Derrick Rose wearing "I Can't Breathe" t-shirt

[Box Cutta]

What about all the black on black crime in Chicago and around the US? Why doesn't any player wear a token shirt about that?

Duncan and Bulls stars Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah stay in close contact, with all of them recognizing the anarchy overtaking the city.

‘‘Derrick and Joakim are two young men I have extreme respect for beyond their court skills,’’ Duncan said. ‘‘They both have stepped up and asked to do more.’’

That includes summer programs, youth games, even ads that might tell young Chicagoans that shooting isn’t good, that not snitching leads nowhere.

As I suspected, Rose is already thinking of ways to help.

"We've all been sitting down trying to come up with something," said Hamlin, 39, who is an assistant basketball coach at Simeon Career Academy. "All of us have been trying to put our heads together and come up with something, because it's getting bad. It's getting bad. It's been a topic of a lot of our conversations."

Rose made a conscious effort to show up, unbilled, at Isiah Thomas and Father Michael Pfleger's Peace Tournament on Saturday. Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson also came. Rose's presence was a big thing.

Try again.

A Chicago Bulls point guard has offered to help pay for the funeral of a 6-month-old girl who was fatally shot in Chicago on Monday, according to reports.

Derrick Rose has come forward to cover part of the services for Jonylah Watkins, the infant who was struck five times along with her father as he changed her diaper in the Woodlawn neighborhood on the South Side, CBS Chicago reported.

I know you're a 1995 style troll poster so this isn't even necessarily directed at you, really geared more towards anyone trying to bring that "what about black on black crime" bullshyt. There is probably more, probably things that don't even get reported. These are just things I've remembered from before or just found during a quick search.

Two of the most bytch made posts Ive seen in a while. The automatic assumption that a person isn't doing anything for the community, and posting about it before doing the most basic google search is disgusting. I hope these negs find you well.

D-Rose and at those bigots that's mad at his shirt. But it's fine for them to wear their confederate flag and don't tread on me t-shirts tho right.

These fools are straight idiots and always go for the same BS statements whenever black folks make a stand for their people.

[mrken12]

This c00n as fukker right here smh. Damn you a bytch nikka

And he has the nerve to say he's living the life IN EUROPE.

 

[mrken12]

Reading those comments pissed me the fukk off.

People really think and have these type of feelings?! The United States is fukked up as a society and we have too many entitled and self righteous a$$holes that think their shyt doesn't stink

The comments are disgusting. It makes me lose all empathy for any and all bad things that happen to white people.

D rose all these athletes sitting talking about it but he made a statement with that shirt. The clippers could learn something from him

 

[THE MACHINE]

Its obvious that any reporter mad about D. Rose not answering questions had an agenda to deflect and try to poke holes in his protest. You already know why he did it.

Cant get in there to ask about black on black crime or try to make it look like all blacks are against all authority

It's a shame more people spoke about D. Rose t-shirt then him letting Chef Curry cook him last night. And I like D. Rose, but DAMN I was pissed at him last night. I wanted the 2010-2011 D. Rose to show up.

Curry shot 5-16 and scored like 7 points in the final 2 minutes off free throws and a turnover. Stop looking at box scores and watch games.
