Kobe Bryant Was Not Impressed by the Miami Heat’s Trayvon Martin Protest

[Danny Up]

It was a kid breh.


An unarmed kid was murdered because he was walking in a neighborhood "he shouldnt have been". We cant use the "nikkas die everyday b" slogan on this one

Lmao! This shyt really happens everyday in the black community. The murder is usually another black male, but that's all good right?

 

[Easy-E]

Though, I really believe this is a another case of building a huge narrative off of a small quote (out of context, also, he didn't say he wasn't impressed), I understand how it comes off

I gotta read the whole article, doe

You paid to post on a website. Who is really smoking crack? So me the proof that George Zimmerman killed Trayvon because he was a negroid. Prove to me that Trayvon was a good kid. I'll wait

I can afford misc. expenses, crack addicts can't

I think some of you are missing the point and forgetting what happened. Besides the horrendous murder of a teen, what really made the story become a Civil Rights story was that the police fukkED up and didn't even try to properly investigate the situation. It took 45 days for the man to be charged after PUBLIC outrage and pleas. It was a time that celebrities shining light on the situation helped bring attention to the matter.

To make it clear, I'm not defending Kobe on this one, it's a stupid statement. but I'm pointing out that we shouldn't be looking at these athletes and entertainers for the stance they do or don't take on social issues. I'm disgusted when I watch NBA games with adds for the Navy all up in it or commentators/players supporting the troops bombing kids in Iraq and Afghanistan. But I don't take their opinions seriously.

Now, the point is, what did other Black celebrities/leaders REALLY do for Martin's family? Did someone pay for legal fees? Stage a boycott? Refuse to play? Anyone? Bringing attention to the matter was great, but in the end what did it change? Nothing, like those teenagers during the KONY 2012 bs a couple years back...

I donated to justice for trayvon, I've done volunteer work at the Boys & Girls club many times over, I coached a little girls (BLACK) basketball squad for free 2 summers ago, and much more what have you done?

This is what I'm talking about, but how many celebrities with far more means than you have donated?

and this nikka kobe supposed to be around a true gawd like kareem but has no idea whats going on in the world

u know why kobe said it?? because he's going the business route and dont want to hurt your crowd..

money over your own.. sad thing is hes not the only one

 

[prophecypro]

Well what are those facts we dont know about then Kobe? He's gotta expand his point or hope that writer misquoted him, otherwise he's looking real dikkish and salty at the Heat winning titles right now, enough to say some flagrant shyt like this

Most celebrities and rich people in general are sacks of shyt only concerned with themselves. I am what you'd call a bleeding heart, if I had more I'd give more.

False equivalence?

LEbron represents Germans?

 

[USSInsiders]

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.

Yay, LeBron he sure showed'em by dressing up in hoodies. What a hero

 

[acbjr22]

Kobe been a bytch! This ain't nothing new. Fake ass p*ssy boi! Never respected dude and I never will

 

[Malcolmxxx_23]

Yay, LeBron he sure showed'em by dressing up in hoodies. What a hero

Okay well make another hoodies

 

[USSInsiders]

He was tricked by the Devil, many of our ancestors fell for their devious ploys

On the flipside, Kobe is saying he doesn't care if you're an unarmed black man and a white man guns you down, he needs to see the facts Defend Italian c00ns, brehs.

The case wasn't that simple. If it was, it would've been open and shut. Either way, he should've gotten manslaughter but he didn't.
