Who is saying they are being hunted? Nobody?

Nice one. The advice should be "here is how not to get shot while being black."

My main issue with BLM is they are addressing something that is not even close to the main issue hurting blacks. Yes, a criminal is undeservingly shot every few months - not sure you can get that to zero. But a bad weekend in Chicago has 80 blacks killed by blacks and I have never seen BLM focus on that. They probably have a blurb on their website, but if they are really trying to make the lives of black people better, they go at it wrong.
This 100%

Massive lol at this sitting out sham, does nothing

“I think Firearms are a huge issue in America. I don’t how you clean that up. I’m not saying that I got all the answers, but guns are a huge issue in America. They’re not used for just hunting, that a lot of people do for sport. For Black people right now, we hear hunting we think you’re hunting us.”

If you want to get an idea of what the players are going through I suggest you listen to the Athletic Podcast with Aldridge and Amick, David breaks it down in such a way that I cried for the first time listening to a sports podcast.

If the Lakers and Clippers cancel for whatever reason, 100% over. No way they play and crown a champion.

Would those teams actually cancel their season? Doubtful. That is a giant move.

iwreckshop doesnt follow the mainstream media like you sheep, he follows fox news, OANN, Brietbart and 4chan like a much smarter sheep! The guys giddy about this and posting such phrases like "virtue signaling," you realize you can just not post, right? People won't think of you and won't think you're a moron, and these posts won't stay up for years to showcase your morals.

Edit: I am too dumb to figure out how to embed a tweet, so here it is:

https://twitter.com/netw3rk/status/1298759201989173256

This is a good tweet.

gotta love the venn diagram overlap between people saying 'lol stick to sports shut up and dribble you dumb athletes' and also saying 'what is this protest gonna do? can you point me to the exact line item of public policy that you would like to change?'

These dudes are tired of black people being treated like ****, they're calling attention to a problem and will help support people who try to fix it.

The people who can ACTUALLY do stuff to fix it (the owners) haven't done anything other than issue generic PR statements. If the players media coverage can actually force the powerful owners to do something, then there you have it.

The Devos family who owns the Magic are a top 5 evil force in America, outrageously worse than Donald Sterling.

I mean, they were in the 20s and 30s by the KKK. They were in the 60s by cops, it didn't end with Fred Hampton. Almost every prominent Ferguson protestor has been killed since those protests stopped. These are just the ones we know about.

one of the primary reasons why we're so stuck in everything is that good faither discussion can't exist on this topic

if you even remotely step outside a certain viewpoint, everyone outside that viewpoint labels you as a bad person or a racist

some of the people posting as such here could be dog whistling racism, but whether or not they are, you're shoving out a large percentage who aren't but still have similar viewpoints for other reasons into silence

this is how trump surprises people with wins, because those who support him don't often express it openly, much like how couture was sucker punched yesterday for mentioning it

if people were genuine about about solving the issue rather than virtue signal or pat themselves on the back they'd engage with people and discuss what was said instead of simply dismissing it as the words of a racist
