I’m just over the whole hop on the social activism wave when it’s trendy after a few months the post dry up and everything back to normal. I need to see action outside a few post on social media. I want you put charter schools in the inner city, I want you to start up tuition fund for blacks. Take some black people off the street who want to learn and trained them up, get high paying jobs. Build up the communities it’s time for real change enough social media barking. I get why people get excited when they see all the pro black stuff on social media and people waking up and learning. I’m with all and proud people are waking, wanting to learning the real black history not the whitewash stuff they teach public schools. I get happy seeing people uncover black history. But like I said I seen this movie too many times with Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Tamar Rice & ETC. Nothing changes I just seen an unarmed black man get on the TV again and I’m 100% sure I’m see another one any day now. I don’t know where y’all got this narrative that I’m upset because I want basketball back. I barely watch TV as it is. I just work, read books, work out and spend time with my family. I don’t care about the NBA coming back. But I understand the platform the NBA can provide to these players to keep bring to the cause. One thing I did learn from all the prior situation dealing with racial tension is never let the opposers forget what they did. If the NBA and the players can use their platform to keep reminding people who shield themselves and claim racism don’t exist. I’m all for it, every game I want them to remind the world we need justice for Breonna Taylor, we need justice for George Floyd, we need justice for Ahmaud Arbery. Football is king and NFL and College Football take up most of the attention. So the whole distraction argument is flawed. It’s not a distraction we can chew gum and walk at the same time. That’s what I always remind people who bring up black on black crime we can focus on two things at once, it’s not hard.
