nikkas want to be Cheetahs over monkeys .
I said your analogy was trashI don't know why you're arguing against me..when this is exact thing I've been saying.... that he was unaware of the cultural significance of the term monkey.
How y'all could think otherwise is ignorant to say the least...
Its the same when Cousins was offered by the Chinese New Year.
I said your analogy was trash
No its not.. how a black man can call the president a nikka and that be okay... But get offened Steve Adams not knowingly calling someone monkey to describe their speed is nonsensical..
This whole story is bunch of misplaced outrage..
Bottom line the premise of this thread that Steven Adams intended to offend and that your a c00n if you route for him is ignorant..
It wasn't okay with us and how would you know if it's okay with us? Don't assume white liberalism and black nationalism are equal, the shyt you see on tv doesn't reflect the realities of the black community.
Like this, we cannot control any outrage, white liberals will silence and this and attempt to speak for blacks.
You want context there's home movies of Cosell calling his own children and grandchildren little monkeys along with white athletes his firing had much to do about the politics at ABC Sports than it was him saying monkey.They're Americans and by far aware by their years here what the connotstions bore. But context isn't allowed here is it?
Yall keep saying he's foreign he described them based on how he sees them monkeys.
Plain and simple. The only animal associated with quickness everyone knows are cheetahs. So why use monkeys..... I doubt an African, carribean would have said monkey. Lol white people.
Or even in other sports you never hear white people calling each other monkeys. Dude is white and ignorant what's new? Lol
worst post in the thread. Sit down.......Funny how when it's something perceived as a slight to blacks, folks want black people to get over it. But Jewish folks jump on any iota of perceived disrespect instantly, and you rarely hear a word about anyone making a mountain out of a molehill.
...and according to some of y'all only one of the splash brothers is black... and that one's blackness is like a queen of spades possible on thecoli.com. So if it's a slight, I guess it's not a full slight.
I'll wait.
He called another black man a niqqa after speaking on his the said mans blackness as President meant to people.No its not.. how a black man can call the president a nikka and that be okay... But get offened Steve Adams not knowingly calling someone monkey to describe their speed is nonsensical..
This whole story is bunch of misplaced outrage..
Bottom line the premise of this thread that Steven Adams intended to offend and that your a c00n if you route for him is ignorant..
Reach.
I had this african dude call me a monkey cuz I was locking his ass up on Defense in basketball.
I was sending his shyt.
He didn't understand that his shot started at his stomach so I would just jump everytime and wait for that shot to form.
Poor guy.
To me it's a compliment .
Long arms + hops + energy + speed = monkey
