Weeellll pillllgram, life is tougher and it’s tougher if you are stupid. I’m sure your T shirt will go a long ways to getting big bucks in the NFL. Then you can give all your earnings, except a minimal survival stipend, to blm.
He probably ought to avoid Chicago, because that is one place where you can get killed for being black. Killed by other Blacks, that is.
,,,,,,, there’s a 90% chance that if you’re murdered it will be at the hands of another black . I sympathize with you over the path your culture has taken itself .
If Tyreke gets killed, statistically there’s probably about a 94% chance it’ll be by a Democrat voter or supporter. 90% are by blacks, who are monolithically Democrats, and about half of the non-blacks are Democrats (the nation is sadly about evenly split).
My sentiments exactly. How would you like have a guy like this on your team. You can tell he wants attention no matter how he gets it. These kinds are never "team players". It is better that he is exposed now for what he is than later. . .Maybe he'll end up like that loser Kapernick or whatever his name is. . . .
Victimhood carried to its insane conclusion.
I wouldn't waste my time or money to support a university that would tolerate this kind of player on their team. Unity of team and UNITY OF FANS. Ohio State alums need to wake up to reality on this one. Anyway. . .are there any really good role models for youth anymore. I'm just not seeing it on a national level.
Right. Let's have a "conversation." That fixes everything. Is there a more worthless hollow act than to call for a "national conversation"? It's the generic democrat approach to addressing any problem. It avoids entirely the heavy lifting of doing any real work -- like going into the black neighborhoods and fixing the probably irreparably damaged vile welfare, drug and gang-banger culture.
“I hope I don’t get killed for being black today.”
Then don’t do something stupid!
In the article, it states that Smith’s older brother Malik created the shirt. Malik says, “The shirt was created to bring light into the everyday problems that blacks face between police and black-on-black crimes. The shirt exemplifies a voice that we have, but may not be heard. So why not have people see it?”
But there are some problems with this. First of all, who is Tyreke Smith and who determines him to be an expert on the problem he foolishly incorrectly displays other than what he is told?
This is an obvious example of someone doing something the wrong way by displaying a home made shirt with misunderstood writing on it. By not understanding what he is saying, he is making the problem worse, not better, creating more unrest or making the availability of the creation of it to people that do this.
We have enough problems needing to be fixed without immature, small thinking children pushing their two cents into something they are making worse rather than better by not understanding the ramification of their lack of forethought. In other words, if you aren’t part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. As in too many cases, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. If he wants to use his spotlight, then use it for something that is done right, not stupidly.

If this black guy is walking the streets of certain black neighborhoods in Chicago, he may very well be killed for being black and being there by a black guy. Imagine that!
He should watch Chris Rock’s “How To Not Get Your Ass Kicked by the Police”.
It would teach him volumes.
I agree with him and suggest he stay away from the south side of Chicago and most other cities.
Sounds like he is a child of a BLM activist...
Shirt caption amended: “I hope I don’t get killed by another black today.”
I didn’t copy that. Just an example of parrallel thought.
As many people mentioned, he is completely missing the point on the real risk black men in America face. However, there is another side to this:
Colin K’s approach was shockingly rude - insult our Flag, our Anthem, our country, and our ancestors who died to protect America . . . and then claim he wanted to start a “conversation” about race. Sorry, no conversation with people who start out insulting so many things we revere. That stops sensible people before they even consider whether the spoiled loser is likely to listen to the other side of the “conversation” or this is meant to be just another liberal lecture.
This moron’s approach is simply misguided. He’s missing the fact that the overwhelming majority of the risk to decent young black men comes from the black thugs police are trying to stop, not from police. I don’t see any point in conversing with either him or Colin K, not when liberals never listen to the truth, but this rookie is still head and shoulders above his predecessor in the news.
Every morning I wake up and the first thing I do is think about ways I can hurt Americans of African Descent.
Only I don’t.
I think about if there’s any raspberry jelly left.
