Dude, what the does this have to do with anything? I support Israel, too. I guess that makes me RAYCISS.
IS LEBRON JAMES' NEW COACH, DAVID BLATT, RACIST JUST LIKE DONALD STERLING?
During the Donald Sterling racism debacle, LeBron James was quoted as saying "there is no place for [then LA Clippers owner] Donald Sterling in our league." But as it turns out, when he made the bold move to return to Cleveland, he perhaps didn't know about the potentially bigoted skeletons that lurk in Blatt's closet.
Cavaliers Coach David Blatt has openly supported the Israeli assault on Gaza. The victims in this case (the UN reports that three-forth of the 1,900 deaths were civilians), were simply unfortunate enough to be born into the wrong ethnic group in the wrong place, wrong time.
Sterling, by comparison, justified his racist lecture by claiming that racism is normal in Israel. As journalists Max Blumenthal and David Sheen note in a video short for The Nation, there is also a rising anti-African sentiment in Israel, stoked and justified by the idea that it violates the ethnic purity of the state.
But this just compounds an already complex issueregarding minority rights in Israel proper. And taking into consideration the actual brutality occurring in Gaza over the past month, supporting the actions of the IDF reflects upon how these men see non-Jewish minorities.
It is in this context that Blatt said recently, "There's no doubt that we had to act there, so that Israel will have quiet there once and for all and we can live in peace." It's as if the prior 66 years of expelling much of the Palestinian population and ruling over the rest with a military occupation, the slow theft of Palestinian land, and periodic massacres would lead to peace.
By comparison, listen to Sterling's racist exchange with his mistress, saying:
Donald Sterling: It's the world! You go to Israel, the blacks are just treated like dogs. V. Stiviano: So do you have to treat them like that too? DS: The white Jews, there's white Jews and black Jews, do you understand? V: And are the black Jews less than the white Jews? DS: A hundred percent, fifty, a hundred percent. V: And is that right? DS: It isn't a question -- we don't evaluate what's right and wrong; we live in a society. We live in a culture. We have to live within that culture.You get the idea he believes that race intrinsically has the value that racial ideology assigns it. And he's wrong.
Similarly, justifying the Israeli occupation -- as Blatt did -- is not right. Ending the occupation for real and granting full and equal citizenship to all cultural groups inside of Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza is the right thing to do. Calling for a military assault on a captive civilian population, rockets or no rockets, is more than hard to justify.
MIT professor, linguist, famous Arab sympathizer, born to Jewish parents, Noam Chomsky makes the point that:
"When Israelis in the occupied territories now claim that they have to defend themselves, they are defending themselves in the sense that any military occupier has to defend itself against the population they are crushing. You can't defend yourself when you're militarily occupying someone else's land. That's not defense. Call it what you like; it's not defense."
And that sums it up pretty concisely.
As for LeBron. If he is taking his legacy seriously, especially after being so vocal about the Sterling tapes, he may want to have a longer discussion with his new coach, because he may end up not playing in a league not just with a racist owner, but on a team with a coach of questionable values.

woah, this is going to piss of the naruto Pakistani fans
yeah because it's related
I think you're confusing Pakistan with Palestine...
he is also confusing Parker for Austin RiversI think you're confusing Pakistan with Palestine...
And to answer your question OP...
Blatt has nothing to fear. Talking down upon niqqers is frowned upon here...sand niqqers are fair game.
Yeah...watch us win Game 7, though...we do better on the road lately, it seems.

This thread only shows the depths Laker fans have fallen. Their franchise is so godawful and ty, they have to desperately establish what is and isn't a dynasty in order to remember how great it was years ago. They know full well that the death of Jerry and the retirement of Fuhrer Stern has changed everything, and that everyone else in the NBA is going to hold them down and them in the ass and down their throats for the long foreseeable future, and there isn't a goddamn ing thing they can do but clutch their antique metal trophies and reminisce about their "dynasty".
Chomsky is one of the greatest intellectual minds of our generation, GTFODude...he quoted Chomsky...'nuff said...
Please point out the fallacies in this truth bomb, got:Dude, what the does this have to do with anything? I support Israel, too. I guess that makes me RAYCISS.

Yeah Blatt. I don't know how anyone can still support Israel. I would root for Lebron in the finals, but because of Blatt I'm rooting for whoever comes out of the West.
"support israel" means nothing more than "support mass killing of children" or "support apartheid". It's a destructive phrase which people think is somehow humane. The Zionists are the worst monsters in the world, worse that ISIS, worse than McVeigh, worse than the US military, worse than basically every violent force besides the Nazis.
The Nazis were worse, but that's not saying much.
Nazis were the best thing to happen to the world, old sport
You should always root for the west.
They've been & they remain the last foot hold in that region where we can hang our hat & operate from should it ever get to it. We don't have to worry about it. Ever. It's there. We can go there.
No. McVeigh is a hero, Splits. You don't attack Americans on American soil with American tanks. McVeigh avenged that, convened an open air class room in OKC & taught Empathy 101.
Timothy McVeigh
You are one stupid muther er
Jewish State of Israel in the Levant (JSIL) has killed more children than Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)
Two sides of the same coin. Violent extremists who have an insatiable never-ending thirst for more and more land no matter how much blood they have to spill.
