Boogie makes Kings remove Chinese New Year"Year of the Monkey" shirts because of Black History Month

[George's Dilemma]

Who cares if you're not white? You certainly are taking on their thinking with this new age thought process of overlooking any and everything. Doesn't change the fact that you just put on a corny false equivalence display of grabbing for any monkey reference and applying it here.

I agree that this was a reach by Boogie. I'm just glad an athlete has that level of concern.

So you agree it was a reach then by Boogie? I'd take it a step further and say it was a gross false equivalence on his part. I'd also say my thinking being in harmony with cacs on overlooking everything is quite the opposite. My thinking on this matter is not caring what they think, and if they're ignorant enough to see a humorous connection between monkeys associated with Chinese culture and Black History month, that's on them. Myself personally, I'm not so sensitive that I'm going to play into something that retarded. This was definitely something to be overlooked because there was nothing to see unless one forces himself to see something that isn't there. It's all really humorous to me TBH.

Now don't mind me, I'm going to listen to every Sean P album except Monkey Bars, because during the month of February it makes one a c00n to listen to that project. Every other month of the year is fine. RIP Sean P!!!

Whites exposing themseleves in this thread big time.
No matter how you cut it, the optics of this move were terrible and Cousins actually saved the Kings a huge PR nightmare, by just having a opinon that a significant size of the NBA's audience would have that the guys on management probably overlooked.

So you think Boogie did this caring what they think and not what blacks would think with BHM coming up?

Don't care if it's petty. A white person can say they feel afraid just for a black man walking across the street from them and cops go ape shyt. Shout out to Boogie for flexing and letting nikkas know we watching

 

[Kane]

This is a bit of an overreaction but it's whatever.

I don't really understand why nikkas are so mad about this

Whose everybody?

Most of us in here think it's a reach.

 

[Luke Cage]

You're only allowed to be offended if you have a white persons permission.

Is the general consensus I'm getting from some of you.

Harden the GOAT



@Gil Scott-Heroin ain't gonna like dis

 

[Lord Beasley]

When soccer fans in Europe throw bananas at black players it's only because they think he's hungry
Black people aren't called monkeys
Giving away a monkey tshirt on the FIRST DAY of black history month isn't insulting or insensitive in the slightest

These actions are overtly racist in nature. One star post

The rockets have a monkey hat this year too, dont see no faux-outrage about that shyt. Ignorance perpetuates ignorance

yeah. What is your point?

 

[PS5 Pro]

Long ass title aside what y'all think about the move?

This just goes to show how White Supremacy has damaged the minds of those who have been oppressed
To see a monkey on a shirt and then associate that with YOURSELF is exactly what the racist people who used such tactics want you to think. Black people didn't look at themselves as apes, that is what was used as a racial slur because of skin color

So why reinforce it by acting like there is a hint of truth to it?

TO all those saying "Good for you DeMarco" I have to say

If I wear a Ritz shirt am I taking subliminals at the white man?

 

[Brief Keef]

Fukk the Chinese history month, ain't no black man wearing a damn monkey on his shirt.

nikkas still wearing bape

 

[We Ready]

Equate your own race to monkeys brehs

 

[STAN JONES]

I dont think this was racist or intentional(you never really know with these people tho ) but it was most definitely ignorant and insensitive to expect 2 teams full of black players to play a game on the 1st day of BHM with the entire crown(mostly white) wearing shirts with monkeys on them

The more I think about it the more i think it was an intentional troll
