    Don’t understand the backlash... he’s just pointing out that African Americans were SLAVES for almost another 100 years in a so called land of the free. Can any of you even imagine what slavery was like. Working for free, getting beat to do your work with no opportunities at advancement or happiness. A lifelong of servitude with no gain. Your women raped. Your children with no future and no matter how hard you worked you couldn’t give them a better life than you had. What hope was there? What joy to be had. Just misery and anguish. How can you say you make millions in a free USA when it wasn’t always that way. Nothing was given to this kid. He’s from Reading Pennsylvania. He’s earned everything he’s got. He’s a beacon of hope for his community. If the NBA wasn’t in the USA he’d still be making millions outside of it. African Americans fought in the wars too. Some were forced to fight for slavery to continue. Freedom of speech is ok. You think he’s disrespecting the flag cause it seems patriotic to say, but African Americans weren’t freed this day. The country became free but only these people didn’t. You guys want peace than you have to learn understanding. Understanding unites cause when you see others from their perspective new light is shown.
    the most cruel slave owners were the blacks that owned them
    a lot of slave owners were nice and treated the slaves like family
    there was a lot of slaves that were not blacks also
    was it wrong yes

    I'd be pretty triggered too if I had a hot dog shoved up my ass and used it as my avatar.

    Lonnie worked for everything that he has. He owes the military jack . Do you credit every accomplishment in your life to the military? Because someone died for your "Freedom"? And let's stop the bull with another country. Plenty of other countries have the same or better opportunities than the United States.
    name one country that he can make as much money as basketball ….

    most blacks his age would not even get that much what he is making in 10 years unfortunally

    Why does that matter? He's getting paid what he deserves based on his body of work. He owes the military for that?

    Really? Tell me more... I sense some defensiveness, sprinkled in with a little justification and rationalism. I like how you mentioned it was wrong at the end. How bout we start there. Please tell me more.

    the usa has good and bad history if you take some of the history out the future generations will not learn from it

    George Washington did a lot of good things but at that time money owened slaves including him
    but there are things he did that people can learn from

    if he can not take some bashing on his public take on his politically view then he should not tweet it
    I wonder if he has donated any of his time to help the blacks...

    This is my country too man. My family line came on the Mayflower but I’m not biased. I see things for how they are and to make the arguments your making is flat out wrong. He doesn’t owe nothing to anyone. That would suggest he’s in debt and thus not free. You know the same free that people died for...

    Who says he can't take it?

    Up til now he's been a dirt poor kid. What are you saying he should have donated to black people?

    My man needs to shoot better than like 20% before he starts going full Kyrie/Kaepernick tbh
    I agree. I would have pointed it out but I don't like to meddle in politics or social awareness topics since that's not why I check sports for. Not critical of anyone's views but dude might want to show some game first before getting all judgmental and preachy.

    Truth bombs.

    Knew this dude has problems when he starts littering his tweets with “woke” tbh. Poop did bad vetting and now we know why he was passed up by so many teams.

    Why? Now you have to be an accomplished athlete to have an opinion?

    Feel the same way. He’s using his platform. You don’t have to be qualified to speak your mind. And he’s a leader in his community....

    I really only care about his game not his views on anything personally. The only reason I care about him as a public figure is to see if he has game of not.
