[Shastafarian]

My bad then you're just not very smart.

[Shastafarian]

you prove my point. pricks like you, and the media s, use this bull to try and get people to hate instead of ignore. you're worse than sterling because your an instigator like the who taped him.

I am? Show me comments where I instigate.

tell me, how does his comments DIRECTLY AFFECT YOU? THEY DONT ASSHOLE

They don't directly affect me. Not sure what that has to do with anything. You don't have opinions on things that don't directly affect you?

Please explain how cowboy is racist, giant is culturally insensitive (this one should be fun), and how the "browns" are racist. Waiting for enlightenment.

[cd021]

then cowboy is racist, giants would be culturally insensitive, cleveland indians and browns are out too... this country is full of overly sensitive es. cry more...then sue. pussy

The Redskins name is completely racist. Its like people want to argue even if its obviously offensive. Its not the 1960's anymore people can't get away with being racist morons.

Washington's owner doesn't want to change the name because it would be an acknowledgment that he was the name is offensive (not to mention the millions in re-branding)

[Mikeanaro]

Im sure many whites uttered these same words after malcom X was shot

Well...It works for every side right?

Predictably, this fool never came back

I'm super-duper shocked.

[rjv]

this "discussion" went about as well as i would have predicted.

I've got to admit, I was expecting a 2-year ban at most. For life? Wow. Man, Silver really dropped the hammer down on that Numbskull. Wouldn't it be funny if Sterling snuck into a game wearing a disguise and got outed in the middle of the stands? They could surf his butt down to the court, and everybody could heckle him, and the Black guys could try to hit on his woman.

cowboy obviously racist to white westerners, giants offended tall people, indians = redskins, browns = making 1 color superior ..... all ppl can make ANYTHING offensive its really old

[SupremeGuy]

this "discussion" went about as well as i would have predicted.

Oh I don't know, there were a few intelligent posts.

Like this one for example:

Jay Z wears his ignorant-assed Five Percent Nation medallion while sitting in the $4,000 seats at an NBA game, and none of you heels got upset. For those who don't know, the Five Percent Nation people believe that “Whiteness is weak and wicked and inferior — basically just an errant child who needs to be corrected.” That's about as blatantly racist as it gets. But most of you will fall back on the most blatantly ignorant response in existence... "That's different." It's not different. Both are reprehensible. And yet you focus on one, and offer the other a pass.

Jay Z has been on speed dial for Obama for years, and none of you make demands that either of them should be boycotted for their obscenely racist associations. Ex-Knicks player Larry Johnson called for an all-Black league today, but none of you are "appalled" by that comment.

The one and only fact here is that this isn't a discussion about racism. Most of you don't really give a about racism. This is about who gets to be on top. Sterling is a racist , and I dislike him intensely for it. A whole bunch of you are racist s, who pretend that you aren't. Ditto for you. In spades. You can't have it both ways. If you don't have a problem with Jay Z's racist bling on the front row at an NBA game, or in the White House, you're part of the problem. Free your mind, and the rest will follow.

Thank you for proving my "instigation" point. Just out of curiosity, what minority are you?

What difference does that make, bigot?

[Beaverfuzz]

you David Sterling, whomever you are!

[Shastafarian]

You forgot to make it blue

[SupremeGuy]

Weak deflection, tbh.

[Shastafarian]

Weak deflection, tbh.

lol what? I thought you were kidding.

[SupremeGuy]

Keep avoiding the question, bigot.

[Shastafarian]

Keep avoiding the question, bigot.

You're out or your element here. He claimed to be a minority. I'm curious which one. I'm a minority too. Go back and actually read the conversation

[SupremeGuy]

What difference does it make though? The implications stemming from your question are quite sad and disappointing, tbh. Especially from someone who's supposedly arguing for racial equality...

[Shastafarian]

What difference does it make though?

Because I think he's lying. Or he considers a particular group a minority when in fact that group is not. But hey if he comes in here and says he's african american or native america etc. I'll be less hard on his completely idiotic views.

You're reading into them what you want then. Sorry.

[SupremeGuy]

So basically you're admitting that you want to treat minoritys' opinions differently... you do realize that compromises any argument you were trying to have about equality, right?

/argument

What are you talking about? If anything I'm elevating the opinion and thoughts of minorities. Why? Because as a minority I know what discrimination is like and wouldn't equate white cowboys AND THE WORD "BROWN" with racism or discrimination.
