Today racism is everywhere and any anywhere. It is anything and everything. One goes to the bathroom and has a bowel movement racism. Go to the bathroom and urinate racism. Have a case of indigestion racism. Fallen arches racism. Hardening of the arteries racism. Covid-19 virus racism. The Democrats and Blacks are obsessed over this term. Well the Democrats are. The Blacks obsess over what the Democrats tell them to. Neither know what it means. Nor do I.

“It will be a killa and a thrilla and a chilla when I get the Gorilla in Manila,” Muhammmad Ali regarding his opponent Joe Frazier.

Again, another hypothetical for Mizz Buss.

A white player on your team calls an opponent, a “gorilla” like Ali did to Frazier.

Does he get the same treatment as Ali, which is to say a pass?

What happens if a black player calls another black player “gorilla”? Does he get a pass like Ali?

Something tells me the white player would get more of a punishment from Mizz Buss and others of her open-minded, diverse and tolerant type.

And that is racist!

I seriously think we should put Fauxci in charge of professional sports. He’ll keep them shut down for a while due to a teeny tiny Chinese Frankenvirus, they’ll lose a bunch of money, and we’ll all be better off for it.

DANG!

When does she plan to diversify the Lakers to make the team better reflect America?

What does she want me to do, screen her letters for her?

There will always be people who dislike you and they will call you names. Deal with it by growing a thicker skin.

Other people can not make any one love you, they can stop them from physically harming you or punish them if they do but that is the limit of their power.

You need to grow up little girl. Decide who's opinion you value and then ignore the other 99.9% of the world. That is how the rest of us do it.

LIBERAL BRO CODE

When a black man succeeds, it is because all he needed is a chance and now he proved his superiority.

When a white man succeeds, it is because of “systemic racism.”

“...implores white people to stop ignoring racism...”

Translation: “Anything less than instant, 100%, unqualified agreement with what I say, without complaint, and without question is ‘ignoring racism’.”

...Now that “Freedom of Speech” has been thrown into the dustbin of history, Freedom of Silence is next on the list.

Agreed. which is what I said elsewhere. 100,000 white people cheer for a black player and it is an afterthought. One clown says a slur and the headline is “racism exists in America.” Again, I thought we were told decades ago, not to judge an entire group by the actions of a few.

If whites didn’t “ignore” racism, wouldn’t there be a lot more dead black people? I mean, white people ignore a lot of crap that honestly should be offensive to them and they might become enraged and act out their anger. Right now, only the police have this privilege.

I am sorry that Ms.Buss got a such letter...

Nobody is denying that there are racist people out there...White racists...Black racists... Latino racists...Also Asian racists...

It seems as if Ms. Buss is trying to make entire white people feel guilty about this nasty person who sent the letter...

That is wrong...Just get angry with the guy who sent the letter...Stop this collective guilt business...

Most people, in my opinion, do not believe in or practice racism. But for some reason there are a few black and white leaders who wish racism to be a constant issue.

OK, I won’t ignore the racism coming from the left, antifa, or BLM any more.
