Kobe Bryant Was Not Impressed by the Miami Heat’s Trayvon Martin Protest
- Status
These international nikkas is something else
Now we can see who are the white members of LWO 
. Joking aside, this is indefensible......Kobe (who recently jumped on the social media bandwagon himself) was not trying to make a stand against faux protesters and militants. He is actually insulting those that did take action in a situation that he obviously knows nothing about.

might have to change my avi off this one. Bean on some sucka shyt
How?
Kobe is a snob off the court. Always has been, always will be.
If I knew Kobe personally, I'd probably hate em or snuff em
He's a GAWD on the courts though and we should have all BEEN came to that conclusion.
Off the court, Kobe's a lame, arrogant, cocky, snobbish rich man
On the court, he's excellent. An amazing basketball player blessed with an abundance of skill
He's Carlton with great basketball talents
nikka, how you gone play Carlton like that. When Will got shot, Carlton was ready to busy his gun.
You really think
bustin his heat for another black man.

Lebron and Wade are also worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and yet they were able to support the Trayvon Martin cause and the collective consciousness of black america, while Kobe chose to occupy a different space on the issue. You're twisting yourself in a pretzel trying to create your own reality here.

The Cleveland Cavaliers’ Ira Newble recently wrote an open letter criticizing China’s role in the Darfur genocide, urging fellow basketball players to pressure China to change its policy ahead of the 2008 Summer Olympics. “China cannot be a legitimate host to the premier international event in the sporting world – the Summer Olympic Games – while it remains complicit in the terrible suffering and destruction that continues to this day,” the letter stated.
While most of Newble’s teammates signed the letter, only two did not: Damon Jones andLeBron James. James, one of the NBA’s most recognizable faces, is a perennial all-star and was named a tri-captain of the 2006 USA World Championship Team. In an op-ed in today’s Christian Science Monitor, NYU history professor Jonathan Zimmerman explains the dynamics behind Jones and James’s decision:
James said he didn’t have enough information about the issue to take a stand. Mr. Jones wouldn’t comment. We can choose to take them at their word, of course — or we can follow the money. Jones has an endorsement contract with an up-and-coming Chinese shoe and apparel company. James has a $90 million deal with Nike, which has huge business interests in China. [...]
Ironically, LeBron James has not decided whether he will compete in Beijing. But in the real battle, over Darfur, James has elected to stay on the sidelines. That’s his right, of course. And the rest of us have the right to call his behavior what it is.
China is Sudan’s largest trading partner. Brookings scholar Roberta Cohen wrote, “Were China to use even a small part of its leverage to call Sudan to account, it would go a long way toward saving lives in Sudan.”
In July 2005, the Center for American Progress Action Fund teamed up with the Genocide Intervention Fund to call citizens to “be a witness” of the genocide and ask major television networks to report on the massacre. James now appears in Nike advertisements calling others to be a witness… of his basketball stardom.
NOT defending what Kobe said tho, but these NBA players are not who we should be looking to for social issues.

Whoa, glad Ali or Jim Brown didn't think like this.
nikka, how you gone play Carlton like that. When Will got shot, Carlton was ready to busy his gun.
You really think
Kobe'll give the "facts" about what really happened
Making fun of the black brute stereotype? White face?
What's c00nish about it again?
Try caping for Tobe a little harder
That's what you got from that?
STFU your members have been making excuses.throughout the whole thread. The Lebron cover was embarrassing. It does not make what Koonbe said less disgusting

A teenage boy was killed by a man who not only followed him without the authority to do so, but actually disregarded police commands to stay in the vehicle. Then the police decide not to even investigate properly or charge this man without massive social pressure. I can maybe understand saying something like this early on but the facts have been out there.
What other facts are there?
