White privilege?

[Matt Dillon]

Without using Google, do you even know (a) where Marx was from and (b) what his philosophies were?

I don't know A, but I do know B is a failed idea many times over.
I have never read Das Kapital in its entirety, only seen retarded theories from it on the internet.
I have read "The Naked Communist", though.
GTFO here with that "surplus labor value" bullshit!

If 81% of the players are black and 13% of the population is black that means there's black privilege.

Or it just means black bodies have more value to white people in professional sports.

Just be glad they aren't going for brains.

The clown Stenen A Smith recently said the hiring of Steve Nash as head coach of the Brooklyn Nets is an example of white privilege, As evidence he rightly noted that Nash has never been a coach on any level but is getting a head coaching job supposedly over more qualified black candidates.

Well a review of head coaches hired in the NBA since 1980 that had no prior coaching experience whatsoever reveals 16 people were hired and of that number 9 were black. So you leftist inbred pig fuckers tell us, is it white privilege for Nash to be hired?

For heaven's sake. Smith is a Sports Commentator! Commentators live and die making opinions on the air!

That is their job, to make points and encourage counter points. They go out on a limb on purpose!

Smith is a very colorful commentator. He knows he is not always right. He knows he has had his ass handed back down to him on a platter many times.

You should be disagreeing with him, instead of getting upset about what he said.

Are there enough Black Coaches in the NBA? Probably not! So his point is not exactly just invalid.

But Smith is going to have a huge challenge on his hands here in gaining consensus on this one- because STeve Nash is one of the most beloved and respected WHITE GUYS in all of NBA history- and he certainly deserves a shot at a head coaching job.

Relax- Don't take this shit personally!

This is more about selling widgets on air- than it is about the star commentator playing the "White Privilege" card.

You have to have a grain of salt in you to watch sports commentary!

A lot of those guys have degrees, if they came from a college team.

So what's your excuse?

 

[Yakuda]

I don’t have to prove anything, it is my opinion and people just have to read your posts to see for themselves.

What have I said thats racist asshole? It should be easy to show. Nobody gives a fuck what your opinion is. My opinions is you're a dimwitted asshole so it's true right?

What Smith said isn't "sports commentary"

So...MLK didn't actually say what you think he said.

What he said was that the dream isn't about being colorblind, it's about finding equal value in all races.

But because you're lazy, you don't really give things much more thought than superficial face-value...a trait you share with Conservatism.

Here's a terrific piece, by a black writer (someone whose name you might recognize) that digs into the meaning of the speech and that line in particular:

REGGIE JACKSON: MLK’S “DREAM” WAS NOT ABOUT BEING COLORBLIND BUT SEEING THE SAME VALUE IN EVERY COLOR
http://www.milwaukeeindependent.com...nce from the,calling for a colorblind society.

How is that different from what I said other than you, and whatever friends you have in your room, claiming I'm wrong and then you restating the idea?

Again, dude, you brought up your own straw man of color blindness. I was talking about justice for all.

By Jerome's logic, you are 100% correct.

While I think bigotry is harmful to the best interests of both national security and "We, the People", Jerome's Rainbow and Unicorns paradigm doesn't actually exist except in the minds of schoolgirls and the mentally ill.

Martin Luther King once said we should judge people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. I agree 100%. If an occupation favors one skin tone over another, that's an interesting area of study, but as long as the process is fair, why try to jam a quota down the throats of innocent Americans?

 

[StoneByStone]

Never. I agreed with you that trump is a product of the problems with America. Trump doesnt made the left behave like assholes that's all you guys.

Thinking only one political group acts like assholes is how you know that you're brainwashed.

What Smith said isn't "sports commentary"

Look dude! It is!

Smith does make a good point. But he is not a racist. He is upset with just a very select group of WHITE BILLIONAIRES that happen to own NBA teams who keep hiring WHITE coaches over and over again while showing poor disregard for many proven and qualified BLACK coaches that never seem to get the opportunity to coach in the NBA.

But the WHITE PRIVILEGE is not even in the coaching aspect of it- it seems to come from the OWNING- and who owns the NBA teams.

So really dude- this is not about Steve Nash! I'm sure Steve Nash would agree with Smith, if asked what he thought about it!

This is about WHITE BILLIONAIRES who own NBA teams, and if you don't understand that- THEN YOU ARE THE RACIST ASSHOLE- not SMITH!

How is that different from what I said other than you, and whatever friends you have in your room, claiming I'm wrong and then you restating the idea?

Because by saying you're "colorblind" what you're saying is that you think some races are better than others, so to make everyone equal, you remove color from the conversation.

Watch this video:

 

[LV426]

Again, dude, you brought up your own straw man of color blindness. I was talking about justice for all.

You're the one who argued that MLK saying "judge someone by the content of their character, not the color of their skin" means he, or you, or anyone doesn't see race or color.

But that is not what MLK said.

He said not to judge someone based on the color of their skin, not ignore it or pretend it doesn't exist.

LMAO! So you bolded the irrelevant part of what you wrote, not the relevant part, which was this:

Martin Luther King once said we should judge people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. I agree 100%.

Right, but that doesn't mean you look past someone's skin, ignore it, pretend it doesn't exist, or erase it.

That wasn't what MLK was saying.

Or it just means black bodies have more value to white people in professional sports.

So you're going to try and twist millionaire athletes that get paid to play as some sort of victim?

If you ever wanted people to take White privilege seriously you should probably not talk about it because that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. It's completely voluntary if they didn't want to play sports they wouldn't have to. Talking about them as it's some sort of indentured servitude is dishonest disingenuous and immaterial

Aren't they, though? The body trauma football players experience starting out in peewee through the NFL renders most of them physically disabled (or experiencing chronic pain) for the rest of their lives. I read somewhere that playing a game of football is the equivalent to running into a brick wall at full speed for 3 hours a day. Now extrapolate that out to a 16 game season, plus preseason, plus training camp and practices, and you have (mostly) black bodies being punished for entertainment.

I'm no fan of football, but even I think that shit sucks for the players.

Also, most players don't make millions of dollars, have careers in the NFL for less than 3 years, have no real health care protections once they leave the league, and their salaries get divvied up among their agents and managers, who take anywhere between 10-20% each before taxes.

The problem is that sports are one of the few ways black people can get themselves out of the horrible economic conditions many of them grew up in, because professional sports is a true meritocracy. In fact, it might be the only meritocracy in this country.

 

[Earl]

Young people play sports because they love sports, at least most do.

Some who are talented and hard workers get athletic scholarships and a free ride at a university.

If you put a color quota on coaches, then the same quota must apply to the athletes which would cause a lot of black athletes to lose their jobs.

No.

so don't play these games moron. Sounds simple to me.

Now extrapolate that out to a 16 game season, plus preseason, plus training camp and practices, and you have (mostly) black bodies being punished for entertainment.

so your problem is with black people having free will they should be subjugated? Should they not be allowed to use their talents to make money? Should you be allowed to own them David Duke?

I'm no fan of football, but even I think that shit sucks for the players.

they don't have to do it they choose to. Are you advocating they should not have that choice?

that's some white supremacist moronic nonsense. you don't think black people can go to medical school and become doctors why do you think they're inferior to you or white and Asian people?

the problem I have with this is you're trying to justify white supremacy try and check a privilege that doesn't exist. You weren't so bad to fight against the pointy sheets you become them.

Black people are just as capable of becoming engineers doctors lawyers and so forth. you to suggest they aren't is for you to take on an opinion espoused by the KKK.

Um...indeed.

Dr. Ben Carson comes to mind.

LV is a racist who thinks that Blacks can't succeed without quotas...a "plantation" advocate.

Well, the owners seem to think so...which is why they (and the league over the player's union's objections) fought so hard to obscure the CTE research that proved the sport is deadly and dangerous.
