They wanna talk about #yellowlivesmatter but how can that be taken seriously until they deal with all this #yellowonyellow crime?

Really, you made anything in life apolitical? That’s privilege for ya.

Man...what a weird ass correlation to make.

That’s bullshit. That same club let the Ohio State football coach in. #doublestandards

Still rather watch the highest level basketball skills than a bulldozer doing what a bulldozer does.

I declare Shaq kinda a dick.

If anything, it was the Big 2 and featuring Ray Allen. That was obvious at the time. Your take is revisionist history.

And yet I’d still feel more comfortable if Ranadive/Divac were the ones with the nuclear codes.

It makes me sad that a human being came up with that take. Let us all stand the fuck down and shut the fuck up the next time the police kill a person of Color so we can avoid another Daniel Webster incident. Is that your logic?

Interesting, so every play is a foul according to that. Nothing specific about the elbow. The way I’ve always seen it, that gets called when the shot is clearly affected, which Butler’s did not appear to be. Has a pass interference in football type feel to it. You can act like unwritten rules in sports are not rules…

Real black and white world you live in there...out of curiosity, what exactly does the rule say regarding where on the body any touch at all=foul?

Okay, I lose. Hadn’t seen that. Still, that minimal amount of contact is not called a foul the majority of the time and certainly never seen it called in that situation to switch the winner and loser. That ref doesn’t have some sort of super vision and still frame technology in his brain. You know that call was made…

Countercountercounterpoint: no freeze frame shows that and I’m yet to hear any NBA commentator agree with you, including Bulls fans. It’s you and Jimmy Butler on an island. What happens next on the island?? Story continues!

Counterpoints: 1) if you were trying to get the Bulls the win, but not look guilty of wrongdoing, you wouldn’t call the foul unless you had to. 2) You can’t fucking call that foul right there.

Very telling indeed. What a disaster that I wouldn’t give a rich White man the benefit of the doubt when he exercises control over a Black man. Rich White men just can’t get a break....the thing is, once again, I never said he was a racist, per se. But his actions still perpetuate the racist structure of this country.

I do get to interpret what it means when used as a tool of oppression, which is the history of racism in this country. But I don’t know why I would explain it to an asshole like you. 9 times out of 10 when someone denies something affecting marginalized communities is racist, they’re a passively racist White dude…

You make good points, but I think this comes down to a fundamental difference in the defining of racism. If you participate and benefit from a White Supremacist system without acknowledging it, have mostly non-White people under your control, and attempt to silence one when he criticizes you...given the history of…

Oppressed white male alert.

My point wasn’t that slave owners didn’t speak in overtly racist terms. It was that their actions toward black people can be judged as such whether they said how superior they felt or not. And so can Dolan’s mentality be judged based on his treatment of black people he has power over.

By the same logic, nothing, including the owning of slaves, would be considered racist so long as the slave owner didn’t explicitly say the power dynamic of the relationship was based on race.
