Why does that warrant a long thread?
because this is a forum where people discuss the NBA and he is an NBA all star with future multi time MVP potential and he just got suspended for pulling out a gun after a string of other incidents that reflect poorly on him.

would you rather we debate MJ vs LeBron for the 10000th time or someone's NFL Combine measurements :dame: instead?


just don't click the thread if you don't like it

No, I'm allowed to be meta, and point out nikkas getting on their moral soapboxes on this topic. Who's the faggit that finds a way to rope Hip-Hop as the reason for society's ills... Has he posted yet?

That's not an argument I make but I do understand how it's always read that way. People have an emotionally abusive relationship with the genre, any critique is met with swift defense in spite of the content literally reveling in Black death.

The leading cause of death for Black males between the ages of 1-44 is homicide, while this is certainly not a function of music, my question is, why do we find content that literally promotes and celebrates Black death to be entertaining as so-called Black people?

There's nothing strange about Ja deciding to show off a gun while rapping along to a song where the artist is rapping about gun violence. There's nothing strange about him wearing the same costume as these rappers while doing so.

We're teaching Black boys and men that this is how they should behave and that's where the music and accompanying videos is responsible.

Some of you nikkas don’t even get it. THEY’RE TRYING TO RUN A MEGA BILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS. The NBA is essentially a television program. These dudes are some of the biggest TV stars on earth. You can’t have the dad from Modern Family running around acting like NBA Youngboy. That’s not how you keep your ratings and Q Scores high. You can call it copping pleas for whites or whatever, but this his profession. You wanna do shyt like this, go work at Ace Hardware. But there are rules nikka. He can fukk up the bag of a lot more folks if he continues to paint the league in a bad light.

Yeah we got a new breed of Brad Steven's and such. Another way how this analytics shyt has fukked up the game and this is a side effect. Whitewashed the sport into unwatchable money ball bullshyt and the strong black voices have been pushed out.
John Thompson and John Chaney never coached in the NBA.

And there are more black coaches and front office people than ever.

The NBA is white washed because players aren’t jacking up contented midrange shots and throwing the ball into oafs in the post 100 times a game? Nikka please.

When will this nostalgia bullshyt stop.
