now we are supposed to just pretend that it’s cool for them to smoke when they…

As Chris Rock said, “only the white man can profit from pain.” Tabacco kills millions each year, but since white people make the money, that’s OK. “It’s alright, because it’s all white.” Weed kills almost no one, but since it (used to be) brown and black people making the money, it was illegal.

Not even a little.

Politicians have a found a way to decriminalize marijuana sales while still sending lots of Black people to jail for drug crimes? Who would have guessed!
