This is a stupid question but I really can't understanding why black celebs are scared to say this is a race issue. I mean wtf? Is there something I'm missing?
scary ass muthafukkas
dont be afraid to speak your mind and how you truly feel about Amerikkka
these white folks ALREADY hate you!
saying that you tight about brothers getting killed unarmed while white criminals getting bear hugged isnt gonna make them hate you less :deadmanny:

social network the best thing to happen for white people
why I cant fukk with twitters and all that shyt

Let's be honest, these athletes have a platform that they truthfully don't want. Muhammad Ali and Jim Brown aren't walking through that door to help make a difference with said platform and be leaders, political statements in 2014 come in the form of t shirts and hashtags, that's just the reality of it.

Kobe is taking a stand and I like it, I'd wish he'd speak more about the police brutality and how it's a cops vs blacks thing but if he wants to go the it's deeper than race then okay better than nothing because atleast people will listen to him. Regardless if Lebron is doing it to me trendy or Kobe is doing it to deflect from past activism missteps they are speaking on the matter, this is as good as it's going to get.

I agree with this 100%. The times dictate the athletes not the other way around. These guys are going to follow the movement not lead it. Thats why we are seeing more athletes expressing themselves more over this, because this issue reached the mainstream further than any other social issue in recent memory.

Obama has actually said the same thing before. The president isn't going to lead any movement but he will respond to popular opinion. Its the nature of the beast...

Y'all heard on SAS on first take today?
I've been avoiding him for the past couple of months, but foolishly pulled up a clip on my phone out of morbid curiosity...

I have to totally wash my hands of him and not even bother with the criticism or "c00n" talk anymore...Dude is clearly presenting a scripted agenda for pay..He's not even a c00n.. He's a hustler...

The question was about Kobe and the Lakers social protests...


He spent 7 minutes chastising Black people for a comment that Doug Gottlieb made about Kobe on twitter...Went on and on about how Black folks resent educated, well spoken successful Black people...

:mindblown:

I unfollowed and unsubscribed from Stephen A and Charlamagne the God on all social media platforms...Because it's clear they just aren't Uncle Toms or c00ns...What they are doing is far more malicious and sinister..They are agents of white supremacy for profit..

A "c00n" is just miseducated and can be reformed...These brothers KNOW better...But don't see any capital gain in speaking the truth..

"I try to kinda distance myself from [social issues]," but this is one where I kinda really paid attention and saw what was going on," Williams said. "I mean, you can see the [Garner] video and you know what happened. It's not one of those things where people are saying this and the cops are saying that. It's there for you to see. You just feel bad that a man lost his life because of that."



@NYC Rebel I bet a lot of athletes are like that in the bolded.
