Isiah Thomas: ‘White Silence’ Is Violence
Breitbart TV ^ | 8-26-2016 | Trent Baker

Posted on 08/26/2016 10:52:34 PM PDT by Sir Napsalot

“I look at white silence in these issues (social injustice involving an African-American) as violence,” Thomas said. “White silence is the equivalent to violence in these issues. When you’re not standing up and you’re not speaking out for your brother, right, you and I are brothers regardless of skin color, and this is where this whole race thing, this constructed race thing really separates us in this country, and that’s what we need to get underneath because any type of mistreatment of you or oppression of you I have to stand up and speak against that.”

I don't recall Isiah Thomas standing up nor speaking about outright lies and misrepresentation of manufactured social injustice involving African Americans.

Do we conclude that Thomas is just as guilty then?

Hmm, is this person the same Isaiah Thomas who had a lawsuit filed against him for sexual harassment? THAT Isaiah Thomas? /s

You have to agree that Isiah was never the brightest bulb on the hoop. He just needs some attention and love...evidently.

Frankly, I’m about to swear off sports. It’s all depressing. And I mean all of them. I’m sure that athletes in the past had issues...but you can’t do what you used to and escape notice by the ever present media. Sadly, I was never an athlete. But if I had been and had been offered a bazillion dollars to play a kid’s game for part of the year, I would like to think I would do it and screw up on my own time. Like after I retired at 30.

/rant off :)

I have no idea who this Isiah person is, and don't really think I would want to, with his total lack of grasp about the real world we both inhabit.

Right.

First chance I get I will go to our local hood and begin a rational dialog with one of Obama's homies about this.
You know, the ones who look like him?

NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where’s that ‘Bitch Please’ meme when it’s truly needed... Seems the more these idiots fancies themselves celebrities, the stupider they speak.

Has he ever spoken up for all the knockout game victims? I don't recall ever seeing that.

This asshole said - out loud - if Larry Bird was black he would have been “average.” Bwahahahahaha. His opinion counts as much to me as any other race pimp.

It is part of what will be used to justify actual violence against whites later....large scale.
