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

[mrken12]

Chinese New Year doesn't officially start until February 8th. Why bring out the monkey shirts on Feb 1st, the first day of black history month

People mentioned that they would be on a long road trip early in the month but they still could have waited.

Why are you so outraged that some black people found it offensive?

Beats me.

Black people didn't start this comparison tho

Are you so weak minded that if someone says such a thing, you act in a manner that makes it appear like you're trying to cover up that truth?
I mean, do you Ronnie baby But I have to tell ya. You would make one hell of a shoe shine boy

Spoiler

That's right

Now go home and get your fukkin shine box

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

In context, you could be onto something. Its not impossible. The question then becomes what exactly was the plan?
To give the entire area those shirts like it was a playoff game? (Do they do that for regular season games )
I'm about to reread the story, I'll edit if need be...

Let me dumb it down for you...

You are gonna let cracka ass crackaz tell you what to THINK

(In a longer more thought out form)

You are gonna let some cracky ass crackaz.. tell you what to think... about yourself

(A lightly more intelligence infused version)

You gonna let some crick-crack-Cacacac's determine for you that a monkey is the symbol for black people?
Well then, you have the mentality of a mental slave. You might as well shine shoes
The notion that black history is something you talk about for a month is far more insulting, but what do I know?
I'm just a darn blasted nigruh

Nothing to link. MLK day games. Constant promos. Teams all over the league wearing tshirts. Announcers celebrating black pioneers of the sport etc. what does the Nfl or NHL do for BHM?

That's what the players should be asking instead of being offended by chinese new years.

 

[Made Myself A Boss]

This was ignorant imo

Charlamagne is 100% on point right here

I bet you're way more upset about the shirts getting removed than the people who sponsored the promotion. Get over it. And we've already explained the racist history behind monkey imagery and black people. Unless you want to keep being naive and ignore the multiple instances of white people throwing bananas at black soccer players.

You didn't need to explain the racist history behind monkey imagery & black people, that was already understood before this incident occurred. What I'm not going to do is give Cousins a pass for being culturally ignorant because he misinterpreted the promotion. As I've said before the Chinese New Year (this yr happens to be the monkey) has NOTHING to do with black people.

And why are you comparing a celebration of Chinese culture to a hyper racist atmosphere in European soccer matches? Y'all are going out of your way to make what the Kings did seem racist to black people. And If you want to be offended by every perceived slight that you see everyday then do you breh, but spare me this faux militant bullshyt that Cousins is somehow "woke" because he not only misinterpreted, but grossly overreacted to a cultural celebration for the Chinese

It is kinda suspect to have the monkey shirts on the first day of black history month. Coulda given them out at the previous game or the one after.

This.

I am literally at awe reading this thread. The stupidity of americans has no end.

A chinese new years monkey has magically offended you. This is insane.

ridiculous. He's the one associating random monkeys with black people, and y'all applaud him

You both sound really dumb..

 

[The Last Pimp of Hyrule]

This nikka is stupid as fukk.

 

[Made Myself A Boss]

End of the day those shirts will be handed out(in the month of Feburary) and it's going to be a much more festive atmosphere now that more attention has been brought to it.. .

Sometimes nikkas just need to learn to keep their mouth shut.. The world doesn't revolve around African Americans

Got into a big argument at work about this yesterday.

I swear people just can't comprehend common sense.
