Prob missing a ton of stuff, but can I get cliffs on why those things don’t make him racist?
I mean if you don’t think Rump is racist it’s because you see nothing racist about any of these things. If you see nothing racist about any of these things it’s because, and stay with me on this, you’re racist

I actually agree with this

Humoring and engaging with these moronic viewpoints you know you’re not going to change just so you can feel good about yourself is how we end up with ****bags like miller, conway or Toni lehren or whatever her name is getting an assload of publicity and attention they shouldn’t have

Quote:
The state of racism will never die, but what we cannot do is allow it to conquer us as people," James said after Cavs shootaround in preparation for their NBA Finals rematch with the Golden State Warriors on Monday. "We can't allow it to divide us. ... The guy in control has given people and racism, and negative racism, an opportunity to be out and outspoken without fear. And that's the fearful thing for us because it's with you, and it's around every day, but he's allowed people to come out and just feel confident about doing negative things. ... We can't allow that to stop us from continuing to be together and preach the right word of livin' and lovin' and laughin' and things of that nature. Because would we want to live anywhere else? I don't think so. We love this place."

Pop/Kerr STAN 2020?

Quote:
Van Gundy: Sadly, though, I think the 50th anniversary of his death finds us going backwards on the issue of racial equality. The Voting Rights Act has been largely dismantled. Men of color, and even boys of color, face systemic inequality in the justice system, and we used the war on drugs to lock up a generation of black men. Affirmative action is being torn down. Police are killing men like a modern-day Bull Connor, and economic equality is headed in the wrong direction.

Marches like Charlottesville are disturbing. It used to be that the KKK wore hoods, embarrassed to reveal their identity. Now people with racist beliefs proudly march in the open and are not even repudiated by our president. So yes, we honor Dr. King and all that he sacrificed and all that he accomplished. But if we truly want to honor him, we must get back out and fight like he did against the now-resurgent voices of racial injustice, discrimination and hate. I think 25 years ago Dr. King might have been happy to see some progress. My guess is today he would be in tears over where we are headed.

Yeah Lebron, that's definitely what MLK was referring to when made his Dream speech. An overrated coward beta loser who needs at least 2 elite teammates to do anything and will jump ship at the first sign of trouble.

He clearly means not just casual racism but aggressive racism of the type not that dwells in the subconscious, but of the fully conscious type that is designed to directly work harm against and subjugate other races, and legally and politically assert and enshrine white racial superiority.

EDIT: Or in internet terms, he's not just talking about people who aren't woke yet, but also people like the KKK / Richard Spencer / white nationalists.

This may not be what he means, but there is such a thing as positive and negative racism. Positive racism involves being for a race, claiming that it has superior attributes. Negative racism involves being against a race, claiming that it has inferior attributes. I'm not sure if LeBron is the kind of person who is knowledgeable about technical concepts such as the difference between being pro-white instead of anti-black.

What Popovich says about racists is probably true for most people who have denied being a racist in this thread:



So, on this day, let's look a little bit at MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech. Some fixate on the image of little black boys and girls and little white boys and girls and ignore the rest of the speech, not the dream itself, but the path towards that dream.

For the dream is still but a dream. This is why Kaepernick knelt. This is why people need to be told that black lives matter.

King said, "We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism." He vowed, "Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America...."

The racists seek to wear us down, to be so continually offensive that we weary of the fight, that we back down, that we cut and run. Instead, to these purveyors of culture war, we should promise them war without end, if necessary, that we will never be the first to back down, that we will never be weary. Racists are wrong and they deserve to be piled on and criticized whenever they pop up.

Seeing all the right wingers' messages about MLK today is just gross. I see they're getting destroyed (justly) on Twitter. Stuff like Pence laying a wreath at MLK's grave and waxing philosophical and praising MLK, then immediately being reminded he just recently angrily left an NFL game in a scripted publicity move because black players were protesting racism.

Give me a break with ****ing **** like this:



**** you, Paul Ryan.
