Why can't this just be "All Americans demanding African Americans stop getting shot at by cops"?

the "privileged millionaires" argument is galactically stupid bc:

1. most of them weren't born privileged millionaires, so they've dealt with this **** most of their lives as black men
2. to some extent they still have to deal with it personally
3. they obv have family & friends who still have to deal with it every day
4. people can care about bad things that don't affect them personally
5. probably a million other reasons

and whataboutism is extremely dumb


and like for one example, part of the reason the bucks went on strike was bc 2-3 bucks players were personally victims of police brutality in recent years

so being a "privileged millionaire" means **** all here, in reality

also their opponents on the day, were a team owned by the family of a member of the president's cabinet
(so like in a pretty good position to literally address these issues)

damn pretty abstract & tangential huh

TZ 72o >>> SE Hoya Politics 72o

NYC Police union threatening to strike unless Mayor resigns. I’m sure we all agree they should just go VOTE instead, correct?

Awesome, :thumbs up:

Awesome, I don't like Blasio, but I'm willing to tolerate him until the union is broken.

let them strike

crime went down last time they did

also defunding themselves to own the progs lol

Didn't Atlanta decide to do that like a month ago?

Russ sounds ready to go, Rockets up to -210 to win series from like -155 pre-boycott

KP torn meniscus, he's done

that Doncic shot feels like eons ago

seems like they might not even be able to do this (polling places), which would be ... something
(if one of their big won "concessions" is already out the window)

maybe for voter registration etc though, but the rest depends on official deadlines, maybe special permissions if that can be worked out, but that's probably a case by case basis, and obv some cities/states will fight it or just say no


can't imagine the players being happy if this ends up being a big nothing

apparently danny green was saying it was like 50/50 to just walk on the season the other day when they all met


they really should have brought in some experts to help them with the negotiations, instead of getting played by barry & frands

tz 72o don't miss

was gonna say that peak tz72o was goading assani into coining tzgms, but i just looked again and not really
i was there, but

i did get him to say poker players > ibankers, which got a lot of ppl mad:
(still no idea why i even brought up this tangent, as i know precisely **** all about it lol)

but i did kinda sorta predict the demise of hinkie:

#trusttheprocess

ah, memories

3. Kevin Love

Ramon Sessions top 8 PG.

Never forget.

Wasn't it 2. Kevin Love?

13-14 Kevin Love was really, really good. He was 4th in the league in scoring and 3rd in rebounding. He also led the league in not getting back on defense while standing in disbelief after not getting a call.

brandon jennings is ELITE


also, linSANITY

Love didn't really fade on his own, his prototype of player basically became extinct. The natural PF.

Can't believe Cavs paid him a few days after they lost LeBron though. Wait, yeah I can.

I remember writing a super long post about why Monta Ellis was better than Brandon Jennings, back when that was a contrarian take

Which proved to be obviously correct - but wow what a bad use of time

...

While we're reminiscing, remember that sim league Bobbo ran for 2 seasons?

I think I remember that league Binkles. I tried to pull a Hinkie and tank for Kobe plus tim Duncan and Kobe and Bobbo said my owner moved the team because they sucked so bad, probably more realistic than The Process.

My biggest misses were “the warriors paid two firsts for a second round ceiling” right after getting Iggy and Nurk too 10 asset after his rookie year.

legit hard to judge monta though, he was on some really bad run n gun teams that gave him huge minutes (led the league in mpg twice) and both those years actually had offensive ratings below average

put up sick numbers in huge minutes on a losing team is something that a lot of guys getting 20mpg on contenders are capable of doing

he and jennings finished with 16 and 15.7 per respectively

who's to say how good he would have been if he were healthy and on a good team though

His point of view may have merit but certainly not in an absolute sense. Only insane and/or ridiculously dumb people ignore the risk of police presence when potentially committing a crime.

Everybody is having a blast right now pooping in cops and as somebody who grew up on the streets, I get it.

But when the **** really hits the fan and ‘police presence’ is a joke the cities in the country are going to be a living hell.

It won’t be the keyboard cornbread do gooders who suffer—-most of the white knight saviors live in safe neighborhoods——but the poor law abiding black citizens that the ‘woke youth' will prey on.

I missed the crime wave of the 70’s but I’ll have front row seats this time around unfortunately.



Country is ****ed right now, but good people (black white and brown) will pull us through.

I hope.

Also I want to apologize.

I sometimes let my general mood effect how I word my opinions and I probably came across callous and i don’t won’t to promote that sort of outlook.

I still think a good portion of you are naive parrots but there are people dying and/or living in fear and I don’t want to diminish that or turn it into a troll.

I miss hoops, just as I would miss rap and stand up comedy if blacks pulled all their talent from the markets. It’s selfish of me to mock any effort they make when collectively I’ve gotten so much joy from black performers/athletes.

Victor, how is your knee all these years later?

Feels like some of these games get ugly next few days.

Dallas/Port/Orl were all about to get beat and leave the bubble, then had to wait around another 3-4 days because of the boycott. I could be wrong but feels like a few of those lines you just can't make high enough.
