“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.”

Thought about this while sitting in the Charlotte airport today. Black people & white people, all kinds of people mingled without trouble. You actually have to go prying around with a sharpened screwdriver to find people looking for racial trouble.
So if a white person deplores black-on-black violence, the usual retort from blacks is, “It’s a black thing, you wouldn’t understand.”
Good point; the hypocrite. Gosh, I feel like the NBA needs to be integrated. No more of this 15% of the population populates 90% of the league. And anybody who speaks against me is a racist. And because millions of us were denied the black privilege of basketball playing, we all demand reparations. Plus, for everytime they play the movie "White Men Can't Jump", they need to play the new smash hit, "Black men Can't Read."
“prying around with a sharpened screwdriver”
You have quite, and true way with words!
Too many blacks and Leftists put the onus on whites to solve their problems. They put pressure on whites by painting them as irredeemably bigoted and oppressive, white males specifically.
Wow Isiah, nice gibberish. When you figure out what this rubbish means get back to us.
Well, they sure as hell can't talk.
Strange...don’t recall Thomas ever going anywhere to any black neighborhood to speak on behalf of the victims of black on black crime....
Sorry Scooter, take you’re BS reasoning and peddle it some place else
College is worse in my opinion. I feel like I’m supporting liberals by watching more so than any other class of sports.
He is the one that said a racist comment about Larry Bird then had to try to back out of it. Unfortunately what he said was on tape and he was trapped.
Black silence is terrorism. If blacks don’t speak out against islamic terrorism then they are part of the violence against people in the name of islam.
Has Thomas spoken out against islam?
No sir Mr. Thomas. “White silence” is borne out of a people focused on their work, trying to eck out a living through determined diligence to ensure that both their individual and family needs are met. The slings and arrows of taxes and endless handouts to the parasitical notwithstanding. A-HOLE.
Go Back to Africa would be my guess...
How about your Black om Black sexual harassment; is that silence?
Where was he when cops were getting murdered?
Where was he whenever whites are hospitalized by groups of six or more blacks?
The way libs work is that if a white person tried to help they would say it’s only because they were forced into it. There is no way to ever get any credit for helping rats. It’s not allowed.
And I look at two nuns murdered this week by a black petty criminal and I see violence. What do you say to that, Isiah?
Silence = violence??
Sure, I’ll play. If the black “community” wasn’t silent about their family members and friends that rob, rape and murder(AKA snitches get stitches), then the black “ community” would experience much less violence. But that’s probably not what he was referring to.
Oh, yeah! Love that play! I was just thinking of it when you posted the link. Thanks.
