So no talk about Jeremy Lin crying racism?

[pete clemenza]

I can't believe some of y'all didn't find it to be strange to show random Asian people in the crowd every time Lin scored or did something good.

They could've been Japanese, they could've been Vietnamese, they could've been Korean....it doesn't matter, they in teh crowd and they look like him, soooo just cut the camera to them.

I guess I'm alone in finding that to be somewhat insulting.

Should they show a random black person in the crowd everytime Leandro Barbosa or Nene scores? Then show a white person when Anderson Varejao scores....

Yeah that sh*t was corny and wack as f*ck when the networks and cameras did that. But on a much bigger stage- they did flood the hood with cameras when Obama first got elected as well four years ago

This chink in armor crying about race when his yellow ass skin the reason for 99.9% of his wealth and fame

I respect what are saying breh. My parents are immigrants too, but I'm not going to act like it would have been easier if they came before the Civil Rights era. In fact, HARD WORK would have gotten them nowhere back then because they are black.

see guys like who you quoted are why minorities and even poor white people are all divided . To try and imply that he's more hardworking than the people in the civil rights era ?
Go read a history book then come back to discuss this this is why we have props focusing on stuff like abortions and gay marriage instead of finding representation to better serve them .

I hate he because he's a garbage ass basketball player

 

[verbaltelekinesis]

From reading this thread, it's either some poster that I didn't know were white or it's quite a few white washed negro's in the coli. I can't even express the frustration of seeing so many capes put on about this, you sound just like white people when they talk about "racism".

You're reaching with that. I just went back and read what that dude wrote, he stated his fam had to work immensely to get ahead, no where did he imply that he was more hardworking than the people who struggled during the Civil Rights Era.

That's what I exactly read myself.

He has a point about when he mentions people not wanting to be embarrassed by an Asian kid. You're bullshyttin' if you disagree...

Lin is going to torch the Knicks.

have you seen the Knicks play ? Maybe harden but Lin idk bout that

pretty much if he was a black dude everybody would of been like but since he Asian everybody going to say stop crying

I didn't realize racism stopped being a issue for black players hot damn Obama you did it

Now if Lin had said this when certain media outlets were slick with there headlines (you know what I'm talking about) then he would have been dead on and would have had my full support. Because then it was people's closet bigotry (or not, depending on you point of view) trying to diminish his out of nowhere accomplishments for no other reason than his race.

Except now, it's somewhat expected, to me he is getting lukewarm bigotry if any and there are more arguments for it due to his contract and slow start.

Exactly what I'm saying . This is a bad time to bring this up when he's struggling . it looks like he's saying the black players are racist or something it's just not a good look

To me it just sounds like he's starting to feel the pressure of not Linving up to the hype.

 

[Grifter]

Was the thread on here or SOHH when he went to Houston and showing how many racist dumbasses were trying to shyt on him on twitter?

 

[50CentStan]

Dude just flat out sucks, the rockets might have gave him the most linsane deal in sports history. I hate self privileged motherfukkers like Lin, going to Harvard wasn't enough, then getting into the Nba wasnt enough, being a starter wasn't enough, nah I want to rip a franchise off for $25 milli then I'm good. the rockets shoulda went with Delonte west.
