The NBA pretending they did something historic. Racism is over, good job LeBron.

[Distancefix]

So if this looks rediculous, they took a stupid stance, it wasn't intelligent, then they backed off. They didn't really get anything out of it. Well, you would be correct.

They did get a bunch of blue checks telling us how brave they are. bahahaha

The NBA statement:

"The NBA and its players have agreed to immediately establish a Social Justice Coalition". WOW..! Slow Clap, Slow Clap A coalition for social justice. NO way man. Great job.

"It will be focused on a broad range of issues including access to voting, promoting civic engagement and advocating for meaningful criminal justice and police reform"

Do you mean the criminal justice reform that Trump signed? And the Police Reform that was rejected by the Democrats?

Wow, they are going to use very large public spaces, that are used as polling places, to being used as polling places? That's crazy, huuuge win!

So you are going to do a get out to vote commercial during the NBA playoffs? Brilliant move! SLOW CLAP. OH, MAN, THIS IS INCREDIBLE. You broke racism, racism is over.

12 hour walk off to punish the fans or the owners? Now they are playing again. Bahahaha

Yawn

I like professional sports. Why are they so stupid now? Any theories?

If it was a BLM protest then it would be ok?

Probably had the windows rolled up and spoke in a soft voice when you passed them bikers.Bahahaha

130 bikers +/- vs. a physical 65 year-old...those poor bastages wouldn't have stood a chance.

Thank you for not opening a can of geriatric whoopass on those poor, unsuspecting victims.

They are utterly frustrated with Trump and his racist followers. Kind of like me. Today I was driving into town to mow my mom’s lawn. Traffic was backed up all the way to the exit and it was crawling. A very strange occurrence for this town. Half way up the hill I see the reason. There is a mob of 100+ bikers in the parking lot of Hub’s Pub and another 25-30 in a parking lot across the street. I assume it was some sort of rally. As traffic crawled by I took advantage of that opportunity to yell at the bikers at the top of my lungs. TRUMP....SUCKS!

Like the NBA players, I did little to no good. But it sure was nice to let my feelings be known.

How do you explain Baltimore and Ferguson?

My theory is the rioters are seeking slavery reparations. The more justified they feel, the more damage they inflict.

I've listened to many interactions. It seems they feel justified.

Many have said, "they (business owners) have insurance". I guess they think insurance premiums are free.

I have been known to get frustrated, but I haven't done what these people are doing. I have yelled out my car window before at someone about something, but I can't remember when or what for.

Ferguson cops and courts had been mistreating black residents for YEARS. This was all documented in the DOJ investigation. The level of frustration there was a powder keg. Allowing Brown to lay in the street for four hours while a crowd grew was a huge mistake also.

I don't doubt that. Criminals don't like cops. The cops don't like criminals.

The rioting that happened was during the Obama years is my point.

Hands up don't shoot was made up.

Again if a criminal surrender, and does not try to kill the cops, things are different, don't you think?

Maybe you missed Obama's speech at the DNC, it was hideously false and irresponsible.

His name is Moscow for a reason.

 

[SadButTrue]

Mistaken identity!!!!! What is she talking about. He's black isn't he. Both hand on his head is a signal. It means he's going to break loose and so he's letting the camera person know what to film. The kick was necessary because he wasn't wearing a hat and his shirt was untucked.

Over 20 lies in trumpy's acceptance speech.

 

[Distancefix]

Are they? You remember seeing a lot of white guys being arrested and it being “mistaken identity”. Oopsie.

This mistake never makes the press unless it's a narrative. Because the world racist is used so cheaply by idiots like you, it is meaningless.
Why is every encounter with cops involving a black suspect racist? It fits a narrative, and the facts don't matter.

More white people are killed by police. We just never hear about it.
